I am so glad I brought my camera that evening even if Sonny declined my request to feature his place….As soon as I entered the house, I had to get my camera and insisted because it would be such a pity not to have shared a beautiful place.  Thank you to Sonny and Tootsy for inviting us to your beautiful home and allowing me to share it at Heart2Heart!  Every HOME has a HOME in Heart2Heart!   

I was very happy to find out that their home was done by their sister and my friend, Anna.  It may not be a new house, but it was still beautiful and had so much character.  I hope to feature more of Anna’s work in the future.

And what an interesting collection of art pieces!

I-Land

By | Arts and Culture, Entertainment | One Comment

 From Malu Gamboa who is part of the Asian Cultural Council ( ACCP ) Foundation Inc. of the Philippinesi_landflyer08_55×85.jpg

 

What happens when the HULA meets HIP-HOP?

Come to “I Land” and find out.  This is Manila’s first must-see show of the year.  It was a big hit off-Broadway and its run has been very well-received by critics. The CCP and the Asian Cultural Council Foundation Inc. of the Philippines are presenting “I LAND” for a limited run on January 22, Thursday (Gala Night at 8 p.m.) with regular performances on Jan. 23, Friday and Jan. 24, Saturday (8 p.m.) and Jan. 25, Sunday (3 p.m.) at the Tanghalang Aurelio Tolentino (The Little Theatre) of the CCP. 

In the New York run, audiences came back to see the show more than once! Get a sneak peak in You Tube and see why! 

   [wp_youtube]5WTAAz-fXSk&feature[/wp_youtube] 

The one-man show stars Hawaiian-born actor and dancer Keo Woolford. Keo starred in the London production of “King and I” as the King a few years back!“I-LAND” is Woolford’s semi autobiographical search for the meaning of his Hawaiian heritage in a post-modern world.  In a tale woven from traditional Hawaiian hula and Hip-Hop routines, Woolford chronicles how he first learned to dance from his idol, whom he dubs the “Hula god,” before a fleeting brush with fame as a member of a boy band that almost hits the big time. His subsequent descent into a world of drugs and partying culminates with his rediscovery of the dance that connects him to both his culture and to himself.

Rustan’s Celebrates the Art of Amorsolo

By | Arts and Culture, Giving Back, Green, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

Rustan’s celebrates the art of Amorsolo with limited special edition shopping bags

 

The Amorsolo Retrospective and the four-month multi-venue exhibition of the Philippines’ First National Artist’s finest works were officially introduced to the media at the Peninsula Manila Hotel recently. Rustan’s Supermarkets, as one of the proud partners in the staging of His Art, Our Heart, a look at the finest works of Fernando Amorsolo, created exclusive shopping bags in celebration of the retrospective.amorsolo-flyer-front-final.JPG

 

Inspired by Fernando Amorsolo, who was named National Artist for Painting in 1972 and the first Filipino to be given that distinction, Rustan’s Supermarkets has made the Amorsolo Shopping Bags available to the public as a contribution to the awareness and understanding of Filipino culture and core values as seen in the master’s paintings, illustrations and sketches.

 

Amorsolo, also called the “Grand Old Man of Philippine Art”, is known for his wide range of subjects – from his idealized female images of the Filipina, scenes of traditional Filipino customs, fiestas and occupations, to his series of historical paintings on pre-Colonial and Spanish Colonization scenes.

 

The one of a kind Amorsolo bags are available in two sizes, with four (4) original Amorsolo painting designs

Harvest, 1947

Mango Tray, 1950

Cooking Time, 1952 and 

 amorsolo-cooking-time-1932.jpg

Picnic, 1948

 amorsolo-picnic-1948.jpg

priced at P145.00 (medium) and P160.00 (large) each. The bags, each made of reusable lightweight katcha fabric, will be available beginning October 1, 2008 until April 30, 2009 at all Rustan’s Supermarket Fresh stores.

 

Join Rustan’s Supermarkets in celebrating one of the greatest Filipino painters. Get your Rustan’s Supermarket limited edition Amorsolo shopping bag now and collect all 4 designs. Corporate orders and specific art design requests are also available through Rustan Supercenters, Inc at telephone number 895-2291.
