Tagalog translation: IPINAKO.

The first painting I ever bought in my entire life. It's by my friend, "Montalut."

You see, I have it within me to be "cultured" once in a while.
[And then I go back to buying sneakers, booze, jeans, gadgets and other retail therapy worthy stuff...]

Went to the Ronac Art Center to check out some kicks and chanced upon a pop art exhibit at one of the stores. Don't ask me the title of the exhibit. That's wear I flash you my unsubcultured badge.

Pareng Jose, droid ka pala!

Just some of the exhibit guests.

cable tv + art sub cult

RANDOM STUFF [or weirdness] SEEN ON TV...

I was watching NBA on BTV on Destiny Cable. There was a timeout so my short attention span kicked in and I channel surfed.

Landed on GNN or Global News Network where there was a program called ILLUMINATI hosted by Krip Yuson. The show was featuring the launch of a music and poetry book by artist Cesare Syjuco.

Anyway, one of the event's performers was Cesare's daughter, Beatrix Syjuco who did some sort of a performance art/poetry reading which was out of this world.

TRANSLATION: WTF was that? I totally didn't get it but the audience was totally into her [for lack of a better word] weirdness. Yeah, "artistes" are in a different plane of existence altogether.
I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS HAVING A "420 MOMENT" WITHOUT EVEN SMOKING ANYTHING.

I missed half a quarter of NBA action because of that.

P.S.

• I think she's related to a boogie boarding friend of mine
• The girl [along with her sisters] used to have a band named Faust. I remember I having a copy of their "tape" way back.

Finally, this art unsubcultured person is immortalized in a painting [well part of a painting that is...]



HUH?!
Well here's most of it...


Titled "Self Portrait," it's by an officemate who currently has his first one-man show. Details on my Fbook pics.
