WORLDBEX GEARS UP FOR 2012

A new information to all that has something to do with construction. Whether your an architect, engineer or purchaser of companies that are in a way related to construction . For those who have to renovate, construct , here’s your chance to get all information you need in just one roof.

 Worldbex capped off 2011 with the highly successful World Bazaar Festival - with over 700 booths and hitting a record high of more than 200,000 attendees - the event turned out to be an overwhelming success for the country’s top expo group. Supported by ABS CBN, Worldbex Services International (WSI) is the leading exhibition and event organizer in the Philippines.

This year, the group is back with their biggest event, the World Building and Construction Exposition 2012 (WORLDBEX). This trade show is hailed annually as Asia’s largest and most awaited construction event. It is scheduled to open its doors for exhibitors, professionals, traders, importers, exporters, associations, buyers and enthusiasts from March 14 to 18, 2012 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila, the WTCMM East Wing, and the Philippine Trade Training Center (PTTC).

This year’s theme, “Building the Future,” aims to highlight the importance of the construction industry’s role in terms of the country’s economic growth. In line with this, a vital part of this year’s trade show is the WORLDBEX seminar series. The seminars will take place from March 15 to 17, 2012 at the PTTC. Twelve prestigious local and foreign speakers will tackle a wide range of topics concerning entrepreneurial architecture, leadership and management, urban planning, furniture design, and advocacies in the fields of architecture and construction.

Various exhibits will be on display during WORLDBEX 2012. Among these include the Furniture Gallery, which will showcase the intricate works of movable art in the form of classical and modern furniture designs; The Architects’ and Interior Designers’ Gallery which will house works and concepts by the country’s top-notch architects and high-calibre interior designers whose works have been recognized not only in the Asia Pacific region, but around the world as well.

Meanwhile the Grand Embassy Pavilion will be top billed by various foreign embassies and will discuss the different products, services, technologies, and leads to encourage mutual support from the international community.

All these will solidify WORLDBEX 2012 as the show where one can get maximum leads and sale opportunities for any product and service in the industry.

With hundreds of thousands of visitors annually, WORLDBEX offers a diverse portfolio for sale optimization and business to business opportunities. The organizers take pride in being the only construction exposition in the country with a business matching service that aims to connect businesses to both buyers and sellers participating in the event.

WORLDBEX 2012, in partnership with Wilcon Depot and the Council of Interior Design Educators, also aims to support the up and coming talents through Obra Maestra: Disenio Ecologico, a competition where the most promising interior design students in the country showcase their works in the PTTC. The designs of these students will battle it out while working around the theme “Sanctuary: A Place of Refuge,” which features the idea that every part of the home can be transformed into a refuge and can serve as spaces that heal the mind, heart, and body in order to uplift the spirit.

With the world facing numerous environmental concerns, this year’s WORLDBEX definitely takes the expo to a higher notch as the show incorporates economic and environmental sustainability as core concepts for the industry’s future, showing the company’s commitment to the constant growth and development of the construction business in the long run.

“CLASSIC SANSO” OPENED AT THE PODIUM LAST TUESDAY, 21 FEBRUARY

After having daughters being exposed to different types of art, I too became attentive to events that have connections with arts and culture. I even have a tenant artist and a good one, I may say. With this in mind, I would like to share to you this information about an on-going art exhibit.

“I’d like to make one point clear: when I repeat myself, I feel that it is an enriching experience, because the aspect of composition is what makes any painting a vital aspect—its changeability within the same form.”

-Juvenal Sanso

After a highly successful preview, the much-awaited exhibit Classic Sanso is now set to formally open at the Podium on Tuesday, 21 February 2012 at 6:30PM.

Classic Sanso opened at Galerie Stephanie last February 9 to a select group of art collectors, critics, and friends of the artist. The quaint but successful gathering had the artist himself meeting his guests. On Tuesday, February 21 at the Atrium of the Podium Mall on ADB Avenue, the exhibit opens to the public—allowing for the full appreciation of the immense talents of one of the creative titan in Philippine art.  For inquiries, please contact (632) 634-7954; (632) 709-1488; or email info@galeriejoaquin.com.

Classic Sanso is witness to a remarkable show of the internationally acclaimed Spanish-Filipino painter Juvenal Sanso of works revisiting his earlier themes and motifs. Known in the past decade for his highly regarded Moderno series – exploring the intense, highly colorful, and creative interpretations of particular views and sceneries he found memorable – the intrepid Presidential Medal of Merit awardee taps deeper into the realm of his memories to show us works that follow the conceptual line that has made him the pre-eminent Philippine visual artist today. His depictions of landscapes, seascapes, and floral scenes culled from his vast and well-travelled memories radiates with an energy and dynamism that is both alluring and captivating. His use of water is demonstrative of his singular ability to capture its many characteristics, from the vibrancy of tides to the tranquility of lakes.

Classic Sanso contains 40 rare works culled from the artist’s studio on canvas and paper. Classic Sanso shows Sanso at his very best—full of life, energy, and passion for his art.

A renowned painter, Juvenal Sanso is one of the best-known members of the Philippine Modernist movement. Having graduated from the College of Fine Arts of the University of the Philippines, he has as his contemporaries National Artists Jose Joya, Federico Aguilar Alcuaz, and Napoleon Abueva (his batchmate in UP). His teachers were National Artists Fernando Amorsolo and Guillermo Tolentino. A foremost master, Sanso has had a long and stellar career capped by a number of awards and recognitions including a King’s Cross of Isabella knighthood from the King of Spain, membership into the Order of Chevalier from the French Government, and a Presidential Medal of Merit from the Republic of the Philippines. His works are represented in the collections of some 40 museums in the world, including the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Cleaveland Museum of Art, the Smithsonian Institute, the Museum d’Art Moderne in Paris, the Rosenwald National Gallery of Washington, and the Cultural Center of the Philippines. His collectors include the Rothchild Family, Nelson Rockefeller, Vincent Price, Elsa Schiaperelli, Jean Cacteau, and many prominent American, European, and Filipino families.

THE FACE BEHIND ZEN ART

Art: the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is

 Beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.

I always believe that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. When you reach the age of forty like I did, I start to notice that there are changes in my physical attribute. I now pay attention to products and services that I know who expertise on this field is.  My research leads me this information that I think would benefits those people that encounter the same problems that I have.

Medical spas, dermatological clinics and anti-aging centers proliferate these days. So do products on skin care and anti-aging solutions. The market is now swamped with multifarious brands with often parallel claims: the ability to deliver a more beautiful, younger-looking skin. Aesthetic solutions come in the form of products and services. A combination of the best choices is often what the market is veering towards.

Celebrity endorsers have been making a killing out of some brands and centers or clinics, but the truth of the matter is, while it’s true that the proof of the pudding is in the eating, enlightened people know better than to swallow hook, line and sinker what every showbiz icon commissioned to represent a brand brandishes, blabbering those memorized lines for, say, television or radio commercials, or those blurbs in print ads. But it’s different when the face behind the name is the proponent herself, who puts her name on the line, subjects her face and body to public judgment, as she braves to be flaunted as the face behind what she offers. “This face behind the Zen Institute certainly knows what she’s talking about and she walks her talk” – people would say –  looking very much like her face has been naturally nurtured, suffused with that radiant, youthful glow, and her body looking just as youthful and well contoured. Yes, such is the case with the Zen Institute and the face behind it, which is no less than its founder and the moving spirit behind the respected institution that turned five years old in late November as a medical spa with cutting-edge offerings. All of Zen offerings, put as one, are the best there has ever been in the civilized world, and these are administered only by expert hands – either the hands of Dr. Mary Jane “MJ” Torres herself or hands that she had trained.

Celebrity names like Cory Quirino, Heart Evangelista, Eula Valdez, Ayen and Franco Laurel and Ciarra Sotto have been associated to Zen, but the ultimate definition of the face behind Zen points to Dr. MJ Torres. Still looking young and radiantly beautiful even at her 40-plus age, Dr. MJ is the indubitable best face behind the Zen Institute. She owns Zen and she perfectly models Zen’s good works rendered through expert hands and state-of-the-art technologies on non-surgical, non-invasive, painless procedures for beauty and youthfulness. If Dr. MJ’s objective has been to keep her face and body well-maintained and looking years younger than her true age, then she has certainly hit that objective right in the nail. Dr. MJ Torres indeed walks the talk judging from the way she looks. And her face and body have never seen the knife, and the lady aesthetic doctor has no intention of ever going for surgical procedures, whether for herself or for her patients. Why not, since Zen’s signature treatment alone, the Resonax, has been doing her wonders, which is why she wants to share it along with her other tried-and-tested beauty and anti-aging solutions to other women—and men, too. These solutions are complemented by the ultimate solution to hair loss since the hair is still the crowning glory of every man and woman.

  

Resonax, reportedly “Europe's most advanced non-surgical technology for face contouring and body sculpting (a state-of-the-art no-downtime, non-invasive body sculpting procedure that can be done in just a few minutes) is Dr. MJ’s signature treatment” that has been proving effective whether done singly or with the PRP Treatment, Platelet Rich Plasma. The latter is a procedure wherein a few drops of blood from the patient will be processed for a harvest of platelets to be reintroduced into the patient’s system to repair damaged cells and to make cells regenerate in certain parts of the face affected by aging.

Dr. MJ explains, “The non-surgical PRP procedure stimulates injured cells to heal and regenerate themselves,”  adding, “The PRP treatment stimulates the growth of cells, effectively smoothening out lines and folds, and diminishing, if not, erasing in time signs of aging.”

Dr. MJ’s latest treatment peruses the brand Dermaheal. It is fast gaining a good reputation as a brand carrying manifold products all proven effective at doing wonders in the aesthetic and anti-aging arenas. She reveals: “Dermaheal is a high quality brand of cosmeceutical anti-aging, anti-pigmentation, anti-hair loss and anti-inflammation solutions that treat other skin troubles as well.”

The Zen Institute seems to have the solution for every conceivable skin and body issue, administered in the serene, simple but lovely interiors of the Zen Institute where patients are attended to in attaining their beauty and youthfulness objectives inside-out literally through medical-technological solutions coupled with appropriate and doable lifestyle coaching. And the lady never tires learning and getting yearly updates in Europe, America and Asia. This doctor, who has trained on various aesthetic medical practices and technologies and the application and the testing of cosmeceutical breakthroughs in many parts of the world, makes her annual trips abroad to make sure she always has her hands on what’s best. She has gone a long way from the time she completed her dermatological medicine degree from the University of Sto. Tomas, passed the board and took further studies on Preceptorial Dermatology Training at Clinica Manila and then Liposurgery Training at the Philippine Academy of Dermatologic Surgery Foundation Inc. She then took further studies abroad on Mesotherapy and Lipotherapy Training and also on Platelet-Rich-Plasma (PRP) Training and so forth, under the tutelage of the world’s best practitioners who have advance knowhow in the medical fields of aesthetics and/or gerontology.
