simple pie - for a change from rice and rotis
pie base (dough of wheat flour, butter, egg, little water) - blind baked first
assorted veggie and (leftover) meat bits over the base with salt, pepper, thick knorr soup mixed in
mashed potatoes on the top with some cheddar cheese grated in. Baked.
bon appetit!
I finally finished sewing the top that nearly drove me insane. Nothing fancy, just plain white cotton, some gathers and pin tucks for detail, and I can see myself wearing it a lot.
Pattern by me.

I feel like I still haven't quite worked out this camera. A camera is like a set of eyes that you need to get used to...I heard something interesting in my travels. Apparently the way we process visual data is that our eyes see everything upside down (like a telescope) and that our brain works to flip it right side up for us...and studies have been down that put special 'glasses' on people for a few weeks and these glasses turn the world back upside down...our brain will learn to reorientate with the glasses off after a long time THEN when the subject takes the glasses off the world IS upside down again until again the brain learns...my brain is learning this camera. Shot at home in the garden. **Im also learning to remember photo details...sorry I didn't write them down/remember the shot details**
José Pereira (1901 - 1954)
Botocan
signed and dated 1930 (lower left)
oil on panel
9” x 12 1/2” (23 cm x 32 cm)
Opening bid: PHP 80,000
Literature:
ART Philippines. Juan Gatbonton, Jeannie Javelosa,
et. al (eds.). The Crucible Workshop, 1992, p. 94.
From the Alfonso T. Ongpin Collection
Jose Pereira is one of the pre-war painters who produced genre works during the first quarter of the century. He took up painting at the UP School of Fine Arts from 1923-25. A friend of the art patron Alfonso Ongpin, Pereira was among the staff of the Philippines Free Press and became its chief artist later on, producing a weekly cartoon for the publication, but left due to tuberculosis in 1938. His style is marked by bold washes and dramatic atmosphere, as seen in this 1930 work titled Botocan, with a note to Ongpin.
Pereira’s works are noted to be reminiscent of Fernando Amorsolo’s style, specifically the master artist’s backlighting techniques. However, what sets his works apart from Amorsolo’s pieces is his “sweeter” color palette that reveals his penchant for orange hues mixed with pink. In this work, viewers are led to a simpler time in an idyllic landscape through rich impastos and dazzling colors of nature.

Something relatively quick and simple tonight. The Good Smile Company 1/8 scale Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society Motoko Kusunagi PVC statue.
Wow that's a mouthful.
Solid State Society is a feature length movie that is set in the Stand Alone Complex series. I've never seen it, but I have noticed a general consistency of the way Motoko looks in all of my Stand Alone Complex figures, and it pretty much comes to some variation of her light grey catsuit.
Now, I, as usual, bought this off a seller from a classified ad, in this case for $50. What I'm trying to figure out is just how rare this piece is because the aftermarket prices, both on eBay and Japanese sites, have this priced at something absolutely insane, I don't know if it was because the statue of was underproduced, or maybe this was the only version of her from this particular series.
Motoko is depicted in a relatively static pose - she's standing with visor in one hand and the other hand on her outward hip, with a half open trenchcoat slightly billowing in the wind and an attentive gaze. This was released in 2007 and 2009, so it was one of the statues that was around when I was generally more active in the PVC world. and I have to say that The Major looks fantastic.
There are some subtle fabric folds on her suit and the trench coat. Casting came out sharply. There's not a dull edge or non eye pleasing detail in sight. Hair and face are adequately sculpted, and her curves are very crisp, and personally I feel its a shame half of her is covered up by her coat. Subtle detaling such as the lines on her suit aren't too bad, though not quite as crisp as the other stuff on the body. There's no webbing between the fingers, and each digit is well defined. The visor also is nice and crisp, with no poor edges observed. There's also some body definition that you'll appreciate more with the lighting coming in from JUST the right angle.
Paint work is as solid as anything you'd get these days. Smooth crisp applications and excellent masking work, along with well printed and applied decals. Of course, these are the guys who make Figma and I've generally been pretty happy with their work.
Finally Build Quality is, once again, what I'd expect from Good Smile Company. No glue residue or poor assembled parts that make you question your sanity. This is an older statue, however, and was made before industry wide standards to stop using soft plastics on sections of the body that are prone to bending. In this case, I found that her ankles had bent slightly, causing her to lean forward. Fortunately, a bit of hot water and some elbow grease allowed the situation to be rectified.
In conclusion, a very nicely painted statue of Motoko that shows off her beautiful character design without being overtly sexual, which is usually the sweet spot for me because it means I don't have to hide it from display. The only real problem is the leaning which was an industry wide thing.
So if you're a Ghost in the Shell fan and can find this at a price that doesn't give you acid reflux, just go for it.
Simple Gifts
Simple Gifts was written by Shaker Elder Joseph Brackett, Jr. in 1848. It was first published in The Gift to be Simple: Shaker Rituals and Songs. Simple Gifts was a work song sung by the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing (more commonly called the Shakers, an offshoot of the Quakers).
'Tis the gift to be simple,
'tis the gift to be free,
'tis the gift to come down where you ought to be,
And when we find ourselves in the place just right,
It will be in the valley of love and delight.
Refrain:
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we shan't be ashamed.
To turn, turn will be our delight,
'Til by turning, turning we come round right
'Tis the gift to be loved and that love to return,
'Tis the gift to be taught and a richer gift to learn,
And when we expect of others what we try to live each day,
Then we'll all live together and we'll all learn to say,
'Tis the gift to have friends and a true friend to be,
'Tis the gift to think of others not to only think of "me",
And when we hear what others really think and really feel,
Then we'll all live together with a love that is real.

My name is Maria San Jose I'm a freshmen and a student of St. Joseph Academy. I love to be around my friends and family. My goal is to graduate in High School and finish college. After high school I would like to go into a place where I would have a course that she likes. I’m a type of person who likes to bring my camera everywhere I go and take pictures of every moment of my life.
I don’t take photos just because I have to do it for digital photography or I need new profile picture in facebook, I takes photos because I always wants to capture every moment of my life which includes the happy, sad, exiting moments. Most of the photos I take is related to my life or songs. I am practically a person who takes photo of same subject 20 times until I’m satisfied with it or that I think it’s the best one.
.
My Self Portrait describes of who I am. I’m a type of person who never leaves the house without her hair all fixed up. In my pictures it shows that I’m wearing my favorite shirt. I don’t really like to wear any classy type thing (except if there is big event.) I took this picture in my living room because in my whole life I was always in the living room watching TV or eating or doing my homework. My emotion in this picture is little bit sad because sometimes even though you see me that look so happy, deep inside I’m always sad.
My alter ego is way different. I was alcoholic and describe a lonely person who was abandoned by her family and friends because of her bad behavior. I was wearing sunglasses because I was hate light and that I always my whole has in a dark place because sometimes is distract me. I’m not really addicted to liquor but I’m addicted to chocolate. Although this not the real alter ego of me is still think is a big part of my life because if I would to do it again I would change the liquor to food because I’m always hungry. I was satisfied of my project and I’m proud of my work.
Again and the same day at Mission Trails Regional Park located in San Diego County, California...
...yes, simple but complicated when considering that this planet exist... some engineer who put it all together!
Thanks!

Greetings mate! I love voyaging forth to Zion National Park to contemplate poetry, physics, the golden ratio, and the Tao te Ching! What's your favorite epic poetry reflecting epic landscapes? I recently finished a book titled Epic Poetry for Epic Landscape Photographers:
www.facebook.com/Epic-Poetry-for-Epic-Landscape-Photograp...
Did you know that John Muir, Thoreau, and Emerson all loved epic poetry and poets including Shakespeare, Milton, Homer, and Robert Burns?
How inspiring the grandeur of Zion is! It reminds us of those entities greater than ourselves, such as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey and Light Time Dimension Theory!
I recently finished my fourth book on Light Time Dimension Theory, much of which was inspired by an autumn trip to Zion!
www.facebook.com/lightimedimensiontheory/
Via its simple principle of a fourth expanding dimension, LTD Theory provides a unifying, foundational *physical* model underlying relativity, quantum mechanics, time and all its arrows and asymmetries, and the second law of thermodynamics. The detailed diagrams demonstrate that the great mysteries of quantum mechanical nonlocality, entanglement, and probability naturally arise from the very same principle that fosters relativity alongside light's constant velocity, the equivalence of mass and energy, and time dilation.

My day has been filled with simple pleasures. I love retirement. Started out the day with a short walk. Enjoyed visiting with a new acquaintance and captured this cutie in her backyard. Then lunch out with Hadley, followed by a stop at Lowe's where we found four lamps for $80 total.
