Mideo Cruz's Art?

One basic measure of decency is doing what you do with/to your family. stick a d*ck on your mom's photo (as what the infamous Mideo did to Jesus') and see how everyone reacts. Art for art's sake is bull shit. Everything exists in a relationship, relativity, comparability, compatibility with all others around it. Otherwise, if art exists for itself, it must exist in a void. An art without boundaries is pollution, a trash--an entity which knows not its place.

There's such a thing as responsible artistry.
C'mon UP Fine Arts students! Things are getting contemporarily and neoliberally disgusting over there!

A Winter Project

I had sharpened my pencil this morning and set off to write something I have never attempted before--a novel. I've written poems, dreams, and short stories before but because of forces of circumstance I had to shelve off my drafts. As I dusted off my notebook, it seemed as if a hardening crust of tardiness slowly cracked and peeled off. This one is no different from an experience of rebirth we encounter as some rare moment in our lives. With fingers primed and emotions unsealed, no date can ever be better than today. I'm starting off and typing away.



My novel will be about a person who's always in the middle, a criticism of the golden mean. Whoever says that being in moderation, on average, and in between will ever be mostly good will be challenged to think again. I am not putting up a cerebral fist at Aristotle in any way. This novel is mostly a self-reflective one. I hope the future readers will find it a good mirror, an enlightening surface where they can see themselves being caught in a life full of averageness and non-difference from many points of comparison. As I write, it is also my hope that I can provide some allusions to break the monotonous drama in life.

First Love

Tried to translate in Korean lines from Adele's song First Love.

So little to say but so much time
많은 시간이 있지만 내 말할 것이 많지 않다.
Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind
내 빈 입에도 불구하고 내 고개 안에 말이 어슬렁 대다. 난 커피를 마시고 너는 밖에 몇번이고 응시한다.
Forgive me first love but we're through
우리..우리의 관계는 이제 끝이다.. 미안해 첫사랑..
This love has dried up and stay behind...
우리 사랑은 이미 바싹 마르고 뒤에 남았다...

Spa in Seoul

Only two weeks are left before the spring semester ends. Exams. Papers. Stress level: 100, Word count: 0.
OMG.
I had to do something to at least make my body feel relaxed. I hope my mind follows after the matter.
It took an hour and a half to go to a spa in Apgujeong, Seoul that I saw on TV. It is owned my Lee Mi Na, a Korean news anchor. As is expected of spas, the ambiance is very relaxing and the minty scent just adds up to the relaxing and "happifying" feeling. The attendants are very courteous, too. They ushered be to wait on the couch for a while and served me a good brew of jasmine tea. I changed my clothes to a white robe and had a foot bath. I got an hour-long massage and facial, which were really, really super nice. I can't describe with words the tactile satisfaction I got from it but it was sooOo good. I'll go back there again for another detox session.

They offer various services (different kinds of peels, slimming, Oxygen treatment, Power Massage for Men,gold face pack, etc.) but I only availed the basic facial and massage.

How to go to Spa d' El:
Take the orange line. Get of at Apgujeong Station (after Shinsa Station). Take exit 4 and walk straight. After around 30 steps, you'll see Body Shop to your right. Go straight ahead and you'll see Global Plastic Surgery. It's a huge building and you won't miss it. Turn right. Walk for about 30 seconds and you'll see a huge church (forgot the name but it's made of red bricks) to the right. Opposite that church is the Spa. It's located on the 6th floor.

피곤해서 압구정 Spa d' El 갔고 마사지 잘 받았어요. 진짜 좋고 만족이었어요. 스파 가는 길: 압구정역, 4출구 나가고 똑바로 가서 (한3분) Global 성형 외과 볼 수 있어요. 오른쪽가고 (한1분) 큰 교회 보고 Spa d' El 왼쪽에 있어요.
