In their creative processes, artists choose among the variety of art practices, media and styles. With technology as well as their own creativity, artists are enabled to cross boundaries. One boundary crossed is that of the popular and the seemingly inaccessible, and one form which does so is comics. To showcase this form, the Lopez Memorial Museum will hold a comics workshop called C2: Cartooning and
Comics on the four(4)Saturdays of February, beginning February 2.
Mr. Ariel Giovanni C. Atienza will facilitate the workshop. Fee of PhP 2,500.00 covers materials. Slots limited to 15 participants ages 13 and above. Reservations is a must.

Mr. Atienza has contributed to Philippine News in San Francisco, CA, Fusion magazine, and LIVEtheLIFE magazine. He has given talks on comics in various seminars in Metro Manila since 2004. C2: Cartooning and Comics workshop complements the exhibitions Dime a Dozen and Blur which are
ongoing until April 2008.

Right behind The Parklane Hotel is FASHION WALK. Many of the hip stores are there- Patrizia Pepe, Gas, Tsumori Chisato, Diesel, Fornarino, iBlues, i.t, Sisley, DKNY, Guess by Georges Marciano, Vivienne Westwood, A/X, D-Mop, Max Mara, Agnes B and Stefanel.
As we are getting more familiar with the place…. we discovered many good restaurants around the area and stumbled into this arcade with restaurants…..They were all hip and beautiful restaurants all lined up in a row.
We were only able to try 2 restaurants during this trip:
Delicious Kitchen recommended by ConCon and Sheeba too- crispy pork chop and cabbage rice. Decent place and price is very reasonable. ( off the Arcade- but parallel to it )
and Pasha
It is quite difficult to take photos in Hong Kong, so pardon some of the photos. They are very watchful especially since my camera is bigger than the normal pocket size digital camera. And even with the pocket size digital camera, they prohibit it so I have to hide until I get caught……..[email_link]
Park Lane Hotel We discovered this hotel from our friends Con Con and Sheeba. This is already our second time to stay here and it is perfect for us. We like it because it is conveniently located near the MTR ( subway ) which is a block away. The rooms are beautiful and cozy…. 
Haagen Dazs, HMV and Ikea’s entrance is right beside the side entrance of the hotel. 
Windsor House is right across – where there is Toys R”Us ( not as big and complete as the main one in Ocean Terminal but sill okay ), KFC, Mc Donald’s Royal Palace ( one of James’ favorite dimsum restos ) and the Computer Mall we always go to. 
At night, it is very lively and shops are open later till around 10 pm. Though shops open later in the morning – around 11 am. Which is sort of an advantage because the streets are not busy (which is totally the opposite from the rest of the day starting lunch time ) in the morning and you can get to the MTR right away and get to other places around Hong Kong without much chaos. 
And the most important is that there is a Wellcome convenience store open 24 hours right outside the hotel 🙂
Do try it if you want to stay somewhere different when in Hong Kong.

Whenever I hear and see my cousin, Jaime, sing, I want to cry…… it just happens when he comes out and starts to sing……. it’s because he has such a great singing voice… I am so proud to be his cousin…… the songs he chooses to sing are my type of songs and he changes the lyrics to fit the occassion and the person or whoever he is composing the song for so there is so much more meaning…………..I am your fan Jaims! I will listen to you anytime!
TIME OF YOUR LIFE
(original lyrics & music by Billie Joe Armstrong – rewritten lyrics by Jaime T. Pineda for the Starbucks pioneer partners 10th anniv dinner celebration) 
Ten years gone by so fast, ten years down by the road/Time grabs you by the wrist, directs you where to go/
You’ ve made the best / of these years, so don’t ask why/
It’s not a question, but a lesson learned in time/
You started it as pioneers, /and now you’re still alright./
You know you’ve had the time /of your life./
So take experience and knowledge in your mind/
They’ve helped you grow with pride in good health and good time/
People and memories all changing with style /For what it’s worth / it was worth all the while/
You started it as pioneers, and now you’re still alright./
You know you’ve had the time /of your life./ (2x)

Since Miguel was twelve years old, he was already treating his family and friends. He did not learn his practice from school, though he did graduate from De La Salle University where he took up Biology as his pre Med.
His technique is self taught……He does not prescribe any medicines, all his treatments are done with his hands. That for me is magical healing powers. He not only invented it, he even named it. Miguel calls it Myovasotherapy. “Myo”means muscle and “vaso” means the circulatory system. 
( Painting made by Miguel’s Mom hanging on his wall- also the family tree of Miguel )He deals with nerves, tendons, ligaments – He treats pains from sports or occupational injuries that occur in all soft tissues- golf elbow, migraines, pulled muscles, Sciatica, Stiff necks, Sprains, Tennis elbow, Tendonitis, TMJD (tempomandibularjoint disorder), Torn Rotator cuffs, frozen shoulders and others but I heard from Vina and Lisa that some girls at the badminton court have themselves treated even if they have no injury…. I wonder why? 🙂
His clinic reminds me of a spa and I like it so much because it is not intimidating, it gives the patient a more relaxed atmosphere….
