ManilART 2013 : The Philippines' Biggest Visual Arts Fair

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Everyone of us is all excited to attend the 5th edition of ManilART - the biggest visual art fair of the Philippines. It is now being called as ManilART 2013 : Celebrating Variety.

It gives me great pleasure to see wonderful masterpieces created by many of our remarkable artists, all on display in one magnificent venue for everyone to appreciate.

Clearly, this event will be arousing the interests of many creatively-inclined individuals who favor art passionately. I am one of those that gets easily awed by the creative efforts of our artists especially if their works brings out intense meaning or reflections from the inner soul.

I will never pass an opportunity as awesome as this. This will definitely go to my priority of events list since I have been a lover of the arts since childhood. Call me a frustrated artist who's initial liking of a course was Fine Arts, but many have said that there is no money in art. Because I was young, and still under the care of my parents, I followed their advice and ended up with an Engineering course. Nevertheless, my love for the arts persisted in everything that I do.

The Simpsons : One Major Character Will Be Sent to the Grave!

Wazzup Pilipinas!

OMG! Their killing off one of the major Simpsons characters!!! Who do you think it will be?

I've been a fan of the series even though there are new similarly-themed cartoons where the primary star is a family. We are all familiar with the likes of Family Guy, and American Dad, and even the Cleveland Show.

But none of this new ones beat the original yellow-skinned family - The Simpsons.

Family guy, and the rest of them, stopped being funny pretty fast in my eyes, whilst the Simpsons still makes me chuckle.

If they are sending one of the "major" characters to the grave, I just hope its not one of the Simpsons family members. That will be too devastating.

I know The Simpsons is not of Filipino make, but I believe all of us grew up with them as one of our favorite cartoon characters with really "intense" and graphical representations of a not-so-typical family living in a crazy neighborhood called Springfield.
