‎Hold on to patience, just watch for the sign... Everything in its time.


This might creep someone out, but I'll post it anyway. While taking a trip down memory lane with my cousins years ago, being the youngest of the bunch, they remember more about my early childhood. I guess it's normal for kids around 4 years old to believe in imaginary friends, I was surprised they still remember the names I gave mine. And then I came across something I reblogged months ago and tried to look for a deeper meaning behind: Foighne.


foighne-  patience
Usage    bíodh foighne agat = have patience

This is one good example of Serendipity in my life. "Serendipity means a "happy accident" or "pleasant surprise"; specifically, the accident of finding something good or useful without looking for it." (Wikipedia) I believe there is a greater reason I have found about this today, that maybe I have always needed God in my life.

Just this morning, my sister shared me this very inspirational song, "Everything in its Time" by Corrine May -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=-BLCeBTlTEI 

Maybe the world conspires to tell me that I should trust my God of patience for He will redirect me to the path that I would glorify Him well, may it be work-related, love, family, friendship and life itself. Everything in its time. :)

The Gap

Ira Glass on Storytelling from David Shiyang Liu on Vimeo . "All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.  It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions." -Ira Glass What drove me to post this inspiring video is the fact that one work of mine has been finally put up in EDSA. It's like a milestone to be celebrated, but it falls under the kind of work that you're not really very proud to show... not because it's that bad, it's just trying to be good. I am not going to name-drop that certain brand, and I have to say that the artist does not always have the call on how can it be done solely, there are a lot more people involved in the creative process.  This is just the beginning and so I hope and pray that in the near future, I'll get past the stage where I just work for the sake of getting the job done but because it was...

Save Baguio Pine Trees

I have been to Baguio City, twice in my life. The first trip was ten years ago when I was 12. And just recently, last February for the Panagbenga Festival. And because of its cold weather and abundance of strawberries, peanut brittle and choco flakes, not to mention wearing 'Winter Wardrobe' (knitted sweaters, berets, etc.) and most importantly, the picturesque mountain views with towering pine trees, I have come to love the place. So it is only right that I dedicate an artwork for the City of Pines, the summer capital of the Philippines. I may not be an environmentalist holding a picket along with the locals, but this I guess is the best I can do as an artist - to inspire people that the beautiful riches of our country is in our natural resources, we must take good care of it, as stewards of God's creation. I thank you. :)
