xoxoxo and more...

In time the heart heals by itself with the noise and the faces familiar to you.

It then hit me that the world does not end after a breakup.No matter how hard i wished that that there was a rewind button.But there isn't,and in the end I pay the price.I'm also facing the cold hard truth that i'm bumming myself. i just updated my resume and i try to enjoy myself by drowning into the noise that keeps me alive somehow .Going to routine that makes me different kept a bit grounded even for a while.Last night's trip to West Gallery at Quezon city was a relief because i get to see artworks,made by some of my friends Dex Fernandez and Mark Andy Garcia.Dex's "xoxoxo" exhibit is catered for the erotically delighted,where he teases the audience with colors and patterns that censors the pornographic material yet it felt the intensity through its lines and cutouts.Andy's show "Acquainted with the Night" showcases his brighter perspective in his life. As always, he never fails to emphasize is view on family life as his foundation,underneath his personality as a an aloof character.Other works featured were from Jigger Cruz's "Dead End" where the art for the normal meets the mundane is very possible as he splashes his oil paint over the flat ones as misadventures.The last one included on the show was from Bjorn Calleja's "Some Failed Attempts in Creating A Good image for Painting".Much filled with things we see everyday,he paints the picture with pop culture in a way that it gives room for us to see more of what each stroke does to complete the picture.

Last night was also a great night because i get to reflect myself and what i really want as I see the people who knew me.I forget that I firmly wanted people to see that side of me outside work because this is the only way i know how to appreciate what life brings despite heartbreak and changes.And I still want to learn what tomorrow will bring me as its gift.

hello i'm old....

what's new at the scene?personally,i lost track of everything fresh and i'm starting to appreciate old songs and the ones from (ugh,bite me) Glee.I'm beginning to have a mature ear (if that is really existent),which is why I start to have LSS on some pop songs.just like that Hugh Grant movie 'music and lyrics'-not the one with Drew Barrymore in it, but the reaaallly cheesy one -'Pop goes my heart' (Thanks red and nikki for that lss,it's still friggin sticks to me like glue)

oh yeah.i go crazy over electric percussions.

LADY GAGA - Born This Way (Cover)

Ah sorry,a very late post.Finally, after a somewhat slew of mediocre youtube versions of new songs,i find Maria Aragon's take of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" amazing and fresh.She's so cute,the way she sings the high pitch.It's not everyday that a superstar would tweet about a kid with all respect,you know. Hats off to Maria!!! She did awesome. :D

Silver Gold Amazing (Demo) by My Parasol

i like art. it's unpretentious. and raw. and it creates better bridges to community. though I'm not good at it,i like to think that i have a huge and healthy appreciation for arts more than any categories i would like to bring up with,well art AND life itself.

enter Ferdinand Center for the Creative.

I believe in this group because their aim is to teach,provide art to the less fortunate.
I also have this strong belief that art will eventually rule the earth.

i got this message from ferdinandcc's main man, Lester nelson, last month,asking if i can do some stints on interviewing some of the graphic artists here in manila.without batting an eyelash,i had to say yes.

now,i have to say that i have NO proper knowledge of theories or technicalities when it comes to graphic design,but i know how to distinguish pieces that stand out.because i think that those pieces makes a person different.

my first interview was for graphic artist Dan Matutina.
he's the main man for Idea's - it's a design & communications agency that helps design to nonprofits and NGOs.

If that’s not enough, he also teaches at the University of the Philippines College of Fine Arts.

for days, i had been emailing Lester back and forth about questions we can ask to Dan,until those were finalized and i had to email Dan.I was nervous because,heck,that's my first time and I feel like a groupie.

Finally,i had a reply from Dan for the interviews.yay!!
being a wreck for a few days paid off after all.

anyway.here's the link:
