I am posting today our supposedly artist study of the week. I am sharing it with you even though we haven't really done it. At the last minute, we were called to more urgent demands and chores which undeniably include shopping and lunch with girlfriends - and our artist study has to be set aside for awhile, for the sake of spending a more meaningful time with friends before we leave them behind... so, together with the girls in the family, Vibrant Bea and Lil Ruffin, we headed off to Rivinthi, Thrinithi and Barefoot for some shalwar and skirts with my best shopping buddies, Sherri and Maggie.
Artist Study: Felix Resurreccion Hidalgo
One of the greatest Filipino painters that ever lived. Not as celebrated as Juan Luna, Rizal or the more recent artists but nonetheless, highly gifted and multi-awarded in the international scene.

So there, I hope the links are helpful.
We are trying to catch up on everything these days. We feel like we have finally reached the peak of a hill after a slow trudge up and our ball starts to roll down the slope. It gets bigger and heavier by the second, accelerating at an uncontrollable speed. Such is our life these days. We are filling up our calendar with so many things and yet the pages fly by too quickly. Soon, we will be moving again. Earlier, I was adamant not to think about our transfer or worry too much about it but now with a month left to enjoy this place, this beautiful country, it seems that we running out of time. I sure hope to bask in its luxury.
