Some things about FoNgEtZ:
1.He loves short stays in the countryside, the simple life and a walk on dirt roads and less-visited spots.
2. He has few friends which made him think that he is an introvert. He hates the chaotic atmosphere of bars but loves the intimate ambience of meetings.
3. Laughs a lot, jokes a lot but only when he feels comfortable with the people he is with.
4. Grew up in Samar but has settled in Las Piñas where he lives by himself and a househelp (couple).
5. 11^th of a large family of 12 siblings, 30+ nephews and nieces, and number of grand-children (sa pamangkin).
6. Found his roots in Fujian, China in 2004 and have known that his father’s middle name was indeed LIM and not CUI.
7. Loved his parents so much but hounded by the memory that he did not show it when they were alive. His mother died while he was touring Vietnam and was enroute to Korea. So, he encourages you to draw a lesson from his experience.
8. Loved chanting “Marcos Pa Rin” in the streets of Manila when he was a member of NAFY (National Alliance of Filipino Youth) as he believes that Ferdinand Marcos was still the better President of our time. He was a darling of Ilocano elders and friends… lol
9. Used to have a 500-grade glasses and underwent LASIK (eye-laser) operation in Taiwan and had a 20/20 vision. His addiction to TV, movies and PCs made him wear glasses again, hmf!
10. Always brought his handy point-and-shoot cam never knowing that better pics are achieved by DSLR till he owned one in July 2007.
11. He learned cooking in Switzerland to fend himself and can do good Caldereta with Olives and .Leche Flan with Lemon Rinds for desert.
12. On weekends, he skips baths but never flickr.
13. He never experienced photowalks with anyone.
14. He bought a pro piano/organ with the thought that it would be easy to learn once it is there. But he was wrong and he sold it to his friend/tutor… haha.
15. He believes in super-naturals as he had few close-encounters with them.

Take a walk downstairs at the Sarah Hilden Art Museum and you will always find special treasures. This time Lake Näsijärvi reflected in the steel abstract art of Willy Weber.
A hundred years ago Brussels was a majestic city, as we can still see in the museum of fine arts. The visitor is welcomed by some imposing examples of the collection...
Part of a triptych - The fountain of inspiration and Selfreflection can be found here.
at the city beach of palma, just before the sun slipped below the horizon, she stood with a selfie stick in hand. for thirty minutes, she turned in slow circles, filming herself against the setting sun. over and over again, as if rehearsing for an audience that wasn’t there. the sky, painted in shades of silver and grey, played its quiet role, indifferent to the performance. it felt absurd, almost theatrical. and so i captured her – a silhouette caught between the ocean and a moment that will never repeat itself.
-- Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra
We are all multi-faceted; we have many emotions, desires, preferences, and personalities. I am certainly no exception. Most of my self-portraits thus far have been rather ... serious, or at least generally so. I've felt as though my creativity is limited to my 'deep thoughts' and my sense of humor isn't as applicable. Mainly, I'm usually just not smiling (with the exception of three or so shots). Some individuals (though I will not name them) had a first impression of me as someone serious, uptight, ... whatever. When I heard that, I laughed. And then thought to myself, hmm, is that true? No. Fair enough, but is that how I want others to perceive me? It's definitely not how I perceive myself. I like to have others see me as I'd like to be seen (who doesn't?) -- and I'd like to be seen as who I truly am, not some ideal. Truly, I laugh constantly. I joke constantly. I am too sarcastic. I make really, really corny jokes (e.g. "What do you call cheese that isn't yours? ... Na-cho cheese!" & "What time do you go to the dentist? ... Tooth-hurty!" & etc. etc. ad infinitum...). I love slapstick humor (e.g. Mel Brooks is my hero). Et al.
I am also deeply devoted to the intellect. I'm a philosopher by nature and college degree, and I love it more than just about anything. I know this part of me has come forth strongly in my photostream. I also studied neuroscience as an accompaniment to my theories about consciousness and personal identity. I've learned never to take a single thing for granted, believe anything beyond a shadow of a doubt, or throw my words around haphazardly. Sure, this makes me an analytic bastard who is anal about semantics and logic. People tend to find this tedious. So I have to reconcile two parts of myself: the silly idiot who is always ready to laugh at her own expense, and the thoroughly introspective and scientific seeker. Throw in creativity (which I *think* I have ;-) and you've got me. A big melting pot of talent, absurdity, philosophy, and passion.
Many thanks and love to Maite for picking "Self-Reflection" as today's FGR theme.

Selfreflection is a humbling process.
It's essential to find out why you think, say and do certain things.....
Then better yourself
Try to avoid trouble or involvement in a difficult or dangerous situation by behaving in a quiet way, so that people will not notice you.
"Make yourself inconspicuous."
Wellington, Somerset, UK.
Said about someone who is never the most important person in a situation or a person who has potential that is never fulfilled.
Amsterdam - Binnengasthuisstraat.
Drie bomen, zes lenzen.
“The lens trees” by Thomas Puckey, 1989. 3 bronze sculptural trees integrated in the dynamics of The Binnengasthuisterrein, once a hospital, now housing the faculty of humanities of the University of Amsterdam. No better area for selfreflection and the perfect location for these trees with bare branches grasping conversed magnifying glasses, which refer to the Camera Obscura and the art of painting by Johannes Vermeer.
No, I didn't set the camera on a tripod and run to the other side of the glass.
Just a hand-held effort to capture my own reflection in the crusty panes of an old window. (On a very, very cold morning, I might add.)

“I love the dark hours of my being.
My mind deepens into them.
There I can find, as in old letters,
the days of my life, already lived,
and held like a legend, and understood.” ~Rainer Maria Rilke
Kerið (meaning basin) crater lake, Iceland.
A figure in a dark cloak reflecting on a time of pain, confusion, and testing.
Strobist/technical info:
The scene was illuminated by two Nikon SB900 speedlights positioned at 9:30 and 3-o'clock, 4-feet away from and slightly above the subject. They were fired in Manual mode @ ¼ - power through Neewer 24" x 24" gridded soft boxes.
The SB900s were triggered by three PocketWizard Plus Xs.
The blue and pink colors were added in post with Gimp 2.10.

October
And the trees are stripped bare
Of all they wear
What do I care
October
And kingdoms rise
And kingdoms fall
But you go on...and on...

What is this? Two self-portraits in a row. Good grief! What is the world coming to?
I got this Tattered texture from Playing with Brushes (thank you so much you are incredible)
so for todays FGR Self Reflection. I was so happy to see this selected today, self reflection is always a good thing... i tend to focus on the bad.. BUT... well anyway I thought about this a lot today and for every bad, I had to have a good...
1. I have worked hard, damn hard, to get where I am and I deserve that sucess
2. I have done some things that I'm not proud of, that I think about all the time, that have hurt people, though never my intention, and I'm sorry and my heart aches for you every mintue of every day
3. I am blessed in life, I have an incredible family and fantastic friends, i'd lay down in traffic for them
4. I like the drama, the sadness, the hardtimes, as much as i hate it, i like it... i think it makes me stronger (that is so weird)
5. I want to be better at everything, instantly, now!
keeps popping into explore... and popping out :)
