Paris, France
 

Sir Eddie,

SHARIF JESSIE DY UMALI
I am the main player of this events as president of the 5 members core group (like hermano/hermana mayor) but I never seen even single picture of mine. Sir Eddie joke lang! hindi naman importante yon; ang mahalaga ay nakapag pasaya tayo sa ating mga kababayang Pinoy dito sa France.

This year of 2009 ay nagtiwala silang muli sa akin, ibinutong muli na mapabilang sa FILCOM Core Group 2009 kaya makakaasa ang ating mga kababayan na higit pa naming pagbubutihin ang Pista sa Paris 2009 sa taong ito.

Dala ng aking pagiging labis na abala at huli man ay Binabati kita at ang iyong butihing maybahay kasama ang buong pamilya ng "Happy New Year" kalakip ang aking dalangin na pagkaluoban kayo ng magandang kalusugan at Mabuhay! ang MUNTING NAYON NEWS MAGAZINE.

My best regards,

Jessie Dy Umali

It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines.  We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house.  Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch.  Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous.  It was time for some physical vacation activities.  Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan. 

Coron is remote.  We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea.  Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach.  The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.

Experienced painters are often confronted with the problem of what to do with their early works whose originally unnoticed flaws have become more obvious with the passage of time.

Some professionals suggest the slash-and-burn option which consists in carrying out literally what the words mean. One should get rid of anything that could blot one's otherwise brilliant portfolio. Some artists already held in high esteem find this a sensible solution to avoid damage to their reputation or a plunge in their market-value. But, in this age when the dividing line between mediocrity and excellence in art appears to be non-existent, this suggestion seems extreme.

The majority, of course, recommend keeping them as is. One should not be ashamed of one's humble beginnings. If anything, early works are testaments to the artist's hard-fought struggles to achieve perfection or fitting preludes to a story with a happy ending. This is fine as long as one is willing to be reminded constantly of one's previous mistakes.
