shows the representation of the
East versus the West, the conservative versus the liberal idea
between cultures.
It is great to see here
the good, the bad and the ugly
of all things as it strikes a balance to the representation of
the culture. You will always get
a feeling of realization. Especially with the paintings, that
reflects the political and religious nature of our culture.
This show the artists,
to not only want to express
their sadness and sorrow, but
the joy and hope that they
have.

Book lovers are growing
by the dozen, or so Ive been told.
Regardless, its fun to see people growing to love books more.
Maybe its the movies and series based on books? Or
maybe
its
simple
curiosity.
Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, The
Notebook and The Fault in Our
Stars are the few famous books that
turned into a blockbuster movie. The
masses loved the movie, and fans
became lovers of the books as well.
Then again, movies like
Romeo and Juliet, Pride and
Prejudice, as well as Sense and
Sensibility are also made into
movie, but are not highly recognized, and still people continue to read these classical books.
Then there are those books that
were turned into television series, like The Vampire Diaries,
Game of Thrones and True Blood.
Even then, the mass loved them.
However, let us not compare the two sets of books. They
are magnificent in their own way.
The dilemma here is, where to start
reading, and what? As many people have observed, the love for
books is not about the movie that
was made, its about that published words that creates the story.
If you want to know what
kind of book that would guide
you to your booklover path, you
need to know a few simple things.
First of, know where you
would like to go? There is a saying
that books take you to places you
have never been. Which are true,
books can bring you to that place.
So from there, know where you
want to go. Your want is the limit.
Second, what do you feel
after reading a book out of curiosity? Know what you feel after
reading one book. Did you find
the kind of book that you want to
read, or are you still searching? Do
not worry, youll stumble upon that
magical book soon enough. Just
keeping the wild imagination going.
Lastly, never hesitate to try to read
a book. Like never, because you
can never find the one! Sure read
the first few chapters, and then
see if it really catches your imagination. If not, I dont blame you, if
so, I congratulate you in finding it.
Booklovers are different
from one another; book lovers
are those who appreciate books
as if it is an art made of words.
There are those who
simply love to read to relax,
some are those who wants excitement in their imagination.
For
as
the
saying
goes,
Never judge
a book by its
cover
Some just really love reading and collecting, and there are
many more kinds. You will soon
find your kind of bookworm.

If youre stuck between being a fashionista and who-the-hell-cares-on-my-look for a
day, two or tri toned outfit is a go-to.

Plain shirts goes well with everything! When paired with right

C O L O R S OR N E U T R A L S :
A Maestros Perspective
BY MARY LARA SHANE G. GASPAR
There are a lot of artist, aspiring, inspiring and an icon. Regardless,
it is not their achievement that defines
an artist, but their work. Renmund Theophilus D. Viola, 23, a comic artist, aims
to be well-known in the comic industry.
Originally, Viola did not take
up arts earlier in his life; he took up
a course that is more practical in the
kind of world we all live in. However, like every other artist in the modern world, Viola is one of those who
succumb to the call no matter what
the odds are. So far, he has done
well, and on his way to his dreams.
His works are from simple
pleasures to great works of art. Most
of it focusing on characters from comic
books like Batman (his favorite among
all the comic characters) to his own
cartoon characters interpretations,
like Korra (from the Legend of Korra)
and Fionna (from Adventure Time).
Seeing his artworks, most
of his interpretations are heavy,
but powerful, just like his own.
Viola as a person is opinionated and open
to many life interpretations. He is logical at the same time colorful; you could
talk to him about almost everything.
It is an experience to
have talked to him in such a manner, that it was all so natural.
He
is
curious,
and
finds
positive
things
in
life.
However, like any other people around him, he is also simple,
and would often reach the point of
the unknown in his art. Still, he ends
up creating good comic art. Just see
some of his work and you will see.
Although a comic artist, the
Maestro that is Viola excels more in
drawing in black and white, rather
than doing colors. I had to ask him
why, and his answer is colorful. To him,
you will see more edge and beauty
in comic art through black and white.
Viola is still well on his way to
his goal, he has achieved a lot in his
current work. Soon his favorite quote,
Witness
me
Mad
Max,
will
from
be
Nux in
fulfilled.

PARASITES IN MY BRUSH
You know how theres time-based art? Movies, music, plays- its all time-based art. Theres
a beginning and a middle and an end. and you have to see it from beginning to end. Youre restrained to that time line, that way of experiencing it. But then theres paintings, no beginning,
no middle, no end. You see what you want to see when you want to see it. No restrictions. Its just
there.
Angela Gabrielle Loreno, 22 years old, currently studying at the Adamson University,
taking up BS Architecture. She works as an
illustrator in The Adamson Chronicle and
Tapat News. The main themes of her artworks are mostly pop-surreal and editorial
cartoon. She is also a Freelance visual artist
and craft-maker.
She cant express her thoughts in words thats
why she vents out into a visual art. The stories
behind her artworks are mostly expression
of love for a certain movie and her obsession
towards succulent plant or her bad day at
school.

For a long time, Grannies and apple pies on windowsill comes into my mind when I
encounter the word baking. A
whole new definition came up
the first time I baked by myself.
Baking is not just about
satisfying cravings and fill in tummies, its also about putting smile
on peoples faces through their
taste buds. It might not be as
easy as bringing a pot of water
to boil and dump in instant
noodles, but all the handiwork will surely produce tasty results.

If youre not a fan of kalesa rides, you might want to try the gondolas
and enjoy the Italian streets in Venice Piazza Mall. Though some of
the areas are still under construction, the mall and the establishments
around the location are a must-see!
Entering the museum will make you feel foreign in your own land. The galleries
were built apt to its geographical location, with Greek architecture an inspiration.
If Greece have Santorini, we also have, as what our guide Sir Andy Orencio call,
Santorito.

Lucky are the photo enthusiast and bloggers of this millennium because of the vast improvement in our technology today. High camera resolution mobile phones plus various photo editing apps are
available within grasp with the use of internet, making photography much more easier and convenient to
practice. The challenge now is capturing photos that has a story and that will definitely touch the heart of
its viewer. Its a question of what particular scene to take and how you will be able to capture that right
moment.
ALWAYS BE
READY
LOOK FOR A
NEW ANGLE
Learn to love shooting
new angles. Sometimes, in order to bring out the uniqueness
of your photo, you have to adjust and try a different angle.
Add some spice and avoid
shooting at your normal view.
You may look weird of shooting, but you must start loving
it. And starting from now, you
must not just look for a better angle but for a new one.
RIGHT CHOICE OF
MOBILE APPS
PERFECT MOMENT
IS THE PERFECT
TIMING
Always prepare yourself and your phone to take good stories. Attentiveness is a must. If youre a photojournalist, be an observant and learn how the
society rotates every day. Dont be afraid of shooting but always know your limits.
LIGHT IS YOUR
SUPERPOWER
Direct Sunlight is not
just your basis for shooting;
it is the good ambiance, the
light towards on your subject.
Shadows and Contrast
are really matter for combination
of your composition and the story.
Lights served as your superpower
for you to know where to shoot.
FOCUS
ON PEOPLE
Capturing
people
as
your subject really improves your
photography skills.
People are always subjective, practice focusing on people in action. This make sense and
come up with better story and easy
for you to write a relative caption.
Any photo apps will do for editing your photos but download the
simple and best like proper adjusting of contrast, brightness and clarity.
Dont filter a lot and be more natural. Photography applications are more useful for creating accounts and for posting the photo like Instagram and VSCO cam; most popular app.
Nobodys perfect? But nevertheless street photography reveals the reality
life in society.
Moments of the truth defines how photojournalism is relevant to the perfections on each photo. Be brave enough to face the reality, practice, and capture a lot! :)

DECEMBER AVENUE
Name a person who doesnt
feel the pain when Dahan plays
on track? December Avenue finally released their first ever self-titled album which was a collection
of the best of their old and new
songs plus new tracks! Vocalist,
Zel Bautista says that they want to
make songs that people can relate
to. You definitely need to hear this
band if you want a song that will
never leave until you sleep tonight.
Jensen and the Flips is
one of the indie bands that needs
to be heard. Most of the Flips
songs are about intense emotion
and romantic love. According to
Jensen Gomez, their songs were
flirtatious. Honestly we all agree
to that! Try to listen to Dangerous, Is this love, Slow
and Love Child and youll
get what I mean. Their songs were
perfect if you want some chilling
vibe and #WeBeFlippin!

2. Avoid Distractions
Youre on your first steps to achieving your goal
and there is no turning back! T here are a lot of
temptations and other opportunities but you must
look straight into your goal.
3. find motivation
Hard times are expected to come and there are times
that you might want to give up. Look for an inspiration
like searching for people who made their dreams come
true or look for people with the same goals as yours
(Seeking for help to persons with mutual dreams is not a
bad thing). If they can do it then so do you!
4.
Work on it
5. Acknowledge
Once youre already there, always look back to acknowledge everyone that helped you made it. T he best goal is
not just achieving your goal it is helping and inspiring others
in achieving their dreams once you already have yours.
