Congratulations to Ton Concepcion for a successful race! We need more people like Ton who can help make our world a better place.  An idea or a desire to help is more meaningful when it becomes a reality and action is taken to implement and achieve that desire.  It takes a lot of guts and a lot of hard work to organize an event, and you lead it and you made it all happen! 

The race was successful because:

1.)  You were able to raise funds to preserve our environment, to save Tubbataha reef

2.)  The event created awareness of a beautiful place, nature, and in our very own country

3.)  You created a wholesome atmosphere for kids to enjoy and at the same time learn and help save their environment in their small little way.  Even pregnant women walked the race…It was a race that everyone who wanted to support the cause could join.

4.)  Thousands of people supported and joined the race

5.)  And everyone enjoyed!!! 

Looking forward to the next race in 2009!

Chelsea Market

By | Foodie | 4 Comments

A nice bestfriends lunch place, thanks to Rina for finally making me try Chelsea Market.  We have been wanting to have family dinner here but no reservations are accepted during weekends.  So a big group would be difficult to turn down without reservations.  We will definitely go back with the family or in a big group – Good value for money – New York portions -generous and can be shared.  159420038503_0_bg.jpg  996230038503_0_bg.jpg We were early and luckily to be one of the first to sit down… beautiful interiors…casual and cozy…..

We wanted to share one dessert as we were stuffed already- we asked the waiter for the best selling dessert and he said the Four-Layer Toblerone torte – it was really good!!!

Through typology, photography, illustration and other graphic elements, one communicates ideas and meanings visually.  Known as graphic design, “it stands apart from more traditional arts like painting, printmaking and sculpture because its ubiquitous role it plays in mass media and technology.”  To give an overview of the history of graphic design in the Philippines and the contemporary graphic design scene in the Phililppines, the Lopez Memorial Museum and the Museum Foundation of the Philippines, Inc. has invited Teammanila to give a talk.

Team Manila is a multi-disciplinary design studio based in the Philippines whose broadcast and print designs have won numerous awards from MTV Pilipinas, PDI among others.   It was formed to educate the eyes and taste of the public through its output and work.  Team Manila intends to make a lasting mark on visual culture and to contribute to the graphic design landscape, both locally and internationally.”
