Elink Video::Heart Wrenching Performance Art

If you had asked me of examples of performance art I would never have thought about sand painting/pictures in the sand in a hundred years.
There is something so beautiful and haunting about this. got this from kottke.org  and hope you could watch it at least half way through!
This was about germany’s invasion of ukraine in the second world war. The artist was the winner of Ukraines’ 2009 Got Talent show.

Elink Video:: J & K Wedding Dance

Loved this video so much. Don’t know why I’m only posting it now.

PS I heard the song forever by chris brown playing in an overly loud ipod my bus seat mate was perusing. Damn, Now I can’t get rid of it. It just keeps on playing in my head!

Elink Vid:UKG Mindanao: PGMA hands over ancestral domain titles to Higaonon tribe

I used to believe that this would set a bad precedent and would fracture the Philippines;  but recently, I’ve come to the conclusion that if we want to survive the modern world as a nation we better really learn to embrace our differences while we embrace our similarities. I use to doubt we could. I do not know what has changed either within me or outside of me but I am more hopeful now that we can.
Good job PGMA , we almost never see eye to eye but praise to whom praise is deserved.

Elink Video :: Beau Lotto's TED Talk

… our brains did not evolve to see the world as it is. We can’t. Instead the brain evolved to see the world that was useful to see in the past; And how we see is by continually redefining normality.

Ted Talk: Elizabeth Gilbert On Nurturing Creativity


I liked this alot because I still haven’t developed that discipline in creation where you can force yourself to write/dance/code etc. It has to be from an overwhelming desire to do something. That’s my problem with work oft times, I pass mediocre (at least in my standards) whenever I have to code because of a deadline. I can only write stories when I am inspired, and I can’t sing alot of songs when I am not in love with somebody(like now).
