The City of Nostalgia

The truth is I will always remember.

These simple symbols

represent so many memories.

So many moments I love.

And you have packaged it and sent it

high above the ocean, way across the seas

Just so I could remember.

The Gates of Paradise are guarded

A symbol of immortality

when your flesh does not decay

Your feathers are an annual reminder

Renewal, resurrection, rebirth, 

the stars and the sky,

the evil eye

The all seeing.

Your gold and blue collide

so magestically

heaven really is on earth

Since the last weekend has passed, I have just been experiencing more beauty and love to touch my heart and my soul. I have seen first hand what team work is, what collaboration is, what smooth, efficient productivity is. What passion is. We have created art, we have made concepts come to life and we have done it all on our own time. And we know there is much, much, much more to come. Life is an experience.


Life is beautiful. Especially when you're out in the middle of the ocean, paddling away from a quaint island full of life, and watching as the sun sets below the sparkling, fiery ocean. A weekend of creative production that ends with a full moon rising at your front and a gorgeous sunset at your back. The feeling of coasting along the waves, feeling as they splash your skin with the wind in your hair, a clear, open starry sky above you and amazingly talented friends at your back. How can this not be heaven on earth? 


I am making my own heaven by surrounding myself in everything that inspires me and everything that drives me. 

Sinulog with My Family

In the last 4 days..

I have...

...taken a boat to another island
...napped by the ocean
...felt the warm air kiss my face
...soaked my hair in blue-green water
...eaten marvelous food and drank tons of banana and mango shakes
...watched the sun set, watching red roses for valentines day being set up for dinner
...gathered in a circle with new friends in the sand watching the stars and laughing and drinking
...heard and saw fireworks
...gazed out the window watching the world of palm trees, green rice fields and tiki houses role by
...rang a bell on top of coral chocolate hills and made a wish
...toured across the laboc river on a floating restaurant listening to live guitar
...met the captain of a large ship and was asked to be his valentine
...spent hours in wardrobe for a film set
...went shopping for furniture for new offices at work 
...bought make-up for wardrobe and the film set
...meetings and meetings 
...and creating a plan to continuously help a local orphanage


Life can change so fast, but like the free bird, the best of us flow with the wind.
