MOVING ON

a view from the stairs another view on my way up Columbus with his back to me what I saw from one of the windows in the living-room like space that turns the Columbus statue into a humongous, almost out of place decor I didn't know who the lady was but, just like me, she looked excited and was having fun. a view of the Empire State Building The huge feet! His imposing presence detail of the wallpaper used all over the room, which could have been someone else's living room somewhere in the city It's by virtue of the work done by the brave conquerors that we have these collective views on Christopher Columbus'es pioneering trip to the US. And we continue to find out that there were other explorers ahead of him (and his co-travelers) who should rightly be recognized. For now, we know these conquerors came with lots of destructive activities in their hands plus sicknesses in their bodies that so

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. I've since then written 3 articles from what I learned by engaging in yoga: Men and Yoga The health benefits of yoga for men A guide on how and where to get yoga instructor certification in New York Read about what got into my mind in one of those times when I showed up at the former HNY's studio in Chelsea below: Last night's nude yoga session ( see Hot Nude Yoga ) led to a brief chat that gave me the opportunity to quench my curiosity over the penis rings that hang on the genital region of one of the participants. 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

[I must have listened at least 3 times to this speech that it has got me into a lot of pondering on what will happen next; I'm reproducing it here for the sake of posterity. The speaker remains a powerful and emblematic symbol of what's wonderful, fantastic about changes, the variety that most of us would prefer to have, given tendencies of humans to think and work along the safe coasts of habits. The speaker has so far hurdled a way of thinking that most persons who performed the same role as that of him in his current position have failed to seize as the next critical step to more progressive directions of human development (at least to set as good examples for others to emulate and improve on). But we are always reminded that there are changes that are always difficult to endure. Set against the context of change as an inevitable part of life cycles, what the speaker emphasizes in this speech becomes more fascinating. It does not say much about what happened in the very

This is the complete video showing all three parts posted somewhere here, for those who may want to watch the whole recorded historical event from one material.

I was doing my tasks as Personal Assistant, (a part-time gig) when Barack Obama was inaugurated as the 44th President of the US. The weather was in the higher 20s in NYC, but I noticed that it could have been colder in DC that day. I could have opted to join and be among the crowds in DC. A friend lives and works in DC, and she has her apartment but she was flying early morning the next day after the inauguration. It would have been far from convenient, so I chose to stay home and do my gigs as a freelancer. That day, I was asked to search for a website at the start of work, so that we could watch the proceedings in Washington,DC, which I found easily through the sites of ABC and CNN. However, when everyone in the house went downstairs to gather for the event towards noontime, the streaming down from internet was failing. We soon were in near panic, as we wanted to be there, be in the very moment while all these proceedings were taking place. But we could not view much from the small
