here in the phillipines

every night at 8 pm here, the sirens sound throughout the country to signify the start of the nightly curfew from 8 pm to 5am. kinda eerie but also annoying as all the dogs in this village bark uncontrollably when they hear it. and they don't stop for hours. amd yes in some provinces they play the announcement from The Purge, which I actually prefer, cuz the dogs aren't influenced by that. #quarantinelife

play at another level

choose the Old Code as my own

 I am hereby sworn to valour, to speak only the truth, to use arms to defend the helpless, to use might to uphold the weak. My heart knows only virtue. My wrath will undo the wicked."

when the uneducated speak

the dallas holocaust and human rights museum put out a statement in regards to some people  comparing the quarantine to nazism

kudos to the museum

energy dictates matter. free your mind...

and the rest will follow

 be greater than your exterior

my bad

I must apologize to many of you going crazy because of this quarantine I wanted the world to experience just a taste of what I've been going through for a few years now, not able to live your normal life, much of your independence stripped away for weeks, I fear I may have cursed you all, but at least you'll get it back way sooner than me. And you've had the privilege of being able to move all your arms and legs all this time.

the beauty of struggle

welcome the shake up

take advantage of the halt  of normalcy 

struggle breeds  unique opportunity

embrace  the strange ceasing of typical ideation

welcome the opportunity for creative solutions and ideas of inspiration

- p. prejusa

welcome the  struggle

the struggle is real, so are the solutions

the truth is, that having a stroke and becoming half paralyzed is one of the luckiest things to happen to me.  because struggle breeds unique opportunity and creative solutions

i had a brain bleed, i went into a coma when i woke up i was half paralyzed,  my old life was gone, car gone, job gone, business halted new reality. still dealing with it, nearly 3 years later.

but i see the benefit of my situation, my job and business were killing me,my lifestyle was killing me the routine was killing me , i didn't die after the brain bleed but i got to have a reset. all those old clients are gone, that unhealthy routine of stress and work are gone, I have a chance to recreate things the way they really need to be,  just gotta get past the paralysis, no problem.

the universe got rid of the negatives, now i get to choose the positives to put back in.

I started feeling bad for those who aren't able to experience  this dramatic shift. but then covid happened to the world, people started understanding they needed to adapt. learn a better way to do things, I already had a head start I figured out some ways to keep being a storyteller, and I'm understanding how to improve that process.

adapt or die. well i didn't die, so i'm forced to adapt, and i'll be back stronger and improved.

this is the way.

what dreams may come

To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them: to die, to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep, to say we end
The heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks
That Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To die, to sleep,
perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub,
For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There's the respect
That makes Calamity of so long life:
For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,
The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely,
The pangs of dispised Love, the Law’s delay,
The insolence of Office, and the spurns
That patient merit of the unworthy takes,
When he himself might his Quietus make
With a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear, [F: these Fardels]
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovered country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have,
Than fly to others that we know not of.
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of Resolution
Is sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,
And enterprises of great pitch and moment, [F: pith]
With this regard their Currents turn awry, [F: away]
And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,
The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy Orisons
Be all my sins remember'd.^[1]

your brain is not your mind

your soul is not your spirit


your being is not your essence


your personality is more than who you are.
