Christmas is near! One more month till Christmas eve.
As a catholic, we cebrate advent. This is celebrated 4 weeks before the actual holiday.
To keep the celebration of waiting simple, these are DIY steps to make your very own advent wreath:
1. Avail of a branchy coil.
I got mine in the Landmark department store for like, 375Php. This will serve as the base for your wreath.
2. Find yourself branches.
These may be from old flowers or Christmas tree decorations. Sometimes the withered look of flowers make it look more classy. Just poke these in the branches. These cost nothing especially if you use the old things
3. Put a ribbon on it.
Ribbons will make the wreath look fuller and more colourful. You don't have to put this, its optional. You can just use scraps.
4. Candles.
Your advent wreath isn't complete without your candles. Purple - purple - pink - purple. These are what will build up and give meaning to your wreath.
Now that you have assembled your wreath, let us celebrate and keep this season meaningful with prayer.

Novuhair Supports Alopecia Areata Awareness in Celebrating Inner Strength
September marks the month-long commemoration of Alopecia Areata
awareness worldwide. Alopecia areata is a condition when hair loss occur due to
faults in the immune system attacking the hair follicles which results in
partial or total loss of hair on the head and other parts of the body.
Leading this year’s celebration in the country is Alopecia
Philippines, a group founded by singer and songwriter Abby Asistio in 2012. She
has been championing the cause of empowering citizens with this condition.
Abby is no stranger
to alopecia, having been diagnosed with alopecia areata since she was four
years old. Abby’s decision to come out in public with her condition was a major
turning point in her life.
On September
2012, Abby decided to start an online campaign in time with Alopecia Awareness
Month by inviting family and friends to pose with the double “A” (inverted “V”)
sign using their fingers on the photo sharing site, Instagram. It quickly
caught on and Abby was overwhelmed by the response from netizens, with over a
thousand photo contributions to date.
This paved
the way for the beginnings of Alopecia Philippines. It aims to raise awareness
about alopecia and correct common misconceptions and perceptions about it,
provide encouragement to people afflicted with it, and create an online support
community for them.
Inspired by
Abby’s honesty and courage, men and women, kids and teens from different walks
of life began sharing their own stories and struggles living with alopecia.
What started out as a group of ten is now more than 300 members strong and its
Facebook page – Alopecia Areata Awareness, draws followers from all over the
world.
Novuhair has
been supporting the cause for Alopecia Philippines through Abby Asistio. Abby
have been using the brand continuously since March 2013 and she has only

TOP 20 PICKS AT "A CENTURY OF PHILIPPINE ART" EXHIBIT + SPECIAL FEATURE OF CHRISTIAN REGIS by Xandra
PICTURES POSTED
September 27, 2016
I went to "A Century of Philippine Art" exhibit last week at the top floor of the Century City mall. The works in the exhibit were works of a hundred years. All the works were made within the past century. There were works of rising Filipino Artists to the Fernando Amorsolo. There were all kinds of artworks.
As far as I know, this exhibit was in the care of Galeria de las Islas which is curated by Christian Regis, a Filipino artist
I was able to take pictures of my top 20 favorite artwoks from the gallery. I chose these 20 because they caught my eye and some have a more interesting inner meaning to it.
~~~
1. KAHIT NA...MASARAP by Karen Nabong
I loved how the artist incorporated objects into the art. It was lovely how it was cocnceptualized with all the food items together in the persona's belly
2. CLEAR PATH #1 #2 #3 #4 by Ronna Lara-bes
3. SAYAW SA APOY by Anjie Jimenez
This artwork caught my eyes simply because of its color. It used very warm tones, I love also, how there's contrast with a turquoise shade of blue in the midst of all the purple. That stood out.
4. CORDILLERA HOTEL, VIGAN by Loreto Racuya
This work reminded me of when I first learned how to use perspective in art. The first thing I drew with this newly-learned concept was a room, and this photo, reminded me of that.
5. TRANSCIENCE by Vaughn Lumibao
6. ACCISMUS by Vaughn Lumibao
7. PANATA by Patrick Macaso
8. YOU'RE HURT by Vaughn Lumibao
9. PRESIDENT ELPIDIO RIVERA QUIRINO by Fernando Amorsolo
President Quirino was actually the president when my lolo was in the senate. He is also the great lolo of one of my good friends so this guy, he stands out to me.
10. CHOCKING GAMES by Vaughn Lumibao
11. PIETA by Francisco Riccardo Monti
My family loves the Pieta statue. We have a replica in my family's ancestral home and even at our family mausoleum. Its a bautiful image of the Mother Mary,carrying her beloved son, Jesus, in her arms.
12. THE CHASE By Vaughn Lumibao
I learned in the exhibit that
13. BLOOMING IN METANOIA by Aya Abesamis
14. DIVINE RADIANCE by Aya Abesamis
15. ALANGANIN NG NAG IISANG ANING by Franklyn Epil
16. EXPOSURE SERIES A by Ritche Yee
17. PERLAS NG WALANG NINGNING by Franklyn Epil
18. FORGIVENESS I & II (BULAG,PIPI,BINGI) by Jun Tivi
~~~
SPECIAL FEATURE:
19 & 20. MANILA YACHT CLUB and FACETS OF MANILA by Christian Regis
~~~
As an artist myself, I enjoyed viewing the gallery. There were so many beautiful sights to see from abstract arts, to portraits, to sculptures. I would really give a round of applause to Century City for creating such a beautiful exhibit and event.
