Of Brown Elephants and Pink Mangoes: Long Distance Relationships:

Everyone asks me about my “long distance relationship.” You see, my husband (and my partner for 8 years) lives in Texas. I, however, live in New York. I used to live in Texas, but had to move for graduate studies. We are both immigrants and have applied for green cards (he was lucky enough to…

I attended the Marian Bantjes’ talk at ICA today. It was truly an inspiring talk. Also one of her processes was very similar to mine, and it kind of made me happy. But she is way cooler than me, haha. Someday.

“There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that is your own self. So you have to begin there, not outside, not on other people. That comes afterwards, when you have worked on your own corner.”

melleigh:

This machine allows anyone to work for minimum wage for as long as they like. Turning the crank on the side releases one penny every 4.97 seconds, for a total of $7.25 per hour. This corresponds to minimum wage for a person in New York. This piece is brilliant on multiple levels, particularly as social commentary. Without a doubt, most people who started operating the machine for fun would quickly grow disheartened and stop when realizing just how little they’re earning by turning this mindless crank. A person would then conceivably realize that this is what nearly two million people in the United States do every day…at much harder jobs than turning a crank. This turns the piece into a simple, yet effective argument for raising the minimum wage.

I’ve been taking photos everyday now since January 1 of this year, for my 2013 | 365 days project, and I just realized that some of the photos I’ve taken could naturally fall together into another project. That excited me a little. I can’t wait to encounter more of these happy accidents.

A happy thought of the day.

I really love what I’m doing, and I appreciate every single thing that’s happening around me at the moment. I get discouraged a lot though, so many times. I guess I have to learn how to not compare myself with others, and keep on believing what is truly good for me. Because “believe,” is pretty much the only thing I can do right now. I don’t have any steps to “follow,” or plans to complete. I just have myself and my planner that really only helps me focus the things in front of my eyes.

I’m constantly fighting with excitement and fear. I wish somebody could tell me what I should and shouldn’t do. So many wishful thinkings. I’m getting so panicky.

Boston

Mon, 15 Apr 2013 19:14:30 -0400

Just so horrible to see this peaceful event turn into a senseless destruction in a matter of seconds. Boston is my second home, a beautiful city that makes me feel like I truly belong somewhere. Stay safe, stay strong. I love you Boston.
