Ubud Bali Indonesia is the location where I was for the first time fell in love with him, my first love. At the time he wore boots and a leather jacket, smiling sweetly (and too sweet at this time in my memory. I really miss you, dammit!) and he invited me to sit at his table. He ordered two bottles of dark beer. We went to a discotheque near "Topi Koki" restaurant in Legian. We went to his hotel then we were making out without taking off our underwears. He was a man with cold eyes. There's a scar on the tip of his right lip, a tattoo on his left thigh and needle marks on several parts of his body skin, and --- actually --- a very tender heart. Although he was a former drug user, but his love for me could make him leave his bad habits.
Ahh, ... can you see that? My mind always likes to wander when my physical is still always with my beloved fiancee; will always be our greatest baby. They both are two important men in my life: my fiance and my baby. And I should not have to ... tsk ... why am I like this?

► Viewfinder - Garbage Homes. Published on Feb 1, 2013 :: Ingrid Vaca Diez is on a mission to build better homes for the poor. With few funds and little support, she uses the only resource she can find in abundance - empty plastic bottles. Her own life in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, is one of relative comfort but she is shocked by the rising level of poverty she sees around her. Though completely self-taught, she designs and builds new homes using recycled plastic bottles filled with dirt as the "bricks". So far, she has built 10 of these homes. The people she is trying to help are rural, indigenous migrants, often living in single room, dirt floor shacks.
Ingrid picks her projects based on the urgency of a family's need. It is through her work that we will observe the broader social and economic problems facing the poor in Santa Cruz.(VIDEO)
