"Sarubanggi" by Dominic S. Rubio, oil on canvas ,1998 (early work)

Originally a song composed by Potenciano Gregorio in May, 1910. This ballad inspired many others in other forms, aside from music and a modern ethnocentric fusion version was made in 2001, if memory serves me internally. (?) The subject of Gregorio's composision was an overnight tryst, which became the inspiration for it in form of a poem, then a song, then a painting, and perhaps universally expressed and practiced by artists. Hehe! Naughty boys! ;) It was an Epiphany - he awoke next to the woman of his dreams.

Treasure Trash

Here's a great way to convert non biodegradable plastic trash as a resource into oil, reversing the process. Imagine how much plastic trash has permeated our planet (well, one may see for oneself) and what to do about it after coastal cleanups by volounteers. A sound idea that needs support by individuals instead of the government who's primary concern is how much the commission/ kickback they can make. (Go figure)
It costs less than a humvee!

Gravity Map Mopup

Interpreting abstract paintings and understanding gravity mapping with an artistic eye and analytical scientific mind is akin to understanding resonanating electromagnetic frequencies of the earth and our body operating in micromotion sympathetically. Now, notice our corner of the earth and what does one see undersea from the underground?  tune in to the broadcast at the hydrogen frequency.. no "wow" moments!  Only "Gee"!  A part-tikcle test, so to speak.  Charged inductive coupling, indeed. ;)

Expedition: meteormaker

The last tektite hunt Feb12- 20 2013 and March 1 2013 at site 341 Rizals SE from W helipad yielded eight tektites in nine days. A personal Record breaking find to date. Well, I do suppose everyone had focused too much on DA2012 and apohis to miss that which hit Russia ( wish you guys gathering and analysing airburst fragments the best of luck!)-  right under our supposedly watchful eyes towards the heavens. The Blue Kahuna sunset rises as time gathers like collectors, shall collect us as well. At the very least can feel but not see until the last moments. In our lifetimes, we get to witness the strangest of times wherein all the arts and sciences become one. And of a great change in our understanding for our host planet. It would take an equivalent of four planets resources to sustain the current population if all were equal. Now to get on with mining asteroids by touatis!  Or like I, better yet let it fall from the goodness gracious heavens like manna, the only difference is an extra letter.

Kahit Hindi pantay- pantay ang tao'y nang isinilang pantay Pantay tayo'y mapaparoon kahit Iba't ibang landas at kulay ang ating munting buhay.

Antique Philippine buri hat

Buri hat, Bulusan volcano Sorsogon circa1970s. Buri is a very versatile natural fibre like abaca, hemp, nito , palapa, rattan, nipa, anahaw, sawali, Cogon and many others. Now its various oil based polymer strings otherwise known as plastic. Imagine what a beautiful world it was before without plastic trash. If one would make something it would ideally be both made to last and ultimately biodegradable. I doubt if there are hats that would remain in a thousand years but that's a dunce cap. :)

The Serpent and the upsidedown nanometer rainbow by Wolf Grossstiener, Vienna Austria

The far- fetched connection in this lunar year between bioengineered artistry, bioprospecting, a future display for next generation gadgets, a tribute to a deceased painter, harvesting amino protiens, and reverse zombinol for the future flu. These islands apparently were already producing natural penicillin before, and during the worldwide outbreak of Spanish influenza. This was before the development of synthetic antibiotics that have in turn produced resistant strains in microbes and viruses. Back to the garden as Crosby, Stills and Nash convey..
