Well, I'm just someone who can't avoid using all of our 5 senses: sight, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling. If we all have these different senses then why not try to fully use and go beyond them?
So, let's start with good food and good taste! Oh, I can't help it ... Eversince I read
The Face on Your Plate (Jeffrey Moussaieff, best-selling author of
When Elefants Weep) I start to freak out a bit everytime I see meat or dishes that once had a soul ... Is it a crime to eat this? Or, is this good at all? Am I being nice to Mother Earth and all Earthlings? It is a very hard question.
Of course it's OK to like TASTING some fresh sea bass, flounder & pink fatty tuna sashimi with some nice sour salad & tendon. Fish is good. Caldeirada de pescado. Pulpo con cachelos. Grilled saba. Ceviche. Leche de tigre. Noodles are fantastic. Ramen, udon & pad thai. But let's be honest, I mainly survive on soya (miso and tofu in general, love mabu dofu) and all sorts of cheese (...) with rye bread and daily I have seitan-dishes, you know, hip veggie food. Do eat meat and other "faces", please forgive me.
I like the SMELL of Bioré (Japanese soap) for my skin eversince I knew it and always need to have some umeboshi in the fridge just in case, I like shizowakame and probably one of my guilty pleasures is to eat and smell (!) nattou, it's sticky and smells really bad, but I just love it.
Other essentials of the good life are being with my friends. From time to time I need to see certain Japanese friends to FEEL connected with my roots. Their way of thinking and expressing themselves remind me about my culture and family. As well for my Belgian friends, they give me their type of conversation I so much need.
Talking about feelings, my life might have been a mess at some point growing up - I was born as a Japanese baby in Las Palmas (Canarian Islands) and lived in Belgium for a long long time and am now back in Spain. I am Belgian now, just like Toots Thielemans, can you tell? Let's say I'm sort of an Amélie Nothomb case - but the same big fuzz has also contributed to have developed different strong inner values. I just enjoy being part of the Culture Club and ... How could I possibly live without one of the most beautiful experiences one can have called dancing?
I adore the SIGHT of the mountains, I like messy gardens, I could stare at my lovely cute and small, black and white lighhearted cat Niñachan as if she were a baby, same goes for old dogs, I also like to observe people, a lot ... I stare at their looks: especially their haircuts. I like women who look like Louise Brooks, but prefer them Gloria Steinem. Also like to stare at people at transient places, that's why I like Edward Hopper paintings but I would never put it on my wall, same thing happens with Severínovich Malévich. Like to visualize and imagine things like are represented in fantastic cosmic visionary art like the
Sacred Mirrors or the
Celestial Visitations.
I am without a doubt a HEARING person, I like words, books, conversation and music and am very sensitive to what people say and the tones and voices they use. I like being by myself with inspiring literature and would sometimes take some time off once in a while just to read all day, it makes me travel in my mind. I appreciate it to hear good music ...

Nov 26 2009 3:22 PM
Es un placer para nosotros invitaros a la próxima fiesta en Garoa (viernes 27 de noviembre). Esta vez la
vamos a liar!! . Esto es un llamamiento a la gente que no sólo disfruta de la
compañía de sus amigos y de unos ricos copazos. Si no que para él, la música si
cuenta, y, a parte de estos divertimentos tan patrios como juntarse y beber,
gustan también de bailar, o simplemente de dar placer al oído y a la mente. Y
hacemos este llamamiento precisamente porque sin vosotros no somos nadie,
porque los pocos sitios musicalmente agradables y de calidad, están llenos, son
caros y hay pocos... Y habrá menos si no los frecuentamos y apoyamos. Desde
Garoa queremos emprender nuevos interesantes proyectos culturales, pero
acabarán en fiestas larios y pachangueo guarrero sin vosotros, amigos del Rock
y de la buena música.
DJ Koke estará a cargo de los platos con toda su pirotecnia musical preparada y
lista para explotar la pelvis del más pintado. Electrónica; funk, afro, latin
& rares grooves; club; nu jazz; turntablism y mucho más. Todo mezclado y remezclado
para la pista de baile.
Envía este comentario a quien creas que le pueda interesar, si lo envías a
100 personas mercadona te regala un vale de 100 euros en compras, es verdad, te
lo juro, yo ya tengo el vale en casa, y así de paso colaboras en comprar unas
piernas para nuestro amigo Abdul Hamás Andará, por cada email que mandes
podremos comprar un tornillo legs special :)
Un cordial saludo!!

Release Notes:
Caffix Records from Mexico brings to us their 4th release and 3rd compilation entitled "Inner Belial".
In early Christian writings, Belial was identified first with an angel of confusion and lust, created after Lucifer. Paradoxically, some apocrypha credit Belial as being the father of Lucifer and the angel that convinced him to wage a rebellion in Heaven against “God”.
Taken from the darkest chapters of human psyche; Báalam, Caffix Records manager/owner; brings together this album with some of the twistiest melodies out there.
Spiced up with powerful guitar riffs, fat bass lines and macabre atmospheric sounds; “Inner Belial” promises to take you on a trip to the underworld by the hand of some of the newest and most acclaim dark shamans in the psy scene.
