Artist Hayden Sison to Hold Duterte-Inspired Exhibit

Avante-garde artist Hayden Sison will unveil his latest collection of masterpieces inspired by the leading political figures in the country today at an exhibit entitled “Adventures in Digongland (More High Fructose Corn Syrup)" to be held at the SM Art Center in Megamall from January 3 to 14, 2017.

Some of the artworks to be showcased in the exhibit will feature his interpretations of President Rodrigo R. Duterte. “My latest collection is inspired by events and personalities from the last presidential elections leading to the first 100 days of President Duterte. It is about the here and now and the mystery and suspense that comes with it. We can only guess what's going to happen tomorrow in ‘Digongland’,” said Sison, who has been vocal about his admiration of President Duterte even prior to the election. 

“As an artist and an observer, my job is to notice things. ‘Digongland’ is where we are now and where we will be for the next six years. I'm just adding what I notice to the audio-visual pollution,” he expounded, adding further that, “This show is quite different from the first ‘High Fructose Corn Syrup’ as it reflects many questions and uncertainties from a lot of sectors of society and what's in store for the country.”

For this fast-rising visual artist, his recent exhibit offers “art that is created from within but inspired by what is without.“ He experiments with various media to bring out a “sense of fun, play and freedom” while trying to derive meaning from the characters in the frontline of governance.

“I work with oil paint sticks, oil pastel, acrylic paint, graphite pencils and pretty much any stuff I can get my hands on when I'm working. I work intuitively, often without sketching, based on ideas I collect in my head. I don't use pencils. Often it's straight into paint or ink. I like the no-backing-out feel to capture my muse. I like the randomness and the way the images work it's way into the final piece. It creates a lot of mood and tension,” he said.

Sison is known for art that reflects dark humor, satire or double meanings. However, this is the first time his artistic mischief will focus on politics or political commentary. 

 

“Adventures in Digongland (More High Fructose Corn Syrup)" will have a private and exclusive artist’s reception for friends of the artist, collectors, patrons and the media on January 7, 5pm. For those interested to attend, kindly contact the artist at 0917 700 8251to be included in the guest list.

Blogger RonNotTheDJ

Ed Gonzalez and owner Jahzon Lih

A coworking place the South, nestled in BF Homes, Parañaque, is the solution that you might have been looking for when it comes to the need to work and having your own office.

Blogger Rod Gabriel and Ed Gonzalez

Get one hour free use of The Common Space. 

Go visit The Common Space Facebook page to see how! 

Of course, there's Starbucks, right - with the coffee, and you can bring your lappy and portable wifi there, and must have the art of shutting out noise when you need to concentrate - but then here, at The Common Space, there is unlimited brewed hot coffee, cold coffee, hot tea, iced tea, and you can bring in your own munchies. The noise level is that of work, and there is no loud music playing, no people who are there to disturb your concentration, as it is for coworking - a shared office.

This shared office may be rented at a monthly, daily, and for minimum of 3 hours. There are various packages. There is strong wifi at 15 Gbps, and there are two desktops that can be rented at 30 pesos and hour. There is a scanner, printer, and a landline. Just like an office, you can get your mail here, and use this coworking place in Paranaque for an office address.

When we had the blogger's event, with bloggers Rod Gabriel, Ron Barbaza, and online influencer Ed Gonzalez, we made a computation of the monthly rental, to see the cost per day. First, we discussed what a person would need if they would have their own office space, so the rental expense, the electricity, the equipment, and the internet - and since you can use this coworking space for a month, which is 6 working days a week multiplied by 4 weeks, it comes out that 4,500 pesos a month means that you will only spend 187.50 a day.

The bloggers event was that of discussion, turning out to be a meeting where we shared information, and then enjoyed the work atmosphere that this coworking in Parañaque provided. It helps one become more productive to be among people who want to focus on work, and there is a good vibe, that of energy, that comes with this spacious and airy space, that has benches set right outside for the smoking area.

The Common Space is located at the second floor of Pergola Mall, Aguirre Ave, Parañaque. You may learn more about it by accessing The Common Space Facebook page.

Yes, that is smoked salmon in the center

Toppings Do Matter

What's on the last pizza that you ate? What were the toppings? Think back, and the primary question is - were you totally satisfied? There are ordinary pizzas and those that are mediocre, that it can seem to be just a stomach stuffer. What do I call this pizza? The Caveman, perfect for that hungry man.

Pepperoni, genoa salami, back bacon, lean beef and capocolli

Measure for Measure 

Aside from the top of the line ingredients such as the various cheese, shrimps, bacon, and other awesome toppings, there is more in every slice of Steveston Pizza, not sparingly placed, it is a generous serving each time.

Crust Makes the Difference

Chef Laudico's Feast: More Buffet Choices

With over 100 dishes, affordable great food with the variety of choices is yours at Chef's Laudico's Feast.

Angus Beef Tapa

Located at SM City, Clark, Angeles City, Pampanga, the spacious dining area is made more special by the uniquely Filipino decorative touches such at the impressive Capiz chandeliers. The buffet is make a lot easier to access, as it omits the lines, since the feast is laid out in an oval setting. That eliminates the having to wait in line to get food. The restaurant is airy, seating is comfortable, and there is a lot of parking space available.

This unlimited buffet has a choice of international and Filipino dishes, from appetizers to dessert. It does provide a lot of the most popular dishes in the world. With unlimited beverages, such as iced tea, soda, and coffee, it is indeed a feast, as more than just having a buffet with lots of food choices, there are those dishes that have gourmet touch of Chef' Laudico, done with the passion of a true chef, using the finest ingredients. There are no shortcuts used in the food making process, such as using flavor cubes.

My personal favorite dish was the Angus Tapa, and the kare-kare with their bagoong was totally wonderful. Though there was a variety of rice dishes such as Paella Valenciana, I went for the white rice, which was a level up from most other buffet places, as the rice does make the diff, and this was puff and gloss white, the way I love it. There are so many food items, that I was not able to try them all, and that is one of the reasons why one should dine at Chef's Laudico's Feast, because one will never get bored with what food to eat, as there are over a hundred choices.

It is best to take very small portions at first, to discover what you like, and then to go back for more, and doing this taste-testing, I just had to go back to get more rice and a double serving of the Angus Tapa, as it one of the best that I have ever tasted.

What you can expect from this buffet restaurant is the leveling up of most of the meat dishes, and that is what I can state because I did not have enough tummy space to tackle the seafood, except the sashimi and a few shrimps. The meat is what I went for as I do love the choice cuts from Angus beef,

If you want to enjoy a buffet, and to dine at Chef''s Laudico's Feast which is an experience, and one that is worth repeating again, and again, and again.  Here are the rates:

Jing Monis Salon: Visible, Professional Hair Care Difference

Fine highlights at Jing Monis Salon

Using the wrong kind of hair dye made me get stuck with black hair for years, too heavy a color for my face. Also, that kind of hair dye literally makes the hair look like a wig because it has a different style of coloring the hair from what is commonly used. I was stuck with black hair, as I did not ever bother to have it done, as maybe, I was hesitant to trust just any parlor, though there are a lot of good ones. I just lived with it, even if I go a lot of advice from people who care about me, like my aunt and a few friends.

Then, I got an invite from Jing Monis Salon, and that was a turning point, making me no longer have any bad hair day. The hair care experts at Jing Monis salon carefully explained to me in detail what the different hair dyes are. The one that I used was metallic - it was one of those shampoo in hair colors, with no peroxide mixing. This metallic hair dye cannot be removed unless it is bleached, and will not allow any other color to be placed on it. The solution that was given to me was to bleach, then highlight, and place a base color. This apparently is quite tricky, as it won't work if the wrong color is chosen, as like with my hair disaster, complete color removal cannot be done in one session, as the bleaching process has to take around 30 minutes. The problem with the bleaching process, when not done by professionals is explained in this video.



Since the stripping off cannot be complete, I was presented with the full head of highlight choice, and it had a lovely red. This color was chosen as it would indeed make my hair look lighter, and other colors would not work. Then, the base color was presented. Though we had a bit of discussion, as I do get to ask a lot of questions which were all answered properly, it was good to leave my hair to professional hands that made the hours in the place a super pampering session.

See the black hair? Bleaching it off

Highlighting process

Precision and Perfection 

Attention to detail is what makes the difference. The fact that the hair care supplies are first class, that all the hair care technicians there go through intensive training, and the spirit of perfection, the pride that they take in their work. All was carefully timed such as how long the dye must stay and how long application must take, and the hands were light, no tugging or pulling. There was the finishing process, as to step out of the place made a whole new me, with a lovely crowning glory.

And, I had detailed instructions on how to take care of my hair, what kind of hair dye to use, and what shampoo and conditioner to use. That makes the diff, as I do now have great hair days, daily, even when I just comb it after showering and let it air dry, because of the precision cutting.

If you have hair woes like mine, or other similar hair concerns, go to Jing Monis salon for the hair care expertise that you need.

One Day Silent Auction at Bel-Air

The Women of Bel-Air had a successful fund-raising project on Nov. 17 to 20, 2016. This auction night had a display of the various artwork and items up for auction. These were donated by the various people that live in this area in Makati, and note, that such fund-raising projects are a regular thing.

The event was well-attended. The night was perfect, that of being serenaded with the timeless classics of yesteryears, like when I entered the place, the singer was rendering his version of "O Sole Mio", reminding me of my late husband and how he used to sing that same song. The cocktail food was excellent, the service was great, and the freely-poured wine made the event seem like a party, but there was serious business being done, as the Women of Bel-Air had the auction items such as jewelry, porcelain plate sets, clothes, and the featured artworks on display, with sign up forms for the bids to be placed.

The auction went seamlessly and the place was rather vibrant with excitement, as the various bidders did talk about how they would like to win the item that they placed a bid on.



More than what meets the eye, one would think that there was just a party going on, but then, as explained by in this video, there was the true heart of being noblesse oblige.
