I received a trophy and a medal -- I am so happy

Sorry, it took me a long time to add a post to my blog, since the Multi Media section of the public library where I used to access the Internet was temporarily closed and has been opened just recently.

Many unexpected things had taken place already, since my last post, like the day I graduated in an Art workshop (advance 1) with a trophy for being one of the outstanding students, and a medal for best in homework. Though many have received such token of recognition, still I am very much pleased with them -- they encouraged me even more.

I am, indeed, very thankful to my professor, Fernando B. Sena for helping me develop my skill in painting, which is a totally new field to me.

Help me save my paintings and book manuscript

Few days ago, I was so happy seeing my site featured by a website that I made a link to it. Two days later, I was dismayed to find, another website in its place; they must have moved it somewhere. That is why, when you hit the link my website can't be found in that page. I will try to locate it when I have time.

Then, yesterday, I was hit by a hard blow; it made me stagger for a few seconds. I wasn't hit physically, but emotionally. This happened when the owner of the land where I lived asked me to vacate the place next month. Her decision is totally an unexpected one. However, I have no reason not to comply with her request - so what I did is asked for extension - until the end of next month, March 31, 2010. So, I am now thinking of possible ways to save myself, my paintings, and book manuscript.

In my life, I have always been in situations like this - moving in the most unlikely time to move - a time when money is nowhere to be found. In the past, usually, I would end up living in the streets again and confront the horrors of street life. This time, though, I have to do my best and stay away from such place to save my work (paintings and book manuscript) from being lost; they are part of the treasures I have been keeping for some time now.

I'll do everything I can possibly do to protect my work, for they are inspired by that calmness I am experiencing, which give me much control over my emotion. Had I not been in this condition, I could have been bothered tremendously already. Now, because I can easily get calm, I am able to think with clarity. I have lots of ideas already to what I should do. At the moment, I am glad I have surpassed the uneasy feelings of nervousness and apprehension when things went against my plan in just a matter of few minutes.

I am waiting for the release of funds (a grant) from the Social Services Development Department this coming May, 2010. But with this recent development (my situation), I don't think I can still avail of it.  Anyway, I have done already what I ought to do - all I have to do is go with the flow of change, because it's Nature's way to fulfill a definite plan.

Enthralled with my present circumstance, I will write intensively about it; posting it at "Here is a Tale to Tell." Whatever my plans, too, I will be sharing it with you.

Your help, if ever you have the means, is warmly welcome. What I need at this moment is a capital to finance my painting project and a publication company to publish my book. I am very willing to do motivational lectures to share my knowledge and support myself. If you know an occasion where I can share my knowledge please inform me.

For my Art Exhibit, I encourage you to visit it personally while it is still existing. And if you can - please, help me preserve them for others to see, too.

For the moment, I don't have the means to produce a hard copy of the book's manuscript. This inconvenience  has made the submission of the manuscript to publishers on hold.

Blog awards

As I said before, since I found that extreme Peace of Mind,  I began to see the goodness of Nature everyday. They usually appear in very little things that happen everyday. Having cognizance of their existence always makes me happy. I like calling these wonders of life as miracles. Doing so, they sound very meaningful to the senses, making life more interesting. Just awhile ago, one of these little miracles took place when an email informed me about my blog (mindsecrethaven.blogspot.com) being featured in their "Blog Awards, top rated section." Seeing it for the first time, I almost cried with happiness. This Blog Awards is hosted by Tinkerbell Checks.

Comment:
My website that had been featured in the "Blog Awards, top rated section" can't be seen anymore in that page; perhaps, they have moved it to another location. Another website is now in its place, instead.

New Signage

The design you see on the right is an edited version of my newly conceived signage and flier for my Art Exhibit. In the painting, under the Heading "Celestial Consciousness," the words written read: “CELESTIAL CONSCIOUSNESS : tapping hidden resources through SPONTANEOUS ART.”

--------------------
Note: This flier is not yet in used.
