Posted by: Fats in: Ang kasabihan...Early morning I got woken up by Alwin trying to steal Edward! 
And Alwin’s supposed to be sick and in bed! 
Then I got woken up again by a long-distance phone call from Eric! Thank goodness he wasn’t trying to steal Edward too!
Anyway, the site was down for a couple of hours today, first I thought due to another permissions problem, but it turns out it was because of a MySQL upgrade. Everything’s back to normal now. My webhost is actually pretty good, answering support queries very quicly and running everything pretty efficiently.
As for now I got woken up after a good 4 hours sleep. I slept rather early around 8:30PM, and I realized it was easier to fall asleep with just the TV on at very low volume - of course, tuned into my favorite religious program! Then I think the TV automotically shuts down after about a minute of the station signing off (when there’s no signal).
I guess now’s the perfect time to continue some work. Been trying to finish a draft proposal for a “Philippine digital art festival” and we’ll be discussing this early morning today. I hope everything goes well today! But before that - some food first!
It is our life that is ultimately our work as artists. I was stuggling with my work when I was doing it all here in the Philippines - perhaps because here my whole life is also lived in an aggressive and competitive struggle. But how was it possible that in only two months in Sierre, the struggle transformed into a relaxing, worthwhile and enjoyable working process? Had I stayed longer, I could make a thousand little boats with those grape branches! I hope I can hold on to this simple pleasure back here, and I hope that you reach that starting line and never feel the need to struggle so much anymore.

Yesterday, I remember, I dreamt that I was outside and asked for directions and had to walk through an underpass. But the underpass was flooded with water as it has been raining very hard. The current was really quite strong but I saw an elderly woman walk towards the water anyway and the water level was way over her. I didn’t see her after that and thought that perhaps she drowned or got carried off by the current. What a strange dream. It is also not nice if I dream of water, especially a lot of water since it is usually followed by an earthquake within two weeks! I hope this isn’t true anymore …
