Standing tall with mechanical limbs

Image
  In a bustling, futuristic mega-city street stands an autonomous robotic statue resembling a 19th-century neoclassical hero, with an all-seeing gaze, reminding us of authoritative power and influence. Nu Jazz https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrxQKZRnAka3dliF7lp1-Ow Description In the heart of a mega city, amidst the bustle of 21st-century crowds, statues long forgotten stir to life. These once grand figures, now sleek, metallic sentinels, glide silently across the cityscape. Once symbols of history, they’ve become the guardians of a new age. Their mechanical limbs move harmoniously with the city’s rhythm, scanning, watching, and protecting. The past has been retooled for the present. No longer marble and bronze, they are now steel and circuit, a testament to the fusion of past grandeur with future innovation.

From Statues to Sentinels

Image
  Our Sentinel From Statues to Sentinels Narration You know, I never thought I’d find myself in the heart of this mega-city. One night, wandering through a hidden park, I discovered statues that seemed to be alive. Among the sculptures is Sir Cedric, a knight whose marble exterior shines like steel. He believed he was the protector of this marvellous city.  The protector of threats long gone and those yet to arrive. I had the moral purpose of showing him what the world had become; somehow, he showed me the courage to dispute it. Together, we faced a rogue state that threatened to tear our freedom apart. At that moment, I realized that history and the future combine to restrict our ambitions. Sometimes, enemies come in the most unexpected forms. With each challenge we forge ahead, there’s always room for opportunity, especially amidst chaos. And with a new opportunity, a new leader assumes dominion.

Woman with Flowers in Her Hair

Image
  Woman with Flowers in Her Hair Dusk Vignette The twilight hour weaves its tender shroud across the decaying streets as the last remnants of day’s warmth surrender to the cool breath of evening. She stands in the dim glow of lanterns flickering like dying embers, a melancholic and wild vision. Her hair, crowned with roses and entwined vines, blooms defiantly against the weary, withering city that crumbles around her. Beneath the flowers rests a serene yet haunted face, as if sorrow’s soft whispers have painted shadows beneath her eyes. The world stirs in echoes of forgotten grandeur, and she, like some mythic sentinel of the earth, is at once the bearer of life’s vibrant colour and the solemn mourner of its inevitable decay, a living embodiment of the cycle of life and death. Here, amidst the ruins, she is both the flower and the tombstone, standing silent as the day’s final breath collapses into night. Yet, there is something eternal in her stillness, as if in her fragile bloom l...

Im Missing Out and Wide Awake

Image
  Out and Missing The city never sleeps, and neither do I. As the sun dips below the horizon, a different world awakens and pulses with an intoxicating mix of energy and mystery. I'm Missing Out and Wide Awake Poem The metropolis lights flicker. My wide eyes. My racing pulse. I'm in fear of missing out. But when stillness descends. I am fully awake. Description The city never sleeps, and neither do I. As the sun dips below the horizon, a different world awakens and pulses with an intoxicating mix of energy and mystery. Nighttime in a mega city is a spectacle to behold—neon lights cutting through the darkness, the distant hum of traffic, and the allure of something always happening just around the corner. It's in these moments, wide awake and watching the city unfold, that I feel alive, and yet, there's a nagging feeling of anticipation as if I'm missing out on something intriguing.

A Taste of Bratwurst

Image
  Some experiences are truly timeless Story: The vibrant energy draws me in as I stroll through the bustling Queen Victoria Market. The scents of fresh produce and sizzling food fill the air, but the irresistible aroma of bratwurst captures my attention. I approach the stall, where a friendly vendor greets me warmly. He asks if it’s my first time trying a bratwurst, and I can’t help but share my grandmother’s stories about this place. He carefully crafts a special roll for me, topped perfectly with mustard and barbeque sauce. I take my first bite, and the flavours explode in my mouth, flooding me with memories of my grandmother’s kitchen. At that moment, I realized this wasn’t just food; it was a connection to my past, a taste of family heritage. And a reminder that some experiences are truly timeless.

A Leader needs a Dog

Image
  Story: As the sun set and the world became soaked in a blend of golden and red hues, a dog sat and waited silently for his Leader, reflecting on past battles against foes and mighty wins. The world moved dizzily as noble battles fought in the hidden corners of his soul: despair, hope, and the relentless pursuit of truth. With knowing eyes, the loyal dog stood on guard in an unspoken pact of guardianship and love — a sacred ritual in refusing to admit farewell.  As darkness fell, the dog stood against the backdrop of an ever-changing world. He stood in dignity, a silent sentinel, a guardian of a bygone era etched into his eyes.

Midnight Passage Under the City's Skin

Image
  Midnight Passage Under the City's Skin As the couple walks under the city overpass, they feel the weight of existence around them. The oppressive surroundings of steel and concrete remind them of their solitary existence in the universe. They assimilate into the nothingness that threatens to engulf them with each step. The lighting casts their shadows as disjointed silhouettes, reflecting the disorganised nature of existence. They feel like objects in the enclosed space, and the unsettling realisation of life's inherent lack of meaning causes nausea. Poem: Living under the city overpass Living under the city overpass. A couple senses the heavy burden of their existence. Steel and concrete loom over them. Underscoring their isolation in the vast universe. With each step, they blend into the void. Feeling its engulfing presence. Shadows stretch into broken shapes. Mirroring the chaos of life itself. In this confined space, they are mere objects among objects. A nauseating epiph...

Messages Under The Bridge

Image
 Artist's Description: As I was walking along San Lorenzo in Manila, I noticed that I was passing under a bridge and was intrigued by the messages on the walls. It dawned on me that I was walking in the footsteps of Don Bosco. The situation we find ourselves in is not set in stone, and it is not about exerting power over others. Instead, it is about empowering others. As a society, we often find ourselves at a crossroads. Education is our best tool to illuminate the path ahead. We must lead our communities towards a future where diversity is celebrated, fairness is upheld, and the human spirit thrives. Artwork Review: This piece by multimedia artist JJFBbennett, titled "I Found Messages Under The Bridge," is a provocative synthesis of realism and surrealism. The image captures an urban landscape under a bridge, often associated with transition and overlooked narratives. The juxtaposition of the urban setting with the serene, almost sanctified figure of Don Bosco creates a...

The Towering Towers of Makati

Image
  The Towering Towers of Makati The towering Makati buildings scraped the sky, their cold and chrome structure glistening in the tropical night. Their windows shone like stars, taking out the stars God put into the dark sky. Down here, people flow through the street, making busy hustle and bustle sounds. Makati throbs with a promise - good or bad, I didn't know - but it hooked me. The whiff of adrenaline-like risk and danger. My heart was beating faster than usual. Makati was alive and about to enter right into the thick of it. Walking the Dogs in Makati Makati Nights: City of Dreams or Dangerous Gamble?

Nothing short of astonishing

Image
  Nothing short of astonishing Amid the concrete jungle stands the most luxurious and opulent oasis - "The Greenbelt". It's like a sparkling jewel box that overflows onto the pavement, surrounded by gleaming buildings that reek of wealth.  The restaurants here are nothing short of culinary temples, offering unique and exquisite tastes unmatched elsewhere. Their prices are enough to make an average credit card sweat. The waiters glide around like genies, their polished silverware outshining their impeccable attire. As I sat sipping a mango cocktail, my eyes were fixed on the people passing by. I had the curiosity of an anthropologist exploring a diamond mine. The audacity of a Ferrari racing with a swarm of Jeepneys on the busy streets was nothing short of astonishing!
