MUSINGS ON THE SECOND OF OCTOBER
Musical talent uncovered through Sadness
I have learned how to play 2 and a half songs by ear with the organ that my brother lent us. Striking the keys and making melodies seem to be another one of my outlets when I’m feeling sad…
Artsy Streak
I’m actually an artsy person. I like visiting museums and pretending to understand paintings in art galleries. I’d like to take pottery and photography classes for my personal satisfaction. It’s just something that I want to do.
More Revelations on The Perfect Man
I realized that there are other factors why I liked Hillary Duff’s movie. Aside from Hillary’s crazy antics, I was especially able to relate to the movie because 1) Hillary had a blog and eventually a homepage; 2) Her mom is a passionate baker. So I was awed by those two things. I had a smile on my face every time Hillary’s character would write on her online journal, and was excited when her mom would pipe out flower icing decorations for her cake. Cool, it’s so cool. Watching the movie once again ignited my desire to fix my blog and bake again. Real cool :)
The Murad Cellulite Solution
It’s a regimen actually which really interested me. I would try it out if I was in the cellulite removal stage, tsk tsk. Too bad, I’m still a long way off to that. I need to lose my fats first then worry about cellulites later on. Anyhoo, click the link for Pam Pastor’s article on Dr. Murad’s take on cellulite in the Inquirer.
Goodbye, Cellulite!
Coloring Guyito
Guyito is the Philippine Daily Inquirer’s carabao icon. We have The Philippine Star on weekdays and Inquirer on Sundays upon my request. I’m partial to Inquirer because my friend writes for their 2bu! section and my former college professor is the managing editor of the Sunday Inquirer Magazine….which also featured one of my works, hehehe.
Anyway, I read about a partially blind artist made an artistic sculpture of Guyito, which was featured in last week’s SIM. Then this Sunday, there were two painted versions of Guyito depicting nationalism and readership. I think it’s really cool and I’d like to be there when the painted Guyitos are unveiled :)
Here’s the article take from SIM…

GUYITO, the official mascot of the Philippine Daily Inquirer, takes centerstage as the newspaper marks its 20th anniversary in December. Festivities will be highlighted by the unveiling of 20 Guyito carabao sculptures based on the character created by chief cartoonist Jess Abrera, and translated into the three-dimensional version by sculptor Juan Sajid Imao.
The Inquirer has invited 20 of the country’s veteran and emerging artists to paint the fiberglass sculptures based on the anniversary theme, “The Power of Knowing.” They are: Malang, Bencab, Kidlat Tahimik, Fernando Sena, Salvador Convocar, Soler, Steve Santos, Caña, Lydia Velasco, Ernesto Patricio, Bing Siochi, Roel Obemio, Tres Roman, Wilfredo Offemaria, Bin Samonte, Jef Samonte, Romeo Forbes, Rex Tatlonghari, Anton Balao and Jack Salud.
The grand unveiling of their works is scheduled on December 5, 6 to 8 p.m., at the Greenbelt Park, Makati City.

The carabao sculptures will be donated to 20 selected cities/municipalities nationwide, to be chosen based on their high schools’ rankings in the Regional Finals of the Quiz Bee Competition. Miniature versions of the Guyito sculptures will be given to the top 20 companies that have supported the Inquirer in the past two decades.
From January to May 2006, Inquirer representatives will visit the 20 selected schools/cities to turn over the sculptures. In addition, an Inquirer Campus Journalism Workshop will be held in each school. The one-day lecture/workshop will feature Inquirer reporters, editors and columnists who will discuss specific journalism topics and share their expertise on effective writing, editing and layouting. The number of student participants will be determined by the school’s available venue. Delegates will be given a handbook on journalism styles, methods, ethics and best practices.
Inquirer president Alexandra Prieto-Romualdez said the complement of anniversary activities underscores the need for knowledge. In marking its 20th year, Inquirer particularly hopes to motivate students to become achievers. “Through these projects, we hope to inspire the young to value reading and use it as a tool to attaining their dreams.”

Church Gathering @ Kaliraya
The message in church today made me say “Yes” to that gathering on Oct 30-Nov 1. I didn’t really like to go at first because 1) I don’t really know anyone that well 2) Obnoxious guys might be there 3) I don’t want to mingle. But then, I always get this some-kind-of-high when I go to church…I get inspired by the preachings which is a rare occasion these days. The message tugged on a heartstring when the pastor shared an experience of pain and suffering—pain that makes you say, ‘I can’t stand it anymore’. Yet everything has a purpose. We are the clay in the Potter’s hand and the Potter molds us as He sees best. What are my expectations? Not much, except that I’d be happier or enlightened when I come back from that experience…
Chocolate Buffet @ Makati Shangri-La
I’ve tried Manila Penn’s Chocolate Buffet last December, now it’s time to try Makati Shang’s! Bwahahahaha (laughs the Chocolate Monster!) It’s only on Fridays and Saturdays, 6pm-9pm at the Lobby Lounge. And oh my gosh, they have dark chocolate pralines and chocolate with mint ala After Eight! I am definitely going, and this time, it doesn’t matter if I’m all by myself! Hahahaha! (another laugh by the Chocolate Monster!)
