Kiwi!

An apparently funny, objectively stupid, and ultimately touching short graphic animation that evokes a seemingly superficial side of me. Presenting, Kiwi.... (Thanks to Roxie for reminding me about this)


Kiwi can't fly, he can never fly.... Yet he wants to feel, to experience, the greatest leap any bird can ever achieve. Even if he already knows it isn't possible, he takes the risk, the chance. Even if everything he wants is an end in itself... a sad end at that....

There's a time when a man needs to fight and a time when he needs to accept that his destiny's lost, the ship has sailed and that only a fool will continue. The truth is I've always been a fool.

The Merman in Me

Since I was a kid, I have always had a fascination for sea creatures, especially mermaids and mermen (then, they were all mermaids to me, I didn't know merman existed in the dictionary). I was a Walter Mitty woolgathering about myself swimming aimlessly in the deep underwater seascape, with colorful corals and gracefully undulating schools of fish welcoming me to their humble abode. The feeling of it was surreal, it always rendered me futile with a big sigh, wishfully thinking my fantasy would had gone real.
