I just renewed my passport here in Cebu City.   The time to go apply abroad is just a step away... Residencies, grants, seeing openings and exhibitions, meeting fellow artists, curators and writers...we start building new relationships, friends and competition... Challenges to make life better and inspiring new works... I am dragging that step though.   Even though I know that this is my shangri-la and that being that well-rounded artist would make me content and happy.   I play the field of challenges with hardly any capital and it has brought me so much....   I wanted to experience some more years of solitude and bliss... I am lethargic....   Working in a company has always been on my mind too... A peripheral image that I dare not look at for long in fear that this might seduce me into staying put....   I am meeting a lot of new friends and am quiet happy... Being away for a while has burned me bridges yet gave me a bigger perspective.   Responsibilities beckon though… I wake up bothered that I am moving very fast and just breezing images as I pass… They fail to sink in deep… I hardly slow down and nary looking back… I have this time and it is ending… I want it to begin again... I have all my strengths yet none to push me forward... I never wanted distinction....   I just wanted to blend into the wall and just watch the carousel pass by....   I fear I am doing that right now….   To break the cycle I have to walk away....   sigh .... I hope I don't hurt much or hurt anyone....   I just want to pursue what I want to do by myself....   To seek contentment on the simple art of making art and sharing it with a lot of people that are important to you....   To bring these people to a part of your images and give them your life....



 *** A Disclosure for My Blogs


My Humble Apologies to Everyone.

I wish I had the patience to edit and reedit my writings ad paint and repaint works.     I know I missed a lot of errors.     I tend to drag, digress, compromise, and be emotional about accounts.     A typical OCD.     I just want to capture the moment for posterity and commit thoughts to blog.     Staring at a blank piece of paper, I just want to make my marks.     I enjoy writing and will continue until the end.     I enjoy editing and repainting.     Live life fully.     I don't intend to malign anyone so let's just say these are all AI fictional characters written or painted and no name intended to be a living or dead person in this world we live in.   All creations in this private world are mine and mine alone.   lol ...

Ruminating Death

Ruminating Death December 21, 2008, 11:04 pm When I die I want to be cremated and my love ones to celebrate in white. We are given a brief time to live in this lifetime... Celebrate it and celebrate the people around you... Find fulfillment in the things you have accomplished and the choices you made... Second chances come rarely for everyone... Make the best of them... Learn from your successes and your failures in equal doses... Find the best people in your lifetime and make your life count... No regrets... Move on and always have closure... We find joys in simple things and passion in complexities... Journey to our goals add zest to our life... I want my friends and family just to celebrate... I celebrate them and give thanks every minute of my life.. .I give thanks for the simple things that happen and the same goes for the blessings I receive... Accidents happen and mistakes have their toll... We will learn from them... If you haven't then I pity you.         .. If I had ten p
