KTM inspired artwork featured at the Art Fair PH 2018

Image
Artist Pete Jimenez and Dino Santos of KTM Philippines with the KTM inspired artpiece KTM Philippines presented the country’s motorcycle architectural landscape through various art pieces during the recent Art Fair Philippines 2018 at The Link, Ayala Center, Makati City. Maker of country’s high-performance and ready-to-race motorcycles, KTM stood as one of the prominent exhibitors during the four-day event. KTM commissioned celebrated sculptor Pete Jimenez, who “transforms a hard intractable material like iron into sculptural statements of wit and whimsy, mirth and merriment” and who has had over 16 solo exhibitions, to use KTM motorcycles as the inspiration for his pieces. Jimenez is among the few Filipino sculptors who have consistently explored the use of scrap iron as a medium. The KTM inspired collaboration resulted in an iconic orange frame of KTM bikes, pounded to form a heart, with motorcycle parts encased within, which the artist dubbed as “Racing Heart”. The strikin

March is the celebration of International Women's Month and lots of women empowerment activities and talks are dedicated to all amazing women. Last March 24, 2018, I have attended WE S3: Designing a Life you Love After Surviving from Crises . The event was held at Arkipelago located at Bagtikan Street, San Antonio, Makati City and organized by Ms. Ma. Joy Felizardo of Gastronomy by Joy.  I'm so happy to be part of this event because I've learned a lot and inspired to the experiences and stories of the speakers. Special guest speaker is Ms. Annette Ablan, a Consul who came from a wealthy and political clan in the Philippines. Her struggle in life like having a traumatic childhood, being neglect and spoiled brat during her teenage years and having a failed marriage is not a hindrance to quit in life. She's very inspiring because those trials served as her weapon to strive more, not to give up easily and be strong independent woman. One of remarkable words fro

How to teach children about fire safety

Image
People take every precaution necessary to ensure that their households are protected from every possible danger, most especially a fire. But how do parents teach children at an early age the importance of fire safety? Top LPG provider Solane offers these tips on how to teach kids fire safety. Flammable materials are not toys. A good way to keep children from accidentally starting a fire is not to let them play with objects that may cause a spark. Make sure all lighters and matches are out of their reach. More importantly, make them understand that even if these items are within reach, they are not toys and they should not play with them. Have your own fire drills and prepare emergency plans. Make sure your kids know where the fire exits, extinguishers and alarms are. Teach your children what to do when a fire breaks out.  Map a escape route, mark all possible exits for every room in the house and make sure the children have them memorized.
