"Naive" effigy

Imagine yourself: you promenade in a mall on an ordinary working day, shoppers too few and far between, cleanliness almost antiseptic, displays static, precise, pristine. Then you see this all dramatically lit installation - you couldn't make it out from a distance, so you go closer. Now what do you make of it? A papier mache, no doubt, carelessly accentuated by possibly manila hemp given to the care of competitive bunch of caffeine-strung stray cats. Oh, could it be? But yes... *drumroll* IT'S ASLAN! (SM Southmall, theater area, promo materials for Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian.)

Breathe into shape

It was a sad New Year's Eve for my sister and the in-laws. Her mother-in-law passed away just before new year; the wake was at a parish church in Las Pinas. While loitering about the churchyard, this frame formed in my mind's eye. The clouds seemed to take form mimicking the treetops. Then again, the treetops also seemed to "breathe out" the clouds.
