Everything seems to be too slow now. This is my first post for 2009. I used to blog every two days during those prolific moments. When words came so easy and writing provided my much needed therapy. No longer now.
I am overwhelmed by events and things, maybe caught between catching the images alive and ruminating. Maybe the best time to write is when you have no other special reason but to write. This, I see, is the condition now.
Rediscovering Baguio. If creativity is doing something you haven’t done before, then that’s my definition of Baguio after that trip last week. It made me do something I’ve done for the first time. It made me become wild and different, for a change and for the name of fun and faithfulness to friends. It made me happy.
[Photo album "Of fun, friends, and Baguio" can be accessed thru my Multiply account, if it's kind enough to show you the images.]
Images. I’ve seen the many images of Baguio City through the lens of my N70 phone. The highly urbanized city caught from the open window of our room at Pines View Hotel. The line of wine in a convenience store that proves night life is truly alive in this summer capital of the country. The lights that reflect on the mirror of Latino Bar in Nevada Square. The fertility statues that greet guests in Tam-Awan Village. The artists working on portrait sketch in 10-15 minutes in the same artist village where people flock to see art works and cultural artifacts.
[See these images alive on my FaceBook site.]
These maybe images of Baguio I’ve seen for the first time that tell me stories, give me memories, and leave me with reasons enough to go back home again and rediscover home anew.
