Gaya gaya!
Today will be one very busy day. It will start with a meeting and will end with a meeting. In between I have to talk to a civil engineer, architect and do hospital duty. I wonder where I’ll squeeze in eating in there… Hmmmm…..
I woke up early to prepare all the things I needed for the whole day and I just realized that my very big bag is already stuffed. What’s in there? Several folders for the meetings, my dslr and point and shoot cameras, my girly stuff, my hospital duty scrubsuit and sandals, celphones and 3 notebooks. Patay! siguradong magrereklamo ang makakasabayan ko sa jeepney. hahahaha! wala rin akong driver and kotse dito kaya bahala na!
Anyway, i want to leave something for you in here. this is nothing much but I got inspired with dong’s pic of this mural. This was taken in Victorias City, Negros Occidental during the Masskara Festival. I brought my friends/visitors in there. Here’s my share… gaya gaya ako kay Kuya Utoy at Dong eh. hehehe!
idol ko din si kuya utoy at dong…sobrang galing magsulat at kumuha ng pics…
calling kuya dong and kuya utoy…baka gusto nyo akong i-treat..lols

hi ate.. this mural is very controversial. The title of it is: The angry christ. It is the only mural in the world that depicts Jesus not as a saviour.

Kung dine-depict niya si Jesus as saviour, bakit siya nasa loob ng parang chapel…? It looks like it’s taken inside the church… or not?… hehe

naku, doc, iba dapat ang iko-comment ko, pero nung mabasa ko ang comment mo.ü sige, kapag nagkakita tayo, pramis, magpapa-eat-all-you-can ako sa pishbulan. syempre, bottomless din ang gulaman.ü ako pa, eh galante ako.
eto na ang comment sa pic:
ang totoo, Sacred Heart of Jesus lang talaga ang title ng mural na iyan. di lang naintindihan ng mga tao ang artistic expression ng painter kaya naging sikat siya sa monicker na Angry Christ. gustong gusto ko ang style ng artist dito kasi napakakulay at flowing ang mga linya, parang lumiliyab.
bibisitahin din natin ito? medyo malayo na ang Victorias.ü

Akala ko ako ang ginaya mo! Hahaha! Feeling lang….
Ang last kong shoot dyan was during Black Saturday of this year… It was more of a “northern Negros” tour….
If you want to practice animal shots, check out the Negros Forests and Ecological Foundation, Inc. beside Capitol Lagoon…
Wow, may DSLR ka na…. Ako, film pa rin…
Old school….

“I want to do a portfolio that showcases the beauty of negros…”
Perhaps we could do a joint shoot session… In December, when I go back home there, I’m going to feature the Gawahon Ecopark…
The mural always seem to perplex those who see it for the first time… My take on the mural:
“Local historical literature tells that a Belgian liturgical artist Ade de Bethuene designed the decorations in the baptistery and Arcadio Anore executed the designs for the baptistery and for the other parts of the church. Alfonso Ossorio, the Spanish-American Creole artist and son of the founder of Victorias Milling Company then painted the chapel along with Benjamin Valenciano, a local artist.
Ossorio’s mural depicted the resurrected Christ with hands outstretched being received into heaven by two giant, red-orange hands. The irony in the painting is that the day of ascension is a day for joy but Christ is shown as angrily ascending into heaven. A descending dove is also shown. Christ, the hands (God the Father) and the dove (Holy Spirit) aptly represent the Trinity. Shown as witnesses to the ascension are Joseph, Mary, John the Baptist and an identified woman.
Most persons view the mural as the resurrection. However, when I stared long at it, it seemed to me that the artist depicted the ascension rather than the resurrection.
The murals also contain several symbols which are often associated with the occult. One glaring symbol is the All-Seeing Eye in the church’s main beam.”
