Flowers in the storm

Thursday, August 10th, 2006

The cuttings I made from this flowering plant seem to be doing well, which is something to really look forward to since this plant can grow and flower rather quickly, and the flower is really bright and beautiful. Although it is not as woody, the leaves resemble a kind of rose variety. I’m really quire […]

Re: an e-art event on Lebanon’s destruction

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

Although such e-art events are mostly well-meaning, I think that what is most needed now are stronger intrsopections and challenging of our own work and positions as creative practitioners. We have enough “events” and rather need deep processes of internal re-thinking. For instance, I would be more interested in how the Waag Society and Streamtime […]

Salubungin mo!

Wednesday, August 9th, 2006

That’s the local folk’s advise on how to escape lava flows from Mayon Volcano. Actually, this makes sense if one lives in the hilly countryside because while it is futile to try and outrun flowing magma, one has a better chance of survival if one raced forward towards higher ground.

Although I’ve been on Friendster since January 2004, I hardly ever visit it because of the enormous amount of advertising on their website. Everywhere is this awful blinking and moving - and if you’re not alert, could […]

What am I doing

Saturday, August 5th, 2006

Here? I hardly ever visit Friendster, but now that I’m here, have decided to do something with it. For one, Friendster seems to be running much faster (even with all the awful adverstising) than ages ago (I’m still on dial-up, you know) . Apart from that, it’s tough to keep coming back here (except […]
