hi hi hi everynyan !! forgot to update u guys on how my day went yesterday so here it is hihi :3 long text under cut !

THE YEAR END PARTY WAS SOOO FUNN !!!! although it started a bit boring, the games helped to set the mood :)

the first thing that we did after the prayer was the runway show where we had to show off our clothes and the student teachers and our adviser were the judges :) was very shy when it was me and my partner's turn but still fun. our vice president and auditor looked sooo good together !! even as friends, they still match each other :) our vp's outfit was pretty too, doesn't really fit the christmas vibe, but still pretty regardless !!

the first game was bring me !!! still a bit boring (for some) but the way my classmates rushed to bring the items was funny. they almost DRAGGED our adviser but they ended it after he refused.

second game was pass the message !! it was a bit fun bcus a lot got to participate in it :)

the third game was trip to jerusalem !! its where we dance around chairs that are arranged in a circle, once the music stops we have to get to sit on a chair or else we'll get eliminated ! managed to stay until the fourth round before i got eliminated </3 THE ENDING WAS SO ANTI CLIMATIC LOLOL classmate 1 didn't run to get to the seat, only classmate 2 did </3 STILL FUN THOUGH !!!!

the fourth game was paper dance !! this was one of the most chaotic games they played bcus it was by partner !!! and our adviser picked the participants, all of them were ships that he made up lololol here are some pictures !!! the couple with the red heart ended up winning :) they're also the most shipped in the class along with the guy with red jacket w/ the girl with white floral dress ! ^_^ hope they got a video of this game bcus it was genuinely fun !!! the whole class were squealing and yelling

after these games was food time !!!! i also ate a pizza for the first time ( DON'T judge ), it was the cheese pizza from greenwich ! it tasted like ensaymada (?) with a hint of ketchup .. didn't eat the crust bcus it was too hard for my liking ... ATE MOST OF IT THOUGH YIPPEE !!! the mango bango was good :) a bit bland but still good !! didn't like the other one bcus it tasted like yoghurt .. sour & warm .......

after this was the awarding !!! the officers came up with an awarding for the whole class, it was for who's the class clown, prettiest girl, etc etc ! didn't win any of them but got veryyyy close to the smartest girl (one vote diff) the results were sent to our gc :3 got surprised bcus i saw my name on the quietest girl list with seven votes ... got one vote for face card and clean freak <3

we also played two more games after this ! one hula hoop game and one where they have to pop the balloon on the other participants lap, they asking kung sino daw gusto maputukan </3 SO BASTOS TALAGA ... it was fun tho !!

after the party, i went to sm manila and fine arts museum !! bought three bead rings from a stall inside sm and two sketchbooks from national bookstore !! wanted to look around some more but i still had to go to the museum and it looked really gloomy outside, i was afraid it'll rain and i'll get stranded in sm 🥹 luckily, it didn't !! and my walk to the museum went fine :)

some pictures i took before entering >_<

and some pictures from inside !!!

the spolarium will never not amaze because wow. it's extremely beautiful and everytime i look at it, it makes me feel like i'm inside the painting and hearing how the bodies are dragged ... i could stare at it all day and never get bored of it. its size also caught me off guard the first time because i never knew that it was this big ! it quite literally can swallow me whole. and i'd let it ! my goal visiting the museum was to see amorsolo's exhibits again !! he's definitely my favorite filipino painter !! absolutely adoreeee his sketches !!! every line he drew has a purpose and they never feel out of place ! and the way he draws faces is just so 🥹🥹🥹 almost cried while looking at his paintings </3 ( oa mode on )

can't add any more pictures so i'll just add them to another post !

visited the night market near the bonifacio shrine ( kkk statue ) and bought a lemonade ! it was sweet and refreshing :) sad that i only got the medium size and not the large </3

PHEW THAT'S ALLL !!!! this day was fun and i enjoyed it a lot :) glad that my decision of attending the year end party gave me joy instead of making me sad and regretting it :'3 i actually intended to stay in the museum longer but my feet were crying and begging me to let them rest </3

The thing about AI art isn't that it's generally a bad thing, but due to the fact that people use it to steal others' works, which is wrong in general. You wouldn't someone to base off your hard work and sweat without credit.

Other than that, if you genuinely think actual artists who can draw whatever the fuck they want at any given time are not better than AI, and then continue to rely on AI, the future will end with people who don't know how to use a pencil, look at historical paintings and wonder how people did all this without technology, which is kinda sad.

AI art would not have been a problem if your main reason of use for it is to have a basis on something, or, even better, medical pictures that can contribute to letting people have a visual of physiological and biological issues that can actually benefit them.

But if it's to steal work, discredit real artists, then that's so stupid because your ass might have gotten it in a few seconds but buddy this is why you suck at art projects that require using your hands for any general subject before AI was popularized.

Cause it will be so disappointing when a future era looks at the Mona Lisa, The Spolarium (and this is a floor to ceiling framed painting), or The Last Supper and think "Wow how did they do this without AI and make it look great?" It's just sad to imagine.

AP is the best subject.

My name is Justin Ryan F. Patino, and my favorite subject is AP it is so fun and Ms. Ybanez is the GOAT, she is very funny and can teach us new things easily, she even shows us alot of movies that are fun and education.

PERSONAL DETAILS: Here's some things i learned in AP, let's start with Heneral Luna's story, Heneral Luna's full name is Antonio Narciso Luna de San Pedro y Novicio Ancheta he was born on October 29, 1866 but he sadly died on June 5, 1899 (aged 32) he died at Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija, First Philippine Republic

SIBLINGS:

His older brother, Juan, was an accomplished painter who studied in the Madrid Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. His Spolarium garnered one of the three gold medals awarded in the Madrid Exposición Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1884. Another brother, José, became a doctor. Yet another brother, Joaquin, fought with Antonio in the Philippine-American War, and later served as governor of La Union from 1904 to 1907. Joaquín would also serve as a senator from 1916 to 1919. His three other siblings were Numeriana, Manuel, and Remedios.

HENERAL LUNA:

He was a fiercely general and wanted to discipline his soldiers and the other Filipinos, He wanted to free the Filipinos from America.

But Emilio Aguinaldo killed Luna because he felt threatened by his power and influence, and because he wanted to eliminate a rival who oppsed his policies. Heneral Luna fought bravely but died from his allies which is very sad this is why Heneral Luna said "The americans aren't the only enemies but ourselves."

Again, I'm Justin Ryan F. Patino and thanks for reading this I hope you learned how Heneral Luna served for the Philippines great thanks to him and all the other heroes, bye bye.

On April 14 2023 we have our educational fieldtrip we will visit different interesting places such as museums, departments and amusement parks. It was 5 in the morning when I arrive at my school waiting for my classmates and teachers that will guide us the whole day. On 6 am I got to our destined bus and started to drove to our first destination. As we wait to arrive in our first destination, we started to play music and jammed on it, we share stories and funny moments inside the bus. As we are chatting and telling stories one of the teachers stands up and gave us breakfast, our breakfast menu includes a fried chicken rice meal, Water and a piece of sponge cake. After i finish eating, the feeling of drowsiness hits me, i closed my eyes and had a quick nap. A few minutes later as i opened my eyes and look through the window i saw a beautiful and fascinating architecture, it was the building of the museum. My seatmate look at me and said "hey!! We're here! Finally!" She said happily, i looked at the window and start to feel excited i was a fan of paintings sculptures and arts, kinda consider my self as an artist, I have drawn, sketch and paint many things, if you asked me my favorite kind of paintings are religious and renaissance paintings, realistic paintings, surrealism paintings, and scenery paintings. I fixed my self and bring my sketchbook with me, the teachers told us to form a line, we formed a line and head inside. I was fascinated on how beautiful the exterior and the interior of the museum. My eyes is filled with excitement as we step inside. The museum staffs gives us guidelines and rules inside of the museum, they told us that we can take a picture and videos but we need to make sure that our camera doesn't produce flashes as we take a photo of each paintings. One of the staff became our tour guide and starts to introduce some paintings, he told us its history and who made it, i was so mesmerize by the beauty of it, Spolarium made by the amazing artist, Juan Luna, I am amaze of how he illustrated and paint the characters, i was amazed by the details of it, the merchants, soldiers and dying gladiators. I take a picture of it and take notes about Juan Luna's masterpiece. Our tour guide let us to explore the museum floor by floor, me and my partner decided to go to the religious paintings, as we step inside i was amazed on how big are the canvases, i began to take pictures, list informations of each of the paintings and observe the details of it such as the type of paint that they use or the strokes that they did. After the religious paintings we decide to go to the scenery paintings, as i was looking at the paintings, i saw a painting that catches my attention, it was the moonlight by the sea made by maralino rivera, i was fascinated by it, i love on how he illustrated the sea and the moon, it also has a hint of loneliness and peace. In my paintings i love illustrating the moon and the ocean, so seeing moonlight by the sea captures my heart.

No haiku bot you actually are good with that.

Learning is universal, and what people learn depends on how much they want to learn. These disabled artists who spoke up show that determination.

So no, AI isn't art. They might make pictures, but think of it this way: do you want a future where everyone will look at past paintings (like the Mona Lisa and The Spolarium) and think "How did they do that without AI?" Is that what y'all want?

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" Everyone can make art dipshit it came free with your fucking humanity

Museum of Fine Arts

At the Museum of Fine Arts

Amongst the many places, we chose the Museum of Fine Arts. I love Fine Arts. We get to have a tour guide also. We walked from NCAA to the Museum of Fine Arts. At our back is the Spolarium Describing the painting to me It is a whole lot different when you have a tour guide with you. You get to understand the art works better, how they are arranged. So if you get to a museum, ask if you could…

FIRST TIME

First Time Travelling with Classmates was so fun. This was my first time joining a tour in our school back in 2019, My mother let me join in our tour because teachers said in the meeting that this tour will be having a plus points in our grade, that's why my mother Joined me. This tour is in Manila, This is also my first time to go there in Manila. We took the bus and my friend requested that we sit next to each other, so I told this to the finance office to put us next to the list. While we were going to the Manila Cathedral, the one who was with us on the bus was vomiting and not feeling well. For our first time traveling, this is one of our problems because we are not used to traveling. When we arrived at the Manila Cathedral, we went down and took pictures here. We spent almost 1 hour here just to appreciate the Cathedral. Next we went to the National Museum of Fine arts. The spolarium by Juan Luna opens up to us. It was explained to us what the story of this Painting really is. And at the National Museum, we went around and were given time again to appreciate the different arts that are inside the museum.

After the National Museum we went to Gardenia. Here we were taken inside the factory of different types of bread. Almost everything is done by machines until dividing the bread and putting it in plastic is also done by machines. As we circled here, I realized that the era is really different now, Everything is done by machines, maybe soon people will lose their jobs because everyone is doing their work by machines. After we went to Gardenia, we went to the Enchanted Kingdom. This was my first time to come here, and I was given a chance to come here. When we got off the bus, we went to the entrance to enter, I still had all my food with me because I thought I could put it inside. So I returned to the bus to leave my food inside and I didn't realize that my friends were already inside and I was the only one left outside.

When I went inside I was not with anyone and I was sad because I called my friend they were already on the Ferris wheel and I was the only one left at the bottom, I went around the Enchanted Kingdom without them because I was separated from them. I rode different rides to enjoy this tour. I made the most of that opportunity because I knew I would only experience it once so I didn't think twice about not enjoying it. I did everything to enjoy that moment. I even used up my allowance because I bought a few tender juicy hotdogs even though they were expensive (sarap kasi) So when we got back to the bus, my allowance was used up when we stopped at Jollibee to eat dinner, I didn't get off and I didn't I bought dinner because I used up my allowance. As I remember that moment, I realize that you have to save yourself from other things because it is difficult to find in the time of need. When my allowance ran out, at least one of my friends didn't lend me a loan, so I couldn't buy my dinner. But I bought a gift for my family. At least I enjoyed the tour that took place. My "First Time" has come a long way

FINALS: Three Questions on the Resurfacing of Juan Luna's Long Lost Painting, "Hymen oh, Hyménée"

Was the painting really lost in the hand of Juan Luna?

Has the government done any way to search for the painting?

Is it worthy to display such an iconic painting in a private museum instead in the National Museum?

Juan Luna is a classical painter who has played an important part in raising the Philippine art school to international recognition. The Spoliarium, one of his most famous works, won a gold medal at the National Exposition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1884. The enormous mural depicts fallen Roman gladiators being dragged from the arena.

More than 130 years had passed, a long-lost masterpiece of Juan Luna was found by an art collector, Jaime De Leon, and now on display at the Ayala Museum. It was reported that the last time that the painting was last seen was in Paris. “Hymen, on Hyménéé” was dubbed the holy grail of Philippines Arts, as it features a Roman wedding from Juan Luna’s perspective.

Was the painting really lost in the hand of Juan Luna? This was the first question that came to my mind after reading some articles about the finding of the painting. From my perspective, it is just questionable how come the painting was in the hand of an aristocratic family in Europe knowing that it was purchased in the 1920s. An additional question formed in my mind in connection with his works after reading that the Spoliarium was awarded as a Prize of Honor but the jury decided not to give such an award that year. According to the book Juan Luna, The Filipino As Painter by Santiago Pilar, the reason why it was not given was it would have automatically put an Indio above the two-well known Spanish artists, Antonio Muñoz Degrain and Jose Moreno Canonero, who ranks second and third respectively. What if it was intentionally bought by the Europeans? By looking at the painting, there is indeed a potential of winning another award if it will be presented by Juan Luna. Since, the Spanish, specifically, could not afford to be lost by a Filipino artist, which they described as Indio, they instead bought the masterpiece, purposely or secretly, until it was announced missing.

Has the government done any way to search for the painting? It saddened me to read that the painting was claimed by an art collector by purchasing it in a high value amount. Knowing that this painting commemorates the hardworks of Juan Luna, the government must be the first one who has been doing something since the very beginning for the search of the painting. They should have done their very best and full effort in finding it. Though, De Leon said in one of his interviews that he does not have any plans of reselling tha painting. But, how sure are we for that? Knowing that he owned the painting now and even approached a private museum to display it to the public. Interest from other artists to purchase it is high specially for having a high value. Nonetheless, this kind of matter must also be prioritized by the government.If they can put attention to the other aspects of the country,I hope that they can also give importance and value on this matter as well, especially that every Filipino has the right to see and learn about this painting.

Is it worthy to display such an iconic painting in a private museum instead in the National Museum? We all know by this time that the long-lost painting is on display in the Ayala Museum, a private museum. It was said in reports that it would be free in the public eye on the day of the Philippine’s 125 Independence Day. However, what happens next after the day of the independence day? As of August 2022, the rates for the museum admission starts at the regular rates at P650 while discounted rate is at P350. That being said, only a few Filipinos are able to visit and see the painting. Why not display it in the National Museum instead? The Spolarium, a famous painting of Juan Luna, is now displayed in the National Museum. Thus, why not choose and display the long-lost painting here so that many people can be able to access and appreciate the beauty of the painting freely. Is there any hidden agenda in choosing a private museum?

Upon writing my questions and reasons, I believe that three questions are not enough to know and learn more about this recent topic. I also believe that this should be an eye-opener for us Filipinos about our rights to have access to the arts that our ancestors had contributed for our country. It should not be owned by someone but must be owned by everyone in this country. Arts should not be equivalent in the value of how much it costs but how important it is in the hearts and minds of all.
