Calle28

Minsan sa buhay natin ay tatahak tayo ng sangang daan. Isang takpo sa ating buhay na kailangang mamili...kailangan gumawa ng pagpapasya. Ganito rin sa industriya ng paggawa ng patalastas at sa kursong ito naranasan natin ang mamili ng daang tatahakin.

Ang ilan sa atin ay pinili ang kanto ng sining kung saan dadalhin mo ang mga kulay, hugis, at mga larawan upang makipag-ugnayan. Ang iba naman ay tumungo sa kanto ng pagsulat kung saan babaunin mo ang mga wika at ang mga kahulugan nito, ang mga sari-saring tunog at mga kwentong isasalaysay. At ang iba’y tatahakin ang kanto patungo sa pakikipag-ugnayan dala-dala ang kahusayan sa pagplaplano at pakikipagtalastasan.

Tulad ng anu mang daanan, may mga babalang nakaabang. Sa iyong pagtahak sa iyong kinabukasan maaring “No Entry” ang iyong madatnan. Huwag mag-alala, may tamang panahon sa lahat at muli’y magbubukas ang mga oportunidad. At pag ikaw ay nandoon na maari mong makita ang babalang “Heavy Traffic Ahead”. Nakakainip at parang di ka na umuusad. Kaunting tiis at ikaw ay makakarating din sa iyong patutunguhan. Minsan naman ay may makikita kang “U-Turn”. Isang pagkakataon na mag-iba ng daan o maaring isang pagsubok kung itutuloy mo pa.

Kaya ating tandaan sa ating paglalakbay ang tatlong bagay. Una, alamin ang iyong pupuntahan at alamin kung paano makakarating doon. Pangalawa, huwag kang susuko. Bako-bako man ang daan, masikip man o matraffic tiyak na may gantimpala ang magtitiis. At pangatlo, mag-enjoy ka! Hanapin mo ang magpapasaya sa iyo at matuto sa lakbayin ng buhay. Kaya huwag natin kalimutan ang mga ito at tiyak lahat tayo malayo ang mararating.

Bohol Road Trip Part 2

The Bohol Road Trip Continues...
 
My second day in Bohol was full packed. We started early in the morning and visited the famous Bohol Landmark; the Sandugo Monument. The first peace treaty made by the Philippines with a foreigner was held in Bohol, between Datu Sikatuna & Miguel Lopez de Legazpi of Spain through a blood compact. Every year Bohol celebrates the Sandugo Festival to commemorate this event. After a short stop in the monument we proceeded to Bacleon Church-one of the oldest churches in the Philippines. The convent annex to the church was made into a school & a museum. The museum contains rare religios relics with gold accents & precious stones.

Along the way we noticed another Sandugo Site. It is believed that this is the actual site where the blood compact happened because of the presence of a well found in the area as described in some historical accounts. We were made to wear some costumes and took some pictures before leaving for the Tarsier Sanctuary where we will meet this fist-size primate. After some picture taking with the Tarsier we passed by Loboc; famous for its River and Children’s Choir and the Man-Made Forest to get to Carmen to see the Chocolate Hills. Though the hills are spread out in other towns of Bohol they are mostly concentrated in Carmen. Almost uniform in size & shapes, the Chocolate Hills are trully a natural wonder. My 2nd day Road Trip ended in Punta Cruz where one can find a triangular watch tower oversees the seas South of Bohol and gives an excellent view of the neighboring islands of Bohol.

Bohol Road Trip Part 1

Bohol is one of my dream destinations. I was always fascinated by this charming island in the Visayas. It was divine intervention that my professor in my masteral studies assigned me to write about and design a catalogue for  Wee-Wee Seloterio’s Solo Exhibit in CCP. Ate Wee as I call her is an artist based in Bohol. She had been inviting me to visit their place and finally in 2009, I was able to fulfill one of my dream destinations.

Ate Wee along with her family hosted me in Tagbilaran and toured me around the island, road trip style. Riding in their 4x4 SUV, we went from one tourist destination to another. Our first stop was the Dauis Church. The architecture was gothic as characterized by pointed towers and windows. What’s fascinating about this church is the fresh water spring inside, being near the sea, it is unusual to have such. People say, this water has miraculous power. Afterwhich, we went to the Hinagdanan Cave, where one can see an small underground lagoon.
Our next stop was the Bohol Bee Farm. Nestled in lush forest, it was amazing to see this resort at the cliff with the view of the wide sea. Serving organic salads and other dishes, Bohol Bee Farm is a beautiful place for honymooners-private, quiet & secluded.

Our last stop for that day was the Panglao Islands. It’s clear blue water and powdery white sand are the perfect ways to end my first day of Road Trip in Bohol.

Galal Art Exhibit Opening Night

Galal Art Exhibit Opening Night
August 18, 2012

Kaleidoscope is an instrument where one can view different patterns of colors & shape. But despite its beauty, only one person can see it at a time; you can’t share what you see with others. Sometimes, that is the case for our local artists. What is art if it can’t be shared? What is a message if it can’t be communicated? The Galal Art Exhibit simply wants to do that; to share the artworks of our Kapampangan artist to the public. The exhibit hopes to give a platform to up & coming kapampangan artists and to become a showcase of what the local art scene is.

The exhibit features 15 Kapampangan Artists who strive to establish their respective careers in the Arts. Their works are done in oil, acrylic, water color & mixed media using various styles and techniques. The Prin couple paints nature in impressionist style, the Pererras siblings; Eduardo, Eliseo, Eric & Edu, work on presenting daily grind in cubism & realism. On the other hand Aries Tiglao’s works represents local scene with stylized objects in clean & flat colors while Jonathan Castro’s works are conceptual using religious icons in an unconventional way. Other featured artists are: Nick Cunan, Arnel Garcia, Pat Mendoza, Joseph Prin, Nards Tulabut, Ner Vitug and Jojoy Zabala.

The Galal Art Exhibit is presented by Arts Design Library together with Galal Art Promotion Center, an organization founded by Mr.& Mrs. Rem Prin to assist kapampangan artists and promote their works.

The exhibit will run from August 18-Sept. 18 2012 at the Arts & Design Library, Unit 204, 2F, Brickyard Arcade, Greenfields Square, Greenfields, Sindalan City of San Fernando.
