MIDEO CRUZ IS A SUPERSTAR.

(I will express my thoughts in taglish [english, filipino],  for this entry.)

Recently may buzz sa FB at sa News regarding Mideo Cruz's exhibit(hanapin nyo nalang sa FB, see it for yourself). Blasphemy daw yun and CBCP is filing a case against him and CCP for such work. (yan short-cut)

Eto ang commentary ko:

Dati akong devote ng church. Nakatira kami malapit sa simbahan. kapitbahay namin ay simbahan mismo. My parents are hardcore Catholics, they serve the church everyday.  So practically speaking church was part of my life.

Pero bakit ngayon agnostic na ko?

Hindi dahil ayoko maniwala kay God. I love God. I just want to practice praise by myself. I just believe that somehow people are blinded by religion.

I state this from personal experience:

Meron  kaming kapitbahay, like my parents hardcore catholic siya. Pero grabe, UBOD ng sama ng ugali, yung katulong nila na matanda na pinag mumura nya at pinalayas ng madaling araw. Yung mom ko inaway nya. AT tangapin na natin may nangyayaring politics din sa church, "ay malakas ako ke father chorva, pwede natin siyang i-convince...blah blah"

Yung Pari namin namin, sige bless ang mga bata sa kanya, pero sa likod nya may YOSI. Magarbong sasakyan pero ang mga parokyano niya walang makain. And BTW, yung ibang pari ay nang iimpluensya na ng mga parokyano kasi utos daw yun ng diyos kaya dapat gawin nila " dapat ganito..dapat ganun.."(hindi lang yan sa isang relihyon ah)

At yung ibang tao, naiinis ako kasi dahil religious sila mapapatunayan nila na malakas sila kay God. Kahit UGALI na talaga nila ang mali.  kunwari, sasabihin nila na "ako lang "INSERT RELIGION HERE" dito e, kaya nila ako inaaway, or sinisiraan, ok lang kung umalis ako ksi mag pprovide naman si "INSERT THE NAME OF THE GOD HERE.""

wala akong angst kay God, si God ay si God.

PERO. Naiinis lang ako sa mga feeling follwers niya pero sa gawa e walang wala naman. Naiinis ako sa thinking na dnodiyos diyos siya pero ang bukang bibig ay puro paninira. Naiinis ako sa mga pakitang tao na nag sisimba nga, pero pag nakatalikod demonyo nman. Naiinis ako sa mga tanong gumagamit ng pangalan ni God para sa sarili nila, para sa sarili nilang ideology, sariling masamang ugali.

kaya don't ask me kung bat ako hindi na nag sisimba, ksi honestly naiinis lang ako na may mga tao sa simbahan mismo ay masama na.

ngayun alam nyo nakung bat ayoko na ng religion.
now to get to the other point. mideo cruz.

Agree ako sa art ni mideo cruz. If it were europe, tatangapin nila ang open suggestion ni mideo sa art niya. I'll just interpret it on my own,  dahil wala na sakin ang religion. Kaya lang naman nagagalit yung mga catholic ksi feeling nila na bastos si God. Naisip ko lang, bat ngayun pa nag care yung church sa Art? porke ba hindi Jesus-Jesus ginagawa niya kelangan tablahin natin siya? Porket tablado lang ang ideologies mo sa religion kelangan murahin natin ang isang tao? edi sana di ba ginera na ng vatican ang mga countries na hindi catholic ang belief.

Alam ko sasabihin mo, e binastos nila e, binaboy nila si God...

pero natanong mo ba, YUN ba ang intent ng artist?? sirain ang belief ng tao? ilan lang ba ang nag pupunta sa CCP? sa lahat ng opennings na nakita ko never ever pa ko nakakita obispo na umatend, tapos sila ngayun ang mag didictate sa ART kung ano ang moral at imoral?

Yung art ni Mideo Cruz, para sakin doesnt contain blasphemous messeges. From the logical side, this is a view of religion, -dictatorship and pride- alam mo namn ang church dito, dapat palaging sundin... pag hindi nag tatampo, nag tatantrums and the worst case nag ppower trip.

those things na inexbhibit are inanimate things,  it is not God itself but just mere imaginations of PEOPLE of what God is. It is just a mere symbol of their faith. But faith itself is intangible SO WHY BOTHER NOW?

Di ba? kung sagrado katoliko ka nga, nasira ba ang faith mo dahil nag exhibit si mideo ng ganun? di ba hindi naman? so bakit ganun ganun nalang ang reaction ng mga catholics. ANG FISHY LANG....

thanks. yun lang. bahala na kayo kung mag cocomment kayo dito sa blog ko

majolica majorca!

Been raving (secretly) about this, MAJOLICA MAJORCA is here in manila (ewan ko kung kelan pa, heard from someone's blog meron daw silang boutique sa SM makati) I bought mine in SM north! yipeee! I've heard a lot from their mascaras, super LIKE!

mascara and lip pump

Lash Gorgeous Wing Neo (mascara)- P 795.00
Honey Pump Gloss -P 295.00
Small majolica majorca purse- FREEBIE

I 've tried the masacara in the counter, their are 2 kinds, the volume type and the lengthening type, I didnt like the applicator on the volume type (not a fan of the comb type applicator) , so I bought the lengthening one w/c has the brush applicator.I must say it really lengthens the lash, and it looks so naturale ^__^ this is my fave mascara to date <3 I love it talaga.


I also like the packaging steam punk-vintage-ish packaging <3

Majolica majorca is a sister company of Shisiedo.

I'm so happy for my office mates who recently pass the bar exams! Out of 4000+ who took the bar, 980 only passed and 2 of them are my friends waaaa! Actually ako kinabahan sa kanila, I felt  sick to my stomach waiting for their results, the anticipation is also taking a toll on me (yuck affected haha), kasi ba naman no araw araw na sila nag sisimba, biruin mo yun pwede na sila i canonize as saints kasi lahat na ata ng simbahan sinimba na nila! from the stories I heard,  I can say that it is really difficult to  pass the bar, and this bar particularly because..well.. people say it was the hardest! Thanks God! My sincerest congratulations for the two of you!

(shet bibili pa ko ng gifts nila, haha)

14. face shop # 23 professional foundation- P 355.00

whew! to tell you the truth I had fun shopping for these items!

I'm disappointed in etude house(north edsa the block branch) for not giving me freebies *mad* I been buying a lot of my products there but they never gave me good freebie, buti pa sa SM fairview and megamall branch, worth 300 lang na avail ko and I already have a free BB cream sachet, pero pinangregalo ko sayang...

Napabili ako bigla ng belo skin care, because I was hearing some good reviews on belo's products, I even heard from belo, that if you have super oily skin you can use belo for men because it is potent. I like that the toner has a whitening ingredient already such as glutathione, kojic acid and giga white,  GET THIS, IT IS SURPRISINGLY CHEAP TOO! the toner cost around 39.00pesos per 60 ml, that is cheaper than ponds!
I'm looking forward to buying the whole skin care system pero as of now what I really need is a toner so yun ang binili ko.

As for the sun block, well I was about to go home when a sales lady from belo called me and said I have to test there sunblock, and will give me a ton of freebies if I do buy the sunblock. I was really planning to buy a sunblock anyway so I went, I was surprise that belo's sunblock is NOT STICKY and REMAINS UNSCENTED. I'm a fan of not sticky products because my face tend to oil up, I've tried banana boat just because of the high SPF, but I really dont like the smell and the sticky feeling. I grabbed the face sunblock with SPF 40 (they also have the body sunblock with SPF 60 for 399) , for 299, it's really cheap considering the saleswoman is giving me tons of freebies. The sales person is really intelligent about the product, kaya mas na convince ako, She even gave me 2 facial wash samplers so I was really happy. This is great for summer so grab it na.

(hey  Dr. vicky belo, if you ever read this you have to give me free facials sobra na ang free advertising ko sa product mo, hehe)

I also bought myra-e moisturizer because my ponds moisturizer is turning into liquid (yung parang nag hihiwalay na siya, liquid then may buo buo, I wouldn't put that on my face) I heard from an officemate named ela (haha), that it is quite good. Well for 99pesos it's a steal, *it also involves a sales lady who gave me vitamin e tablets as freebies* anyway I tested it just now and it feels great already, it's also non-sticky, it absorbs quickly , im happy!


on other make up news, I did a make up look on myself again! haha! this time I was trying to make my eyes bigger!

eyelid effect (daw)

I am trying to draw myself some lids because I don't have one, well what do you think! maybe need lots of false eyelash and that big contact lenses *someday* ^__^
