I am moving!

Yes, you heard me right!

Finally, after almost a year of having a free wordpress blog (September 2007), I am moving to a bigger, much better space! I am announcing my immediate relocation to:

Our Life is a Story Book – Life. Love. Dreams. Happiness. Faith. Serendipity. And everything in between.

Please update your blogrolls. I am doing my best to update my new blog as soon as possible.

See you all there!

First-time surfer in Hawaii

I am a first time surfer. Oh, I can’t even call myself a surfer yet. Lol. I’ve been wanting to surf eversince, at least now I can live to tell that I finally did it

Some still photos from my surfing experience at White Plains, Barbers Point, Oahu, Hawaii. Nah, I’m not showing you everything…yet…I look really silly in the pictures believe me! Lol.

Sore and bruised body, several cuts on my feet from the rocks and reefs…but I definitely had so much fun! Not bad for a first timer, eh?

My first Hawaiian Rainbow

I just love rainbows! They are God’s reminders that there’s always something to look forward to after the rain…..sigh…..

In fact, the rainbow is Hawaii’s official logo

I saw my first rainbow in Hawaii last June 19, around 8pm (yeah, the sun was still up at that time!) while cruising down towards Pearl City, Hawaii with Grandma, Grandpa, and Auntie Susan. Yeah, most of the photos were taken while inside the car.

Aloha and Mahalo!

PS. I am still waiting for my first double rainbow…looking forward to that I marvel at God’s magnificent creations!

Hanauma Bay, North Shore Haleiwa, Diamond Head, Hawaii, Aloha, Kristine Sendy!

Capitol State, Sacramento, Aloha, Hawaii….and 29th Birthday thoughts

I know.

I haven’t written for months now. I am in a different timezone. Different environment. Different people.

Different. Different.

But somehow, I manage to blend in…

Last Friday, I did something again of which I am really proud of. I took care of myself…got myself a cab from the city of Diamond Bar, California to the Fullerton, CA Amtrak station, a good 12.3 something miles and $31 cab fare + $5 tip.

I am off to Sacramento that day and I am taking the Amtrak instead of getting on the plane like what I did the first time. A $68, 7 hours trip from south to north…2 trains and 2 bus rides… This is gonna be one exciting trip – i hope…

Goodbye for now South California….going back to North California…be seeing you soon though….

And for this week, May 29 – Aloha, Hawaii and Happy 29th Birthday to me (May 30th)!

I pray to the good Lord that He blesses me and my loved ones…..

Jeremiah 29:11 (New International Version)

11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

I will really appreciate more feedback regarding my artworks specially from artists who have had exhibits and collectors.

I just got home from an opening of a local exhibit here in Manila, Philippines (Art Verite, Serendra, Fort Bonifacio Global City, Metro Manila, Philippines) by Christian Tamondong entitled ZOOlala! and I was really in awe….wishing and praying that someday soon, I’ll be able to see my artworks in my own exhibit as well…. My good friends, broadcast journalists from the Philippines, Julius Babao and Christine Bersola Babao invited me to the event. Julius Babao is an art collector and an artist himself.

Please see http://www.artverite.net/index.htm for more information.

I will do my best to create more paintings soon….eyeing for more large canvases this time….

It’s been snowing where I am, and although the snow is pretty, seeing your colorful pieces sure puts a smile on my face. Your style is cool too.

Build Your Portfolio

Posted by: Kristi Taylor on 03/03/2008 – 11:00 AM

Hi Kristine, you have a great start with what you have posted here. My advice if your goal is a solo show is to focus your ideas and build a cohesive collection of say 20 + works that relate to each other either in subject, color palette, theme, etc so gallery owners and curators can get a good idea of your artistic direction and feel comfortable knowing what they will be getting. You are one step ahead since you are also a writer so use that advantage and write about your work and artistic motivations every chance you get. Your images will draw people in but what you say about them can sometimes make the difference of whether you get the show or not and will definitely help others market your work to it’s full potential.
I’m sure other memebers will have more to add for you on the topic of getting started and I’ll be looking forward to seeing your new works on the site. Best of luck with all your ventures!

Thank You So Much!

I’ve already said Hi, but I thought I’d get it into the discussions. I think you will like it here. It can get lively sometimes but mostly we’re civil.

Welcome

……….except Kevin. Welcome Kristine. (just kidding Kevin). Your work has a rich color consistency with a bit of primitive flavor. Looking forward to seeing your future artwork.

Thank You

Your work is great and you will love it on this site if you have questions I posted a blog to help the new artist. Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Linda

Welcome Kristine From Another Faa Newbi

your work is a powerfully evocative expression of your individuality – nothing derivative here. As a well known figurative painter told me when I was not much older than you are “just paint”. Trust me it takes care of everything, that old figurative painter understood a lot. Looking forward to more stuff from your heart and brush.

Your Criticisms Wil Be Highly Appreciated….happy Holidays Everyone!

I am a young artist from the Philippines who is dreaming of having my own one-woman art exhibit.

Please feel free to write your feedback regarding my artworks. More artworks coming up. I paint not to impress but to express……

Thank you to those who have taken the time to write me a message!

Happy Holidays everyone!

Looking forward to hearing more from you all…

Update about Dr. Mary Joy’s case

PAF man tagged in Lipa woman dentist’s killing
By janice on Feb 21, 2008 in News

LIPA CITY – Police have filed murder charges against a Philippine Air Force (PAF) man, who was tagged in the killing of a 29-year-old woman dentist in her clinic here last Jan. 24.

Superintendent Rodney Ramirez, city police chief, identified the suspect as Airman Second Class Kenan Euren Resurreccion, 25, assigned with the PAF’s 750th Combat Group based at Camp Aguinaldo in Quezon City.

Ramirez said Resurreccion was charged before the city prosecutor’s office last Feb. 12 after at least three eyewitnesses identified him as the bloodied man seen rushing out of the dental clinic of victim Mary Joy Duroy at the corner of C.M. Recto Avenue and Simeon Luz street in Barangay 6 here.

“We have a strong case against the suspect when the witnesses positively identified (him) in a photo gallery that we presented to them” Ramirez told The STAR.

Ramirez, together with Superintendent Archie Macala, Batangas chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group, said they were able to establish leads and evidence strongly linking Resurreccion, a former boyfriend of Duroy, to her killing.

Duroy was scheduled to get married with her boyfriend working abroad last December, but the wedding was postponed due to time constraints. By ARNELL OZAETA With Ed Amoroso

Of leaving, parting, arriving in a different place…and more…

I left on March 3, 2008. I arrived on March 3, 2008.

I am on my own now. I am one tough cookie. Dealing with a new place, new environment, getting myself into situations I’ve never been into before – everything seems exciting for me. I am on my own!

But today, I received a sad news from home. My Tita Carmen (my mom’s older sister) passed away this morning, March 16, 2008 manila time. She was in her early 50’s and has suffered for 2 years from cerebral aneurism. She had surgery and all and has been bedridden since then….I just don’t know what to do…….all i can do is cry and pray…..

I am really down and low….:(
