Thought it would be cool to do a pic journal seeing that I already have a digicam I bring along everyday. More than just pictures, they can tell people about what I see... what my eyes capture.

The weekend that was... I honestly don't even want to talk about it anymore. It's getting to be too redundant. Mutiny, coup, rebellion... whatever you call it, I honestly cared less. I did however appreciate and congratulate the efforts the initiators of that "military rally" made. Very confident, bold and daring.

Spent the weekend with my honey (Jagard) and caught the Jolie flick. It wasn't as bad as how some of my co-workers made it seem. I actually dug the film. I didn't care much for fabulous dialogue or whatnot, all I cared about was the fact that Lara Croft kicked ass. Wish she wore better boots though. Her boots were quite ... er... butch. Ha ha ha.

Just surfed a favorite site of mine... (sorry, I'm a huge fan of Regine Velasquez). I saw this video for the first time... the girl can "fly"... check it out here. I think belting high notes while on a harness, "floating" uhm... almost 30 feet above the audience is a feat yet to be matched. One of her signature pieces is an Aerosmith hit. She kicks ass with this rendition of "I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing". Wish I had her lungs. Damn girl... you make us proud.

God... I hope my honey doesn't leave me... hehehehehehe

from "Les Chansons des Roses"

Dirait-on by Ranier Maria Rilke (French version)

Abandon entouré d'abandon,
tendresse touchant aux tendresses...
C'est ton intérieur qui sans cesse
se caresse, dirait-on;

se caresse en soi-même,
par son propre reflet éclairé.
Ainsi tu inventes le thème
du Narcisse exaucé.

The Songs of Roses
So They Say

Abandonment surrounded by abandonment,
tenderness touching with tenderness...
It is your interior which unceasingly cherishes
itself, so they say;

cherishes itself in oneself,
by its own enlightened reflection.
Thus you invent the theme
of the fulfilled Narcissus.

Sometimes people tend to find out that how they deal with their own selves is evident of how they deal with others.

A good example is moi. I feel as though I'm a bit of a perfectionist. I always end up giving myself a tough time when I don't achieve what I want to achieve. I'm very hard on myself when I feel like I can't deliver something I've set my goals on.

This kind of pressure on me has somehow been exhibited on the expectations I have of people around me. Maybe not in the exact same way but more of I expect people to be their best. This is one thing I have yet to get rid of.

Earlier today I heard on the radio that a writing competition was opened for budding writers of novels, shorts stories, etc. I immediately thought of Jagard. He comes to mind simple because I think and feel that his writing is most unusual to me. I have constantly noted how much of a writer he is and always remind myself that he is one talented guy. After informing him of the competition, I was initially excited that he showed some form of curiousity about how to join the contest. After sending him a message containing info of what I got from the radio commercial, he sent back a message that really got me to sigh. (as he expected). He expressed concerns of not being able to be at par with the other particpants and all that stuff. Initially, I was aback by that statement, thinking "why would that be his initial frame of mind". It never made me understand why there are people who just end up thinking bad thoughts about probable endeavours.

Lucky for me, I just underwent training that helped me understand where Jagard was coming from. When I found the time to drop him a line, I immediately took the chance. What I got from the conversation was that his main concern is not to perform well and not liking the whole experience. He's also saying something about his preference of knowing that a number of people find his way of writing very impressive rather than knowing that he would not fair well in a competition.

I guess it was also hard for me to understand that because I'm a person who's gone through so many competitions since I was young. Elementary, High School, College and even now at work. Academic, Non Academic, name it and i've probably joined it once. That's most of the reason why I'm not seeing Jagard's point of view. I reason I've participated in so many competitions is because of my motivation to succeed all the time and just beat the hell out of the others. Probably because of I was initially insecure about my sexuality and I tried to prove my worth through these competitions. Winning equalled acceptance.

I'm blabbing. I probably need to shut up now. Gotta call Chicago!

My blog has not been working the last few weeks and I'm getting pissed. Too many things have happened I wish I wrote about. Sadly, I can't share it with you. Sucks when things are not working out. Hating this!
