Manimals
El zodiaco chino antiguo comprende doce ciclos anuales a los que corresponden doce animales asociados: La rata, el buey, el tigre, la liebre, el dragón, la serpiente, el caballo, la oveja, el mono, el gallo, el perro y el cerdo.
Se cree que la persona exhibirá los rasgos del comportamiento y de la personalidad, a veces incluso características físicas, del animal correspondiente al año en el cual nació. En los doce retratos de la serie “Manimals”, Daniel Lee interpreta el zodiaco chino en términos contemporáneos mediante la manipulación digital de imágenes fotográficas.

Pezebra (1)
El pez cebra o danio cebrado (Danio rerio o Brachydanio rerio) es un ciprínido emparentado con las carpas y los barbos, originario del sudeste asiático. Los peces cebra duermen cuando se va la luz y, además, su sueño es muy parecido al de los humanos y otros mamíferos (ver el artículo “El sueño del pez cebra” en el diario El Mundo)

Ojo de tigre
El “ojo de tigre” es una piedra semipreciosa de la familia del cuarzo, de colores pardos y amarillentos. Al moverlo se puede observar que algunas zonas brillantes en su interior cambian de color y tamaño. Este efecto óptico, común a otras gemas, se denomina “brillo de ojo de gato”.

Los ojos de la Dama de Elche
“La Dama de Elche tiene vacíos los iris de los ojos, lo que la convierte, hasta el momento, en una excepción dentro de la estatuaria ibérica. Casi al final del proceso de su talla el escultor procedió a incrustarle las piezas previamente preparadas y que harían las veces de iris y de pupilas. Seguramente, y como en casi todo el mundo antiguo, se utilizaron materiales preciosos o semipreciosos para dar mayor viveza a la expresión de la cara”. Ver post en damaelche.blogspot.com extraído de Francisco Vives. “La Dama de Elche en el año 2000. Análisis, tecnológico y artístico”. Ed. Tilde. Valencia.

Married at an early age. Would you?
Not too long ago, I met up with an old school classmate / friend who happens to be getting married this year!!
HEARD THAT RIGHT!!MARRIED!!MARRIED AT AGE 23!!
Some people ask me, how come he could do such a thing???
umm...You wouldn't if u have a girl this hot??
No that's not his girlfriend but his girlfriend is very pretty as well. So what does that tell you??
Anyway coming back to out meet up, if you're wondering what was the first thing that got into my mind,
IT WASN'T AN "ACCIDENT"! hehehe....ummm...
The first thing that got into my mind was....how successful he could have been to do such a thing!
I mean...LOOK AT IT!!Its a really big step in his life.
I can't even imagine myself in a marriage. (that was my cousin in her wedding last week)
How too...when I don't have any of the 5C's at least for a start.
1. CAsh
2. Car
3. Credit Card.
4. Condominium
5. Country Club
How too when i'm still leaching on other people to get myself in VIP ROOMS such as the recent post.hehehe...
Obviously the step he took differenciates the boys and the men.
Now the next thing that many people would be interested to know is when they will have their first child since its no longer an accident.
Well at least I was interested because I wanted to know how old his kid would be so i can space out my timing on when I should settle down.
Then he whispers to me....
His newly wed not interested in having a baby at least for another five years which was agreed by him before marriage.
Now if you're wondering that this is no longer in use after u get married,
you're wrong!!
Heck!!Might as well come to the wedding in this?
She even controls what he can do with his "big brother" right from the start of the marriage. What else is there that the she couldn't control?
Obviously, this is a start of new marriages to come.
In that case. I'm 24, I'm single, I'm free from commitment, this is my prime time..ummm marriage now? No thank you. I think i'm gonna my marry my first sports car first.

Narices
El hombre de las narices (en catalán, home dels nassos) es un personaje de la mitología catalana que tiene tantas narices como los días que quedan del año (es decir, cada día que pasa pierde una nariz).
En la imagen, la mujer de las narices en la obra Archimbolda, de Nono Bandera. El autor manipula pinturas anónimas para provocar. Para Nono Bandera (Málaga, 1958) el arte tiene que ser un revulsivo, debe nacer de un planteamiento radical.

VIP Room in MOIS Penang
If there was any one thing about my life, I was not going to stand around and stay at the "bottom of the society chain" blocking me access to entertainment that is offered to only "Very Important People"
People who are rich, famous, and good looking.
People who own cars that not any normal people(the ones that clubs outside the VIP ROOM) would have
What am i talking about???
YES GUYS!!I FINALLY MANAGED TO ENTER THE VIP ROOM!!
Something I couldn't do the last time I visited the club in my last post.
With so much curiosity, I really needed to check the room out and of course show the rest of the people who are together with me at the bottom of the society chain.
This is how far I would go to show my dear readers that I am committed to this blog and that waiting 10 to 15 days for a single post was very worth it.
Right!!Right!!
Hmm.....
This "field trip" was made possible by a friend. All thanks to him whom made thousands of phone calls through friends of friends of friends outside the club to get us a place in that VIP room.
Amazingly, we managed to have a place after buying 2 bottles of vodka and a bottle of whiskey which pretty much amounted to my entire months of pay cheque.
So, what's so nice in the VIP ROOM compared to clubbing on the outside of that room in MOIS?
Well, there was a Harp for rich educated children to play a different kind of tune whenever they find the music outside not too soothing to them.
There were beds.
Beds that I could only imagine a night like how SNoop DOGG would do it!!
There was a private bar.
The kind of bar that you could pull off a James Bond's way of ordering a drink.
There were lots of large seats in the middle.(Imagine yourself with the seats!)
and chandeliers everywhere to make the place look really exclusive.
Everything about this VIP Room really seemed perfect until I needed to do a minor business after having some drinks.
Gin:"Where is the VIP Toilet?"
waiter: "The toilet is at the end there sir" (Pointing at the general toilet used by all the low graded human beings outside the VIP Room)
Gin: "Look i think u did not hear me (Trying to act as a cocky rich kid), where is the VIP Toilet??"
Waiter: "there is no VIP toilet la boss. only that toilet over there"
THERE WERE NO VIP TOILETS IN THE ROOM!! I am VIP!! I cannot pee with other people nor use a tap that is over-used to wash hands after many "sticks".
Also I am not going out of the VIP Room that i may not have another chance of being in the next time i come clubbing in MOIS!
IS THIS HOW YOU SERVE VIP'S??

Origen (Origin)
Origen (Origin) comprende una serie de imágenes manipuladas que describen la evolución humana basada en la imaginación del artista Daniel Lee, quien propone diez etapas en la evolución partiendo de los peces (como el Celacanto) y pasando por los reptiles y los monos hasta llegar a los seres humanos.

Liopleurodon ferox
Liopleurodon ferox es el carnívoro mas grande que jamás ha existido (podía llegar a medir cerca de 25 metros con un peso de 50 toneladas), perteneciente al género Liopleurodon del grupo de los plesiosaurios, que vivieron en el Jurásico medio, hace aproximadamente 160 y 155 millones de años. Su impresionante dentadura estaba formada por gran cantidad de afilados dientes, con casi el doble de tamaño que los de un Tyrannosaurus, y con mandíbulas de casi 3 metros de longitud, lo suficientemente poderosas como para triturar los huesos de sus presas.
En la primera imagen vemos el Liopleurodon de DK en el Pantano del Amadorio. Las otras dos imágenes corresponden al Liopleurodon de Ivan Stalio.
Ver el clip de vídeo de un Liopleurodon cazando en YouTube
