A New Light of Prosperity with Chinese Painting at SM Malls.


For the coming Lunar New Year celebration, SM City North EDSA proudly presents over 100 hand painted lanterns by the notable Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students which will be showcased from January 24 to February 11. 

 

The first of its activities for the Lunar New Year is showcasing the extensive collection of hand painted lanterns from the Chan Lim Family of Artists and Students at SM City North EDSA The Block Atrium. 

Being a well known decoration during festivities, The Chinese Lantern is a great piece to use to paint for celebrations. The lanterns also symbolize a wish for a brighter future for everyone. 

 

As part of the opening, we were also given the chance to try in doing the traditional way of painting by some of the students themselves. I remember back in college I took an elective class in calligraphy so its the same but instead of writing I was painting. 



After the painting demo, there were also performances using traditional Chinese musical instruments which were really nice because I grew up around the Chinese/Japanese/Korean culture so the sound is very unique to me. 


Aside from the Chinese Lantern Exhibit that will be held at the Block atrium, there will also be other exciting activities for everyone such as Chinese Musical Performances, Oriental Market, Astrological readings and a dragon dance!

My addictions: My cute yet ferocious dog named John

Shocking isn't it? haha!  Let me introduce to you my dog named John. Believe it or not he had a brother named Lloyd... get it John and Lloyd. Blame my mom for their names LOL But besides from that he is one peculiar kind of dog. He has a mannerism to act adorable one minute but turn annoying after another.  He has been with us for like 5 years or longer. He is a mix of Labrador and Pitbull.  I took that photo a couple of days ago when I was in a trigger happy mode. I took pictures of my niece and my nephew, our newly renovated house and of course my pets. I was actually asking him to look at me and when he did he suddenly yawn. And that is how I had that shot.  He is actually a really nice dog, he is a bit territorial but most dogs are like that. He actually likes my Labrador Retriever named Georgia. I'll let you meet Georgia next time. ^_^ Much Love!  Alice

I have already gone blonde although that was a little hard to maintain since I remember being told to go back after a number of weeks to have my roots done but never seem to do it because  1. The salon I got it done was quite far from my place.  2. Its still expensive 3. It would damage my hair tremendously I still have qualms about getting my hair colored again professionally so I asked my mom if its much better if I color it myself - she said yes but gave me the low down on the things I have to do...remembering all those information was a toughie but I was able to get a simpler solution with it - this hair dye shampoo~  My mom discovered this actually and asked me to try it on my hair since she knows I need to cove
