Last September Weekend - Vignette #1

2 - 4 - 6 - 8  !!

Who Do We Appreciate  ? !

Ha ! - Sure sounds like some Teeny-Bopper Cheerdance Pep Shout-Out from some local West Coast High - Whatever !!

 Just some random ramblings to break the ice here as I share these 

"smart snaps" I crafted, of [only] eight members  {randomly converging, on the-spur-of-the-moment just minutes before their routine}  of the UP Pep Squad Alumni - who, at the Halftime Break of the UP-NU match [MoA Arena] -- again showed the UAAP faithful why the UP Pep Squad, as I Personally Feel { please feel free to Disagree or Agree ! } has always been - and will continue to be ---  

A. A. C. A. !! --- > Always A Class Act !!

But this post does not mean to deal with such merit or status - but rather - simply - and hopefully - 

..... simply shares a more "UP-Close" and Personal Angle {at least as far as these eight charmers are concerned} - If Only for the few the fleeting moments one will view these images  ....

.....  and some "silly" thoughts on Art, in general ....

So far, I am NOT that familiar [let alone, acquianted] with these 8 UP Pep Squad Alumni. {I've known Trixie, tho for sev years}

Remember the names of only 4 of them-- [forgive me] But I still am at a loss, as to who Is who ..... Trixie is the one [probably laughing big time,with her white chops showing, wide open] in the FIFTH JPEG {look farther down} in this post

The other three names I recall are -- Ivy Tabares / Monalyn Luna / Marrielle Barraza -- {Cam Lagmay->Girl !,  e-mail me again at artbro333@yahoo.com Please !}

 

Dance IS a Non-Verbal form of Art - Right ?  - and so is Photography - Right ?

. And at their Highest Levels - wether it be Dance, Music, Painting, Photography or whatever Art Form - It is How Strong it comes across to the Viewer or Listener - that Truly Matters - How the Audience is Compelled, or "Moved" - - - How it HITS Home ! - in a manner of speaking - It's about Heart, It's about Soul -  It's about Passion - It's about making one FEEL something  -> Any Strong Emotion, for that matter  ......and then Some !!

No, no, no - I'm not tryin' to "sound profound" here, or anything even remotely close to that - It IS Simply the Truth.

If you want to be a True Artist - Isagad Mo Na ! - Commit, Sacrifice and let your Passion Carry you to Greater Heights !

One thing I've noticed though, in the immensely broader context of Art  

[history and all]  .......

For any artist there is no Greater Reward than Being Acknowledged and Appreciated - Right ?

But the Great Ones - 
Not only are they Acknowledged and Appreciated  ......
They are Remembered.
