THE FERRIS WHEEL BESIDE AN OLD BUILDING

A DREAM:

There were two boys playing beside an old building...

Suddenly, a huge Ferris Wheel appeared and attached itself to that old, decaying building...

The Ferris Wheel looked like a Time Machine, but still, it was a Ferris Wheel, with a circular form

and an UP and DOWN motion...

There were chairs, too, and a machine that rolled over.

One boy asked his playmate: "Come with me, let's take a ride."

The other boy couldn't say no to his friend, and went along with him to ride on the Ferris Wheel.

The two boys went up to the 17th floor of the old building, for it was there where the Ferris Wheel chair was easier to climb.

It was a joyous ride as it turned up and down.

But, after one up and down turn only, it abruptly stopped at the 16th floor.

The boy who invited his friend told the other: "You can go down from here and I will follow."

In his face was a peculiar emotion, almost uncertain, almost sad.

And the other boy simply followed his command and he went down from the Ferris Wheel and saw the "16th" floor sign of the building.

When he looked back to where his friend was.

He was GONE.

MS. LOVELY RIVERO AND "A TASTE OF LOVE"....

LOVELY: SHOWS-OFF HER COOKING UTENSILS IN "A TASTE OF LOVE"

the cast and staff of A TASTE OF LOVE

ms. lovely rivero continued-on doing her share, and one is cooking for the frontliners at the Covid-19 Pandemic

ms. lovely rivero and her late mom (r.i.p.)

After watching her on the number one hit TV drama series last week on MAGPAKAILANMAN, wherein she acted so naturally, deeply and wonderfully, oh wow, Ms. Lovely Rivero, this time around, turns the tables of the dining area and gets to taste some original cooking recipes in the afternoon cooking show entitled A TASTE OF LOVE.

Aired every Saturdays and Sundays at the Pinoy Xtreme Cable TV (SkyCable: 217, Destiny Channel: 84, Cignal TV: 106, and Cable Link: 59), "A taste of Love" is a Lifestyle and Culinary show. Hosted by no less than Ms. Lovely Rivero, of course, who's considered as one of the most respected actresses of Philippine Cinema in terms of being so private, decent and educated celebrity.

"The show showcases another aspect of my personality", Ms. Lovely said to a blogger. "Ever since I was young, I loved to cook for my family and friends. I never knew that someday I'm going to be a host of beautiful show like this. Every week, we will have special guests. And this Saturday and Sunday is our second episode already."

But Lovely, aside from being busy in her works as an actress and TV host now, never failed to continue on providing food packs and relief goods to the Frontliners and the needy. These times of the GCQ, she's like a living angel out to spread her generosity and LOVE to every one. A big salute!

And before we end, our deepest condolences to Ms. Lovely and to her family for the passing-away of her mom. But still, Lovely fought stronger and harder and her professionalism was clearly visible on the Viral world as people still witnessed her advocacy to help in the Covid-19 pandemic and her dedication to her work.

Meanwhile, we're already craving for the foods to be cooked at "A Taste of Love". Surely, shows like this one will melt our stomachs.... and our hearts.

Lance Raymundo, yeah, we can say by now, is among those celebrities whose attitude we greatly admired at the times of the Pandemic...

He followed strictly the lockdowns, the safety protocols, the necessary quarantines.

He showed to this blogger, that by following the proper social distancing of avoiding physical contact to other people, wearing the facial masks, PPE's and the likes, oh wow, it will really be SAFE.

Hats down to you, Papa Lance, for being a good role model for us, for being a dutiful Filpino citizen of the Republic at the times of the Pandemic.

"ANG BAHAY NA LUMA" NI DIREK NEAL 'BUBOY' TAN...

direk Neal Tan and his forever Mark, poses in a series of photos beside the painting "Ang Bahay Na Luma", the new Masterpiece of direk Neal.

Lahat ng mga nai-post ni direk Neal 'Buboy' Tan na mga likha niyang larawan (o paintings) sa Facebook ay SOLD-OUT lahat, lalo na nu'ng sobrang mahigpit pa ang lockdown sa NCR dahil sa Covid-19 Pandemic.

Pero dito sa pinakabago niyang likhang oil canvass painting na pinamagatan niyang ANG BAHAY NA LUMA, wala pa siyang nasabi sa amin kung ito ba ay nabili na o hindi pa. Marami yatang nagbe-bet o nagbi-"BID" sa larawan na iyon, and may the highest bidder win, ika nga. Hehehehe....

Ang "Bahay Na Luma" ay isang 2 1/2 feet x 3 feet na oil on canvass painting which makes it really pretty expensive dahil sa size pa lang nito ay malulula ka na. Pero bukod doon, napaka-descriptive kasi at napaka-nostalgic ng painting na iyon. May kaluluwa, may buhay, imortal na imortal. Pati ang mga kulay na ginamit ni direk Neal, kakaiba talaga.

The painting reminds us of our ancestors in the provinces. 'Yung mga lumang bahay sa probinsya na pinapasyalan mo nuong bata ka pa. Kaya talagang very precious ang larawang likha na ito ni direk Neal, which is also his latest creation!

Sa panahon ng Pandemya, tila ata bumabalik sa Sining ang hilig ng ating mga kababayan. Muli nilang inaakap ito at pinapahalagaan. Kasi naman, nawawala ang komersyalismo sa mga panahon na ito, bumabalik ang lalim ng ating mga pagkatao.

Mabuhay ka, direk Neal Tan, sa paglikha mo ng isa na namang bagong OBRA MAESTRA!
