2009 and its opening gave this artist more opportunities and exposure in the fields of visual arts and because of the super busy time schedules, I almost forgot that I have a blog to update and enhanced. I was engrossed with the so many activities, especially at Holy Trinity College because of our celebration of the 25 Years Foundation all through out the year. Workshop facilitating, lectures in the arts, and of course the many judging all over.
