I just came back from a session at the Artjamm, an art studio where friends get together to paint. I did two paintings, one resembles the Windows background and another an abstract painting of a California poppy. The nature scene attracts me as it resides deep inside me - scenes of the countryside where I grew up in California - the beautiful colors of green and gold.
The painting session including supply cost HK$330, quite a deal I think. I would have spent the same amount buying someone else's copycat painting. Now I have bragging rights included. I am in fact surprised at how nicely they came out. I feel happy to have found an additional event to do here in Hong Kong, where activities normally seem to be confined to getting drunk in LKF or occasional hiking.
My friend A on the way back mentioned that marriage is necessary for forming families and having kids. One can't always confuse the kids and introduce new partners to them. That, I have to agree.
Do I want kids? I suppose everyone has kids. I am not opposed to them but I also really do like my freedom. Are they worth the sacrifice? A few times before when I had loved or had crush on the guys before, I would have liked to have kids with them. But if I were to settle for a guy, can I really create another human being into the world with that person? That is a hard question. If I am not so into having kids, should I do it anyway because that is the thing to do? Is it still necessary to get married then?
Tomorrow I'm off to Vietnam. For the first part of the trip (five days or so) I would be traveling alone. I hope I get some inspiration form the trip. I will be visiting Ho Chi Minh City followed by Danang and Hoi An.
