Vaudeville, Electronic, Chance, Minimalist - The Music Styles of Filipinos

San Carlos Seminary Music Performance - Awit Bahandi at SM Mall, Cebu

As far as many Filipinos know, their are different styles of music. These different styles of music will help us to appreciate more on music. This is also another way so that we can understand and be touched by the wonders of music. Sometimes when Filipinos listen to such music, they could cry , laugh, and imagination arise which will enhance our well-being. As typical Filipinos, we really love music and we can't deny it even if we can't really understand some styles we still love it because that particular music has its own style and passion.

Musical styles today are very creative and well organized because of the help of the technology lately. Here are some styles  during the 20th and 21st centuries. 

Importance of Regular Health Examination

Health Examination importance

A regular health examination is important because it is used to evaluate the health status, screen for risk factors and diseases, and provide preventive counseling interventions in an age-appropriate manner. 

The goals of or rather the goal of screening and evaluation is to prevent the onset of disease or the worsening of an existing disease.

A further goal of the periodic health examination is to educate patients about behavioral patterns or environmental exposures that pose risk for future diseases.

 It is the process of determining or diagnosing a person’s health status and detecting the presence of physical defects or impaired health.

 

When Traditional Arts Faces Threat on its Rules - Dawn of Modern Arts

Botong Francisco Artwork - Philippines Arts

There was a tension between the traditional and modern artists that led the traditional artists to walk out. 

I think that the reason why there was a tension between is that the traditional artists wants to retain the culture of a certain country through arts but the modern artists want something new, something different that would make a record in the world. 

The traditional artists walked out because of the modern artists. 

We all know that the thinking of the people changes all the time and the traditional artists were only a few. 

MODERN ART IN THE PHILIPPINES

National Park Artist's concept of National Hero

 Arts is something amazing to enjoy our lives and express our feelings through this.

Many artists nowadays are painting or expressing it in a unique manner; they already exaggerated their feelings through arts.

For me the reason why the traditional and modern artist have a tension to each other because their opinion in arts collides.

Nativity Story Arts from home

Their ideas won’t work together; they have their own instinct in the near future of drawing.

Modernism was characterized by abstraction ad experimentation with new techniques and materials.

So by the modernize techniques and materials the modernism arts spread all over our country because we want more modernize arts and we love to see creative things in art that we believe that we can't see but it is true in our eyes.

Modern Filipino artists are spreading right now.

Artistic expression through Christmas decoration

They made extraordinary wonders about arts.

They use different shades of colors, abstract and artistic things that could make an art through it.

Some of them use oil canvas, blue gray abstraction and textile.

The only thing that I can say to them is they do their good job and hoping they would improve more and will improve our country through arts.

Spectacular Rock Formations, Mangroves, Coconuts - Typical Coastal Area of Philippines

Storm Coming - The Poem (along our Coastal Area of Moalboal)

The storm is coming

We must find shelter

We must not let this storm

Caught us in turn

First, it is so calm

But the clouds getting darker

The water is so clear

The water is so calm

Moalboal Earthquake 6.9 magnitude 2/6/12 - Southwest Cebu

We all know that our area in Southwest Cebu cannot have those tsunamis like in Japan but things were different that day. Tsunamis cannot be produced because our islands in our area are too close enough. Tsunamis will only be in large body of water. But again because of people rushing around you, you cannot stop thinking, what's going on?

This is my story submitted to this site. Thanks to the owner of this site.

It was about lunch when the floor of our house shook for about 25 to 30 seconds. We moved outside and we saw everyone around us panicked.

We prepared the car and went to higher grounds.

We saw many neighbors packed up and preparing for departure to higher grounds.

Another family in the higher ground

People with bags of rice

Ready for the hardships

Children are so panicky

Packed up and still confused

Philippines - Most amazing place of the planet

National Park in the Philippines, Luneta Park

Doing what we really like is a good thing and one good thing is treating yourself for a very nice relaxation. There are many things to relax and one of the wonderful things to cool yourself is to go to visit nice places like amusement parks, beaches, nature views, etc.

Now let us tackle nature's beauty, the beach. Beach is one of the typical place to collect and reflect yourself.

I found a good idea to have a satisfying beach vacation. We have many beaches here in the country but the questions are what, where, when, how? Beaches in our country are good, no doubt about that but what about our pockets?

Travel around Philippine Islands, Bohol and Moalboal

The beach in Bohol Island

If we are asked why people like to travel, I think people travel to the other places to have relaxation and meet new friends.

But then what is travel?The first thing comes in our mind is to go from one place to another. And also traveling is common way to relax of the people these days. 

For example you want to go Manila, Philippines in which you want to see many wonderful places to visit and taking the picture is a must for posting in Facebook, Twitter, etc.

Traveling also feels us the enjoyable feelings but there is also sadness because other people who prefer to travel alone in which they cannot afford the ticket or lack of budget.

When I was a child, I wish to travel all around of the Philippines because I want to see the world wonderfully; I want to see anything that I’ve never seen before.

The first came to my mind was I like to travel to Bohol even though it was hot there and sunny season.

Family Trip to Butuan City - My Experience

Capturing the bird's eye view of Butuan City

Indeed, adventure is life’s best experience. My first travel adventure around the islands of Philippines was in Agusan Del Norte and Surat Mindanao. We enjoy a trip with our family since Filipino culture and tradition is always a close familitized type. We have to get ride to the southern part of the country called Mindanao. To get to the place, you need to ride with a ship. It took us twelve hours to get to the destination. We reached to the place called Butuan City. We are a religious family so we went to the church near to the terminal in that area to thank God for our safe journey at sea. Later, we rode another transportation going to the place we were going to stay and I was surprised because I saw few houses. I had been thinking that photo my friend showed about another place in the Philippines.

The Teaching Of The John 3:16 Gospel

The Church at a distant

It was Sunday about seven in the morning when I woke up then I got ready to go to Church. I planned to go with my Father with the speakers and instruments in the car but because I had to take my coffee break, I left with my bike.

Dad went ahead to the church, I was a bit late when I arrived when the Gospel of John was read by our parish priest. The reading was about Jesus talking with one of the teachers of the law, Nicodemus.

The impact of the reading to me was great that I made this hub for the world to see.

So what is the content of John 3:16. This is the Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 16. It says that for God so loved the world that he gave us His only begotten son…

And those so whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

For us to be safe we should prepare our self before riding or before getting on the bike, make sure you have the necessary safety equipment. Keep yourself balanced. Riding downhill is quite different from ordinary bike riding.
