Let Me Try Again.

I'm gonna try again.
An important event is worth all the effort and time and attention and frustration and devotion.

No matter how elusive or complex the project is, you have to give your 100% if you really want to succeed at it, and attain the desired maximum results.

Questioning the process is valid; wondering at the intricacies of it, acceptable.

Time is ticking. Countdown is essential.

If you defied oceans and mountains, seas and valleys to reach a destination then, you've gotta get dressed up for storms, hales, and dry spells along the way. A scout should always be prepared, as astronauts prepare rigidly to reach the moon and other heavenly bodies.

No need to debate whether your dream project is attainable or not; you cannot be sure unless you try all possible avenues. People bet on lottery using all sorts of number combinations, relying on dreams, random choices, lucky numbers and voodoo, sometimes.

I don't intend to use voodoo, yet.

Humour is essential when facing difficult personages and projects.

So, for second chances or try outs, psyching yourself becomes imperative. Its' like having abandoned a work out for sometime, the come back to the regimen can be a daunting task.

Plus I found the environment in Manila to be a lot different than the East Coast. Manilenos are still conservative like the true Pinoy so project appraisal, feasibility and actual implementation tend to be slower.

Let me try again, as Frank Sinatra sang.

By the way, I heard there's a museum called Ayala Museum; a museum is a favorite place for me when I go exploring places. In fact, we were discussing in Toronto the lack of museums, botanical gardens and theatres in Manila.

So, I'm gonna check out the Ayala Museum on Thursday, September 24th at 5 pm then head to the Museum Cafe at 7 pm. I want to sample their Asian Fusion cuisine; sounds interesting.

Hey, I can find my way now since I bought a map of Metro Manila and a map of Makati and Greenbelt, owing to the lack of GPS capabilities here.

The museum has a new exhibit , Ring of Fire - the First South East Asian Ceramics Festival starting 21st September till 4th October. I wonder if it has the staples of museums: ancient bones and art. Ancient things fetch higher prices on the market; they're rare allright and premium.
