Knowledge is Power!
the tug of war
Don't get me wrong. I love the sun and the beach and the fact that I get a great tan after. The fact that I go to Boracay almost thrice a year proves that I love the sunny weather and the unlimited sun bathing opportunities I get. But if I do not see an ocean, or lake, or even simple man made body of water, I find the sun intolerable. It's heat that pains my skin, makes everything humid and sticky and gross causes me to hide in my room with the comforts of the AC. I've been like this since I was my baby, my mother said. Sol and I have a love-hate relationship.
Love and hate. I seem to have so much of that these days - and the airport police was no exception. Upon undergoing x-ray of my baggages, they placed my stuff on top of the table. Here it comes, I thought. They asked what's in it, and I answered pinukurat (spicy vinegar). How many are there was the next question, I answered five. We have to open it, they said. I paused to think if that was a question or a statement and how am I going to get out of that situation because once they open it, I am positive that it would not be allowed. So I asked a universally sticky question, why. The woman behind the counter looked at me irritably and said because it's part of the policy. And I asked why again. Because it is a corrosive, she replied. I argued that I was able to bring the same stuff last January. She said that they have rolled out the policy that such stuff should be placed on styrofoam containers. We had this exchange back and forth until I pulled out my phone. I still have the ace diamond, and this one will never fail. I started dialing and talked to someone while I stared intently at the woman.
I don't want her to get in trouble, I just want alternative solutions. So let me talk to the ace of this place. Having spoken to my uncle who is the head of the MIAA they had to unpack the vinegar and repack it on their own which would be acceptable to their standards. I felt a slight sense of shame for making them look like idiots. Suddenly I don't hate them. I just wish they had more brains.

Artistic Vision
Posted by Stacy Esch on November 6, 2023 at 8:15pm 10 Comments 0 Likes
Is an artist's "vision" primarily a product of experience or imagination? I don't want to pursue the simple answer that it's both. Is it primarily one or the other, of if it's just plain old both, how do they interact to create an imaginary world?
Is it true that some people have more artistic vision than others, or is this kind of seeing equally available to all?
Trying to find treatment.

In the beginning of August 2008 I was doing great. I went to the gym 3 times a week for 3 hours each time. I had lost weight and had a nice tone coming. I was nicely tanned with some help of the tanning beds. I rode my motorcycle back and forth to work and to the gym. In the middle of August a leg press came down on top of my head while i was trying to get it reset to the proper location so I would be able to use the equipment. I got very dizzy and had to go home, that was the end of my…
