Art Expression Gallery

Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci (April 15, 1452 – May 2, 1519) was an Italian polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, scientist, mathematician, engineer,inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist and a writer. Leonardo has often been described as the archetype of the Renaissance man, a man whose unquenchable curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention. He is widely considered to be one of the greatestpainters of all time and perhaps the most diversely talented person ever to have lived.According to art historian Helen Gardner, the scope and depth of his interests were without precedent and "his mind and personality seem to us superhuman, the man himself mysterious and remote". Marco Rosci points out, however, that while there is much speculation about Leonardo, his vision of the world is essentially logical rather than mysterious, and that the empirical methods he employed were unusual for his time.

Word Filled Day

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear
Of those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it.

Round: This kind of brush is used for details.


Flat: This is used in spreading the paint quickly and it is used also to evenly spread over the surface.

Hello! Today is Monday...  I am in my room beside the window looking at the road and the tree. As I was thinking of things I remember last year 2009 regarding the God's Big Backyard theme. Yearly there will be a Vacation Bible School every month of May at Blessed Hope Christian Community Church International. That event was made possible for the children to learn how to serve family, serve friends, serve neighbor, serve community, and serve Jesus. It was formulated for the benefits of the children to know God and be able to appreciate service as an act of kindness to others.

Hello! Today is Sunday... Anyway, i would like to share this souvenir of mine. Look at this photo.This event was a dinner fellowship with the CU (Capitol University) Campus Ministry group in partnership with the BOB (Band of Brothers) and F4J (Femmes for Jesus) . It happened last July 2010 at Inilog Grill, Cagayan de Oro City. Everyone had fun and enjoyed the group discussions while eating. It was a heavy meal because of the "Rice All You Can" (you can eat rice as long as you want without extra charge) hahahahaha... It was full of blessings as I saw everyone having a great time during that night.

Look at these...

The whole day was great after the Million Leaders Mandate at Limketkai Mall – Cagayan de Oro City. I with my friends Mark Mabanta, Joahna Vern Filoteo, and Julie Ann Tan went at the restaurant that makes and sells pizzas “Pizzeria” which is at bfb (Big Flat Bread). We ate “Godfather Pizza” which is oven-baked, flat, disc-shaped bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese and various toppings. That day was full of fun and we enjoyed a lot as we stayed at about 2 hours by just merely talking and laughing while eating.
