Flesh of the Art

Everyday, I lust for the flesh of art,


Can the world ever satisfy the emptiness of my heart?

Snippets of Hong Kong :-)

These are certain facts, observations, and insights about Hong Kong after my five-day tour in the said country:

1. Chinese people in Hong Kong are very good English speakers.
2. They are very considerate and generous in so many levels. (We were in GIORDANO, a leading HK clothing brand and bought 'pasalubongs' for our loved ones and then we asked more GIORDANO bags than the actual items and guess what? They agreed. This has not only happened ones but every time we asked for extra bags (even those expensive looking bags like LEVIS))
3. They move very fast. HK fastfood redefine FAST FOOD service.
4. Hong Kong is very clean--not one dry leaf lying on the ground and no dust and smoke emissions from buses or cars.
5. Prostitution is legalized in Hong Kong (OMG). Explains the very few hookers and pimps on the streets. (Bwahahaha!)
6. Chinese noodles are less salty there compared to the Philippines.
7. Many middle-aged people work in fast-food joints (unlike here in Pinas).
8. People EVERYWHERE are uber fashionable. (Pinoys are catching up, I went to Ayala the other day and man, I though it was a fashion show)
9. There are so many kinds of Museums: ART, SPACE, SCIENCE...
10. People in HK are very dependent on there Octopus card (the card they use for absolutely anything they purchase but is especially used as fare for transportation)
11. HK is my dream city (so far). It is because it is a precise mesh of things eastern and western--very urban, yet traditional and relatable. And skyscrapers galore!!!
12. Everywhere in Hong Kong is a tourist spot!
13. The weather in Hong Kong is very unpredictable. One moment your happy because the sun has shone and then two seconds later, it begins to rain. (WTF?)
14. You can haggle the prices (even with branded apparels) in market places.
15. Hong Kong captures you and makes you want to go back again and again and again.

Let's Begin.

Hi guys from all over the electronic grapevine (a.k.a. the internet)! I just want to say I am uber excited about my blog and I hope that this will be a very fulfilling experience for me! If you want to know the history of the title of my blog then here it goes: I am a big fan of Madonna, "The God of Pop" and while rehearsing for her "Confessions Tour," she asked one of the dancers about ART. She later commented that not only does she like art but "she likes to be the art"..."I AM THE ART," she says. In French "Je Suis L'Art." Thus, my blog is entitled "i.am.the.art." This is because like Madge, I also like to be THE ART. I feel that OUR body is ART itself, depending on how we use it. I want people to know that art is everywhere and I think that everything, when seen in an creative light, is a work of art. This is all for now and hope I keep this thing going on for like forever? Hehehe. Maybe. We can never tell.

How about you? Would you like to be the art?
