INSPIRE: A Michael Cacnio x LEGO Collaboration

In celebration of Michael Cacnio's 20 years in brass sculpting, Cacnio does an unusual but fun collaboration with global giant LEGO for an exhibit aptly called INSPIRE.


Think combination of brass sculptures with colored LEGO bricks, this collaboration truly challenges and defies preconceived notion about traditional brass sculpting.With its theme, INSPIRE truly promotes the importance of imagination as it goes out of the box and pushes the artist's playfulness and creativity in its unlikely combination of freeform monochromatic brass and polygonal yet colorful plastic.

Over the years Cacnio's earned accolades from various organizations with his depiction of social realities in his works. Some of his known achievements include being part of the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) in 2006 and the distinction of being the first Filipino artist to have had his work showcased at the Headquarters of the European Commission in Brussels.

INSPIRE will be featured at THE GALLERY of Greenbelt 5 on Friday, September 16, 2011.

Magnolia's ROBOT TVC

When I saw this TVC over the weekend, it made me realize how we as mothers tend to talk harshly, without really thinking, and normally it's simply due to our emotions at that particular point in time. It reminded me of how I would sometimes raise my voice and say "No!"," That's bad!" or "Stop that!" to my 20-month old son...oh yes, as if he could actually understand why...After that, he would just smile, hug and kiss me as if nothing really happened...Haaay...kaka-guilty! I promise, from now on I will really try to be more patient with you, my super kulit Baby Boo!!!

Great Job Magnolia, it's now quite rare that we get to see commercials that touches us the way this one did.

Limited Edition UAAP Hand Sanitizers

Last July 2011, Watson's, the country's leading health & beauty store, partnered with ABS-CBN Licensing to sell Limited Edition University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) Hand Sanitizers with Holders at Watson's outlets in Metro Manila and Luzon. This may have stemmed out from the Bath and Body Works' Pocketbac craze which hit the country since 2010.


The UAAP Sanitizer holders are available in eight colors, representing each UAAP member teams --Blue Eagles, Green Archers, Fighting Maroons, Growling Tigers, Tamaraw, Red Warriors, Bulldogs and Soaring Falcons.


It was also nice to know that aside from promoting your love for your Alma Mater with each purchase, a portion of what you paid will go to UAAP's fund for its athlete scholars.




I was only able to see these sanitizers over the long weekend at a Watson's counter in the SM Supermarket near our place. If I remember correctly, it is being sold for Php 69.00.

 Here's a closer look at the BLUE EAGLES sanitizer I got.

The size was actually very comparable to the Pocketbac and the scent (well at least for the Blue Eagle's one) was fairly decent.
