Pictures at an exhibition | Writing on Air by Jim Paredes

for everyone

I just came from the Shangrila Mall to attend the opening of an exhibit where the APO was featured together with Manny Pacquiao, Dolphy, FPJ, Bitoy, Lea Salonga and a few others.

Peque Gallaga! What can I say! I loved this portrait.

The pieces were done by artists connected with Gallery 7, a store near the fourth floor escalator going up to the 5th floor.

Lea Salonga!

I found the exhibit quite fresh and even exciting. They treated the ‘icons’ in different styles from Andy Warhol to manga renditions.

A young Dolphy!

Do go and see the portraits of Manny Pacquiao, Gloria Diaz, Parokya ni Edgar, Bitoy, Judy Anne, and a few more. Enjoy few of the works taken with my iphone.

I even saw Susan Roces who graced the occasion on behalf of Da KIng, her deceased better half.

Hi Jim,

I hope you remember me. I was the one who sent you the Ithaca poem (ref: http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ithaca).

I would like to invite you to http://www.ateneoalumnibluebook.org/ Like many Ateneans who have gone abroad, we aspire to make a difference in the Philippines. We created a website that seeks to unify Ateneans from all around the world in the hope of funding projects (scholarships) and sharing our expertise. At this point, leaders of the various Ateneo Alumni Associations have banded together to create one website.

I am hoping you check out the website since I believe that you have a lot to share among Ateneans around the world. Your wit, sense of humor and knack for writing can inspire Ateneans living abroad.

Please join us! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.

Thanks!
– Mario

I love the Peque Gallaga portrait too.
