Mixed media artist Helena Dias Sardenberg made this descent hours ago from Pedra Azul, where her jungle-wreathed studio, a stylish, organically-sourced chalet, is held bound by the thickest bamboo on the planet, a thatch roof, and the cadence of Brazil’s aviary decadence. Sardenberg’s contrasting worlds of natural order, sensuality, chaos, mysticism, and sophistication are, come what may, what her work–and this place–is really about.

Everyone is talking about this four number in online - Multiply, Plurk, Twitter and Facebook, then I found out that people here at home know about the latest gimik of Globe after they saw the commercial on TV. Many people are asking about the 4438 gimik and I just received an update from Globe and the Reasons to be happy with 4438. The gimik of 4438 will be revealed on April 4, 2010, this news is an alarm to all Globe subscribers to wait for the big announcement, Globe also released an activity contest were you submit a photo of a number 4438 that is roaming around the street of Manila and didn't expected that the number 4438 is standing in some malls or historical monuments.

The 4438 viral spreads since last week and it is a ground breaking viral for Globe announcing their latest gimik and offer, its sounds like more like a freebie to all subscribers.

you can check out the video teaser below that was shown on Tv.

Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Willis, Li, Statham, Lundgren, Rourke, Austin and Couture in one big movie!




The Expendables
I'm interested to watch this than the A-team. I don't care if they will say Stallone's movie will suck ,but seeing big action super stars in one movie is like eating a whole pizza with everything on top.

The Senakulo (from the Spanish cenaculo) is a Lenten play that depicts events from the Old and New Testaments related to the life, sufferings, and death of Christ.

The senakulo is traditionally performed on a proscenium-type stage with painted cloth or paper backdrops that are called telon. It takes at least eight nights - from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday - to present the play. Christ is presented traditionally as meek and masochistic, submitting lamblike to his fate in obedience to authority.

Produced by the Municipality of Taytay.
