Paragon Art Gallery

I am blogging about Paragon Fine Art which provides very artistic works of art through painting on oil and canvas. Tomasz Rut Art is a photo gallery of various paintings depicting people.

When I was still in college, I had the passion about paintings through canvas using oil or coal or maybe pastel. I have always been eying joining one of the biggest extra curricular organization in college. The Circulo de Arte where most of my friends are there. When I tried to join the 'org', the nickname for organization, of course a talent is a pre requisite! My bad! I am only an art admirer whom cannot make a good art. I am not even very good at simple drawing. My friends who are members on the 'org' always bully me for being with them but yet I am not like them. What can I do? I am a musician who also loves painting. I have tried what they have done but yet, all my 'master pieces' looked like scratch!

Well, there is a gallery in the internet where, again as I said earlier, provide quality paintings! Although some of the paintings there are salacious, well that's art! Even famous renaissance painters made nude arts and most of them are really magnificent! The image above is one of the best I saw from the site. I like that specific painting more because it is showing not only a painting but it is also showing an art which I am good at! Music! So two arts are combined in one.

Cebu Invasion

One of the most famous land mark of Cebu City - the Magellan's Cross, is one of the pit stop we had on you tour to Cebu City. The place was so clean and nice, with so many tourist both Foreign and Filipino like us as well who took pictures of this nice place. Not only nice but also significant in the eyes of historians since this area is also a historic place.

This photo, starring me, is a proof and most of all a remembrance that I have been to this place. This will be one of my most treasured photo in my life. I mean one. With a burned image of the Blessed Mother behind me and the big Cross which was one of the attractions of the place including the paintings on the ceiling which completes the scene. This photo, by my sister, is perfectly shot and I like how is was being shot except for the sun.

Behind this historical spot is another beautiful place full of the grandeur of Catholicism. The Church of Santo Niño. The Church is old but I do not know when it was built. It has traditional setup naming the altar (but not the altar table), the images and statues of the saints, and the architectural setup of the church has been maintained.

I like the place very much. I think and I believe that this is my most favorite place in Cebu not counting those I have not visited. Beside this place, we have been to SM.... whew, not much place. I thought we will be staying there for day but unfortunately, Our stay lasted for more than 12 hours only.

We arrived in Cebu International Airport at around 7:30 in the morning. Our plans is to go to Mactan Island to see Andres Bonifacio there live! Oh, I'm sorry I mean Lapulapu, standing naked. Unfortunately, we had no transportation and and so we went to the house instead where my sister is boarding. We wasted so much time there. Wasting time eating. Laugh Out Loud! We do not have much food!

After that we went to anonymous place. Anonymous because I don't want to mention place. Place like SM, Shopping Mall, Shoe Mart, Super Maket, Sulod sa Merkado, Sa Min, Si Mario, Super Mario, Super Man, Sa Market, So Many more.... we wasted time riding a public vehicle and traffic is unforgivable even with confession. I was so sleepy all day since I never sleep the night before that.

To make this short story a little shorter, we (my father, mother and me excluding my 2 sisters and niece) went to the pier or ship port, or ship terminal or whatever you call it at around 6:30pm to sail home towards Cagayan de Oro. The ship will depart at 8pm. We had dinner inside. Arrived home at 4:30am. bleh!

for more questions about my trip, please email me at piojunbabia@yahoo.com or YM me on the same yahoo id... i did not write things on details.

Sweet Garden

I took this picture some months ago in Chali Beach Resort, Gusa Cagayan de Oro City. In this photo, it doesn't look attractive but when you try to look at the real actual place, it seems to be fascinating and you would want to grasp the depth of its beauty. I felt dismay when I see the result of the photo when it was not that attractive as what I see there. In fact, I don't want to post this photo in this blog but I was thinking that it would be better to post this for remembrance because I am deleting this picture on my hard drive.

Right after seeing this again, I found out this this picture looked nice and I feel it is taken by a professional photographer. Before I did not see its beauty, but now, I found it is good.
