I only see Chinese paintings of Chinese movies and Chinese establishments and I never imagined to have a closer view of it during the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students celebration of Chan Lim's 80 birthday. What's more interesting is that I get to experience first hand how to do Chinese painting taught by one of their students. And since the exhibit is near the celebration of the Chinese New Year we get to see Chinese cultures, designs and a whole lot of things about Chinese.

The Chan Lim Family of Artists made a welcoming opening for the Chinese New Year with their exhibit at SM North EDSA.
The event of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Stduents made an interesting program for the guests, media and bloggers. We were first taught of doing the Chinese painting and later on the program which showcases Chinese culture and lastly was the opening ceremony or the cutting of the ribbon to officially open the exhibit. 


During the celebration, one of the Chan Lim siblings, Dr. Alex Chan Lim made a fast demonstration on how to do Chinese painting . It was fast and amazing how he easily creates something without outlines. According to him and since it is a demonstration with a short period of time that he has to have a picture in his mind right before he does the demo.



For almost half a century the Chan Lim Family has been engaged in the arts and has created a lot of Chinese paintings. At present, there are three generations of Chan Lim artists who use a wide variety of media, styles and techniques to incorporate Western into Eastern art. The family continues to get involved in the arts by actively developing and promoting Chinese brush painting in the Philippines and abroad. The Chan Lims also support several charitable organizations with a special focus on environmental sustainability.

The passion of Chan Lim, the family patriarch, lies in Oil and Watercolor. While most of his art are on canvas, he has forayed into other media such as porcelain plates. Asian lanterns and fans to infuse Western techniques into the traditional Eastern art. The Chan Lim siblings Alex, Felix, Rolex and Jolex are all engineers by profession and are currently engaged in leadership positions with multinational companies. Bound by their passion for the arts, the Chan Lim family of Artists has conducted numerous exhibits locally and internationally. The elder Chan Lims have successfully nurtured the artistic talents of the third generation. The younger brood enjoys experimenting with different types of media, along with modern digital techniques, and incorporates these into Chinese art.
The year 2017 celebrates Chan Lim’s 80th birth year, a very auspicious milestone in the Chinese culture. All the art exhibits during the year will be highlighting this event. Eight of the exhibits will be specially-themed to celebrate the felicitous family event.

After the successful TV series “Dolce Amore,” Liza Soberano and Enrique Gil’s love team more popularly known as LizQuen will make a comeback on the big screen in the upcoming Star Cinema film “My Ex and Whys,” which will soon screen in key countries worldwide via TFC@theMovies.

Followers in and outside the Philippines have witnessed how the two Kapamilya stars evolved as actors in their recent TV series. Before the series, they were first paired in the film “She’s the One” in 2013, with Bea Alonzo and Dingdong Dantes. Their first lead film was “Just the Way You Are” in 2015 which was immediately followed the same year by another film, “Everyday I Love You.”

Now, after a year of skipping the silver screen, the love team is back and will star in a light but relatable film which will show how their characters they will portray will be engaged what in the words of Gil, is a “more mature relationship” compared with their previous characters.
Describing their roles, Gil first talked about his character Gio: “I play a playboy who will try to prove he has changed.”

On the other hand, Soberano will portray Gio’s ex-girlfriend Cali. “My character is very modern – a blogger – who is hesitant to fall in love again. She is afraid to get hurt all over again),” Soberano says.

Gil teased that the audiences will surely relate with their characters, especially since most of the scenes in the film are based on stories of real people.
In the story “My Ex and Whys,” Cali, the blogger dreams of being a social media influencer. The popularity of her blog skyrockets after her exchange of messages with social media user @DahilListBoy goes viral. She grabs the opportunity and meets him, only to find out that he’s her ex-boyfriend Gio who has once broken her heart and who is reaching out to win back her heart on purpose.

To have a better understanding of the film’s story, Soberano shares their tactic. “We asked guys about different situations in relationships and why men cheat” she relates.
The film started to grind last year, and some of the scenes were shot in the popular tourist spots in South Korea. This film is under the supervision of the box office director Cathy Garcia-Molina who was behind popular films like “One More Chance,” “A Very Special Love,” and “My Amnesia Girl” to name a few.

Also starring in the film are Joey Marquez, Ara Mina, Arlene Muhlach, Dominic Roque, Ryan Bang, Neil Coleta, Cai Cortez, and Hyubs Azarcon.

As Gio tries to prove to Cali that he’s a changed man, can Cali open her heart again to love and give her old flame a second chance? Find out the answers in the film “My Ex and Whys,” which will soon screen in key countries worldwide via TFC@theMovies: February 16 in UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, and Oman; February 17 in the U.S. and Canada; February 18 and 19 United Kingdom; February 19 Vienna in Austria; Milan and Rome in Italy, Malta; Madrid and Barcelona in Spain; February 23 in Papua New Guinea and February 24 in Saipan; and March 5 in Hong Kong.

Moms and moms-to-be eagerly await the onset of summer as the countdown to the first ever Mom and Baby Expo begins. Organized by the Perinatal Association of the Philippines (PAP), the exhibit showcases all facets of comprehensive perinatal healthcare such as products, services, technology and new methods, all of which are intended in aiding Filipina mothers and their infants.

 
“Our objective is simple yet powerful: to impart advices and traverse new ideas moms and expectant moms can use that will ultimately strengthen their maternal bond with their babies” says PAP President Dra. Belen Velasco. “This is very exciting because this is something big, something we have envisioned to happen for the longest time. And now, finally, we are doing it.”

The Mom and Baby Expo 2017 will showcase a series of talks from perinatal experts, pocket workshops, fun and informative activities, selling booths, food stalls and many more. “In the past, we have mounted a number of interesting, fun and successful assemblies in the aim of improving the health of both mothers and infants. This year, we are very proud of our passionate members with decades of proven and justified experience in their fields of expertise, led by Dra. Velasco, thought of this exhibition” shares Dr. Diosdado Mariano, past PAP President. “The Expo is an opportunity to analyze and seek solutions to existing issues pertaining to maternal-fetal and newborn areas in an engaging and fun way.”
Gladly that PAP organized this kind of expo, the first ever mom and baby combined expo. Not just for the welfare of baby but for mommy as well. Knowing that in reality, many cases of early pregnancy is on the teenage years. This will be a sort of awareness to tap those who are not yet ready to have a baby, for them to properly take care their babies and to have a healthy life between mommy and the baby.
I will definitely let other mommies and my mommy friends know this invitation. I will encourage them to attend this expo to help them learn more about mommy and baby things. Since I have kids  and one of them whom I still consider as my baby, we will be attending this event. It will be a bonding moment for us.
The Mom and Baby Expo 2017 will be held on April 21-23 at the SM Megamall Megatrade Halls 2 and 3. The three-day event is made possible by the PAP, in partnership with its trusted affiliates- the Philippine Obstetrical and Gynecology Society (POGS), Philippine Pediatrics Society (PPS), Philippine Society of Newborn Medicine (PSNbM), Mother and Child Nurses Association of the Philippines (MCNAP), and the Integrated Midwives Association of the Philippines (IMAP).

Yours truly was able to have a chit chat with this gorgeous and bubbly teen actress in an event at Sip & Gogh. It was great and one of the first thing that I'll be squealing is that this little lady loves to paint. Since the place is about painting I was also forced to do painting even though I'm really bad at it. But it was a good experience.

It was a big break in small movie that gave her the opportunity. Here are some interesting things and facts that you might want to know about Teri.

  4. Last year, she took home the Best Actress Award at the 15th New York Asian Film Festival and 38th Moscow International Film Festival for her role in the indie film "Hamog."

When a mom like me who doesn't know much about art is placed in an exhibit of beautiful artworks, well, I definitely go in awe and amazed. Yes, I'm one of those unlucky ones who did get much talent about arts. And having to know people with this great talent really amazes me. Just like the exhibit of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at The Block Activity Center in SM North EDSA, I was really in awe. It was great to see the artworks and to know the artists during the event held at The Block where they showcase the work that created by different artists under the mentorship of the family patriarch, Jose Chan Lim of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students.

The artworks displayed in the exhibit were created using different kinds of medias like the painting on scrolls where the scrolls are made up of rice papers. There were also paintings on fans and lanterns using watercolor. Another were the porcelain plates, which they glazed and baked it first in order to preserve the original color of the paints. All of the artworks themes were nature like the flowers, mountains, plants and animals.

The Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students did the very first experience for them last January 29 where they stayed with their artworks, explained a few bits about it and shed a short story about the brushstorkes of the artworks. One of the siblings, Dr. Alex Chan Lim lead the walk tour of the exhibit.


The exhibit of the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students artworks will run until February 12. So if you love arts and most especially Chinese artworks better visit the exhibit and see for yourself how beautiful their pieces are.
If you're interested in studying Chinese Paintings you can join the art classes offered by the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at their studio/gallery in Pasig City for only Php6,000.00 for 10 sessions.

Debunking Baby Sleep Myths

Sleep has always been one of the biggest concerns for first-time parents. We witness first-hand the effects of what a missed nap or a delayed bedtime can do to our babies, and with so much information to process, we can’t blame ourselves if we get caught up in bedtime myths.

Here are a few common bedtime myths that you may not have known could be solved by trouble-free remedies.
1. “My baby is just a poor sleeper. There’s nothing I can do about it.”

There is no such thing as a ‘poor sleeper’. The trick is to help your baby get more familiar with bedtime. According to several sleep experts, one of the most effective ways is by establishing a bedtime routine.

JOHNSON'S®: recently came out with the first scientifically-proven bedtime routine, which consists of three simple steps: Bath, Massage, and Quiet Time. When used with the official line of Bedtime™ products—made with NATURALCALM™ aromas and a NO MORE TEARS® Mildness® formula—it guarantees your baby an additional one hour of sleep, after just seven days.
2. “Babies wake because they are breast fed.”
Plenty of factors could affect a baby’s sudden waking in the night—it could be caused by a genetic predisposition, developmental age, environment, or even a previously introduced sleep habits. Avoid feeding and rocking your baby before putting him/her to sleep because this may also enforce an unnecessary habit that he/she may carry with him/her when growing up.
3. “If I get my baby tired enough, she’ll be able to sleep through the night.”

Babies actually benefit from sleep more than we think, so it’s important that we don’t deprive them of these by trying to desperately get them to sleep. According to Dr. Agnes Tirona-Remulla, ENT-Head and Neck Specialist, who sub-specializes in Sleep Medicine and Surgery, babies gain three things from sleep: physical, emotional, and cognitive development—stronger immune system, proper weight regulation, improved social skills and mother-child interaction, enhanced learning and memory.
4. “Don’t give your baby a bath at night! He’ll catch a cold.”

This is probably one of the most common bedtime myths Filipino moms hear; but contrary to what our elders say, giving our babies a bath in the evening is actually a good way of preparing them for sleep.

The warm bath loosens up their muscles and helps them relax, signaling them that it’s almost time to go off to dream land.
5. “I’ll wait until my baby is a toddler to help him sleep better.”

It’s no easy task to teach your baby how to sleep, so why delay it when you can start early? As Dr. Remulla said, the best thing about establishing a bedtime routine is that it instills good sleeping habits, as well, as a good sleep schedule. This in turn, guarantees both you and your child a longer, more restful slumber in the long-run. For more tips on how to better sleep train your baby, you can visit www.johnsonsbaby.com.

The FUJIFILM GFX 50S

A dream is only a dream when you don’t act on it. For the pièce de résistance, FUJIFILM Corporation introduces you to the FUJIFILM GFX 50S. The GFX 50S has the highest ever image quality from the company and is categorized as a medium format mirrorless camera. It adopts the FUJIFILM G Format (43.8 x 32.9mm medium format) sensor and utilizes a whopping 51.4 MP. This is industrial and chic, perfect for those who are looking for cameras equipped with a large sized sensor with an even higher number of effective pixels. If you want something commercial grade, this is the perfect gear for any genre of photography. Fujifilm will also be releasing the “FUJINON GF63mmF2.8 R WR”, “FUJINON GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR” and “FUJINON GF120mmF4 R LM OIS WR Macro” interchangeable lenses.

Driving on image design technology for over 80 years, they've built an unbelievable camera that's got 1.7x the area of full frame sensors. It hastens excellent light reception because of the large area of each pixel and it produces high quality images that could exceed and beat cameras equipped with full size sensors. The Movie function on the GFX 50S also supports Full HD recording and people can enjoy high quality shots even with no post-processing done on it. This is the ultimate high-end mirrorless camera made with Magnesium alloy making it one of the most compact and lightweight devices in this class. It only weighs 1.23 kilograms together with the standard lens (GF63mm F2.8 R WR). If you think about it, that's about 60% the weight of a medium format DSLR camera that's equipped with a sensor of the same size. This is also special as it's got a detachable structure, adopted for user convenience. The EVF-TL1 EVF tilt adapter is also sold separately and you can conveniently use the LCD to focus on subjects. They will also be churning out ultra-high resolution FUJINON GF Lenses aside from the ones done for the GFX 50S. Hopefully to become future ready for those who are in the plans to upgrade gears? If you plan to have higher quality images, perhaps it's time you get the GFX 50S, the GF Lens line too. This would be a really great investment for those who are keen to have the best photos, videos and the most advanced camera technologies in the world today.
