East Lynne Theater Company presents the world premiere ZORRO!
by BWW News Desk - Jul 8, 2014
The award-winning Equity professional East Lynne Theater Company's next production is a swashbuckler: the world premiere of 'Zorro!' based on Johnston McCulley's 'The Curse of Capistrano' (1919) adapted by James Rana. Spanish for 'fox,' Zorro fought the oppressive colonial government in Spanish California with a quick sword and wit. Wearing a mask, he kept his identity secret, even to the woman he loved. In 1939, Bob Kane and Bill Finger gave credit to McCulley's masked avenger, with his dual identity, as their inspiration for 'Batman.' Like Bruce Wayne and Batman, Don Diego and Zorro are never seen together at the same time. (more...)

Raynald of Chatillon is finally released having been captured in 1180, Baldwin made him lord of Kerak, a fortress to the east of the Dead Sea. Raynald raids caravans and attacks Mecca, enraging the Moslems.
1176 - Philip of Flanders shows up demanding to be regent and his vassals marry the princesses, Isabella and Sybilla. The counsel led by Baldwin of Ibelin says no, Philip goes home angry. Rumor has it that Sybilla and Baldwin of Ibelin were lovers, so she had no interest in marriage.
1177 - Raymond III of Tripoli stands down as regent. Baldwin's mother, Agnes, convinces him to make Joscelin III the seneschal.
Baldwin allows his step mother Maria to marry Balian of Ibelin.
1177 Nov 27 - Victory at Montgisard, the Crusade's most splendid victory. 500 knights, 80 Templars, 3000 all told won against 30,000 Mamelukes led by Saladin. Raynald led the armies, Saladin barely escaped.

1182 - Baldwin makes Guy regent.
1182 - The last of the byzantine Comneni dynasty rulers Andronicus Comnenustakes the throne, widely hated and killed in a revoltion in 1185.
1183 - Agnes had Baldwin marry his sister Isabella to Humphrey IV of Toron, an ally to Agnes, thus neutralizing the Ibelin-Maria faction. Saladin besieged the fortress with the wedding guests inside. Baldwin lifted the siege, Guy refused to fight Saladin and Saladin's troops simply went home. Lady Kerak reminded Saladin he had carried her as a child when he was a slave and prisoner at her castle, (??) he kindly tells his warrior to refrain from attacking the newlyweds.
Baldwin deposed Guy as regent who retired to Ascalon in disgrace, taking Sibylla with him.
1183 - Alexius II is murdered with a garrotte on Andronicus Comnenus's orders, who becomes the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire and Constantinople until 1185. He marries Alexius's widow, Agnes of France, the daughter of Louis VII and his third wife, Adèle of Champagne.
1184 - Agnes dies in Acre, her widower Reginald of Sidon later married Helvis, a daughter of Maria Comnena and Balian of Ibelin.
1184 - Baldwin attempts to have Sybilla's marriage to Guy anulled. Unsuccessful, Baldwin excludes Sybilla and appoints his nephew, Baldwin V heir under the regency of Raymond of Tripoli, with the instructions that if Baldwin V was to die young, either Sybilla or Isabella would take the crown.
Enter some bad guys:
Heraclius, Patriarch of Jerusalem whose private life was a scandal and who headed a plot to kill Baldwin IV. Sybilla chose him to be Patriarch over William of Tyre, the next in line for the job, some say because she was his mistress. William became Heralius's devote enemy.
Gerard of Ridfort, Grand Master of the Temple and enemy of Raymond of Tripoli (Raymond of Toulouse). Raymond had promised a rich woman to Gerard, changed his mind and gave to to the Italian, Plivano instead, Gerard huffed off to Jersalem and became Grand Master when the old one died.

1185 - Andonicus is away from the castle, his lieutenant orders the execution of Isaac II Angelus, the descendant of Alexius I. Issac flees, gathers the people, and when Andronicus returns, he is tortured for three days and finally killed Sept 12. Issac II Angelus becomes the Constantinople's Byzantine Emperor to 1195.
1186 - On a Friday, without the agreement of the barons, Sybilla gathers Raymond of Tripoli, Gerard, Reynald and Heraclius, the latter crowns her queen on the condition she divorce Guy. She agreed, but turned around and remarried Guy, much disliked because of his stupity and cruelty. Guy is supported by the Templars but not the Hospitallers.
Raymond III and the nobles attempted to stage a coup in order to place Isabella on the throne with her husband Humphrey IV of Toron, who did not want to provoke a civil war, and gave his support to Sibylla and Guy. Raymond III, disgusted, returned home to Tripoli, and other nobles, such as Baldwin of Ibelin, also fled the kingdom.The kingdom is split, chaos reigns.
Humphrey's mother is Stephanie, Lady of Kerak. Constance of Antioch, Raymond of Poitiou's widow is dazzled by Reynald of Chatillion, and gave him one of her best lands. After she died, Reynald marries the Lady of Kerak.
1186 - Reynald of Chantillion breaks the truce with Saladin by attacking a Muslim caravan crossing from Babylon to Damascus and passing by Kerak, and taking prisoners, including Saladin's sister, Esclamonda. Saladin asks Guy for the return of the caravan and his sister, Guy asks Reynald who replies no, he is king of his own lands and owes no peace to Saladin. Saladin declares Reynald will die.
Reynald was known for his cruelty, supposedly capturing the Patriarch of Constantinople (Theodosius I Borradiotes , Basil II Carnaterus or Nicetas II Muntanes?), cutting his head open, laying the cuts with honey and leaving him in the sun to be eaten by insects.
Guy asks Gerard, the Master of the Hospitallers Brother Roger of les Moulins, Josias Archbishop of Tyre, Balian of Ibelin and Reynald of Sidon to approach Raymond of Tripoli and request help against Saladin, being he is the most experienced knight in the realm. Reynald went his own path, Balian said he would catch up after an errand, the others continue. Meanwhile, on May 1, Saladin is given permission from Raymond to cross Tripoli as long as he is peaceful. The Master of the Temple hears Turks are in Tripoli, doesn't listen to his companions, gathers troops and finds Saladin at the Spring of Cresson. Saracens 7,000, Christians 140. The Master of the Temple escapes with three knights, all the rest are slaughtered. Saladin parades the heads of all in front of Tiberias but goes home peacefully. Balian was late due to staying for Mass in Sebastea, hears the news in Nazareth, arrives late and reunites with Raymond.
Saladin returns with 80,000 troops, takes lower Tiberias easily. Raymond's wife, Countess Echiva and children are in the citadel. Guy wants to march to Tiberias, Raymond says it's too hot, go to Acre instead, Master of the Temple convinces Guy that Raymond is a traitor, so off they go leaving Balain in charge of Jerusalem, taking with them the Holy Cross discovered by Constantine's mother in 326. On their march, the run into a sorceress who claims she put a spell on the barbarians for Saladin and was on her way to get paid. The Christians burnt her alive, a story the church forbid anyone to believe.
1187 - Isaac offers his sister Theodora to Conrad of Montferrat
1187 Jul - Saladin crosses the River Jordon, defeats the Crusaders at the Battle of the Horns of Hittin and takes control of most of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, including Tiberias
Jul 04 - At the Battle of Hittin, the Saracens came up on the camped Christians, and set up their camps surrounding them so closely "you could have whispered together" or "not a cat could have slipped through the net." The Christians were out numbered ten to one. In the morning, Raymond asks Saladin why he does not attack. Saladin replies you are invading on my territory, you must strike first. Saladin chastised his son for saying the war was over as he found Christians hiding in the king's tent, Saladin said the war was not over until the king's tent was down, and immediately took it down. Prisoners included the King, his brother Geoffrey, Amaury, Reynald Lord of Kerak, Lord of Jebail, son of Humphrey, the constable of Jerusalem, the Grand Master of the Templars and Hospitallers and many Hospitaller and Templar knights. Raymond of Tripoli, Reynold of Sidon, and Balian of Ibelin made it back to safety. Other stories tell how Saladin beheaded each Templar one by one, and they bore their deaths silently and bravely.
The water story, portrayed in the movie "Kingdom of Heaven" is accurate, including the "Kings do not kill Kings" statement and the giving of water indicating one is safe with your enemy. Saladin beheads Reynald of Chatillon/Kerak.
Saladin moves north and takes Acre, Beruit and Sidon easily, then Nazareth, Caesarea, and Ascalon. Some members of the Order stayed to guard their church. Saladin was advised to destroy Acre to prevent Crusaders from taking it back, but he said the city was too beautiful. Instead, he had Egyptian Emir ed-Din Caracusch to fortify the wall as he had done at Cairo.
Saladin now has all the inland cities except Jerusalem, al-Karak, and al-Shawbak in Transjordan and a few other fortresses, as well as the major ports except Tyre, allowing clear travel between Egypt and Palestine and the blockage of incoming Euroepean ships. Jerusalem, which comfortably holds 30,000 was packed with double this population due surrounding cities seeking refuge.
A delegation of citizens from Jerusalem went to Saladin, asking for a peaceful solution. An eclipse of the sun that say was read as a bad omen. Saladin made a generous offer which the delegates turned down. Another example of Saladin's honour comes in a story of Ibelin, who asks from Tyre to pass to Jerusalem in order to take his wife, Anna Comnena, away safely. Saladin grants his passge on the condition he bears no arms and returns the following day. Ibelin was pressured to remain and ends up being the leader in the defense against Saladin when Jerusalem is taken back. Ibelin sends his apologies for breaking his word and prepares Jerusalem for attack, Finding only two knights who survived Hittin, he knights and hires every man over the age of eighteen.
1187 Sep 18 or 21 - Saladin arrives outside the walls of Jerusalem. The
walls give way after two days of attack by Saladin who had 'Greek fire' aka
After negotiations, the Latins are allowed to leave the city safely after paying a ransom. The city gates were closed for control while Latins packed and sold their belongings to the Moslems and Christinas alike. Those with money left, while the poor were to be enslaved despite Ibelin's offer to pay 30,000 dinars for all the poor. Saladin eventually releases 1200, and declares the older people did not have to pay.

Once Richard sends a servant to ask for some chickens to feed their starving falcons, promising when the falcons were stronger, they would become a gift for Saladin.

1192 - Richard is captured:
Richard returns home, bad weather (or sea sickness) stops him at Corfu where the Byzantine Emperor Isaac Angelus is still angry about Cyprus. Richard disguised as a Knight Templar, sailed from Corfu with four attendants in a pirate ship, which wrecked near Aquileia, forcing Richard and his party into a dangerous land route through central Europe, over the Alps and into Germany. Richard is captured by Leopold V of Austria on his way to the territory of Henry of Saxony, his brother-in-law, Richard was captured shortly before Christmas 1192 only a few miles from the Moravian border, near Vienna, accused of the death of Conrad of Montferrat. Richard himself was dressed like a kitchen hand, but was identified because he was wearing a magnificent and costly ring no menial worker could afford. (Another tale claimed he was identified by his insistence on eating roast chicken, a great delicacy reserved for nobility.) Leopold reluctantly hands Richard over to Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor. His mother, Eleanor of Aquitaine, worked tirelessly to raise the exorbitant ransom of 150,000 marks demanded by the German emperor, which was twice the annual income for the English Crown, while John Lackland and King Philip offered the Emperor 80,000 marks to hold Richard until Michalemas 1194, but the offer was refused.

When the late Charles B. Fisk, a Harvard-educated physicist-turned-organ-maker, installed the first organ in Memorial Church at his alma mater, he wanted it situated in back of the congregation. For various reasons, his wish was not granted and the organ was installed in the front of the church in 1967.
When C.B. Fisk Inc. of Glouceseter built an updated organ for the Harvard church, however, Opus 139 was placed in the back of the building when it was installed last year, and the late Fisk's wish finally was granted.
Now this story, and the legacy of the Gloucester organ-making shop, is the subject of the documentary, "To Hear the Music," by Dennis Lanson. The film will be screened in Rockport at the Shalin Liu Performance Center on Thursday.
The business card for the film describes it as a documentary "about making a quality product in an age of ersatz."
"To Hear the Music" is the story of the life so far of the grand Opus 139, beginning with the organ's conception and continuing to its inaugural concert on Easter 2102 at Harvard's Memorial Church.
Fisk, who died in 1983, apprenticed with Walter Holtkamp Sr., who was at the time the most avant garde of American organ builders. Fisk went on to become a partner and later sole owner of the Andover Organ Company in Andover. And in 1961 he established C. B. Fisk near his childhood summer home on Cape Ann.
"The first organ (for Harvard Memorial Church) was very important to him, and the second one was important to us as a company to revisit this venue," said Greg Bover, project manager and C.B. Fisk's current vice president of operations.
More than 40,000 hours of labor went into the creation of Opus 139.
Over the years, the Gloucester organ-building company has been featured on television programs such as "Charles Kuralt" and "Chronicle," as well as being filmed on an informal level. "To Hear the Music" is the first professional high-quality film about the unique shop and its founder.

A-Pours a rich clear amber with beige head, average retention.
S-Pleasant toasted malt, faint hops.
T-Rich malt flavor, bitter hops in the finish, fruit esters, residual sweetness.
M-Even balance, moderate carbonation, nice aftertaste, toasted malt flavor lingers, medium-bodied and smooth.
O-Good offering that is good enough to please someone that appreciates good beer, and familiar enough (from a macrobrewer) to get a macro drinker to try it. Seems sessionable at first but it will sneak up on you fast. Simple and unpretentious.

Millésime pours a deep copper colour with ample head that dissipates quite quickly, liberating a swath of toasted malt and hop smells that whet the appetite. There are also notes of sour cherry that make this a very interesting beer leading up to the first sip.
The taste does not disappoint, with the toasted malt leading the assault. It makes for a relatively sweet up front taste which is just barely balanced by the hops, although I wouldn't categorize this as bitter by any means.
The mouthfeel is just as good. Its a slick beer with just the right amount of carbonation and a medium dry finish. Overall, I'd definitely buy this again - if only it were available in my region. I picked this one up from a Monoprix in Paris, so if you're there on vacation make sure to drop into one. Their selection is pretty good for a department store.

We pour a brew of honey orange. It holds a one finger head of creamy beige bubbles that recedes rather quickly. It leaves a solid sheet of lacing around the glass as it goes. Carbonation is active, and no sediment or haze is noted. The nose really takes you by surprise, but not necessarily in a good way. It is buttery and malty, with a decent peppery alcohol bite. Coppery metallics are big, and there is a strong salty, sweaty quality to it. The later is contributable to a Belgian yeastiness. There are synthetic fruit notes, of strawberry and light cherries. The taste takes the aroma to the next level. As we sip, toasty malts, lemony tannins, and white sugars hit first. There is a definite saltiness, as in the nose, and spice, with black pepper and a tingly clove. Through the middle there are light esters, with equally calm banana flavoring. The malts calm down quiet a bit, but retain a caramel darkness and sweetness, and a slight toast. The finish shows a revival of the peppery booze, and more of that clovey goodness. The yeast comes through for the first time, adding a hollow, cave-like musk and moss. The aftertaste breathes mildly, with the sweeter qualities of the malts, fermented red apples, and a quick bite of metallics. The body is medium and the carbonation is lighter, considering how high it appeared. The lips are left sticky, and a certain sugary, syrupy quality exists with each sip. There is a light coating and creaminess on the slurp, but little froth or smack. The abv is appropriate, and the beer drinks easily.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this brew was the solid and balanced flavoring, which was much more complex than expected. It starts sweeter, with solid malts and spice, but morphs into this complex, musty surprise that really fits the style well. At first, the nose was overdone, with crazy metallics, but it really calmed down with warmth, and became yet another pleasant component of this beer in the end.

Decided to pick this up at Monoprix seeing as how it is a new offering for 2011.
Pours a copper-amber colour with about 1 finger of quicklly dissipating head. Minimal, but present lacing.
This is a slightly malty beer, much different from the other "biere de garde", 3 Monts which I have tasted.
I rather lively mouth feel with rather rather malty taste, countered by some hops turns out to be a great choice as far as French beers go. Certainly the best I have tasted to date from Kronenbourg. While not outstanding, this is certainly worth a try when in France. Definitely session-able.

UN Security Council chides North KoreaUNITED NATIONS - A week after North Korea's rocket launch, the U.N. Security Council on Monday condemned the action, demanded an end to missile tests and said it will expand sanctions against the reclusive communist nation. The council's statement, agreed on by all 15 members and read at a formal meeting of the United Nations' most powerful body, said the launch violated a council resolution adopted after the North Koreans conducted a nuclear test explosion in 2006 that banned any missile tests by the country. The statement was a weaker response than a U.N. resolution, which was sought by Japan and the United States but was opposed by China and Russia. U.S. Ambassador Susan Rice insisted the statement is legally binding, just like a resolution, but other diplomats and officials disagreed. Elderly French man opens fire on three people PARIS - A 65-year-old man who opened fire Monday on three people apparently at random, killing two, has surrendered, a police official said. The man, who had holed up in a house in the town of Douchy-les-Mines after the shootings, surrendered calmly, witnesses said. The three victims were walking on a street when the man opened fire, the official said. Two of the victims were killed, said the official, who was speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with French police regulations. The condition of the third victim was not immediately clear. Obama eases restrictions on travel to Cuba WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama is allowing Americans to make unlimited trips and money transfers to family in Cuba and easing other restrictions Monday to usher in a new era of openness toward the island nation ruled by communists for 50 years. The White House made the formal announcement during presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs' daily briefing with reporters - in both English and Spanish. 'The president would like to see greater freedom for the Cuban people. There are actions that he can and has taken today to open up the flow of information to provide some important steps to help that,' Gibbs said.

We put all this together because we felt this is an extremely strong soccer city, and we're not going to do anything to put ourselves behind. But the fans have to be there with us." Hartman is "open to adding partners or selling the franchise outright as long as it aides his charitable mission." He said that he has "been contacted by numerous parties, describing one as serious." The Scorpions are averaging 7,139 fans in NASL matches in their first season at Toyota Field, which "has a current capacity of 8,000 and can be expanded to more than 18,000" (SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, 8/2).

I had the opportunity to get a new hair color from Matrix Professional. They're a brand part of the L'Oreal group that specializes in hair care and color. I know this is an art and wip blog, but please excuse my randomness for the meantime. :D
Some wip for Light Grey Art Lab's Animystics show.
I think the funnest part is the creation of our spirit animal. We're tasked to provide a backstory and a history of our animal. I chose a wolf although I did a little twist and added a fictitious folklore backstory to it. I'll talk about it when the proper time comes. For the meantime, wips behold!

Hey guys, non-art post but I just want to share that there is an absolutely wonderful thing going on in SM Aura (at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig) right now. It's Magnum Manila! (In other countries, it's called the "Magnum Pleasure Store" ~wink~) It's a Magnum ice cream pop-up store where you get to design your own Magnum. Imagine a froyo/ice cream store except you're concocting your own Magnum. Would you like some cheese and chili flakes with your Magnum? Pshhhyeah, you bet!
They're opening to the public on April 8 and it will be there for ONLY 12 MONTHS. You only have a year!! Yes, I am pressuring you to go! Apart from desserts, they also serve meals. This is what we had earlier:
Salmon with mashed potato.
Marj and I were invited to the event. I took photos mostly of just the food. But I hope this is enough to encourage you to go and Instragram the hell out of those photogenic-looking dishes and desserts (You know you want to!). And of course, eat them.
Rainbow cake and white chocolate Magnum. THE CAKE IS THE BEST.
This one is Magnum with freshly baked cookie dough on a pan. The cookie tastes so GOOD! For some reason, the Magnum here tastes tons better than the grocery packs (which are already great as they are!). Maybe because the chocolate sauce is freshly dipped. Or maybe it's because you are partaking in the pleasure of creating a Magnum bar for yourself. Yum!
The wonderful Tasha is my seatmate. I'm a huge fan of her illustrations!! She's dreampod on Tumblr! Follow, follow!
Each bar you create is only P100 (that's roughly $2.20). It's really affordable. On April 8, the first 500 people in line can get to make their own Magnum ice cream bar for free!
(OK back to regular programming. Will post art stuff soon! :D)
It's springtime! Been getting Snapchats from friends in NY that the weather there is great and they're not wearing tons of layers anymore. Ahhh so jealous! My only experience of spring was in Japan 4 years ago. It's a magical season. I'm in a tropical country where it's summer 365 days a year. When we were growing up, our textbooks say "we have 2 seasons: wet and dry" Lol! Is this overcompensation or 'fo realz?
It's officially summer here. Classes are ending (our summer vacation is from late March to early June) which means, workshops start soon! I'm excited and nervous and I guess a little lonely cause I'm holding classes in a vacant location (the studio I used before had people residing in it. This one is completely deserted). /Hinting for friends to visit

Here's something I worked on a few days ago. This piece is more of a learning process for me. Each section is trial and error and I had to redraw and repaint on some parts a couple of times while I was progressing—so many awkward parts and they still look awkward. Haha… I painted on a semi hot press paper so some things that I normally do on cold press can't be done properly here but that's okay. A little challenge is good! Not sure if it's done or if I already overdid some parts to its disadvantage but I want to move on to the next.

I was going through my phone photos and I've decided to make a culminating post of whatever happened in the past month or so. I haven't been doing this at all anymore and I sort of regret not doing it while I was in New York. But then again I had too little time to write there. It was easy to just upload everything on Instagram. Microblogging is making me lazy! Anyway, here's March 2014. I'll make it a habit to post more of these in the future. Sometimes it's nice to have a record to remind yourself that your month isn't as uneventful as it seems.
My cousin gave me an Instax notebook sleeve so I was sorting these the other day. I sometimes wonder about the longevity of these films. I hope they never fade.
A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to give our pets a stroll. Chuchu (my classmate since kindergarden) and I brought our rabbits and Irene brought her cat. This is my sister and my rabbit at Fully Booked. Until now we're still not sure if you're allowed to bring pets inside.
Me + friends. 100% of the time, people stop and stare and kids ask to pat. Rabbits are fun to walk! You don't walk them, they walk you. I've done this a couple of times in the past 2 years. If you have a bunny who likes walking with a harness and you want to join me when we go out, just message me!
Irene and Echo (Bombay Cat).
This is my workspace at around 7am.
My windows face east and my curtains can't be drawn to close. In the morning I'm forced to wake up at sunrise. On the day I posted this, Time posted this article stating that Makati and Pasig (where I live!) in Manila rank the #1 selfie-est cities in the world. 'Fo shame, Valerie!
A friend passed by and got me Ben & Jerry's. Thank you! I love Cookie Dough and the slightly powdery Peanut Butter.
It was my mom's birthday 2 weeks ago. It's the 1st time I bought a cake for her (thanks Irene for recommending!). We're not really close so I rarely give her anything and I guess some people would find that weird or that I'm such an ungrateful daughter. I'm in one of those Chinese families where nobody says I love you or nobody hugs each other. it's such an awkward thing to do. Recently I came across an article about it. I'm not alone.
Oh the wonders of dark lipstick! Erik's girlfriend gave me Vincent Longo makeup. The purple lipstick is my FAVORITE. Inner vixen unleashed! Everytime I wear this lipstick in NY, a guy calls out to me to tell me I'm pretty. It's magic. I think every girl should get at least 1 dark shade in their lipstick collection.
Watched Wicked in Manila. I'm not a fan of theatre at all. I had zero knowledge of the plot. Surprisingly the plot is far more complex than what I have anticipated, and of course the entire performance was exemplary. Great show! I'm actually glad that I was coerced to watch this.
When I was away from Manila, a dozen of ramen restaurants started opening back home. Eating ramen is often a disappointing experience especially if you've lived in Japan for a substantial amount of time (well just a month but I was in Fukuoka, which is the ramen hotspot of the country, and we had ramen twice a week), and of course the price is no joke. And you know what they say, if you can't finish it, it's not good enough. So a week before I came back to Manila from NY, I had Ippudo Ramen, a benchmark name for a lot of ramen lovers. Now I'm back, my friends took me to Ramen Nagi. Hands down, this is the best that I've tasted in Manila.
Aleyn gave me this tiny table last year. It has lucky characters inscribed on it. I've been on a bad luck streak these past few weeks, I felt that this needs to be somewhere proper. I was able to rearrange my shelf just recently and there it is!
I'm moving my work area to a separate studio on the last quarter of the year. It's difficult to work and sleep in the same room. I've been stretching out this whole setup for the longest time just because it saves money. Despite the inconvenience (omg commuting!), I guess it's about time I move. Then again this has always been an issue for me because I always have long term travel plans and I might end up not using the space for months.
Coral lippie for summer! I've been getting into lipsticks lately. I started buying lipsticks just last year. I never cared much about how I looked until now. Maybe I'm getting old.
This was at the Type Kita exhibit and art fair. It's amazing that there are so many great typography artists here. I bought a small sticker pack from Abbey (check her stuff out!). I went there together with Aleyn and Anjo. Our birthdays are nearing, which means we have something art-related planned for the month of May. I'm excited!
Went into a Korean cafe called Cafe de Seoul along Taft and waited for my sister to finish school. I passed by my suppliers earlier today. Ah prices of everything increased by 8%. Inflation is painful! I have a weird relationship with cafes. Apart from overpriced drinks, my stay in cafes are always about waiting in contemplative misery. I love it and hate it at the same time.
My sister tried out our grandfather's Nikomat and got the photos earlier. Half of the batch turned out severely fried like these. We don't really know the cause of it (we probably need to have the camera checked because it hasn't been used for 20 years or so). That's it for now. You can follow my Instagram for every-other-day updates.
We watched as you poured water to the brim… And we were all right about it.
I was going through my files and I noticed that I never got to upload this properly (just an instagram shot and a poster). This is an old painting. It was supposed to be included in an exhibit in 2012 but after the initial layers, the piece felt lousy and weak. So I abandoned it. I was sorting through my uncompleted works in 2013 and I saw this one and continued on where I left off. Sometimes, I think it takes a while before you can properly approach a piece. I personally feel that my current skill can't execute what I have in mind and it takes a year to do it properly.
I don't really know what this painting is about. Maybe it's about children and how much they take in without saying anything.

I was thinking of putting better use to my tumblr so I changed the layout yesterday to get me in a posting appetite. I've been writing disheveled feelings in my sketchbook like "how long does it take to forget?" and I respond with, you can never forget; you can't ever forget. I realized that there are just some things that will haunt you for the rest of your life.

RI and Connecticut weren't part of our itinerary. We were at Boston and on the way back to New Jersey my uncle decided to take a detour. It's roughly an hour or two away and it would be a waste to pass the opportunity to see these places. So far I've been to DC, Chicago and my home bases, NY and NJ. It would be nice to expand my state vocabulary.
If you're wondering, these photos don't necessarily describe Rhode Island. The houses and everyday living look absolutely different. Rhode Island is actually very nautical and colorful! Sadly I wasn't able to take photos in the car. I was somehow exhausted from Boston. I felt pretty shameless for sleeping along the way to RI. If you have seen Wes Anderson's Moonrise Kingdom, it briefly sums up the aesthetic of Rhode Island and Connecticut. If I were to go back to the US, I'd definitely go back and explore more.
The Breakers was the first thing that came across my aunt and uncle's minds when we decided to pass by Rhode Island. Most of the images below are from the mansion.
I think these houses are from Boston. Just passed by it on the way to the next state.
At the Vanderbilt Mansion. We only had 3 hours to spare and they felt this was an essential site to go through.
Normally you're not allowed to take photos inside but it's the Christmas season so the staff allowed visitors to take photos of the trees—just the trees! If you're caught taking photos of anything else, you'll be reprimanded. I swear, those guys, they breathe down your necks!
This is just the backyard. Even the sea is part of the backyard! The mansion is insane. I've never seen anything like it in real life. You can check the website to see what I'm talking about.
Me + wind. It was really chilly that day and you pretty much don't have a choice, just brave it up. Even if you wear something thick, your head and hands get all the beating.
At Mystic Seaport Connecticut. At sunset.
Afterwards we ate good food from a nearby fancy restaurant. Connecticut is lovely (at least on the coastal side, since this is the only part I've seen). There's something really nostalgic about it. Or maybe this is what I'm feeling because I only see this in the movies.

- How A Dog Tells You He Will Bite You Review by Stevie
- This talk starts out with video and a short discussion about her Training Wheels community outreach program. The full video on Training Wheels is only available from Sue's Great Dog Productions, or as part of the Fundamentals for Shelter & Rescue 8 disc set sold here. It is a really interesting concept! The substance of the lecture on this DVD is how to identify all the little cues a dog gives you (before actually growling or snarling) that he is a potential bite risk. This one is almost all video footage, and it's really fascinating and diverse, and delivers everything that's outlined at the beginning of the talk. (Posted on 4/30/13)
