I have a lot of varying interests over the years and I am overtly fond of starting things that I am almost always unable to see through the end. I could be convincing myself to run and sweat buckets one day, the next one I could be psyching myself to learn another language, then the week after I’d be obsessing on where to probably get a cheap-ass cello so I can finally learn to play the damn thing, a month after I could be poring over three-inch-thick books after stopping halfway through a Shel Silverstein work just because, and who knows in maybe a year, I could be trying to prove I can cook something that is not sinigang, nilagang baka, or fried egg.

Anyway, bottom line — I want to do a lot of things and my interest on each of those things shifts as quickly as a chameleon threatened with imminent death. 

Thankfully, though, there are six of those things that have at least stuck with me all through the past I dunno how many years.

This was supposed to be my entry for the “FSP: You” project, wherein you’re supposed to stay in your own home or space or whatever and create a narrative from there. I basically had a whole month to do this and that was more than enough time to churn out at least something, right? But since I barely stayed home the whole of November, well, let’s just say I wasn’t able to do it in time.

(Imma just chalk this up as one of those shoganai things, which apparently I have a rather long list of. Can’t be helped, man, it is what it is, I am what I am, that list could sink to the bottom of the ocean for all I care.)

ALSO, TSEKERD, WELCOME BACK!

Silhouettes of Nightly Dreams

The darkness descends
and I see myself standing beside you,
wings fluttering, face beaming,
words full of those carefully-crafted promises
you’ve always seemed to bring.

You point and the path seems ominous somehow,
the lattice seemed lit in sporadic manner and yet not,
there’s a randomness to it but even that is periodic,
to some end I think I see but really cannot.

Each time brings me to this point,
to think whether to stay here or move somehow;
rooted on my spot or take a step now,
to watch you go away to the distant point alone
like I do, every single time,
or float along with you and be done of this dream,
finally, conclusively, once and for all.

So, my friends and I were killing time waiting for the Tokyo Dome to open its gates for the Aerosmith concert, just walking around Tokyo Dome City and checking if there’s a shop we could go to check stuff out at. Then I saw this, I don’t even know what this kind of structure is called, like maybe a walkway with arches or something? Anyway, Japanese people are quite fascinated with lighting up stuff like maple leaves, trees, bushes, et cetera (they usually call it “Illumination”). This one was well-done, I thought, because the visual appeal was just off the charts that I let my friends walk away and I just kind stood there, looking at the awesome geometric patterns and the awesome lighting and thought, “wow, this would make for a very dramatic photo right now, only if someone actually is right there in the middle …” Lo and behold, two people actually walked right past me and onwards to the center of the perspective lines. Ready, aim, fire, plug into computer, run black and white conversion, and voila — this shot was made.

I’m not an object, I do have a mind,
You can’t just keep leaving me behind.
