2 pigs!





Tattooed, authentic real pigs,stuffed,preserved,& on display in a chelsea art gallery

These are two (2) stuffed, well preserved pigs (or I must have been kidded by my own eyes!!) on display at the Max Lang gallery in Chelsea. I was doing my usual Wednesday evening elderly companion volunteer work for a 92-year old man, when we happened to pass by the front of this gallery. We were on our way to a walk for a few blocks, as the weather was great yesterday, even at past 8pm. I was caught surprised on seeing these 2 pigs, and was amazed to realize they're real pigs that have been preserved by the artist. I'm actually having some doubts about the authenticity of these pigs being real, but I remember from my experiences years ago when I used to have a piggery business back in the Philippines, I remember how pigs' skin looked like (which skin can't be made artificially, or it would have cost that much to make!). Or, the artist must have done a real, great job of coming up with 2 pigs that look so real (& looking better than those found in usual wax museum shows). And these 2 pigs had parts of their skin imprinted on with tattoo, the details of which didn't create much strong impression to me, as they're difficult to see from outside (but remain fascinating, nevertheless).

Update: HNY has already closed shop with the lead yogi Aaron Starr focusing his energies on Blue Osa , a yoga retreat and spa in Costa Rica.

The metal rings would glisten in the space where Luke, the name of the said participant, has him making his stretches on his yoga mat. As all of us participants would work on the stretches and (challenging, whew!) poses being coached to us ably by our teacher, Hollis, in one session, I took note of Luke's p

Where Do I Start Moving On From The Tragic Demise of A Very Good Friend?

Last Friday evening (Philippine time), a very good friend of mine (as well as the friend of many, many others) was murdered in his apartment. I got the message from another friend on Facebook. I was since then grappling with the shock, grief and anger over the whole tragedy. Gratefully, I've managed to compose a brief poem on my grief . But the sadness still continues. This friend also happened to be posting comments to several of my blogs here, the last of which came out here . click on the title for more...
