Beauty comes in different shapes and sizes and so does art.
We were at the mall, just another bonding moment for friends. Then, we came across this art exhibit at the Mega Atrium. There were paintings which used the violin as its canvas. They were displayed in such a way that from afar it would seem like they were floating violins. We don’t play the violin but I love violin music.
We went inside the exhibit hall and we were surprised to see paintings of bigger women this time, not on the violin but on the usual canvas. Like me, my friend is a plus size girl too. So were trying to look at the bodies of the models on the paintings whether they are clothed or not. Honestly, I was reminded of myself. It was as if there was a mirror in front of me.
It was my first time and my friend’s as well to go to a free art exhibit. Another surprise came to us when the artist himself came to us and even shook our hands. He told us that he was a ‘fat fetish’. He loves painting women like us. It was weird enough that we saw paintings of bigger women and it was even weirder when he approached us.
We were even invited to see the special paintings that were not yet part of the exhibit and so we did. We were shown more paintings and it bothered me that all paintings seem to be dark. Dark hues dominated the canvas though the artist seemed like not a dark person but a fun person actually. Well, I really know nothing about artists.
The small conversation about the paintings ended quickly and my friend and I decided to leave and when we were already far from the exhibit, that was when I realized that I still have an ‘art article’ to write.
Sighs. I could have had a longer conversation with that artist. Nonetheless, it was already enough that I was proven that art really is something unpredictable and it really comes in different shapes and sizes.

Almost Alice Wonders
By Augie Monica A. Miclat
This is a call to the people who have not watched Alice in Wonderland (including me :( )
No time for movies for now but I have time for music and ‘Almost Alice’ was definitely something I enjoyed. All songs were likeable. I only got the chance to hear all sixteen tracks through the wonders of the information superhighway and had a few tracks saved on my mp3.
The great thing about the album is that every song has is almost different then again; each one has that ‘something’ and collectively, all the songs are pleasing enough that you would love to hear it over and over again.
I especially adore’ Welcome to Mystery’ by plain White T’s it reminded me of a Beatles song that I hear almost every weekend back home. I was surprised to find ‘The Technicolor Phase’ by Owl City on the album. I love that song the first time I heard it months ago.
If you have not watched the movie and you enjoyed the ‘Almost Alice’, I guess you better find some free time to go to a cinema and feast not only your ears but your eyes as well.
Over all, Almost Alice is an album most of you guys will enjoy whether you have watched the movie or not but I guess I would have appreciated the album more if I have watched the movie.
Free tickets, anyone? :)

Make up is not a vice
As fashion styles evolves in our modern world today, the make up styles has been revived and restored by people who are really fascinated in beautifying and making their selves fabulous.
Not all people consider make ups. Only few are having fun in using beauty products. And I know that beauty products such as make ups are considered vice in the eyes of many.
Unfortunately, make ups and other cosmetics is not really a vice for most women. In spite of this, the use of make ups increases women's beauty. Although some say simplicity is beauty, and putting such make ups doesn't make you simple, it never bothers me to put make ups on my face.
With the use of light make ups through your face, it can help you to look even younger. It helps you to lessen your stress and somewhat refreshes you. Aside from this, it can help you to look more fabulously during special events and occasions.
Wearing make ups is not bad yet we must know how to use it properly. Once we knew how to apply it, it can never bring you harm. Just grab the original and not the fake ones.

Rugs to Riches
Humans are only humans. Some are born under the riches of their ancestors while others are extremely doing their best just to survive in their daily living.
A native man named Luisito Dazo was born on July 13, 1961. He grew up in Tibag, Pulilan, Bulacan as the fourth child of his parents. As a young one, he never hesitate just to try his very best to reach his dream and to become successful in life.
He finished his elementary through the help of his relatives. He became slave and tutor of his cousins. With the help of his determination and perseverance, he never quit on every challenges that came to his life.
At early age, he suffered many pains and trials because of poverty. Poverty that weakens him sometimes and poverty that motivates him to strive harder.
He studied vocational course and graduated after six months.
He worked on Luchi’s sweet delicacies as a clerk. Years ago, he was promoted as the personal assistant of his boss. He experienced working with high ranked business men. He attended different gatherings which help him a lot for his self esteem. He practiced managing the business and handled the payroll.
He met his wife Flora somewhere in Manila. They are blessed by four children. They decided to transfer in Nueva Ecija yet Luisito still working in Bulacan. Flora’s family became very unfair to Luisito. He was discriminated by many. They don’t give their trust to him.
Years after, Luisito decided to follow the business of his older sister. Being an intellectual being, having lots of guts and support by his friends, he started to sell caskets. He started it by building small branch near their house in Zaragoza. He contacted different people who can help him on his business. He met different people until his business become recognized by many.
After the hardships and sufferings he had experience, Luisito became successful. Those people who did not valued his worth, are now the people who bowed to him.
He continues his business and until now, his business and service to people made him known, Dazo Funeral Services.
