Vacation Juniors

There are countable moments in my life where I feel so much joy from singing and playing music. Meeting Jane and Joey for the very first time was an answered prayer. I felt the purest joy from watching the two angels sing their innocence to the songs that were once only known to me in my head, in my notepad, in my living room.

Thanks to Jeap and Aey, here is a glimsp of Jane and Joey.

Art Vacation in NIce

Hi. I'm back in France for the third time this week. Thank god i'm here at the wonderful hostel after the flight was delayed for hours. It's amazing that this hostel was once a monestary. We are drinking beers and playing games in the church and sleeping in where the nuns' quarter was. The service is excellent. We even got an airport pick up at one in the morning. I'm sitting down drinking here with people from all over the world sitting in front of 11 computers surfing the web. Gotta go for a smoke now. Last day tomorrow. Will do a little shopping and jet home. See you soon!

Art Vacation in Barcelona

Hello friends. I am in Barcelona. It´s my third day here. Last night was such an amazing saturday. I was out partying at RZZ till 5 am. The place was packed with thousands of people dancing away to different dance music in all of five clubs. Today is a Sunday and all the shops are close. Most people just go to the beach or the sports stadium. Even the metro is empty. I really enjoy Spanish cooking. One more day tomorrow and I´m back to Nice again for another night before I fly home on Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you guys soon. Miss you all.

Art Vacation in Cannes

Hello, it's my third day in cannes for MIPTV08, the annual worldwide tv event that takes place in this beautiful city of southern france. i have a bit of jetlag still, don't know why. i usually don't get this when in my 15+ years of travelling. may be i just have too much on my mind with people i miss, tv, bamblu and baiyok.

the best thing about cannes is meeting old friends and new people from all over the world. this time i've made good contacts with people from ireland, india, uk, nyc, hungary, german, just to name a few. my new friends are not just from the tv realm. they are doing some of the most dramatic projects, advocating significant changes to how we live, work and learn.

from formats to branded entertainment, from software to education, from co-productions to financing, from interactive web applications to social communities, there is just so much to take in.

perhaps one could easily assume that the biggest return on all this is money. i thought so too until a group of irish men shed some light on me last night after we had our four kilkennys. being a true gentleman in every way of life, work and relationship is the ultimate goal of living. softness is strenght, arrogance is weakness.
