I was on a roll yesterday. After Spanish lunch and early afternoon cocktails with dear friends, I went straight to a punk gig. The punk heavyweights were there: Betrayed, The Beauty of Doubt, Goo, and some really awesome young bands like Singkopado Sound System. I must admit that at some point, I dozed off in a corner because well, it was way past my bed time hahaha! It was good to be with this bunch. ❤❤❤ This is our #howimetyourmother shot at Mow's. Rock on!
Thanks to my friend Grace for this gift. I ordered this from her online bookshop but she said she'd give it to me as a birthday 🎁 instead. Yay! This is quite heavy stuff. The author, the brilliant #ryunosukeakutagawa is considered the Father of the Japanese short story. He battled depression for many years. In 1927, he wrote A Fool's Life (or The Life of a Stupid Man) which is largely autobiographical. That same year, he took an overdose of Veronal and died in his own home. He was only 35. To quote from his book: "Ah, what is the life of a human being--a drop of dew, a flash of lightning? This is so sad, so sad." 😭 PS The Akira Kurosawa classic Rashomon was based on one of Akutagawa's short stories titled 'In a Grove' . // Go check out @sell.phi
Thankful for another year. I can tell that this next orbit will be awesome. Also, I'm a moon child and this explains everything. Haha. Here's a shoutout to all #Cancer people (those who were born with the moon in Cancer). We are nurturing home buddies, creative, sensitive, and most of all, generous to the point of self-deprivation. May our tribe increase! Artwork gifted by @markinton Salamat po!
