Toots Magsino, a classmate from Assumption highschool, makes us proud to be Filipino.  Her art work recently came out in the June Carnegie Playbill cover. Congratulations!!!

She is preparing for her first

solo exhibit in New York.  It is timely because she is celebrating her 10th year anniversary.  You can visit her website at:   www.tootsmagsino.com

 

“I value intimacy and directness in my work and that is why I choose to work in a fairly small size and scale. My works are not about big and bold thoughts. They are quiet, introspective, personal reflections. They do not scream out but rather whisper my inner thoughts. My art is an intimate dialogue between the viewer and myself. In a sense, it’s like a secret language between two individuals. As such, I prefer it to be understated and mysterious. There is much to discover in the tiny nuances and details of my work. It conveys more of my thoughts and feelings than the work lets on. But if one takes the time to observe the small details, one will discover something new every time the piece is viewed. It will be ever changing and ever-evolving. Just like me.”

The Best Mc Do ever!

By | Great Achievements, Travel | No Comments
This has got to be the BEST Mc Do I have EVER been to in the whole world. During our trip to Bacolod, we went to Mc Donalds 3 to 4 times a day in the 3 days that we were there. Tito Butch manages this Mc Donald’s and aside from managing it, he has a collection of Happy Meal toys displayed inside. AMAZING! Around 5,000 pcs. coming from all over the world – USA, Japan, HK, Australia, France, UK and other European nations. This Mc Do is around 800 sq. meters and is complete with the playground and has a Mc Cafe in front. The inside is very different from all the other Mc Donalds i have been to as Tito Butch is very involved in everything that happens here. It is so clean. No miss, whenever we visited the store, there is always someone mopping the floor, cleaning the windows, or just cleaning something. It must run in the family because my dad is very picky with cleanliness when it came to running Rustan’s supermarket and now in Starbucks. For all these reasons, no wonder my Tito and this store has had numerous awards from Mc Donalds headquarters. CONGRATS!!!!!
