objectivity subjectivity reactions
Postmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths.
running fear rivers
If our greatest fear is to sink away alone and unremembered, the brutality that time will inflict upon each of us will always run stronger than any river's murky waves.
tyrants humanity tails
The slaves of today will become the tyrants of tomorrow--the proletariat overthrows the hegemon to become the hegemon itself, only to be eventually overthrown by a proto-hegemon that will in turn lose its position. It is this dizzying cycle that keeps humanity chasing the tail it lost millennia ago
home long champion
I'm home and safe and filled with the comfort of being somewhere I've already been. The ruckus of homecoming is brutally enjoyable and everyone makes me feel like a champion. And all I had to do was stay away long enough.
memories cities shopping
You can’t bring an unwritten place to life without losing something substantial. Manila is the cradle, the graveyard, the memory. The Mecca, the Cathedral, the bordello. The shopping mall, the urinal, the discotheque. I’m hardly speaking in metaphor. It’s the most impermeable of cities. How does one convey all that?
home away-from-home honest
To be an honest writer, you have to be away from home, and totally alone in life.
telling-the-truth martyr changed
History is changed by martyrs who tell the truth.
patience perfect perspective
Sometimes one waits too long for the perfect moment before snapping the picture. You never realize that you needed was to change perspective.
change hurt responsibility
Piracy is important to talk about. It's harming the music industry. It hurts all of us. The public needs to understand every time they buy a pirated CD, they hurt the industry. The only ones who can change that are the fans and the people that buy CDs. It's everybody's responsibility to prevent it.
distance long-distance long
I maintain my sanity by keeping my distance.
careers singing enjoyable
The most enjoyable part of my career is singing live.
my-family adamant private-life
I am very adamant about keeping my private life private. I don't prefer to talk about my family.
generous
I'm dangerously generous.
rocks interesting musical
I don't like rock. Honestly, I like to listen to it, but it's not for me. There's a lot of musical genres that I find interesting, but they don't suit me. It's one thing to listen to different genres, but to perform a genre that isn't yours is counterproductive.
