Between destinations cruisers can enjoy leisurely stints on four exceptional cruise ships including 17 nights cruising Europe on the glamorous P&O Oceana, 31 nights taking in the Eastern delights of Hong Kong, China, Korea and Japan on Holland America’s elegant Volendam liner, 8 nights on activity-packed Carnival Legend taking in the spectacular glaciers of Alaska and 7 nights on Cunard’s opulent Queen Mary 2 making the transatlantic crossing from New York back to Southampton.

Ukkil at Sutla: The Traditional Decorative Arts and Textiles of Islamic Mindanao

Wazzup Pilipinas!

The Magbassa Kita Foundation and UP Vargas Museum mark the end of Ramadan, and the celebration of the Eid’l Fit’r with an exhibition showcasing the traditional decorative arts and textiles of the Islamic Peoples of Mindanao.

Ukkil at Sutla features fine examples of two aspects of the traditional arts of Islamic Mindanao. Ukkil, the foliate designs that are found in a variety of household items, architectural details and royal paraphernalia, and interpreted in a range of materials ,from wood to silver, from carabao horn and gilt brass.

Sutla, on the other hand, is the silk weaving tradition once common among the Maranao, Maguindanao, Tausug and Yakan peoples. Now no longer practiced, the silk tradition is exemplified by important vintage examples of the Maranao Malong landap and andon, the Tausug pisyabit headscarves and kandit sashes, the restrained plaid malong of the Maguindanao and the tapestry-woven seputangan of the Yakan.

Complementing the objects and providing a continuum are artworks as well as archival materials on Mindanao from the Vargas Collection, which show how non-Islamic artists saw the peoples of Mindanao. Three large-scale works by National Artist Abdulmari Imao will also be presented alongside the objects to show how the Ukkil tradition has been re-interpreted by a contemporary artist.

Ukkil at Sutla opens on Tuesday, August 5 at 4pm at the Vargas Museum.

Orgreenics Greenhouse: An Inauguration of a Promising Organic Farm

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Located at Sto. Nino Plaridel, Bulacan, the newly-launched Orgreenics Greenhouse (Mia's Garden owned and operated by Luntiang Agri-Business Pilipinas, Inc.) is a promising venture by its proud owners who are actually not new in running successful businesses.

They proudly introduced their totally remarkable greenhouse at an inauguration held last July 26, 2014 - a very rainy night but I look at it as if nature is participating in blessing the new establishment. We welcome the creation of a very noble endeavor to produce more earth-friendly farm products like strawberries and grapes grown in a controlled environment.

Though we were caught in a traffic jam because of the rain, we made it just in time when ECOLEADERS Mark Valencia was about to introduce the Atmospheric Water Generators (AWG) Technology manufactured by ECOLOBLUE which plays a major part in the Orgreenics Greenhouse project.

The famed "water from air" technology is highly employed in the operation of the organic farm, and we luckily got to try drinking water from it again during the inauguration. The owner boasts of its alkaline content which is a lot healthier than the normal drinking water that we usually drink, which means the plants grown at the organic farm are actually enjoying healthier water.

We were also among the first ones to earn Zing Rewards points by simply swiping our cards on swiping stations carried by Zing Rewards representatives during the event

All of us were getting instant points while we dine on an impressive buffet dinner and entertained by world renowned Filipino magician and mentalist Erik Mana, which was also followed by several fabulous song numbers from a delightful lady performer. Don't forget the Wi-Fi Internet access which allowed us to tweet and post away on social media using our smartphones and tablets.

Red Turnip Theater has just presented its initial offering for the season and oh Wow! - The Rabbit Hole press preview took us into another world - seemingly dark yet full of relatable emotions that might make you insane if you look into life so seriously.

Topper Fabregas directs a play that centers on a couple coping with grief due to the lost of a child, but interesting enough was the fact that somehow, we found a few bits and pieces of situations when we couldn't stop laughing or grinning for a while.

The press preview held at Whitespace located at Chino Roces Avenue Extension of Makati last August 1, 2014 was for me an unforgettable night filled with confused emotions that got recalled because of a past experience that I wanted to forget just to move on with our lives. But it seems life is such a naughty little kid that wants to play with us just for the fun of it.

Some of us must have gone through the same "rabbit hole" where none of our friends and families were able to ring us out entirely. There will be times when the feeling comes in uncontrollably as if we are losing our minds, suddenly staring at nowhere for an instant that will last from a few seconds to a couple of minutes, then you'll find yourself doing unimaginable things probably out of desperation that still lingers all throughout your lifetime.

The lost of a loved one is never easy. That is why we need more of our families and friends around us to constantly remind us that there are other people caring for us outside the horrible "rabbit hole."

For the opening for its 36th season, Ed Lacson Jr. directs Tanghalang Ateneo's Middle Finger - an adaptation of the controversial Frank Wedekind’s modern classic, Spring Awakening, which tells the story of repressed sexual urges among the youth. Written by Han Ong and translated into Filipino by Ronan B. Capinding, the play promises to tackle prevalent issues that seems to be every generations confrontations.

The audience are seated around the stage for greater intimacy and the actors all come out from almost everywhere as the play transitions from one scene to the next. The audience is treated to various sexual scenarios and carnal desires from masturbation to prostitution, and everything else in between. But I wouldn't want to be a spoiler and tell you everything I've seen and experienced. You have to go there for yourself and personally be awed at the amazing production.

The longest-running theater company of the Loyola Schools of the Ateneo de Manila University has a season theme of Navigating Identities, and thus the play which centers on two Filipino teenagers, Jakob Rodriguez and Benjamin Lunga, explores an identity crisis among the boys who are presented here as students studying in a Catholic school. You can find a deep struggle to define one's individuality and significance in this world, as what we will also encounter in their upcoming plays for the season.

One of the highlights of HAJA PARTY: 90s Pop and Kpop Clash is ARE U MY SEOULMATE?, an online contest in promotion of the song SOULMATE. The song is originally recorded by M3G, as their second single. It is supposed to mark their comeback as everyone anticipates them to perform this song live on October 31.

However, two of its members are allegedly getting a fix causing their uncontrollable misbehavior most of the time during official functions under Playhouse Production. “I have tried to talk to them, console them on their personal issues but there is really something unusual in the frequent fluctuation of their emotions. They always complain about extreme body pains but would resist to be brought to a physician”, explains Michelle Ann Rio, manager of M3G and founder of Playhouse Production.

The worst that they did was to spread misinformation that the event is canceled via social media and through other kpop events. “I had to release official statements also through social media and call each participant to explain the situation.
