Feng Shui Love Forecast for 2015 by Master Hanz Cua

Tweet

Love makes the world go round, and for people looking for it, or even couples who experience challenges in their relationship, Feng Shui has tips, cures and enhancers that can help you to attain your heart’s desires.

According to Master Hanz Cua, Psychic and Feng Shui Master, the Northwest sector, in 2015 Flying Stars forecast, is the sector of romance. This is good news for singles, but married males should take heed. NE is the sector of the Father, there is strong inclination to stray into third party involvement. Politicians and other famous patriarch figures should beware of sex scandals in 2015.

For singles seeking love, you can energize NE sector of your home to increase your chances of romance success by: 

Introduce enhancers like bright lights, Mandarin duck pair (one male and one female), Rose Quartz crystal, colors like pink, red, ivory and brown, a pair of romantic scented candles, or an image of the 2 peony flowers (the no. 1 flower of romance in Chinese tradition). 

The element to activate for romance is Fire and Earth. Remove anything Metal (it exhausts Earth) and Water (it extinguishes Fire) 

Avoid having in your bedroom: art or images that show solitary people, plants that have thorns, mobiles or metal chimes, stuffed animals or any toys (toys are for children’s rooms—not adults who are looking for a relationship), any kind of clutter.

For Couples who want to improve their relationship: 

Amethyst crystal on the side table next to the couple’s bed promotes fidelity. Carnelian promotes passion. 

A large rock crystal or stone statue in the romance sector will “nail down” a flighty or unstable relationship. 

Place the image of the Double Happiness symbol above the bed’s headboard. This same symbol can also be embroidered on your bed cover and pillowcases.

For singles desperate to find love, Master Hanz suggests that you try:

For every Friday during January (3, 10) and February (7, 21, 28) Place 4 long-stem red roses in the Northwest sector of your home to activate the Love star.

Roberto S. Bonifacio’s “My World, My Emotions”

Tweet

Welcome to Roberto S. Bonifacio’s “My World, My Emotions”

By Cid Reyes

A first solo exhibition is always a momentous occasion for an artist. That is a truism as true as the statement that “the first time is always the most memorable.” A solo show is an artist’s formal bow to the art community. An artistic debut, it is an official entry into the exciting and competitive art scene, worthy to be listed in the historical registry of contemporary Philippine art. To be sure, an artist may have participated in several group shows, but such does not have the same impact on the public consciousness as a one-man exhibition, which signals a variety of messages: the artist’s commitment to his art, his readiness and courage to face criticism, and of course, to receive a deserved applause and acclamation. For once an artist’s works are hung for public viewing, he is literally on his own.

Young and eager, driven and determined, the 21 year-old Roberto S. Bonifacio is all set and raring to launch his initial solo show. The venue could not have been more apt: the Renaissance Art Gallery. A rebirth, albeit of the aesthetic kind, is exactly what Bonifacio has experienced with his discovery of a life’s passion. Despite a diagnosis of autism, or precisely, providentially, because of it, the artist in him has victoriously emerged, even as he had immersed himself since childhood in the wondrous world of art. With the full support of his parents and siblings, Bonifacio is now ready to take center stage.

The title which Bonifacio has bestowed on his show is heartfelt and personal: “My World, My Emotions.” A prolific artist, whose enthusiasm for artmaking seems unbounded, he is displaying over fifty works that are the rich evocations of his visions and emotions. A combined spirit of playfulness and seriousness brought these works into fruition, engaging him to share with his audience the innermost recesses of his mind.

The harvest of works is impressive, ranging across themes and formats as varied as portraits, still lifes, landscapes, flowers, nudes, animals, religious subjects, Madonna and Child, surrealist fantasy, Pinoy Pop narratives and Pop Americana, and more predominantly, famous landmark sights in the U.S., Asia, and Europe.

Ultimately, what is touching and felicitous about these works is the overflow of memories that impelled them to come to artistic life. They are visual reveries on canvas, and whether the subjects of the portraits are still among the living or the departed, Bonifacio has rendered to them a worthy homage. “My Beloved Mother” is a sweet valentine replete with hearts, flowers and gifts. A smiling “Portrait of my Father” conveys at once amiability and inner strength. Other portraits of grandparents, friends, teachers, and relatives brim with joy, with no diminution of affection, as Bonifacio has interiorized his feelings for his subjects. 

Certain to leave a smile on the audience are his portraits of two beloved religious leaders, Pope Francis and Luis Cardinal Tagle, themselves aglow with their own robust smiles. With their images captured on canvas, they seem to reside in emotional areas of the senses, other than the eyes.

Bonifacio’s still lifes are gustatory delights (cupcakes, pies, pizza and pasta, pastries, fruits and wine, tea and coffee) or common objects (stuffed toys, barbells, running shoes). The artist deploys multiple figures within the strict confines of the canvas, in works such as “Seven Guardian Fairies” perched on the branches of a tree, “Band of Brothers”, “Four Prettiest Ladies from Kalayaan”, “Anime Magical Girls”, “Four Boys Crossing the Zigzag”, which brings to mind the Beatles, barefooted, crossing Abbey Road, and “Three Nude Girls at the Waterfalls During Winter Dusk.” Bonifacio revels in repetition, in serial imagery that intensifies the human presence.

Pop Americana, surely an imprint of the artist’s many travels to the U.S., is another abiding memory, both as holiday and personal history, and shows Bonifacio’s grasp of the American social scene, as depicted in “Cowboy and nagtive American” and “Wahine at San Juan Beach.” On the other hand, Pinoy Pop (or what some derisively label as “baduy”) is markedly visible in “Videoke Queen”, displaying a heavily tattoo’d arm while lustily singing, most likely, Abba’s “Dancing Queen.” Irreverent as it may be, some quarters regard the twin images of the Jesus and Mama Mary, etched on ceramic tiles and plastered often on high-end residential gates, as Pinoy Pop. Such did not escape Bonifacio’s astute, observant eyes. A single surreal touch is gleaned in “Look Out Below! Be Safe from the Giantess”, as a roped mountaineer finds himself descending not from the boulders of the Grand Canyon, but from a humongous profiled nose.

The greater number of works, however, are famous touristic landmarks, for which it is deemed wisely to remember the remark: “A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it” (George A. Moore). In his own country, Bonifacio had once set forth on a journey to the Ilocos, and from that experience, produced a cache of works that depicted Vigan’s century old houses and cobble-stoned streets, the deep-purpled dragon fruit, the earthen pottery, and the Ilocano’s version of empanada. From travels abroad, he created a veritable visual diary: New York and the Statue of Liberty, Paris and the Eiffel Tower, Pisa and the Leaning Tower, Bangkok’s Buddhist temples swathed in gold, Cambodia and its ancient Angkor Wat, Moscow and its onion-domed cathedrals and Russian dolls. Corollary to the theme of travel is a fetching self-portrait of Bonifacio, viewed from the back of a bench where the artist is seated, a luggage by his feet. The title is obvious enough: “Eager to Go Home.”

Thence did Roberto S. Bonifacio pack up and go home, assured with a wealth of memories, stuffed in his heart and mind. He knew even then that he was in possession of precious images which would constitute his authentic world and his shared emotions, which he was determined to render with fidelity on the many canvases that awaited him, indeed for that fast approaching first solo exhibition.

SM City Baguio to install Rainwater Catchment Tanks

Tweet

Rain is a blessing of nature. Rainwater - good water with unlimited uses. 

There are many ways to save water — conservation, passive rainwater catchment, onsite recycling (i.e., greywater) and active rainwater catchment. All of these methods require that you actively manage your water use, as opposed to just paying your bill each month and not thinking about how much water you use.

We use rainwater for a variety of purposes including drinking, washing and irrigation. But, rainwater can be highly polluted and not suitable for use. Still, it is one of our purest sources for water and with the right treatment, it has many uses. When rain falls onto a polluted roadway or roof it becomes contaminated with everything it touches. But before it hits the ground, rainwater is relatively pure. Compared to well water (i.e., groundwater), which is typically very high in minerals, rainwater is cleaner and easier to purify. And unlike the water in lakes and streams (i.e., surface water), rainwater contains no pharmaceuticals, minerals or pollutants.

The Philippines is regularly in the firing line for powerful typhoons.Torrential rains brought the Philippine to a standstill, submerging some areas in waist-deep floodwaters.

Despite its elevated location, Baguio City is susceptible to floods. In 2012, tropical storm Helen left the city submerged, and in 2013, typhoon Labuyo mirrored the devastation brought by its predecessor. More recent atmospheric aberrations tell us that more will come.

Because of its cool climate, Baguio City was designated by the Philippine Commission as the "Summer Capital" of the Philippines. Baguio City, the coolest but also the wettest city, occupies about 57 SQM of hilly land surface in the southwestern portion of the Cordillera region with an average of around 700mm (28in) of rainfall or precipitation during the months of July and August. The wettest and coolest month is August (as with the rest of Luzon)

One of the ways floodwater can be reduced is through the use of rainwater catchment tanks. Apart from lessening the enormous amount of water that can flood households and businesses, there are many uses for stored water, such as irrigation, watering of plants, and other non-potable uses.

SM Malls came up with the idea to convert rain water to something useful through the use of rainwater catchment tanks. SM in Baguio City plans to build a rainwater catchment tank to capture rainwater. After being treated by a sewage treatment plant, the rainwater will be reused by the mall in its operation, instead of sourcing its requirements from the local water district.

This process is already being used with success in SM Masinag in Antipolo and SM BF in Parañaque.

SM details of their new design for the mall redevelopment but hinted the same Green Building Council approved design with energy-efficient lighting and water conservation components will still be utilized. This includes a rain catchment basin to help save run-off water and prevent soil erosion.

SM Baguio Sky Park Project: The development plans of SM Baguio, in the context of long-term or sustainable intervention to years of environmental degradation.

Rainwater is one of the advantageous methods of using natural water in a sustainable manner.

Rainwater harvesting system offers sufficient amount of water and energy savings through lower consumption. Moreover, considering the cost for installation and maintenance expenses, the system is effective and economical. Rainwater harvesting is the most traditional and sustainable method, which could be easily used for potable and nonpotable purposes both in residential and commercial buildings. 

Rainwater harvesting could be the most sustainable solution to be included in the urban water management system. It could mitigate the water crisis problem, reduce the burden on traditional water sources, alleviate nonpoint source pollutant loads, control water logging problems, prevent flooding, help in controlling climate change impacts, contribute to the storm water management

Capturing rain where it falls or capturing the run off in your own village or town and taking measures to keep that water clean by not allowing polluting activities to take place in the catchment.

Rainwater harvesting suitable for work as well as at home, in schools, hospitals, offices, commercial premises, rainwater can typically be used for toilets, vehicle washing, yard washdown and watering plant pots/gardens.

In general, water harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater. The rainwater collected can be stored for direct use or can be recharged into the groundwater. Rain is the first form of water that we know in the hydrological cycle, hence is a primary source of water for us. Rivers, lakes and groundwater are all secondary sources of water.

In present times, we depend entirely on such secondary sources of water. In the process, it is forgotten that rain is the ultimate source that feeds all these secondary sources and remain ignorant of its value. Water harvesting means to understand the value of rain, and to make optimum use of the rainwater at the place where it falls.

Xian Lim voices Paddington in PH release

Tweet

Filipino-Chinese-American actor Xian Lim is the featured voice of Paddington Bear in the movie scheduled for release in the Philippines this February.

Actor Xian Lim was handpicked by the producers of “Paddington” to voice the eponymous character after he auditioned for the role by sending voice tapes to Studio Canal in London.

The producers said that the Filipino-Chinese actor’s voice resembled the original voice of Paddington by Ben Whishaw.

“Paddington” the film adaptation is produced by the team of the Harry Potter series. Producer David Heyman approved the choice of Lim to voice Paddington in the Philippine version of the movie. Ben Whihshaw is Paddington in the United States and other international releases.

It is Xian’s first time to do voice acting for an animation film and shares his excitement on his lending his voice to the iconic bear of the United Kingdom.

“It excites me, this is a new venture and because it’s not easy to land in this kind of project.”

Xiam also expressed his amazement at being part of a series that he used to watch as a child.

PADDINGTON brings together an all-star cast, with Hugh Bonneville  and Sally Hawkins  as Mr. & Mrs. Brown, Nicole Kidman  as the evil taxidermist, Julie Walters  as Mrs. Bird the housekeeper, Jim Broadbent  as Mr. Gruber the owner of the antiques shop and Peter Capaldi as the Browns' neighbour, Mr. Curry.

The film is directed by Paul King and produced by David Heyman.

The story plot has the talking bear travelling from the jungles of Peru to the city of London searching for a home and meets the Brown family at Paddington train station. His bear name sounded too complicated and his foster family gives him the name of the station as his new name.

Paddington has grown up deep in the Peruvian jungle with his Aunt Lucy who, inspired by a chance encounter with an English explorer, has raised her nephew to dream of an exciting life in London. When an earthquake destroys their home, Aunt Lucy decides to smuggle her young nephew on board a boat bound for England, in search of a better life. Arriving alone at Paddington Station, Paddington soon finds that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kindly Brown family, who find him with a label tied around his neck which reads ‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’ They offer him a temporary home whilst he searches for the explorer who impressed Aunt Lucy all those years before.

But when Paddington catches the eye of a sinister, seductive taxidermist, it isn’t long before his home – and very existence – is under threat.

Anthony Bourdain: PARTS UNKNOWN

Anthony Bourdain is back for more culinary adventures in ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN. This season, the well-known chef-gourmand sets out to explore lesser known places of Punjab, Thailand, Russia, Brazil, Lyon, Mexico, Mississippi and Las Vegas; areas that hold unique people, food and culture.

In each episode, Anthony taps locals and friends, including world-renowned chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud, famed nouvelle cuisine chef Paul Bocuse, magician Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller, and revered poet and award-winning peace activist Javier Sicilia.

Chef, best-selling author and travelling gourmand Anthony Bourdain returns in an all-new season of the Emmy award-winning series ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN. Anthony travels to the lesser-known areas of beautiful Punjab, Thailand, Russia, Brazil, Lyon, Mexico, Mississippi and Las Vegas, steering off classic tourist tracks and traps, to expose and celebrate the people, unique culture, food, history and stories that make each place truly special. ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN premieres every Tuesday at 10 p.m. starting February 10, exclusively on TLC (available nationwide in the Philippines on every major cable, DTH and local provincial operator). 

An eight-part series, each episode spotlights intriguing places, tastes, sights and sounds waiting to be explored. For insider tips and the best experiences, Anthony taps into the locals as well as a few friends and influential figures including world-renowned chef and restaurateur Daniel Boulud, famed nouvelle cuisine chef Paul Bocuse, magician Penn Jillette of Penn and Teller, and revered poet and award-winning peace activist Javier Sicilia. 

In Thailand, Anthony explores Chiang Mai with award-winning chef and author Andy Ricker of Pok Pok restaurant fame. Anthony likens his experience in Northern Thailand to discovering a colour he never knew existed. “The food here is not pad thai or green curry chicken. There are complex layers of flavour, sophisticated balances, spicy, sour, a little bitter, salty, herby. Colour and texture are important. Crispy, soft, cold, hot. It's exactly this interplay between elements that makes Northern Thai food so thrilling and so addictive,” he says. 

Anthony’s journey of Punjab begins in Amritsar, where, in his words, much of the good stuff we refer to simply as Indian food comes from. He visits Guru ka Langar – a free vegetarian community kitchen, where the simple philosophy is two-fold: to provide training to the Sikhs in voluntary service, and to eradicate social classifications – all human beings regardless of caste, colour, religion or nationality may sit and eat a delicious meal here. 

Over in Lyon, France, Anthony travels with legendary chef Daniel Boulud. Inside the cathedral of nouvelle cuisine that is globally celebrated chef Paul Bocuse’s three-Michelin star L’Auberge du Pont de Collonges, Anthony and Daniel are treated to a meal of a lifetime – a greatest hits feast looking at Paul’s legendary career. The trip ends with a visit to Daniel’s family farm, where they all get together and prepare some rustic country dishes from the private Boulud cookbook. 

Rediscover these and other popular tourist destinations through Anthony’s unique experiences, presented in his inimitable style. ANTHONY BOURDAIN: PARTS UNKNOWN encores every Wednesday at 4:00 p.m., Thursday at 10:00 a.m. and Saturday at 9:00 p.m.

Anthony accompanies legendary chef Daniel Boulud on a trip back to Daniel’s hometown of Lyon, France, for a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage of the city’s rich food culture and legendary chefs. In addition to the intense culinary journey Anthony and Daniel take, the episode also examines the history of French gastronomy and Lyon’s intimate ties to the field’s top players. One in particular is Paul Bocuse – Lyon (and France’s) kingpin, near-mythical innovator of nouvelle cuisine who still reigns over the city.

Episode 4: Mexico

Mexico is a nation full of fighters; a tradition that’s evolved from the Aztec and Mayan warriors to the revolutionaries who threw off the yoke of Spanish imperialism. Today, determination and a fierce independent spirit continue to define the country. Anthony travels to Oaxaca and Cuernavaca to meet the people who fight for the food, art and lives they believe in; among them is boxer Jorge Lacierva. Anthony joins Jorge at a cheap fonda, the place where boxers typically eat since they’re constantly strapped for cash. There’s no menu. You get what’s being cooked that day; chicken, pasta, chili, etc. But for 65 pesos – or USD$4 – no one’s complaining.

Episode 5: Brazil

Salvador is often considered Brazil’s “capital of happiness” due to the ever-present parades. Anthony joins some artists and locals for a street festival. Then, he discusses over lunch with some locals about what the sea means to them. Over a fusion Bahian lunch, Anthony chats with two Capoeira Mestres who were some of the first to break the gender barrier in a male-dominated sport.

Episode 6: Mississippi

Anthony seeks to challenge his notions of Mississippi by taking a road trip to meet a wide cast of Mississippians, enjoying the diverse food ways, and embracing the traditional and contemporary music worlds – from gospel to blues and hip hop in underground clubs and juke joints. In the Midtown section of Jackson, Anthony meets with Mississippi-native, independent hip hop artist, mentor and entrepreneur PyInfamous. They discuss the current state of race and class relations, and the impact he’s trying to have with his brand of uplifting hip hop.

Episode 7: Russia

The story of modern-day Russia cannot be told without visiting both of its most important cities, Moscow and St. Petersburg, and there’s no better way to get to St. Petersburg than taking the night train, riding the rails in the lap of luxury in the Grand Imperial car. Anthony and his friend Zamir Gotta have their own private bar.

Episode 8: Thailand

The serene beauty of northern Thailand’s rice paddies was one of the first things that made Anthony fall in love with Asia years ago. Anthony and award-winning chef and author Andy Ricker of Pok Pok restaurant fame head to Chiang Mai, home to some of the country’s most amazing eats. The fun really begins when the guys hop onto a tuk tuk for an eating and drinking tour of the city. Andy introduces Anthony to Lao Khao, a fermented Thai rice whiskey that apparently tastes better and smoother the more you drink, or does it?

Chef and Kitchen Confidential author Anthony Bourdain is best known for travelling the globe following his stomach, daringly consuming some of the world’s most exotic dishes on his hit Emmy award-winning TLC series ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS. Once known as the bad boy of cooking, Anthony is settling into an only slightly more dignified position as a professional gadfly, bête noire, advocate and social critic. He is as unsparing of those things he hates as he is evangelical about his passions.

Anthony was previously the executive chef at NYC’s famed bistro Les Halles. He is the author of the best-selling Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly, a candid, hysterical and sometimes shocking portrait of life in restaurant kitchens that has been translated into 28 languages. His book, A Cook’s Tour, published in conjunction with his television series, was also a best seller.

His latest New York Times best seller, Medium Raw: A Bloody Valentine to the World of Food and the People Who Cook, is an insider's perspective on the changes in the restaurant business, from Anthony's bad old days to the present. His other books include Anthony Bourdain’s Les Halles Cookbook, The Nasty Bits, the crime novels Bone in the Throat and The Bobby Gold Stories, and No Reservations: Around the World on an Empty Stomach, an illustrated journal of his travels and companion to his television series.

Anthony studied at Vassar College and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. He resides in Manhattan with his wife, Ottavia, and his daughter, Ariane.
