not your ordinary graffitis

Art is such an exciting process. The amount of time and effort put in to it is just as magical as the final product.

zombie lovin'

Pardon my typos if I do have any. It's 10:56pm and we just came from a drunking and tag-you're-it session at the public playground. Our chlidish ways resurface at night. While my head is still fogged up and constantly singing Rebecca Black's Fridday, I would like to introduce the apple of my eye.

He makes other zombies turn into dust and he'll eat it too. He's Rick Genest and famously called Zombie Boy, because of his body literally inked with anatomical parts, is the muse of Mugler's Fall Campaign. Genest wears a tux (and he wears it well) like he did in Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” video. I'm so glad someone is using him a muse because he sure knows how to inspire the industry.

i miss home

I really do.

This is probably it. This is the moment when the mother eagle pushes her little baby eagles off the nest and let them fend for themselves (well, more like flapping until they finally gain momentum). I'm flying but I have yet to soar really high.

Reasons why I miss home:
-home cooked dinners. Nothing beats good old Filipino foods. Lately, I've never had this much microwaveable food but I'm glad my flatmates and I still do home cooked dinners when we can.
-sharing my bed with my mom. I have this king size bed for myself and I keep filling up one side with things just so it can take up some space.
-conversations at the table or just the plain silence whenever we have our meals make me miss home
-making pasta/salads with my mom. We work in silence but we work it with love.
-corny jokes from my siblings. It may be corny but at least we share some laughs.
-my witty niece. I hope she'll be just as witty when I come back.
-my valuable possessions: CDs, albums, posters, books. I just hope moths won't take over them when I come back.
-our garden. It may be a bit crowded with all those orchids around but the sweet smell of natural perfume makes my day.
-siomai, tempura, fried egg, pancit canton, lumpia (gosh, my mouth is watering). Well, you know what I mean.
-friends. Old or new. I miss you guys.
-the heat. The sun comes out and shines but it doesn't shine like it shines back home.

I could go on and on with the most simple and mundane stuffs that I can probably miss but my back is currently aching (damn you cold!).

Scotland isn't that bad really. I've only been here a month. I have yet to really embrace everything it has to offer.

talking to the theatre

Oh where to begin.

I would love to send sweet kisses to the admins of Experimental Theatre for making me part of this blog. My mind is percolating with thoughts and I would love to write them down here. But first, an appropriate introduction is to be done.

Hi I'm Ching. And the only thing you need to know about me is that I love music and photography. Madz, one of the admins here, has been the most wonderful witness to my obsession of music. Oh those times when we used to belt our lungs out to My Chemical Romance at the back of the bus. The times when we sang with utmost emotions on our faces at the canteen and then air guitar like crazy. There's just something universal about music. It's heroine to my ears.

As for photography, I got no fancy SLR yet, but I do make the most out of my digital camera for now. Yep, that's me in the photo. I gave permission to the wind to play with my hair. I mostly dive on fashion photography and any random stuff I find interesting. I have my own personal blog, The Audacity Effect.

I am currently writing from Scotland but I miss the Philippines very much. I mean come on, there's no place like home. But I'm quite happy that I'm doing things on my own now. There's nothing like reality slapping me on the face.

I guess with an open mind, music on my ears and a camera on one hand, I can conquer anything. Hello lovelies!
