About Eloquent Simplicity in Wood and Fiber 

Eloquent Simplicity is comprised of two intertwined exhibits exploring the versatility of wood and fiber as materials for furniture and everyday objects. Featured in the exhibits are traditional everyday objects from the Cordilleras primarily from the collections of Floy Quintos and Armand Voltaire Cating, and select contemporary designs by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, Claude Tayag, Wataru Sakuma, and Daniel Latorre Cruz.

The show seeks to define the aesthetic sensibilities of the people of the Cordillera mountains and how natural materials such as wood and fiber are used to create unique utilitarian and ritual objects. On view until September 25, Eloquent Simplicity is a continuation of the museum's thrust to highlight Philippine visual art traditions alongside contemporary expressions. 

A night of laughter & Kilig

Just a low-key night with friends at Lexie's place. What a fun, fun, fun night!

How I wish I could turn back the hands of time or that this night was never over. You know the saying, there is plenty of time to sleep when we die. So here's the kilig story. Mom drove me to Lex's place (20 minutes drive from our house). And we leave around 8pm. When I stepped out off the car. And that I am so excited to see my old friends! Then we hugged each other so tight for a while. When I entered the big gate there's the guy I've been crushing on for a while sitting alone in one corner at a table. Bigla akong natameme, for a split-second we locked eyes. He gave me his prize-winning smile. That guy I met and was introduced to me three years ago. He was so gwapo. His sturdy arm muscles. Eyes, allusive. Lips, lush. And he smelled so good. I'll end it here. The story is way too long. Hahaha!

I smiled at the thought of this. The end.

Kate, one of my favorite people in the world.

Five years, still going strong

It’s hard to believe, but apparently today marks the 5 year Anniversary of my blog. So happy birthday! It seems that it passed so fast. Yes, I know birthdays are normally an annual thing, but I’m proud for having kept this blog going long. Cheers! August 11, 2007, when I started blogging as an experiment. I had no idea then what blogging was. I was a senior high school student I think I was around 15 or 16. I was really into social media and the internet. I had stumbled upon some celebs' blogging sites. And I was hooked. I started with Livejournal and Multiply. A few months after I transfer to Blogger because it was so easy and simple to control, which I use to this day. In the early years, I named my blog Sharism inspired by ala-ism.pansitan.net but now I changed it to Color Me Shari. Here are the two blog posts I wrote on that day:

• My new account
• High school and Beyond

The only thing I do know is that blogging has had an incredible impact on my life. Thank you for journeying along with me! 

Here’s to another five years!

I saw this video about a week ago from Lia's Tumblr. Wow, just wow. I've got the urge to post this video. Anygma was on it again.  I'm blushing over here. How I wish I could fly live in Toronto. Anygma and Protege for the win!
