the weekend artist inspiration #8 Art Appreciation

Stepping inside an art museum is one of my most fave things. Actually any museum gets me feeling giddy inside. I think my love for things old and new (goes to show why it's hard for me to throw things away) and the history that comes with it is hard to resist. 

On a sunny winter day my sister and I dressed in our short dresses and knits to keep us warm went out for a day at The Boston Museum of Fine Arts.

It was hard not to smile and get all excited when I browsed the list of what's in-store(I'll post my fave artworks in my next entry).

A blurred version of me. =)

The highlight of the trip was seeing Degas in the Nude works

(here is another version of a blurred me again.)

Thanks to my sister for a wonderful and memorable day. 

We finally did it(the whole art app day with the outfit)! I miss you dearly!

Goodbye for now Boston!

the weekend artist inspiration #7: heArt and Away

November, Christmas and New Year's passed by in a blur for me.

 It went by fast while preparing and actually leaving my work, my life in manila for awhile.

I decided to travel halfway on the other side of the world 

to be with my sister who is recovering from an illness. 

It was quite a roller-coaster of emotions 

and nothing will prepare you for something that happens like it. 

Life has a way of waking you up when your feeling all settled and content. 

Now that she is on the road to recovery 

I now get to appreciate more the wonderful things around me.

I am currently on my 3rd week here in Boston.

Daily walks outdoors has become a general part of my routine

(except on a rainy or flurry-snowish day...which happened today). 

The views are breathtaking and you certainly feel 

that you are in another part of the world

(especially the weather...hey I'm from a tropical country!).

I actually got the coughs and colds on my first week 

while my body adjusted to the weather.

It actually reminds me of London

... the trees, the landscape the architecture and the people.

A beautiful angel found in Boston Common on a beautiful day.

It says: A public spirited citizen whose great gift to the city of Boston provided for the creation of works of public utility and beauty for the use and enjoyment of the inhabitants.

Here's something artistically inspiring which I wish I could do for 2012!  

Do something creative every day.

And lastly a very inspiring New Year's Resolution sign: "Eat More Ice Cream!" =).

Boston has inspired me in more ways than I can imagine 

and more than that it had me thinking about a lot of things in my life. 

I'm glad I made the decision not only to be here for my sister 

(plus it helps me sleep better knowing and seeing that she is doing ok)

but as well as for myself.

I'll definitely miss the place and the people!

Goodnight Boston!

Goodbye for now!

an invitation

Since I started blogging I've been getting invitation to events, places and have lately been turning them down since I've really been busy or it just coincides with dates which I have set plans beforehand. I really feel bad turning invites down since am quite flattered they even invited me in the first place =).

Recently I got invited by Ms Pache Paredes to their event entitled SIGLO. I'm all for supporting young talent most specially CSB students since am quite close to some of them through my work mentorship program. See more details below...
