Nuvali's Greenstallations!

This weekend was a little adventurous as we chose to head down south to experience Nuvali once again. I've been indulging in art since my Cebu trip and this one's quite the same. It's not just pieces though because we're talking about world class artists on this one.

Manila's art scene was in attendance

We were also provided with this ensemble of tribal music. I must say when they picked up the nose flute we were all in a trance!

We were so honored to be in the presence of 4 great artists namely Mr. Mario Mallari Jr. (a scrap metal - eco artist), Architect Juan Carlo Calma (internationally acclaimed Architect/Interior Designer/Visual Artist) , 1996 TOYM Awardee Michael Cacnio (known for his intricate themed brass sculptures), and Eduardo Castrillo whose works include the several huge monuments in Ayala plus the People Power Monument along EDSA. I specifically like the words of Eduardo Castrillo when he talked about how this project came about when they approached him to make the sculpture. He didn't believe in competitions because it inhibits the creativity of artists so this was something of a good thing for him, more so the green responsibilities and theme that came with it. The other artists were really just elated that they get to be in the midst of people in this caliber. They have probably seen their work too.

Then they started to unveil the pieces they made for NUVALI, they call it GREENSTALLATIONS!

A toast from executives of Ayala Land, Ayala Museum, Nuvali and the artists themselves made this official. We also went to each sculpture, and got a few photos of these huge pieces. All works from the masters!

Now more than ever NUVALI will be doing something great not just with the environment but with CULTURE itself with these iconic sculptures.The majestic space will not only benefit the residents, the community and people in NUVALI but will make Filipino art known to the country, and soon the world! Each piece depicting an artist's interpretation of evoliving, something that even other countries have taken notice. It was even featured on CNN a few months ago.

World class NUVALI now has world class artwork on the grounds of their 1,860 hectare property in Laguna. It will be nurturing generations to come. From Sports, Business, Nature and Culture, they've got it covered. Congratulations to the artists, Nuvali for getting this world class artwork for Filipinos and non Filipinos around the world to enjoy!

Cheers to 2013!

Year 2012 seemed so special to me... so I am expecting a lot more this 2013!

My brother is in town. Ireland was probably too cold for him so he spent Christmas and New Year here. First in his list is to clean the house. He wants to throw away everything though. Hopefully I can get to keep what I'm wearing now LOL.

We got reservations in Makati Shangrila. I didn't think it was the ideal place to be in but if he's happy with it so am I. My folks loved it too so that's a good thing. I also got some shots in Ayala through my window.

This is just a quick post. Just wanted to say Happy New Year to everyone! =) Hope you had tons of food to eat, get to celebrate with the ones you love and have fun the rest of the year. I will not succumb to people that are trying to bring me down. We deserve to be happy, so let's do just that shall we? =)

Thanks for the wonderful 2012! Let's look forward to a brighter, better 2013! Cheers!

AYALA Christmas Lights Show!

Where have you been lately? Been going out in the mall? Going to parks? Dating someone and not able to think of places to go? Well don't despair because there's something new in Ayala that would definitely make your Christmas a tad better!

This is the AYALA Christmas Lights Show which happens at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in MAKATI. It's right across the Philippine Stock Exchange and the place get's packed at night. This particular display is absolutely free so if you don't have anything to do this Christmas and you want your family, friends or loved one to enjoy here in the Philippines, then this is definitely the place to go!

I never thought I could have something worthy to be my FACEBOOK cover but am now the envy of my friends and family. Facebook cover images like these just give me the chills. It's the perfect thing to have if you want to show off your kind of photography. It's been ages since we've changed the ones on my pages too. It's a pretty neat way of attracting people to interact or just like your page (which reminds me you ought to do that right now!). So now, it's the cover page of my site. Isn't it neat? 

Going back to AYALA, even though it is a business district you should always have something to spark the interest of the people inhabiting the place. People who work in nearby tall buildings flock the area to see a glimpse of the lights to the latest tunes, which is available in Philippine and English contemporary Christmas music. You'll see new things happen before your eyes and you wouldn't believe they can actually do these wonderful things in one spot. It actually runs from 6PM up until 9PM with 30 minute intervals. Then after that they just leave the lights on until 12AM. You should definitely visit this place because if you've seen what I've seen last weekend you'll probably come back and bring your friends too. Nearby restaurants would make your trip so convenient because you can grab something to bite when you're hungry. Else, you can just opt for a cup of coffee and share it with the one you love!

We had tons of fun playing there. Now it's your turn to do the same! Come and join the thousands who throng to AYALA this season and make sure you drop by the AYALA Christmas Lights Show too!
