pinoy pride

how exciting!  two more reasons for us pinoys to be proud of!

well, here's another one:  new york-based mia herbosa.  she's just really so talented!

glad i got to see the show in ayala museum with you and ngow earlier.  this poster's her self portrait which she enjoys doing.

this was what i liked -- "the dancer".

i like how the subject is very modern and nontraditional -- a male, old (gay-looking) dancer.  i didn't like the price -- 90k!!!

this was what ngow liked -- it was of mia's daughter --  he liked the technique a lot.

this was what you liked -- although i just took your photo with it since the glass made it impossible to take the photo.  it was a sad & powerful piece, very unlike you but maybe it's your current broken arm that makes you relate to broken subjects :(

then we trekked to another place worth being proud of -- ac 632 -- did you know that that stands for area code 632 -- hence, manila?

this is what i WANT -- just one though. can't afford all haha!

this is what you liked, 

but i think it's only because you liked the similar piece from terence conran :)

yun lang...

window shopping

hey bionic woman :)  how's the new arm?  

i went malling last week and saw a few stuffs i thought you'd like (too).

first, these trash cans in office warehouse.  i heart them.  i want to buy them but there's really no space in my apt anymore.  i thought maybe i'd buy them for the empty plastic & glass bottles my helps collect to sell monthly...  but they said the cans won't fit a lot of bottles -- hehe.

so i thought maybe to use it to store wrapping paper because right now, i use glass vases which i think is not so practical...  watjatink?

second, went to true value, one of my fave stores.  i love it because it's so full of kitschy stuff.   like for example these vintage-looking jam jars for P700+ a dozen.  they'd be great for storage of knick knacks, for packaging gifts, or for center piece accessories during parties...  

saw this clock too!  it's on sale already because i guess no one buys it.  the eyes i think might be scary ones they start moving with the second hand -- but definitely love the kitschy-ness of it.

yun lang...
