The Unicorn in Captivity
may have been created as a single image rather than part of a series.
In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed.
He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence,
but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over:
In this instance, the unicorn probably represents the beloved tamed.
He is tethered to a tree and constrained by a fence,
but the chain is not secure and the fence is low enough to leap over:
The unicorn could escape if he wished.
Clearly, however, his confinement is a happy one,
to which the ripe, seed-laden pomegranates in the tree—
a medieval symbol of fertility and marriage—testify. The red stains on his flank do not appear to be blood,
as there are no visible wounds like those in the hunting series;
rather, they represent juice dripping from bursting pomegranates above.
Many of the other plants represented here,
such as wild orchid, bistort, and thistle,
echo this theme of marriage and procreation:
they were acclaimed in the Middle Ages as fertility aids for both men and women.
Even the little frog,
nestled among the violets at the lower right,
was cited by medieval writers for its noisy mating.

Go Hard or Go Home Lyrics
Hmmmm
I feel my heart stuck to beat like a drum every, everytime you're looking my way,
I see them other guys, trying but I only wanna wanna hear what you have to say
[bridge]
Don't keep me waiting, got one chance before
I'm off to saint elsewhere, that window is closed
I keep my (oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Boy don't you know that I'm the hottest in here?
(Keep it going now) (oh, oh oh, oh, oh oh)
Get in gear before I disappear with my girls.
[chorus]
I said you gotta go hard or go home,
cause if you get a girl like me all alone
You better take advantage of the moment
boy, you better own it,
and you gotta go hard or go home
I work my eyes, show my curves, flash a smile, so you know you can invade my space.
I'm standing by, wasting time, time to fly, do you do you like the thrill of the chase?
[bridge]
[chorus] x2
Close the deal right now or,
I'll be outta the door,
If you want me,
come get body to body
I wont say it no more
ta ra na na na
ta ra na na na
ta na na na na na na
ta ra na na na
ta ra na na na
Get in gear before I disappear with my girls.

When It Rains, It Pours. :)
I got this Very, Very Very Validating, Important, Confidential Letter today.
Being a man who hates surprises, of course comes love as well.
I am asked to submit my portfolio, it's a great thing I have a Video Portfolio.
I hope they would not ask me to collate these as well:
Well,
We were just actually asked to choose 5.
AND THAT IS PRECISELY MY SUPER PROBLEM.
I do hope that the Video Portfolio would do,
besides its an Innovation in Portfolio Style as well.
Pray, pray, pray....

Smokin a lot of cigarettes lately.
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - I AM NOT A ROBOT
You�ve been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you�re just a little baby
It�s okay to say you�ve got a weak spot
You don�t always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you�re not
You�re vulnerable, you�re vulnerable
You are not a robot
You�re loveable, so loveable
But you�re just troubled
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
You�ve been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don�t pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don�t be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I�m vulnerable, I�m vulnerable
I am not a robot
You�re loveable, so loveable
But you�re just troubled
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Well, let the drum beat drop
Guess what? I�m not a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I�m not a robot, a robot
Lo Que Siente
Girls can wear jeans
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
And cut their hair short
Wear shirts and boots
'Cause it's OK to be a boy
But for a boy to look like a girl is degrading
'Cause you think that being a girl is degrading
The Oscars/ Velvet Tribute.
I'm a man who is afraid of too much lights.
It blinds you.
As even before, thus was told by Jose Rizal's
The Moth and the Candle.
Just this March 4, 2010
Ayala Museum, Velvet Channel has staged their 2nd Annual Oscars Tribute.
Amongst anything else that whole day,
I did nothing but pray.
And I made it. Seriously made it.
Friends RCXY & SuperStarlet asked me yesterday,
You didn't get the Gold man.
Certainly, I never did get Gold, I got MORE; I said.
I got the Bronze.
I got the Dymanic Duo (Best Actors) Award.
Lastly: Best Photographer.
That was 3, in 1 night, in the 2nd year.
Happy, Proud, Humbled by a fame,
That I've coveted for.
What is that exactly?
The 1st Back to Back Winning Stylist.
That is when I say,
"A PICTURE OF A THOUSAND WORDS"
I hate, hate, hate to brag.
But I never knew such things can happen to me.
Actually, all of these?
This is not I want for me. I need, yeah.
I wanted to win.
So I can validate myself.
From being 1 of THE TEN TERNO's of Metropolitan Museum then,
Now,
I got Gold in Asian Food Channel's Food Styling Competition 2009
I got Silver for Ayala Museum's 2009 Competition
I got Bronze and 2 special awards this year's Ayala Museum Competition 2010.
I never fail myself;
that makes me, my friends, my family, and mentors better.
Funny how people think I'm not in love.
Then... How could I have won... :)
Friends, I bring you my latest Piece De Resistance: THE TITANIC
FYI: I hate Titanic! Major!
Inspiration: The Old Rose in the movie, she left me a phrase,
"IT WAS THE SHIP OF DREAMS"

Requiem, Alexander McQueen.
I don't know much about this man.
As not what you have expected.
But I know a lot about Philip Treacy,
and Isabella Blow(RIP).
Your Artworks shall live forever.
But let us not follow this path however great.
Wouldn't you want to live to tell?
I celebrate your Victory McQueen.
We ought to be remembered,
of Love.

Brazilian model Jesus Luz has recently fallen under intense media scrutiny. (Google his name and all will become apparent.) But Luz is a man of many passions. He’s a nature enthusiast, a student of music, a believer in the value of hard work and a strong spiritual life. Just don’t ask him to justify his love.

Hey baby, Mrs. Cold
Acting so tough,
didn't know you had it in you so be hurt at all
You waited too long
You should've hook me,
before I put my raincoat on
Ok I get it
Ok I see
You were fronting because
You knew you find yourself vulnerable around me
Ok I get it
Ok I see
You feel vulnerable around me
You were fronting because
You knew you'd find yourself vulnerable around me
When can I get it
When can I see
You feel vulnerable around me
Hey, baby
whats going on?
We lost control and you lost your tongue
You lost me
Deaf in my ear
Nothing you can say is gonna change the way I feel
When can I get it
When can I see
You were fronting because
You knew you find yourself vulnerable around me
When can I get it
When can I see
I step too close to your boundaries
You wanted nobody around to see
You feel vulnerable around me
Hey baby
What is love?
It was just a game
We both played and we cant get enough of
