Self-Explanatory. After my own childhood, and 26 years in the navy, I really hate drunks. This does not stop me from laughing at depictions of them, of course.

This is one of the latest nonsensical catch-phrases being taught by repeatedly invoking it as fact in the new "woke" world being forced on Society.
Sometimes the phrase is quoted as “Perception is their reality”, which is closer to the truth, but it still doesn’t make someone’s perception necessarily the truth.
This phrase “Perception is reality” was used most recently on Survivor where a group of young women decided they were ‘uncomfortable’ with one of the guys who was touching them ‘inappropriately’. It was used repeatedly in the discussion at Tribal Council, where one very “woke” man said regardless of how the touching was intended, no matter how incidental, if the woman perceived it as inappropriate, then it was inappropriate because “perception is reality” and “her perception is her truth”.
Then they voted her off the island.. Why? Was it because the truth is, no one could afford to take the chance that she might turn her "perception" against them next and ruin them in real life? Or maybe because *their* perception was that she might use her status as a helpless victim to make herself invincible in the game.
“HER perception is HER truth”. Which is another way of saying we can't contradict her. It's also a way of saying each of us gets to decide what is and isn’t real (to us..), what is and isn’t inappropriate, what is and isn’t fair. We get to decide what is and isn’t the color blue, who did and didn’t break the law, and what is and isn’t “Constitutional”.
Which would explain why Nancy Pelosi, Adam Schiff et al continually claim Donald Trump is a lawless tyrant, who must be brought down by any means necessary! It's their perception and must be respected as one version of the truth. After all, there is no absolute truth. There is only the truth that we perceive. And that, my friends, is the definition of chaos.
They are living in their own reality, where whatever they perceive to be the truth, IS the truth. Well.. THEIR truth, anyway..
We have a name for people who live in their own reality. And we don’t allow them to buy guns, work in nuclear power plants, or join the military, the police or fire departments. But they seem to do very well in the fields of journalism, teaching, and politics!

Sorry I am flooding my site but I am putting on some of the images that I am showing at my exhibition. Thank you for your interest and kindness.
The museum was founded in 1952 and was first open to the public in the former Shanghai Racecourse club house, now at 325 W. Nanjing Road. In 1959 the museum moved into the former Zhonghui Building at 16 S. Henan Road, which previously housed insurance companies and bank offices. In 1992, the Shanghai municipal government allocated a piece of land on People's Square to the museum as its new site.
Construction of the current building started in August 1993. It was inaugurated in October 12, 1996. It is 29.5 meters high with five floors, covering a total area of 39,200 m². Designed by a local architect, the new museum building is designed in the shape of an ancient bronze cooking vessel called a ding. It is said that the inspiration for the design was specifically provided by the Da Ke Ding, now on exhibit in the museum. The building has a round top and a square base, symbolizing the ancient Chinese perception of the world as "round sky, square earth

From Faith Ringgold
(June to September 2019)
As an artist, activist and children’s author Faith Ringgold (b. 1930, Harlem, New York) has challenged perceptions of African American identity and gender inequality for over five decades. Growing up in the creative and intellectual context of the Harlem Renaissance and inspired by her contemporaries including writers James Baldwin and Amiri Baraka she is widely recognised for her painted story quilts combining personal narratives, history and politics ‘to tell my story, or, more to the point, my side of the story’, as an African American woman.
This survey exhibition, Ringgold’s first in a European institution, is chronological and includes paintings, political posters and story quilts. It begins with American People (1963 – 67), a series that exposes social inequalities and racial tensions she witnessed during the Civil Rights era, and culminates in her response to the Black Power movement. In the 1970s, her work and politics embraced feminism as she led protests outside New York museums demanding equal gender and racial representation in exhibitions, designed political posters and co-organised the People’s Flag Show for which she was arrested.
Ringgold’s paintings shifted in the 1970s from traditional oils to her first unstretched works bordered with pieced fabric, inspired by Tibetan tanka paintings. The exhibition includes her tankas from the Feminist, Slave Rape and abstract Windows of the Wedding Series Ringgold made in collaboration with her mother Willi Posey, a fashion designer. This led in the 1980s to Ringgold’s first story quilts where she was able to finally ‘publish’ her writings. She said ‘there’s so much freedom in “Freedom of Speech”, I could write whatever I wanted on my art – no one could stop me’. These works weave image and text in the tradition of quilting passed on through the female line of her family from her great-great grandmother who was born into slavery. From Harlem rooftops and jazz clubs, to a graffiti-filled New York subway and a radical biography of Aunt Jemima, the face of a pancake mix brand, Ringgold’s affirmative quilts celebrate a myriad of life, culture and aspiration. Her later quilt series Coming to Jones Road and the American Collection return to voice African American histories, including that of the Underground Railroad. As cultural assumptions and prejudices persist, Ringgold’s work retains its contemporary resonance.

A studio shoot for a perceptual piece taken as part of a photographic assingment. The image was intended to portray the effects of advertising on the way we perceive and judge people through the use of stereotypes and models.
This photo was taken in the FX terminal in front of SM Megamall. So many people were lining up, crowded in the pedestrian side, waiting for the FX to arrive. (naks, rhyming)
Seriously though, is the problem really overpopulation or just a blurry perception towards population?
A lot of people all over the world today would agree that overpopulation is indeed a hindrance to economic development in their country. This is manifested by the bills and laws that their country passed just to “control” population. Here in the Philippines, we have also our own story to share. Just recently, some of our legislators proposed a bill that aims to promote reproductive health, the House Bill 5043 or more popularly know as the “RH Bill”. The pressure to pass the bill is more pressing since the pro-bill people are claiming that this could be the solution to the widespread poverty that we are all experiencing. But then again, are we really overpopulated in the first place? Is our own populace hindering economic development in our country?
I guess the problem boils down to the misconception that everyone has towards population. People who proposed this bill seemed to tell us that there is no hope in our people. They just see them as burdens when in fact we should consider them as assets. In relation to my picture, they can say that we are overpopulated because the supply of FXs is not already enough for the people. Thus, we need to control it. Is this the way to look at things? Isn’t it that it will be proper and logically sound if we see it like this: “we need more FXs because we have a growing population”? They just cite the poor vendors and street children in the sidewalks to say that we are overpopulated and that poverty is widespread. But, they fail to see the working populace who keep our economy upfloat. They don’t appreciate the hardships that our OFW’s suffer to bring in dollar into our country. Is this the hindrance to economic development that they are talking about? I guess not. It is our labor force that fuels our economy, that keeps our economy alive, that brings progress in our country. In a country like ours where acquisition of capital is difficult, human resource is best asset and advantage that we have. We just have to develop this asset. We just need to invest on human capital and for sure, the returns that we will get will be of immense value. We just have to believe in our people and change our mindset regarding overpopulation. We are not overpopulated and our problems with poverty are not rooted in the number of people that we have: it is entrenched to our incapacitated and corrupt government.
Indeed, population is not a hindrance to economic development, as many people nowadays believe in. In fact, they are our assets that bring growth to our economy. We do not need the RH Bill. What we need is a change of mindset or way of thinking. It is precisely the failure to realize that our human resource is our greatest advantage hinders economic development.

Since nature still needs a bit of time to show its spring beauty, I decided to go for a bit of window shooting and try arranging some collages. As usual: C&C very welcome!

Have you ever thought about the relationships you have with the people you know? Even those you have known for years can take you by surprise.
Maybe it is because we take them for granted after a while - or that they take us for granted - or both.
Sometimes what you think you know will and what you truly find will turn you inside out - and leave you bleeding in the dust. Or maybe you will mend. But it will never be the same.
Or maybe they will come through in a way that was never expected at all.
Who are you looking at ?
Or maybe I should ask..who is looking at you?
