Kuris Kuris "Jacob's Dream" by: Gil Maningo

Spent the new year talking to one of Cebu's elite artists, not to mention one of the best, Mr. Gil Maningo. He happens to be my friends dad, he definitely has one of the most colorful characters I've met. I saw his works and its a beacon of inspiration. I learned a lot from him, gave me a lot of tips on life's most essential lessons. After a few glasses of red wine and a profoundly significant conversation, he made me a painting of my future rest house. What struck me most is when he told me that he bases his works on how he sees a persons character, and this came out. It was perfect! Someday when I realize this dream, I'll proudly hang this on the wall of my dream rest house. . My very own painting from the master. Amazing!

Matchbox

This is the ultimate classic toy, well at least in my time! It's the best thing a little boy could get, I got my passion for cars from this toy. What's so cool about it is that it's just about the size of your palm... Anyway i got this awesome Warman's Matchbox Field Guide from my brother, it has all the classic matchbox toys in it. It is definitely a collectible!

Art luck

We are avid followers of this site www.artsignsinteriors.com, though a bit too contemporary for me they have a lot of fresh and interesting ideas. They happened to put up a Jagger tiger claw contest, it's a special type of art that looks like a tiger claw, here's a photo of it.
pretty cool ei? Anyway to make the long story short, you basically get a chance to win this type of art, all you have to do is fill up a form on their site and you are automatically in the game. My lucky ass cuz'n happened to fill it up, just out of spite, results came in and then this http://www.artsignsinteriors.com/contest.php#main_body believe it or not as quoted " OUT OF THE 675 PEOPLE THAT VISITED OUR JAGGER CLAW CONTEST PAGE 10 FILLED OUT THE FORM AND ENTERED TO WIN, WE'VE DECIDED TO ANNOUNCE. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . THAT ALL 10 ENTRIES WIN, WINNING SUBMISSIONS RECEIVED FROM SOUTH AFRICA, PHILIPPINES, USA, CANADA." Say what again? Philippines? hahaha We never believed it until he got an email from the site to confirm his address, they asked for one condition and that's to submit a photo of the art piece displayed with the winner in the photo. Unfortunately he has to leave for Canada so that leaves me as the soul recipient, wow! I get to have a photo in their site. Something very inetersting indeed.

Cross section

This was designed by Justin Sagolili, who happens to be my cousin. He made this out of guava tree branches cut cross sectionally and glued it on a wooden frame. He hanged it inside the wash room and the other one above the sink. It looks awesome! I took these photos in his house. We are trying to come up with some designs and hope someday, sell our ideas.

troodie

This is our dog named troodie, a crossbreed between a dalmatian and a Labrador retriever. She's a survivor of a parvovirus, a kind of viral illness which predominantly affects young puppies between 6 weeks and 6 months of age. Without treatment approximately 80% of affected puppies will die. Otherwise, with appropriate remedy approximately 85% of affected puppies will survive. The virus may persist in the environment for up to 5 months. Infection generally follows exposure to infected feces. The major clinical signs are vomiting and diarrhea. The diarrhea is usually yellow to yellow gray at first but quickly becomes blood tinged or dark red in most cases. So if you're planning to get a puppy, better give him parvo shots. They cost about 800 pesos each. She actually had a sibling named bam2x, unfortunately we were not able to save him from this disease.
Luckily after a shot of the parvo vaccine and 5 litters of normal saline solution she was able to recover. Now shes able to do a few tricks. Me and my brother helped train her. Check her out!
