Sky Mirror NYC

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 19:33:00 +0000

Yesterday I went to see the sky mirror in Manhattan with my dearest Sachiko. I've realized I'm not the greatest at interpreting "art" and I really just didn't understand the point of a huge metalalic structure across from Rockefeller Plaza. I felt a little bummed about the fact that I'm so dense about understanding abstract art, but when I came home and reflected on the day, and thought about compiling my video, I realized that I actually could take meaning from the giant sized pocket mirror.

My video is more of a socio-personal interpretation but I hope it's easy to understand where I am coming from. Enjoy all.

Sachi, I love you with all of my heart!

Cold Feet

I've really been missing Spain these past two weeks. I don't know why. As I keep going through all of my footage I'm realizing how beautiful it was there and how much I wish I had been happier while I was living there.

This is some (very shaky) footage of a beach in Asturgas. It was incredibly cold, but incredibly beautiful at the same time.

Spain's Rain

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 07:34:00 +0000

Before embarking for Spain the director of our program REPEATEDLY told us that the city of Leon was very dry and that he highly doubted it would rain while we were there.

Here is what I have to say about that...

Finally someone other than myself on this vlog! I met Theo in Spain and he is one of the coolest people I've met in a long time.

I miss you Theo!

Me and one of my closest friends, Leang. I was intending on posting something entirely different of her and I, but when I watched the footage I just found this really funny. Love you Leang!

I'm trying to get all of the vlogs in while I can. Once work gets into full swing I probably won't be posting much, unfortunately. I'm hoping to start taking some media classes at Hunter this semester if all works out. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but until then it's more of my head talking. I've found talking to the video camera to be immensely therapuetic though, so I can't promise that I won't stop doing it!

I Love Hawaii

I think we can technically call this a "real" vlog. I'm excited to post this because I fell in love with Hawaii and it shows one of the reasons why. In this clip I am in Maui. I can't wait to go back!

I Love NY

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 07 Aug 2006 13:29:00 +0000

I'm finally home! I didn't post "en vivo" while I was living in Spain; I just didn't have the time. But now that I have a little time on my hands before school starts (and I go to Hawaii! Really, I'm not pretentious!) I'm planning on getting some footage posted. I'm also aiming to do some serious overhauling on my page.

I have so much to say about "how this experience changed my life" but for now I will say that when I returned from Spain (I think) I had an epiphany - I'm going to go into broadcasting. Feel free to leave me any tips or feedback about this. That would be much appreciated.

SO MUCH to edit - I'll get some vlogs up eventually! In the meantime you can checkout the new pics I've posted on flickr (mostly starring my sister).

"The supreme happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves - say rather, loved in spite of ourselves."

"Men may believe what they cannot prove. They may not be put to the proof of their religious doctrines or beliefs. Religious experiences which are as real as life to some may be incomprehensible to others."

"Whether or not you claim to be interested in it, from the moment you are alive you are bound to be concerned with love, because love is not just something that happens to you: It is a certain special way of being alive."

Howling At The Moon: A Play Based On "Where The Wild Things Are"

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 01 Mar 2006 01:27:00 +0000

"Things just happen in the right way, at the right time. At least they do when you let them, when you work with circumstances instead of saying, 'This isn't supposed to be happening this way,' and trying hard to make it happen some other way. If you're in tune with The Way Things Work, then they work the way they need to, no matter what you may think about it at the time. Later on, you can look back and say, 'Oh, now I understand. That had to happen so that those could happen, and those had to happen in order for this to happen...' Then you realize that even if you'd tried to make it all turn out perfectly, you couldn't have done better, and if you'd really tried, you would have made a mess of the whole thing."

"My own humanity was awakened, rising up to greet me with a handshake as I watched the first glimmers of sunlight peek over the horizon. There's such a big difference between being dead and alive, I told myself, and the greatest gift that anyone can give anyone else is life. And the greatest sin a person can do to another is to take away that life. Next to that, all the rules and religions in the world are secondary; mere words and beliefs that people choose to believe and kill and hate by. My life won't be lived that way, and neither, I hope, will my children's."

"Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before. I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus."
