Beautiful things!

Friday, February 19th, 2010

It has been such a wonderful week so far. I am excited! I am at a lounge in Narita, Japan waiting for my flight to New York! YAHOO! In the past few days, I have been on an emotional roller coaster ride so I decided to fill my thoughts with beautiful things that inspire me.

I had a “Mardi-Gras” dinner with my favorite Grand Aunt Lorna Laurel where she showed me her Nena Saguil collection! I am not too familiar with her work, but from what I saw that evening I was loving it!

I love this Nena Saguil!  It could work as a print in the future!

This weekend for me was all about art and culture!  It all began with the setting up of our Asian Cultural Council of the Philippines (ACCP) Art Auction!  This was the very first time that we putting something like this up so we were all very anxious and exctied!  The whole event was quite difficult to mount but all these challenges are really super worth it as the benefits are really immeasurable.

We had the auction at the Finale Art Gallery! I love this space!  I want to live there! LOL!
