I thought I would wait...but I couldn't. I found that I had a missing role in my bag from the shoot with Josh using the Holga camera. So off and away I went to the lab...and wah-lah... a few turned out! Of course, the coolest one that came out was the multiple exposure shot of Josh while he was talking on the phone. The film marks are real..so there was no toying and layering in photoshop.

i have been thinking about this world of blogging and it's meaning, it's usefulness and it's authenticity to the realness and truthfulness of the individual. it used to be that a diary (or journal) was written in privacy, in secrecy. no one got to it with the exception of the person who wrote it. it was meant for recording the feelings and emotions of the person that day, so that years later, one could recount the past. it was not held for public viewing. writing such daily thoughts would help clarify my ideas of who i was, where i wanted to go in life, my boyhood fantasies and love and hate interests. it was sort of self edification, a way of cleansing and purifying one's self without having to go to confession. if i write it down, it would keep me arms away from hell's gate, but i'd never be pushed inside, cause i confessed in the diary. read it and weep. when the internet first made it's way to my bedroom, i started writing my 'diary' in old html fashion. it was not called a 'blog'. i wrote about my pain, my struggles, my desire, the loss of my brother, and the n my father in those first few years. it was not meant for public viewing, and i never envisioned a real audience in front of those words. never. i have been thinking greatly about the power of the blog nowadays, but feel that in some ways, the authenticity of my writing has been somewhat commercialized and bastardized by my idea of selling myself, because after all, blogs now have audiences. i will say with all truthfulness that getting an audience gives me a high, but then i somehow want to keep all the really bad feelings inside. so i was thinking today that i should buy a notebook (the paper kind) to document my inner thought of where i want to go and what i want to achieve in life. i never used to think of the future, always living for the moment, after all, this is the way of the Buddha....

Yesterday I put in my contact and I felt a strange sting in my left eyes....damn! I thought I scratched my cornea. Anyway, I adjusted the lens..peered through and it felt okay..or erm...so so. A few hours passed and a friend called me for lunch. My left eye was not feeling too good so I decided to remove it before heading to meet him. I asked my friend what it looked like and he said it wasn't too bad. I put some of my eye drops to try to remedy them, but alas, my eyes were starting water more and my eyes continued getting redder (is there such a word?). As it turns out, I have red eye, an infection. I'm so bummed out by this cause I have my book launch/signing in Macau tomorrow. I had to find someone to head over to Macau to deliver the banners and signage. Meanwhile, I've been taking medicine and dropping stuff into my sore eyes to combat the bacteria. It's still blurry when I look out through my left eye....but it will have to do. So it's back to my glasses for tomorrow and no drinking alcohol. Still, I should be fine (so long as there isn't too much smoke at Bex....). But before my day went by, I went out and bought antiseptic hand wash. Our bodies can be so fragile and sensitive....

I just got back from a full day in macau meeting up with the event coordinator of Rosh events who is helping me with book launch and signing there. hot and sunny, walking along the narrow streets and seeing the architecture of both old and new was fascinating. i couldn't help but feel that some of the treasures of macau will be torn and destroyed by new development. i really have to go there and explore it more before it really disappears. meanwhile the city is teaming with people coming from china and hong kong in light of the gambling (a very chinese thing...gambing, that is: it's in our blood). although i don't gamble much, i do feel tempted to hit one of the tables and see what happens... but i digress, i find macau's cultural and artistic rooting to be much more intact than that of hong kong; i'ts cultural center is stunning to look at both in the day and at night. the exhibitions and shows by far better than hong kong. what i can see happening is that macau will soon become a destination city, one that offers a full plate of entertainment for all of asia. all of the big name fashion brands are there absorb any gambler's winnings back into macau's pocketbooks...
