APL SONG
[Chorus in Tagalog]
Lapit mga kaibigan at makinig kayo
ako'y may dala-dalang balita galing sa bayan ko
nais kong ipamahagi ang mga kwento
ang mga pangyayaring nagaganap sa lupang pinangako.
[English Translation:]
(Come together and listen
I brought news from my native land
I'll tell you how we live and what goes on
From my beloved homeland.)
[Verse one, Apl.De.Ap]
Every place got a ghetto this is my version
Check it out...
Listen closely yo, I got a story to tell
A version of my ghetto where life felt for real
Some would call it hell but to me it was heaven
God gave me the grace, amazin' ways of living
How would you feel if you had to catch your meal?
Build a hut to live and to eat and chill in.
Having to pump the water outta the ground
The way we put it down utilizing what is around
Like land for farming, river for fishing
Everyone helpin' each other whenever they can
We makin' it happen, from nothin' to somethin'
That's how we be survivin' back in my homeland
[Chorus]
[Verse two, Apl.De.Ap]
Yo, its been a while but...
I been back home to my homeland, (check it out) to see what's going on
Man it feels good to be back at home
And it's been a decade, on the journey all alone
I was fourteen when I first left Philippines
I've been away half my life, but it felt like a day
To be next to my mom with her home cooked meal
Meant I felt complete, my emotions I feel!
Now life has changed for me in the U.S
But back at home man, life was a mess...
I guess sometimes life's stresses gets you down
On your knees, oh brother I wish I could have helped you out...
"Rejection"
My mom's birthday party was tonight, involving all 20 of the assorted [step]family members (i.e. "The Italians") coming over. Good people, but very loud and boisterous, which scares the wits out of Dish. Unfortunately, that means she refuses to eat until she calms down, which can be as long as overnight.
If I can get her out from under my bed, I'll consider it a win.

In a Huffington Post article that has been circulating throughout the blogosphere and the twitterverse about the rejection letters that many students will be receiving as they graduate university. They aren't the only ones who've been rejected, and Bill Shapiro collected hundreds of rejection letters from some of the most talented people in the world and presented them in an online meme.
Final Series for my Adv Traditional Film Class. I love working with 35mm film more than digital. Working in the darkroom and making print after print really is my favorite hobby.
This series was titled Enigma Between Acceptance and Rejection. It's all about questioning the world and being accepting it as it is or being shunned from it. Yadda yadda yadda.
Thoughtful feedback is always appreciated.

Looking around explore I found this cool shot (seen below) and I couldn't help but think what "no" was a response to. This is my take...interpret however you like :-)
WIT: In trying to recreate this time I had a really difficult time with the lighting. My first attempts were not overexposed enough so the cloning out of the mouth wasn't working well. Also, I was trying them with a picture of myself and my beard was making it difficult.
So, in the end I used a flash and a wide aperture to get an overexposed image. In CS4 I cloned out the mouth and added text. Then in Lightroom 2 I brought the exposure down a bit and added some contrast and a vignette to try and recreate the feel of the original.

When it comes to business, rejection is a part of the package. Whether your company is a one-person operation or a million-dollar enterprise, “no” is a word that you must learn to embrace. Rejection and failure are important steps on the way to dominating within your industry. The key is to not let a failed sales pitch affect your productivity or your attitude. If you’re in a sales slump, eWomenNetwork Founder and CEO, Sandra Yancey, explains at the eWomenNetwork Platinum Summit this simple "Q-tip" for overcoming sales rejections.

My Kurdish friend E. is so cute, but she categorically does not want to be photographed, so I respect this (no, really).
When I took this photo, I was more interested in capturing the tendrils of the ceiling lamp in the café. I did not even realize that she was in the picture, but she noticed and reacted quickly to turn away and cover her face with her hands. The fact that she hence became visible in the mirror renders this picture priceless.

Converted to b/w by manual channel mixing, then manually corrected very slightly for perspective, and twice subsequently for contrast.
Uncropped and not corrected for spheric aberration of the lens (see top border of picture and mirror frame).

Gertrude (“Trudy”) Belle Elion’s greatest legacy is the thousands of lives touched by the drugs she and her associates developed for the treatment of leukemia (6-Mercaptopurine or 6-MP), gout (allopurinol), rejection of transplanted organs (azathioprine), and herpes (acyclovir), among other disorders.
Elion was born on January 23, 1918, in New York City, to Lithuanian immigrant dentist Robert and Bertha (Cohen) Elion. Her father came from a long line of rabbis. Elion’s intellect manifested itself at an early age: she was a voracious reader and an excellent student, graduating from Walton High School at age fifteen. The death of her beloved grandfather from stomach cancer led her to choose chemistry as “a logical first step in committing myself to fighting the disease. That was the turning point.”
Elion received her B.A. summa cum laude in 1937 but found work opportunities scarce for a woman chemist. She received her M.S. from New York University in 1941. Despite her father’s losses in the 1929 stock market crash, she was able to continue her education by qualifying for tuition-free Hunter College. During this period, she also suffered the death of her fiancé. She never married. She found work as a quality control chemist at Quaker Maid Company, then as a research chemist at Johnson & Johnson. She landed a position in 1944 as a research chemist at Burroughs Wellcome, the noted pharmaceutical company, eventually becoming head of experimental therapy, a post she held until her retirement in 1983.
Gertrude Elion's contributions over the course of her career were remarkable. Among the many drugs she helped to develop were the first chemotherapy for childhood leukemia, the immunosuppressant that made organ transplantation possible, the first effective anti-viral medication, and treatments for lupus, hepatitis, arthritis, and gout. Her efforts have saved or improved the lives of countless individuals.
When Elion died on February 21, 1999, the head of Glaxo Wellcome observed,"Gertrude Elion's love of science was surpassed only by her compassion for people." Her generous heart and brilliant mind touched countless individuals around the world. She left a legacy that will benefit humanity for years to come.
We should give thanks for people like Gertrude Elion who gave of herself to improve the life of others. As we pray for these people let us also pray for the peace of Jerusalem and the protection of Israel. Psalm 122:6. Let us remember the dedication and commitment that Elion had not only for the Jewish people, but people everywhere.

I had a wonderful teaching day. I came home to rejection.
This is a snapshot of part of the letter. Please excuse me from photographing anything decent.

Photo taken on June 2008, Newark NJ
Brazil's House of Representatives has elected on 3/7/2013, evangelical pastor, Marco Feliciano, to chair the house Committee on Human Rights and Minorities (CDHM)
Feliciano has previously made consistent anti-gay remarks, saying being gay is 'hateful', 'sick' and against the rule of God
He is also on the record saying that 'AIDS is a a gay cancer' and has posted on twitter:
"A podridão dos sentiments dos homoafetivos levam ao ódio, ao crime, a rejeição"
"The rotting of the homo affective feelings take to hate, to crime, to rejection"
Feliciano previously made statements, saying: "Africans descend from an ancestor cursed by Noah, that is fact", adding that's why it suffers from 'hunger, diseases, ethnic wars'
Feliciano, is an illegitimate son of a black woman.
Recently, on his Blog, he has come to the defense of another pastor, who has been denounced to the Rio de Janeiro's Police, Marcos Pereira da Silva. Pereira is accused of several rapes, contract killings, money laundering and criminal association with drug cartels.
During the year 2007, Marco Feliciano, preached at 10 churches in Newark, NJ.
In each church, he asked 12 people to come forward and give him an "offer" of $1000 each.
He made $120.000.
One of his arguments to request the money was: "I told God, Sir I prefer to DIE, rather than get to Brazil, and someone to take away my TV program ,because I could not pay, this month's TV Program.

Exchange Program: Mandela Washington Fellowship, 2019
Those rejections are a preparation for that GRAND YES and the Mandela Washington Fellowship for Young African Leaders program was my first yes for the year in 2019
When I visited the United States of America in 2018 I said to myself I wish to come back here again to study and connect more and so it happened being selected to represent my country, my organisation and my community at one of the prestigious leadership programs meant everything, connecting with leaders on the African continent who have been such an inspiration the great work they are doing back home and showing the passion and the hardwork in all of it. To continue Serving humanity & Addressing society problems. Never was I in a space with so much black excellence in it, the language of love and appreciation has been so immense we can do great things when we remove the shy and share our dream.
I was based at the University of Delaware in Newark under Civic Track engagement during my time there it was phenomenal, every lecturer was engaging with the fellows very well and during our site visits we got a chance to go to NewYork City and visit the United Nations Headquarters in NewYork City, The honour of being inside the General Assembly & Security Council which I've only read and heard about in the media the United nations strives to maintain world peace and facilitate cooperation in solving international problems.
Being able to stand in front of a beautiful monument of Tata Nelson Mandela who represents the ideologies of freedom democracy and independence that are celebrated in the United States on the 4th July of which the very same program named after him has brought me to the United States of America inside the United nations headquarters which has goals that strongly believe in and want to achieve through out the Portia Ncwane Foundation, The Sustainable Development Goals are the blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace and justice.
Oh these little rejections how they add up quickly
One small sideways look and I feel so ungood
Somewhere along the way I think I gave you the power to make
Me feel the way I thought only my father could
Oh these little rejections how they seem so real to me
One forgotten birthday I'm all but cooked
How these little abandonments seem to sting so easily
I'm 13 again am I 13 for good?
I can feel so unsexy for someone so beautiful
So unloved for someone so fine
I can feel so boring for someone so interesting
So ignorant for someone of sound mind
Oh these little protections how they fail to serve me
One forgotten phone call and I'm deflated
Oh these little defenses how they fail to comfort me
Your hand pulling away and I'm devastated
When will you stop leaving baby?
When will I stop deserting baby?
When will I start staying with myself?
Oh these little projections how they keep springing from me
I jump my ship as I take it personally
Oh these little rejections how they disappear quickly
The moment I decide not to abandon me

frustration overwhelms me,
nothing left but this empty feeling.
rejection from the very same thing that gave me definition.
so i’ll bite the hand that feeds me,
fight the hand that bleeds me,
break the hand that cheats me me.
you will never defeat me.
i would rather stand and fight without a chance at all,
than wait around for these “so called” friends to break my fall.
you pass your judgment on me,
when it’s you whose buckling at the knees.
we’ll bite the hand that feeds us,
we’ll fight the hand that bleeds us,
we’ll break the hand that cheats us
you’ll never defeat us.
we are stronger and we fight harder than any makeshift martyr.
such an arrogant elite,
just begging to be heard.
you scream word after hollow word,
but now it’s our turn.
i’ve been there too,
alone in a crowded room and they’re all laughing at you.
a room full of rolling eyes and self doubt.
NARROW MINDS AND BIG FUCKING MOUTHS.
you’re not in this alone,
and you don’t have to feel that you are.
we’re what separates the heart from the heartless,
so we’ll push forward regardless of the consequence.
we’re what separates the heart from the heartless,
so we’ll keep pushing regardless.
i took this like midnightish so i won't have to worry about a 365 today,
when i was still all disgusting from yesterday, ahha
i just woke up, its 2.30 pm,
and i'm sore and want to die.
but worrth it (:
