Hallo kuya Eddie,

Talaga bang wala ng printed copies sini circulate ang MN?

If so, what a very commendable job that you are still are busy continuing your work in a digital form.!!

What a service! Honestly, hanga ako diyan. Ma-a-update pa rin ang Pinoy community regularly wherever they are.

I myself am circulating it to my network.

Ang bait, selfless at sipag naman ninyo kuya Ed at ate Orchid!

May your tribe increase! Mabuhay at uunlad pa sana kayo.

Till next issue..... and wish you lots of S U C C E S S!

Warm regards,
Fe J.

Tom Tañada´s 3rd Concert in Anchorage, Alaska

Thu 21st July 2011

ANchorage, Alaska

Aurora S. Hovland - Anchorage, Alaska, U.S.A.
Tom Tañada's Concert last June 24, 2011 gave Alaskans an evening to remember! His diverse genres was enjoyed by his audience. This was his 3rd concert in Anchorage and a request from other cities of this state would bring him back for the 4th time. Alaskans especially of Filipino heritage enjoyed the regional folk music the best, although his classical and contemporary ones were such a pleasure to listen. Salamat Tom! Hasta la vista!

Before going to Aklan during this Philippine vacation, we visited the Bicol region and Palawan. We were joined by Danny and Cindy’s sons, Chip and Kitt, and granddaughter Kaye in Bicol. Chip and Cherry’s toddler Carl was also with us. Carl was a constant source of laughter for us, with his developing vocabulary and thickly-accented singing.

Fr. Danny T. Imperial, Cindy’s old-time friend, was our most gracious host in Naga City. He held a private mass for Boy and Teng to celebrate their renewal of vows on their 41^st wedding anniversary, and a thanksgiving mass for our sister Quiding, who celebrated a milestone birthday in late December. Father Danny gave us the rare privilege of viewing the 300-year-old wooden statue of Our Lady of Peñafrancia. He told us his personal account of how the image was stolen then recovered in the early 1980’s. We even had the opportunity to join the healing sessions of the Daughters of Mary at the Basilica....

This still life was painted in 2003 when painting was for me more enthusiasm than expertise. This work was quite acceptable to me then if not perfect in terms of forms and composition. The shells, the main objects of interest and basically orange in color, were set off by a complementary blue atmosphere. The sturdy triangular arrangement bound the various elements into one strong unified whole. The yellow peaches and fruits marked the tips of the triangle that served as an enclosure of where the excitement was concentrated. Very little seemed to be lacking in this creation.

But, looking at it now, I can't resist the urge to inject more vibrant colors and greater atmospheric perspective in what now appears to be a dull and flat composition. Neither can't I help noticing other shortcomings: the lemon peel is too long, the shells lack natural luster, the fruits and leaves are not fresh, and the strong contrast between the warm and cool table draperies grab too much attention. A renovation is certainly needed and is clearly the most logical next step....
