weekend-snapshot
Yesterday, hubby and I chanced upon a TV show called ISLA on cable TV and If you have been to my main blog Blessings in Life, I have posted this photo as an entry for WW. Anyway, I saw this on TV and they featured the artist and painter behind this beautiful and colorful bridge in Singapore which is an idea and was painted by a Filipina artist named Pacita Abad. She is a Filipina whose hometown was in Basco, Batanes. She was a graduate of the University of the Philippines. She was a cancer patient who was confined in a wheel chair. With the help of a creative team, she painted this Alkaff Bridge as her gift to Singapore. She passionately believe in public art and hope that this project inspired many more like it and brings art into the every day lives of Singaporeans. It is a great work of art and entails painstaking details just to finish this. Her story was really inspiring. At one point, because of her condition, she can hardly write her signature in her artworks but she continued to paint colorful and beautiful art works which is really her trademark.
Hope you had a colorful weekend! Thanks for coming over!

Yup hubby upgraded this to WP 2.5 and I am still getting used to it. It looks cute inside but as I said I still have to get used to it so I would finish posts faster. I still have a lot of things to do and I try to hop around and do tasks as soon as possible before Ct even wakes up from his nap or sleep. Going back I had problems though coz the sidebar looks different and I can’t find the widget I’m looking for. The sticky post plug-in does not seem to work well with this so my main blog lost its sticky post. Hubby still has to check if he can do something about it. But I will get used to this with hubby’s help. Okay at least I got to update this now though not as often as I would want to. Thanks for dropping by and you can get more updates in my main blog - Blessings in Life! Happy Sunday!
