Blog EntryGuhitPinoy UAE Na!!!Jul 7, '08 9:00 AM
by Michael for everyone
Sa isang meeting na ginanap noong Hunyo ng mga officers ng GuhitPinoy Dubai ay napagkasunduan na gawin nang GuhitPinoy UAE ang opisyal na pangalan ng samahang ito. Ito ay sa isang simpleng kadahilanang inaabangan po natin ang paglago ng grupo sa labas ng Dubai. Sa katunayan ay may mga miyembro na po tayong naka base sa Sharjah at isa nga po dito ay ang ating Treasurer na si Jeff Quinones. Samantala sa Abu Dhabi naman ay ang inyong lingkod na may halos dalawang taon na ring naninirahan dito.

GuhitPinoy UAE na!!! Opo at dito natin sisimulan sa pangalang ito ang pagtaguyod sa isa sa pinakamalaking Art Organization sa bansang ito ng UAE. Bagamat gaya ng prinsipyong nais ibahagi ng mga opisyales at core members ng grupong ito... hindi po sa bilang o dami ng miyembro ang basehan ng isang matagumpay at malaking organisasyon kung hindi... "sa mga proyekto at aktibidad na may kaugnayan sa sining at kung paano tayo magiging makabuluhang institusyon sa ating ginagalawang komunidad."

GuhitPinoy UAE na!!! Nais din po ng samahang ito na pag-isahin ang lahat ng mga artistang Pilipino dito sa bansang UAE, hindi lamang sa kanilang lokasyon... (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Fujairah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah at Umm Al Qwain) kundi pati na rin ng ibat-ibang organisasyong Pilipino. Ang GuhitPinoy UAE ay kaisahan ng mga miyembro ng ibat-ibang samahan na may kanya-kanyang linya ng sining. May pintor, iskultor, photographer, designer, modelo, writer, ilustrador atbp.

GuhitPinoy UAE na!!! Ito po ay patuloy na paanyaya sa lahat ng may pusong Pilipino at may pag-ibig sa sining, nagmamahal sa ating kultura at handang ipagmalaki ang pagka-Pilipino. Bukas ito sa lahat ng nais magbahagi ng kanilang talino at galing sa larangan ng sining biswal.

GuhitPinoy UAE na!! Tuloy-tuloy na ang mga aktibidad ng ating grupo kung kaya't lagi po kayong tumutok sa site na ito para sa mga darating pang kaganapan. Ang 1st GPUAE Sketching and Photography Session na ginanap noong nakaraang Biyernes sa Safa Park, Dubai ay isa lamang po sa marami pang nakalinyang proyekto natin. Kung kaya't inaanyayahan namin kayo na patuloy na makihalubilo at makibahagi.

Sa pagkakataong ito ay nais ko pong magpasalamat sa mga dumalo sa nakaraang aktibidad ng GPUAE noong Biyernes. Salamat din sa mga nagbahagi ng pagsasaluhang pagkain. At higit sa lahat maraming salamat sa aming dalawang magagandang binibining modelo na si Abba at Mitch. Sana ay hindi kayo magsawa na ibahagi ang inyong mga angking galing.

Hanggang sa muling pagtitipon mga kaGuhit.

Kumusta na mga KaGuhit!


Hanggang ngayon ay nakalutang pa rin sa alapaap ang mga taong nakakaalam at may kinalaman directly or indirectly sa panalo ni Japat Guevarra, isa sa mga officer natin dito sa GuhitPinoy, sa nakaraang Dubai Ladies' Club- Sheikha Manal's New Signature Young Artist Award 2008 - Fine Arts Category.


Tandang-tanda ko pa ang mga kuwentuhan namin noon tungkol sa puyat na dinaranas ni Japat bago ang deadline sa submission ng kanyang Obra. Sa aking pagkakaalam ay muntikan pa ngang hindi ito umabot. Makikita nyo rin sa kanilang Multiply site ang mga kuha ng kanyang maybahay na si Liza nang mga gabi o madaling araw na nakasubasob si Japat sa kanyang pagpipinta. Kasama ang kanilang anak na si Mac, isa sa mga nagbigay inspirasyon sa kanya.


Sa pagkakataong ito ay masasabi ko na hindi lang galing ang kailangan upang makagawa ng isang obra, kundi kailangan din ng tibay ng katawan at disiplina. Marami sa ating mga artists ang lunod at minsan ay nakakaramdam ng kakaibang "high" kapag tayo ay napupuyat, at parang isang medalya ang naisasabit sa atin ang bawat araw na sumisikat sa tuwing nalalampasan natin ang isang umaga.


Subalit hindi lang din pisikal na lakas ang kailangan natin upang mairaos mo ang anim na oras ng isang madaling araw. Ang mas nagbibigay ng tunay na lakas sa atin ay "ang mga inspirasyon natin sa buhay." Ang maramdaman mo lang na kaisa mo sa layuning iyong tinatahak ang iyong pamilya o mga mahal sa buhay, ang mga kaibigan... ay isang ganap na bukal ng walang patid na kalakasan.


Tagumpay... karangalan...? Bunga na lang ito nang sakripisyo, nang mga oras, pawis at dugo na iyong binuwis upang bigyang katuparan o suklian ang kalakasang ipinapahid ng mga kaluluwang tumutulak sa iyo upang marating ang tuktok ng isang matarik na paglalakbay.


Sa huli, ang dalawang bagay na ito ay parang "hopia" hindi puwedeng wala ang halok ng bawat isa. Sa isang kagat may monggo o baboy kang malalasahan. Ang bawat sakripisyo ay may kaakibat na tagumpay. Kundi man natin maramdaman agad, matuto tayong maghintay. Sabi nga sa site ni Liza, "count your blessings, not your troubles."


At isa nga ang kaganapang ito sa buhay ng ating KaGuhit na si Japat, patunay na ang pagsisikhay ay susuklian ng kabutihan at ng pagpapala.To quote a blockbuster movie's famous line..., Strength and Honor! Two tenets that should really inspire us to do our best in everything we do, and that goes especially to us, Filipino Expat Artists. "Strength for Self, Honor for Country."


Mabuhay ang Artistang Pilipino! Mabuhay ka Kabayan!

Congratulations GuhitPinoy Dubai!


Isang malaking karangalan para sa ating mga Pinoy Artists ang mapabilang sa mga exhibitor ng Global Village, Philippine Pavilion. Iilan pa lang tayo sa mga nabigyan ng pagkakataong makapagpakita ng ating mga dibuho at masterpieces with a global audience dito sa Dubai. Napakainit ng pagtanggap 'di lang ng ating mga kababayan pati na nang ibang mga lahi sa ating mga likhang sining. Masasabi nating nakalikha na tayo ng ugong at hindi nga kaila na may mga imbitasyon na tayo sa iba't-ibang industriya at establisimiyento dito sa UAE.


Dahil dito, itinuturing ngayon na ang exhibit ng GuhitPinoy Dubai ay isa sa mga matagumpay na Art Exhibit ng mga Filipino dito sa bansa, at ito ay nagsilbing sinag para sa iba't-iba pang organisasyon na magsagawa ng pareho ring adhikain. IKAW kaGuhit ay isang inspirasyon sa mga katulad mong artist para magkaroon ng lakas ng loob upang ibahagi at ipakita ang galing ng tunay na Pilipino.


Marami ang napangyari at natutunan ang bawat isa sa atin sa kaganapang ito. Nandoon na natalisod tayo sa mga problemang dumating, na-excite sa mga activities na gagawin, nagulat sa mga di inaasahang pangyayari sa buhay ng ating mga kasama. Subalit sabi nga ni Oscar Wilde... "Life imitates art far more than art imitates Life."


Kung kaya para sa akin ang istorya ng GuhitPinoy Dubai ay parang isang malaking canvas. Nakapagsimula na tayo at nagawa na natin ang "Unang Guhit." Marami pang puting espasyo ang di nadudungisan at higit pa ang pintura at pinsel na hindi nagagamit. Nasa iyo na KaGuhit kung ano ang susunod mong hakbang.


Sa ngayon, isinaayos na ang ating pormal na membership sa Embahada ng Pilipinas at ang ating exhibit sa Philippine Pavilion ang magiging susi upang tayo ay tanggapin ng walang alinlangan. Sa darating na buwan ay magkakaroon tayo ng serye ng pagpupulong para sa mga hinaharap na aktibidad at inaasahan ng bawat isa ang inyong partisipasyon.


Samantala, sa ngalan ng GuhitPinoy Global, batiin natin ang GuhitPinoy Dubai ng isang makabayan at mapagpalayang tagumpay sa larangan ng Sining Pilipino.


Mabuhay tayong lahat!

Kumusta na kayo...

I'm glad that the GPDubai meeting last Friday, February 8 went well. Two new talents were added to the already illustrious crop of GPDubai artists. First, is a lady Architect and the other one is a painter/artist who was actually a participant of the first ever GPDubai meeting/brainstorming session held June 15 of last year at Reef Mall, Dubai. We all know that more talents are still in hiding so do invite them and encourage them to share and join us in our activities.

Our exhibit at the Global Village, Philippine Pavilion is still on so don't hesitate to drop there and visit our booth. If you have any inquiries kindly contact anyone of this site Admin: Liza, Japat and the other officers whom you can find hanging around the Philippine Pavilion. Again, since we still have several weeks to show-off, we still urge you to participate in the ongoing exhibit by posting your artworks at the booth.

Right now, I'm in Manila as most of you know, so allow me to share some of the refreshing reports I have here...

I just met with the organizers of GuhitPinoy Philippines and they are so admirable of the passion and the efforts you guys out there in Dubai are doing for GuhitPinoy. Interestingly, it seems we were able to channel this enthusiasm to them, that's why they are now planning to have a GuhitPinoy Global exhibit this year in Manila. Talks now are ongoing with the rest of GuhitPinoy Global chapters so expect to hear developments in the coming weeks and prepare your most freaking masterpieces.

The 4th KOMIKON (Philippine Comics Convention) will be held this October in a new and bigger venue, this convention was previously held in UP Bahay ng Alumni in Diliman, QC, and its 2008 edition is being planned at Megatrade Hall, at SM Megamall. GuhitPinoy Global will have a booth in this con and GPDubai is expected of course to play an important role in this occassion. Prints of original artworks are allowed to make it worry-free especially for us artists who will not be physically present at the exhibit. Further details will be posted soon so keep on tune...

Again guys and gals, congratulations for all your efforts. And in behalf of the officers and members of GuhitPinoy Dubai we all wish you the best of luck and Happy Heart's Day!

Your KaGuhit,

Myke

Sa darating na taon, patuloy po nating itaguyod at ibandera ang galing ng Pilipino sa larangan ng Sining. Nawa ay maibahagi natin ang ating mga angking talino di lamang sa ating mga kababayan kundi pati na rin sa buong mundo.

Ipagpatuloy din nating linangin ang ating kakayahan sa pamamagitan ng pagsasalimbayan at pagpapalitan ng mga kuru-kuro sa kanya-kanya nating larangan. Iwan na natin ang bangungot ng nakaraan at humakbang tayo patungo sa mas makabuluhang hinaharap.

Sa ngalan po ng mga bumubuo ng GuhitPinoy Global at GuhitPinoy Dubai batiin po natin ang isa't-isa ng Masaganang Bagong Taon at Mapagpalayang Kinabukasan.

Mabuhay ang Lahing Pilipino!

Congratulations mga kaGuhit for a job well done!

I know this is way too early to celebrate but I’ve seen personally the response of the people (from different nations) at our small exhibit in the Philippine Pavilion at the Global Village and truly..., it was overwhelming! You should see and hear their faces and comments and you’ll surely be proud to say... hey, I am Pinoy!

We still have more than a couple of months to showcase our works and I continuously encourage everybody to participate. Don’t forget that this is “your exhibit.” This is one of the rare chances that we get to smack our works on somebody else’s face, so come and join the fun. Well, I myself was enjoying too much that I got engrossed with GP Dubai, I almost forgot it’s a Holiday tomorrow.

So for now, in behalf of my family and the members of GuhitPinoy Dubai let me extend my warmest Christmas Wishes to all of you!

Maligayang Pasko po sa inyong lahat!!!

(And that's a reason to celebrate...)

Greetings to everyone!

I was so excited to visit Dubai last Wednesday, 12th of December, not only because I will be able to glance again the beauty and enormousness of Burj Dubai but also it’s the opening of GuhitPinoy Dubai Exhibit at the Global Village. I was all packed and raring not minding the workload I left in the office. Because FYI, I had to file a leave just to attend this important event and had to leave Abu Dhabi early to be able to mop things up prior to the opening.

However as most of you know, this enthusiasm died down when I together with our club’s officers went to the venue of our exhibit at the Philippine Pavilion. I wouldn’t want to go on the details of our frustration, but rather I want us to look forward the coming days where we will be able to finally present not only our artworks and masterpieces but also display the talent of our members. Mahaba pa naman ang Global Village, hanggang March 1st pa. So, we still have the luxury of time at marami pa tayong puwedeng gawin.

On the lighter side, kudos goes to Japat Guevarra for creating this site where the members can be updated with the group’s activities and also showcase their works. Remarkably, this site also has been a venue for inviting and eventually accepting new members. And because of this, in behalf of GUHITPINOY DUBAI and its GLOBAL members we are delightful to welcome the “new members” in our club. (Huwag niyo lang kalimutan magbayad ng membership fee ha? :) Our thanks also go to Genesis Maniquez for coordinating with the members that are joining the exhibit and for producing the materials we need. Also to Jovel R. for confirming our stand number... at paskong-pasko ang ating stand, number “25.”

Now, we are looking forward to the coming Eid break. Most likely, everything will be set up during this holiday. So, keep posted and do invite the other members that are not yet registered on this site to sign up. Also coordinate with Genesis M. for more info regarding the plan they have for the 18th of December. And to those who would like to submit their artworks and present their activity proposals you can contact our two Vice Presidents, Mr Alvin Apolonio and Mr Ferdinand Bernales. For member’s contact info, kindly PM Melissa Guevarra. For those who have not submitted their contact info PM n’yo rin si Melissa G :)

Let’s make our kababayan’s visit to the Global Village an interesting one. Pasayahin natin ang mga pamilyang Pilipinong dadalaw sa Philippine Pavilion. Let us inspire their kids and our fellow artists through our works and efforts. Let us altogether banner Filipino creativity and arts.

So, to all the hands that are making their contribution to this noble cause, the mouths that are spreading the word, to the people that has been making our presence felt... Mabuhay kayo mga KaGuhit! At kita-kita tayo sa Eid...


Para sa Diyos at Inang Bayan,
Michael Turda
