Birth Pangs

I'm 2 weeks delayed in one project and 3 days in another. I never expected it to be this stressful nor considered having the two of them coincide for a single day. The pressure of being needed in two places at one time and traveling to and fro the opposite poles of the metro is very overwhelming. In fact, I've exhausted all the invectives to myself for pursuing these when from the onset telltales of incompetence were clearly laid out in front of me.

The truth is I'm numb. Numb from the constant badgering of my lady friends, numb from clueless workers who still managed to smile after carrying out instructions the other way and numb from the numbness of a disheartened ally. I've used the N word quite effectively, might as well change the first one with a D. So anyone reading this right now, don't mind me. I just want all these to be over with. Tomorrow!

I wanna get back to painting and have 5 of my artworks "hanged". I miss my pens and my paint tubes; and oh I almost missed retrieving my last artwork from Faber Castel. It turned out that my unfinished artwork, Red Threading 2: Parade of the Trojan Whores, was chosen as part of the Sining Awards exhibit.
