Ibabaw Cubao

The culprits: Dan, Dang and Yelle. The happy victim: Bern. With Paulo in absentia, we kidnapped Bern from her animation workshop (pero sakay kami sa kotse niyang siya ang nagda-drive), and headed for the Marikina Shoe Expo to check out the garage sale at Blacksoup Interactive. Dinner at Bellini's (tama si Dan, quatro fromage rocks) where we got entertained by a magician/social science teacher. We checked out the exhibit at Future Concepts (tama nga ba?) where we chanced upon a Roberto Chabet (Father of Philippine Conceptual Art) sighting. Whenever I see him at an exhibit, he's always seated on a chair, his cane resting on the side, with disciples seated on the floor around him. I wonder what they talk about. Feeling ko no matter how much I study theory, I will never understand their art. Pero mababaw lang ako, and just viewing and speculating about their pieces does quite a bit for me. Pang mass culture ang aesthetic sensibilities ko, hehehe. Sorry, Adorno.
