I’m personally interested in this kind of things because every time we go to the national museum, I invariably get comments on how much I resemble the women in the old Filipino paintings. Turn-of-the-century Manila-ish, they said, especially with the right get-up. I have one of those homely <i>Yndio</i> faces, I guess.http://www.annalim.com/post/48707361http://www.annalim.com/post/48707361Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:55:00 +0800<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ynR0nFQih2Y"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ynR0nFQih2Y" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><i>(YT link via <a href="http://oo-mimi-oo.livejournal.com/">Imee</a>.)</i><br/><br/> Ridiculously super hard version of Super Mario Bros.

Just when I buried myself in the comfort of pragmaticism, I find my <a href="http://www.freewillastrology.com/horoscope/scorpio.html">horoscope</a> for week of September 4, 2008 making a mockery of it: </p> <blockquote>“The reality of love is mutilated when it is removed from all its unreality.” So said the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard in his book <i>The Poetics of Reverie</i>. He meant that realism alone is not enough for human beings to live on, especially in our most intimate relationships. We need fantasy to augment the merely factual perspective. We require poetic truths to keep the rational approach honest. Without the play of the imagination, in fact, our understanding of the world is impoverished and distorted. In this spirit, Scorpio, I invite you to be extra daydreamy and imaginative about love in the coming days. Feed your soul and the souls of those you love with experiences that arouse mystery and wonder. (P.S. Nietzsche said: “We have art in order not to perish of truth.”) </blockquote>http://www.annalim.com/post/48513418http://www.annalim.com/post/48513418Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:32:00 +0800<img src="http://media.tumblr.com/nMVRsre2Bdf1mz02sLJZguKW_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>To see other photos taken at the Singapore Botanical Gardens, please proceed to <a href="http://coathangerwings.multiply.com/photos/album/5">this album</a>. Everything looks better in their original sizes. The collection is a bit uninspired, admittedly. I was more preoccupied by the act of taking pictures of flowers than the flowers themselves.
