Neko

She shoots him down

she wakes up with the sun beaming to her eye
a heat cluttered stuck to her brain
spinning her head to unmemory
brink of blindness unsustained

digging back from her yesterday
forcing to remember what words were said
still nothing - as far as she can see
from the ten thousand scenes that twisted

a sudden spring of image clicked to her
from going back and forth and rewind
a shadow that made her laugh but not smile
is this the one?

she didn’t care where he’s been
and don’t care what he plans to do
a fool’s numbness sprouted and lingered
as they both let the day pass too

she waited for that moment that never came
and all her patience came burning
so time has sent the signal to halt
and she knows he always had it coming..

note: Oh, was i listening too much to Stone Roses or not? lol..

a poem to pay tribute to Feb 2nd.. and the camera painting entry for illo friday.. so for those who regularly see my posts at another blog, my apologies.. i just can’t log in there.. silly they require me to have a Gmail account! pff..

I’m having second thoughts on totally transferring my twisted blog to wordpress. I heard they have free hosting now (aside from blogsome, where there are some template restrictions) Well, for that I need more time and weekends aren’t enough. But for some reason it struct me to change my layout on my other blog, Outside the Box

Before..

After..

My only regret is.. i don’t have my mozilla now, and i can’t check if it works with other browsers than IE.
Would anyone out there wanna try it on your firefox and let me know?

This is where I will archive my entries for my Fave 3 groups with weekly challenges.

Although I have joined Illo Friday way back, you can view my archives for that too, at Learning to Draw

Go ahead. invade my blog posts! hehe…

HA! ok, it’s not a me-me Generator.

Well have you ever been named names that didn’t really insult you? Well, my colleagues have this habit of giving names. Well, if you would remember I also gave them names too haa… of course I am fair enough to state their opinion about me. So, here is a peek of what they used to call and presently call me.

Hardcore - NOOO! not that pron thing! tssk (intentionally misspelled- lol) .. well this only used for Callers who topped the most number of complete calls for the day. and there’s a “super” or “consistent” added as prefix if it’s consecutively more than one day. That, I wasn’t named yet tho.

Addict - this is what they will call you when your eyes start to fall (due to the sleepy dust sprinkled over you by peter pan) that you almost fly and still continue to call. And miraculously complete a call, despite of being far-out! haaa!

Babe - yay! not that movie! haaa! well, is it? hehe.. It came from one of snow white’s “companions” (you know.. snow white and..) Anyway, he’s fond of using this name. Maybe he likes that movie, huh!

Angel - nope. not that entity with wings and halo. fangs maybe. black angel? dark angel? angel of death? or angel fish? ha! mmm Something Fishy! yes, we love to go there!

Saviour - nope, not the one crucified on the cross to save us all. Just someone who saved a wee-spender who realized next pay day will not come for 2 more weeks and chooses not to ride a bike to work.

Goldilocks - yes, the character from that fairy tale and the mascot from that Bake Shop! Originally came from that IT who said he’d replace the smiley sticker *.* on my ID to one of Goldilocks’. Coz they claimed “the girl with that hair of curls” pff! Eh, would I rather be Goldilocks than Pippi Longstocking? haaa… (sorry lazy to find a link for that)

Yeah yeah, feel free to laugh. Now wait ’til I get my revenge! bwahaha!

Just kidding.

Now, I’m off to bed. Gotta save energy for the painting gig tonight.

But before I go to the World’s Longest Painting - Opening (details here),
why doncha browse over My Weekend Art (Part 2) Compilation:

Check back later for progress report.

If you are familiar or a regular visitor to my other blog, Twisted Thoughts… you’d notice some changes there. I have joined a couple of Photo Groups, aside from my regular Illo Friday entries.

This weekend, I am left alone (online that is) and even though I am advised *.* not to face the pc all day, I thought - ok, I’ll face the pc all night then! hihi

It’s Holy week in the PH (and other Catholics around the world celebrate this), and it’s “Fasting and Abstinence” for all. Meaning - avoid worldly pleasures. The hardcore Catholics literally avoid just food and erm (sex). Is that what they only consider pleasurable? pff…

Well one pleasure of mine is being infront of the pc. (includes writing, painting, editing photos, and having those intellectual conversations late into the night) So since the most important “pleasure” is sacrificed this weekend, I might as well do the others. hihi - its painting, writing and editing ok! tssk…

So going back to my weekly joined groups, latest of which is Black and White Photo Challenge.. I am still waiting for the topic for next week. I think they post it every Sunday. This week’s topic was “Architecture“. You can view my entry here: Open, Wide, Space

Next one is Photo Friday. It’s the counterpart of Illo Friday in photos. You get the point. Anyway, last week’s topic was “Organized“. View my entry here: Fruit Shop. This week’s topic is “Full“. So that’s my “first thing to do”.

Now for Illustration Friday. Last week’s topic was “Speed“. View my entry here: When Time Stops. This week’s topic is “Spotted“.

View Irvine’s abstract entry here: Hiding (IF post no. 93). Please give him a hug!

I was kinda expecting an “Easter” topic or maybe bunnies lol. well easter for me is a new beginning. So i kinda made a poem for that. Well, anyway let’s see what my illo would look like, maybe I can still use that poem.

Now, here’s an experiment. A summary of things to do and have done for my blogs:

ok now I have this idea! what if I make a chart like this every month? What do you think?

Ooeps! I forgot to contribute postys on Self Portrait Tuesday! AAhh… this is going to be a looong weekend!

1998 - Hai Shuet Yeung single-handedly painted the world’s longest painting, measuring 201.5 metres long and 1.5 metres wide. Painted on a single unbroken roll of water-colour paper between 3rd March and 6th November 1998. It depicts 5,339 carps.

Her site claimed to be the only place where you can see it in one full image, with zoom details. I think my browser needed plug ins for it to show. Maybe you could see it. Visit Yeung’s artstudio.

Nov, 2004 - About a dozen Chinese painters have began working on a 206-meter-long oil painting. The painting portrays a historical period of 206 years, depicting the entire history of the Mongolian people. Read details here.

Note that, it’s only 4.5 metres in difference. hmmm… I am not sure if they have finished it. Now for the latest…

March, 2005 - A painting which measured 2,978.4 m (nearly 3-km) was created by over 3,000 students from various educational establishments in the United Arab Emirates.

But, who’s up for a challange?

Well if you live in/near Quezon City, or willing to fly from anywhere across the globe (ehem), have the passion for painting.. (being a pro is not a requirement ok) and want to have your names immortalized together with other fellow artists..

Then hold your breaths for a second or two before jumping (or falling) off your seats, Cancel all your schedules on April 22 til May 20. (or any day in between) for we are gonna break that World Record! And make it to The Guinness!

Who Should Paint You: Gustav Klimt

Sensual and gorgeous, you would inspire an enchanting portrait.. With just enough classic appeal to be hung in any museum!

Come to think of it.. he had an interesting style..

“I have the gift of neither the spoken nor the written word, especially if I have to say something about myself or my work. Whoever wants to know something about me -as an artist, the only notable thing- ought to look carefully at my pictures and try and see in them what I am and what I want to do.” ~ Gustav Klimt

Aside from his famous The Kiss and Dame mit Cape (I’d like my portait to look like this, btw) hehe…

See his Gallery
