manilagayguy1

We asked a number of our favorite bloggers what they considered their blogging achievements for 2008, and this is what they said:

Manila Gay Guy [www.manilagayguy.net]
For me it’s not about page views, PageRanks, or ad revenues–my blog reached new heights on those too, this year, but I wouldn’t say those are my major blogging achievements in 2008.

There are two that I consider major achievements for my blogging this year: first, I was able to meet more fellow bloggers, and I continue to cherish their friendship (hello, Fabcasters!); and second, through my blog I learned more about myself, my limits, and how I react to what I call “venomous vituperations.” In November, I decided to close my blog mostly due to fatigue. After some “cocooning” and listening to friends and dear loyal readers, December saw me re-opening it under its new domain and format, signaling rebirth and renewal, Manilagayguy.net.

tea-party-anthony-ferminDining establishments are now serving more than food on the menu. Now you can take away not just your favorite dish, but you can also bring home a painting you like, all wrapped up to go. Art exhibits, once limited to galleries, are finding new homes in restaurants like Le Souffle, Green Halo Cafe, and Bacolod-based Hong Kong Kitchen.

The Hong Kong Kitchen’s 40-person function room offers not just the usual multiple-course Chinese meal but Negros-based visual artist Anthony Fermin’s collection of paintings of memorable places he has visited, like an Iloilo treehouse and the Bacolod Plaza Cathedral where he regularly buys flowers for his shop. To stay consistent with the restaurant’s Oriental theme, Fermin, who confessed to being partial to Chinese food, also included subjects such as dragon dance and tea party scenes in his line-up.

Green Halo Cafe, which offers a vegan menu at Cubao X, has also sponsored a number of art exhibits. Prior to Daniel “Palma” Tayona’s pen-and-ink collection that opened on December 20, Green Halo featured “Labyrinth of Blooms” by Katrina Pallon. The debut exhibit included photographs and paintings by the artist, in whose works we see the influences of French art nouveau, Asian textile prints and patterns, and Venetian masks come into play.

Truly, these restaurants are telling us that man does not live by bread alone. He also needs the finer aspects of life, art included.

dayo-sa-mundo-ng-elementalia

The first Pinoy digital full-length animated feature Dayo sa Mundo ng Elementalia won in four categories in the 2008 Metro Manila Film Festival. The Cutting Edge Productions feature was cited for Best Visual Effects (Robert Quilao), Best Sound (Whannie Dellosa and Mike Idioma), Best Musical Score (Jessie Lasaten), which was recorded with the FILharmoniKA conducted by Gerard Salonga, and Best Theme Song (“Lipad” by Jessie Lasaten and Temi Abad, Jr., performed by Lea Salonga with the FILharmonika).

“We are so thankful for these technical awards because they have validated our vision for Dayo.  These awards pay tribute to all the Filipino artists, specifically our animators who have worked on the film,” said executive producer Lasaten.
