Timing and Chemistry

Hi,

I don’t when was the last time I used this tumblr. Time has moved on since then. Lost my job, got a new job , still play in band, met a girl and girl broke up with me. Nothing really new there.

So I guess this will another blog post about me detailing the rise and fall of a relationship. I looked back a few pages and saw what I wrote about my previous relationship and think to now. I don’t even think about that person anymore.

So does that mean I won’t think about this person anymore come the new days/months/years. I mean I don’t want to forget about this person because I know this time it wasn’t entirely me this time, but it could be I don’t know.

I guess what makes this one different is because I actually the three most important and fatal words you could say in a relationship “I love you” I really did love this person. Did I love this person because I really did or was nice to have someone in my life again or is it I hate the feeling about being lonely and saying I love you is the perfect catch all.

This whole last month I’ve been trying to look back on the whole thing. It’s hard not to see that there was chemistry there but the timing was horrendously off and I wish it wasn’t but that’s life in a vacuum. I see that she seems happier now and I can’t take that away her, that would be super shitty of me and not a characteristic of who I am and why change now.

I guess its the universe’s hands again

I’ll feel better again

I bought a record player

...about a month ago. It’s definitely one of the better purchases in a long time. It has kind of opened a whole new world for me. in terms in both collecting thing as well as just listening to music as whole. Now instead of skipping or picking the track i want to listen to right away, my main intent when listening to records is just to listen.

Simple idea right?

But seriously.  It has to be one of the most relaxing things a person could go. Get home from work, pick a record, place it on the player, drop the needle, and then let go.

It being a portable record player, the speakers are pretty weak, but it does the job for now. I’ve committed to getting at least one new record everything 2-3 weeks. I mostly stick to jazz records because of the simplicity of tones and sounds that appeal to me. I did pick up the Life Aquatic soundtrack (aka Bowie in Portuguese). I do want to build up a decent collection one day.

i don’t know how to internet anymore

I was just going to use that as a funny title and then leave it at that. But then I remembered I used to write things on this website.

I don’t use this anymore, not because I don’t want know. I just forgot I had it.

The last few weeks I’ve been working. I’m the assistant manager at a video game store/record store. When did that happen? I guess it’s cool. I guess I can say that now if I ever apply at new job, but when will that be. I’m complacent. That’s bad for now, but someday I’ll try something new. I’m pretty vanilla.

Other than working, I play a lot of Magic the Gathering. I know it’s super nerdy, but its just my release now. It’s weird. I’ve met a lot people playing this game, people normally I would have not have known. Hell, I even got a side job working/running a board game store (now closed). Who would have thought. But yeah I like to tap mana and cast spells.

I did another tour this summer as well as played the Metro. That was super cool. I haven’t played music in weeks, but that’s going to change soon because of upcoming shows and stuff as well as everyone being busy with life. But its good we’re getting back together soon. I’ve missed music. I did restring my guitar. I want to write again, but I can’t force myself to write. If I did, I know it won’t sound good at all.

Other than that, I’ve run into a few old friends over the last few months. Some got  married. Some have kids now. Most of this stuff I saw through Facebook. That part makes me sad. I miss a lot of my friends.

Life is weird.

Walk on the Artery

The Umbrella Revolution had taught me about the role of a photographer. Seeing all the great live images from the photojournalists, does make you wonder if you’d be able to get some. Answer is simple, yes and no. Yes, if you get paid. No, if you ain’t get a dime from a single image. There’s a fine line between your passion and your own personal safety. Riots and protests can go sour especially on the frontline when the civilians go against the police authority. You have 50% chance of getting hurt without any insurance coverage, damaging your gear (insurance associated). I just think it’s not worth it to risk on any of the above mentioned unless yourself is part of the protest party. Give the job to the journalists and leave your passion behind until the situation improved.

It was my first time in life remembering how a protest escalated and had turned into a riot of such scale in Hong Kong. My first reaction was ‘Oh my god! It’s really happening’. Right after the surprising announcement by Benny Tai of the Occupy Central founder which’s the same day midnight, they moved up the schedule to occupy Central as the students have gathered at the Government HQ and sparked a huge impact thru the news. It’s a statement just like declaring a war only the students were guerrilla and the Occupy Central with Love and Peace Movement Group is the mercenary backed by the news tycoon Jimmy Lai.

How quickly a movement like this had brought all the international news correspondents to town. I still remember I tuned in the 6pm news report just when I got home. Just when the live reporter about to describe the situation, the riot police popped a few gas grenades out. This type of scenes would only be seen through TV on the soccer-popular countries. The reporter got choked and people were escaping behind. I thought it was a surprise too, but surprises like these were necessary to contain the situation like all riot police in the world. It’s just rare happening here at our home turf. Really rare. The announcement last night I thought i was witnessing something, but then when the protesters gone mad with the tear gas i thought i was witnessing history. The history of how citizen protect their rights to protest and voice their views in indifferences.

The tear gas had brought more people out to the battle ground at the Government HQ the day after. The protesters had jammed the entire highway. That even brought more aware people to visit the site on foot on the first day of work after all the chaos happened over the weekend. All business district without traffic is a joke. It was a little jog from where I work but I made it there twice during lunch and once at night on the early few days of protest. The speedway of both direction to and out of Central is sealed off along with many other major passages, even the world famous double-decker Tram cannot run through Casueway Bay to Central (oops to tourists). It’s the artery to the heart of Hong Kong. Drivers are forced to drive up to the mountain to go pass all the roadblocks. That’s why business owners do not support this Occupy act.

So here I give you an exclusive view of what you might not be seen at the protest, A walk on the artery of Connaught Road.
