There will be a display of decent Mixed-Media works by Jeho Bitancor at Kanto Artist Run Space, on October 19, 2013 at 7 pm.

Having lived in the US for six years with neither milk nor honey (as the artist relies on his income outside the country), Jeho Bitancor reflects on the Dollar Tree store which is a veritable source of basic necessities for the less-privileged.

He parodies consumerism itself and contemporary art practice by treating the store as both junkyard and minefield from where to gather inspiration and materials alike.

Opening will be Oct 19 and exhibition will run until Nov 3.

Sweat to Accomplishment :)

Sweat--- a common used to everyone and known as to labor or exert oneself so as to cause perspiration. This story has relevance with sweat or perspiration. Prepare yourself for a tiring and exciting story of achievement.

It all started when our MAPEH teacher, Ser Gabby, announced that there will be an Aero dance Competition between the sections present on our batch. It’s the second time that we are to join this contest and anticipate that other sections will grab the bacon since they were the winners last season.

Although we look forward that we will not win the fight however, we still encourage ourselves since this will be the last time we are to join this Aerodance Competition.

Hey, have you heard about a Sciolympics? Well, it's a combination of science and olympics. If you haven't experienced a Sciolympics, well I'm telling you it's really fun!

Pasig City Science High school just held its 2nd Sciolympics last September 30, 2013 with the theme of " MIND POWER and BODY WORKS".

It is the second time for us to seniors to experience this but it's the first time for the lower years. This event was a project of the science department. There were ten teams and each team was assigned with a specific color. Luckily, I belong to the Pinky Team with Mr. Gabby Lamsen as our team leader. ☺

Being bullied, whether at school, or at the playground, or anywhere within your neighborhood by other children the same age as you could become a very traumatizing experience. Unconsciously, it creates an emotional burden in our personality that may somehow bring our confidence down, and what's worst is that we may take this inferiority complex with us all throughout our lives - at work, as we start a family, as we raise our kids, etc.,. Unknowingly, if you have experienced being bullied during your younger years, it might have forever stained or bruised you, admit it or not.

The effects are damaging and may become a lifetime of struggle. We should act quickly before our children suffer the same disturbance to an otherwise peaceful and productive life.

iAcademy is actively promoting an Anti-Bullying Campaign in support of the National Bullying Prevention Month of October.

Below is a video made by the students to help create awareness and support the Anti-Bullying Campaign.

Anne Curtis Smith is the Wow Group's newest endorser of Grand Videoke. Annebisyosa now titled as "grANNEdiosa" for being the new face of the videoke microphone formerly branded as Wow Magic Sing, which then changed its name to Wow Videoke and had product endorsers like Regine Velasquez (Asia's Songbird) and Charice Pempengco (International Singing Sensation) - and don't forget Willie Revillame as side endorser on his Wowowillie show.

Anne truly reflects most Filipinos who would be using the gadget that makes anybody sound like a pro because of its technology that somehow enhances your singing capability and helps you to comfortably and confidently sing with all your might. It's definitely a lot better than singing inside the bathroom.

We all know that Anne is not a professional singer, and she must have been playing around with gadgets like these before to practice, so everyone is assured that she will use the Grand Videoke to dramatically improve her singing prowess.

As what Andres V. Sanchez Jr., President of Wow Group, has said - they wanted a brand Ambassador that may not necessarily be a Soul Siren like Nina (I think he should have said Asia's Songbird like Regine Velasquez) or an International Singing Sensation like Charice Pempengco, but one who personalizes the "madlang people" and having a lot of followers in her TV, movie, and social media accounts is a big bonus.
