KISLAP NG PILIPINAS

(Tula ni Wallei Bautista Trinidad at mga larawang obra

ni Maricris Fabi-Carlos)

Bayang marilag

Bulaklak ng sangkalupaan

Alab ng puso

Sa diwa namin ay ikaw.

Bitui’y marikit
Araw ay makislap
Maliwanag ang buwan
Hangin ay banayad
Sariwa ang kalikasan.

Ang bawat pangako
Hatid ay katuparan
Sa lupang sinukob
Marubdob ang pagmamahal.

May musikang payak

Sa pandinig ay panatag

May sayaw sa langit

Na puspos ng galak.

Araw at bituin

Pati na ang buwan

Lahat kikislap, kikinang

Sa Pilipinas na mahal!

About Maricris Fabi-Carlos

Her passion for the art started when her father introduced her to sketching and oil painting when she was younger. In 2007, she took basic and advanced photography courses at the FPPF( Federation of Philippine Photographers Foundation), finishing at the top of her class.and took wedding photography workshop with PCCI. In the same year, she went on to win Photo of the Year 2008 with her “Raindrops” entry in the PhotoWorld Cup Network, a tough competition of the best photographers among the Philippines’ camera clubs. More awards affirmed her artistic talent: she was two time Imahe Club’s Photographer of the Year in 2008-2009. In 2009, she ranked 5th as Photographer of the Year in PhotoWorld Cup; shooting up to 3rd in 2010.She is also a speaker in Photo World Asia 2011. Lately she won in the international Photo Competition held in South Korea. She beat more than 500 entries from Japan, Korea, Philippines, China, USA and Canada to win the 2011 Asia Pacific District Photographic Competition of the Professional Photographers of America (PPA).

She loves portraiture and landscapes, enjoying and portraying them with available light. After her photographer-husband Jon Carlos taught her Photoshop, Maricris got hooked on photo editing and doing layouts for weddings, and shortly thereafter her passion to create surreal images started.

Amorsoloesque is inspired by National Artist Fernando Amorsolo, who art depicts Filipino Culture and way of life amid the back lighted scenic Philippine scapes.

Maricris is now doing photography workshops. Lately, she conducted a highly successful “Amorsoloesque” workshop in Singapore and Middle East ( United Arab Emirates) It was attended by Singaporeans, Indonesians, Malaysians, Indians, Vietnamese as well as Filipino expats.
It was a great success as every single attendee learned the Amorsoloesque tips and Techniques.
The participants output were astounding, It piqued everyones dormant creative mind.And as what Amorsoloesque is all about..It is a learning oppurtunity.

“Amorsoloesque is a learning technique,” says Kris, “the only limit is your imagination.”

FREEDOM BY MAHER ZAIN

A dear friend of mine introduced this song to me while we are having conversation. I love the melody and the message is so clear.

 

And here's the lyrics of the song:

Gathered here with my family

My neighbours and my friends
Standing firm together against oppression holding hands
It doesn't matter where you're from
Or if you're young, old, women or man
We're here for the same reason; we want to take back our land

Oh God thank you...
For giving us the strength to hold on
And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won't let us fall, ooh no
We know you're here with us

No more being prisoners in our homes
No more being afraid to talk
Our dream is just to be free, just to be free
Now when we've taking our first step
Towards a life of complete freedom
We can see our dream getting closer and closer, we're almost there

Oh God thank you...
For giving us the strength to hold on

And now we're here together

Calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won't let us fall, ooh no

I can feel the pride in the air
And it makes me strong to see everyone
Standing together holding hands in unity
Shouting out loud demanding their right for freedom
This is it and we're not backing of
Oh God we know you hear our call

And we're calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won't let us fall, ooh no

We're calling you for freedom, freedom
We know you can hear our call, ooh oh
We're calling for freedom, fighting for freedom
We know you won't let us fall, ooh no
We know you're here with us
