Typhoon Milenyo was raging outside when Alwin made this. There was no power, and it was getting dark that afternoon. I lifted the curtains so some light would go into my room, for Alwin. I told him, the eye of the storm must be on us now because there is a bit […]

Quite a downpour, which started around 2PM and still going an hour later! I don’t like dark cloudy days but I do love the rain. It’s also nice having coffee in this kind of weather. Actually now I’m having some arroz or roasted rice coffee which my aunt bought about a week ago. […]

I took the issue of “Freetrade” in exploring this question because it is a rather complex problem, far more complex than simplistic answers such as “sacrifice”, “perseverance”, “choice”, “hardship”, “savings”, “management”, “professionalism”, “experience”, “talent”, “education”, “responsibility” - mostly about the desire and proficiency to build an arts career after having made the choice to creative […]
