WONDERLAND will be featuring art from Remi Mead. She will be unveiling new art pieces for her first solo art show at iKandy (Pearlridge Center).

Remi was born on August 28th, 1989, in Okinawa, Japan. She had always been drawing since the age of 5, as she watched her mother painting by her side. At the age of 13, Remi moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, along with her parents, and lived there for over 4 years. Still then, her art teachers in high school were amazed by her talent. Going through difficulty of learning English language, she had faced many different types of trials in her life time. But she realizes that ART could break the wall of "language" barrier. Because of the talent that God has given to her, she is not anymore afraid to face many challenges. Now she is based in Oahu, Hawaii, living a wonderful life in paradise!

Pancho Abalos has been doing art since he was able to pick up a crayon. His art is rooted in his love for cartoons, hip-hop and graffiti with his earliest influences being cartoons like Transformers, Robotech and GI Joe. He began sketching what he saw on TV those early Saturday mornings. Pancho's art has since evolved to a modern contemporary style of urban art that has been described as vibrant, dynamic and intricate.

Pancho Abalos is influenced by his emotions and surroundings; family, friends, the graffiti and hip hop culture the environment that envelopes him. His love for creating characters evolved from the birth of his daughter, Alyssa. When she turned three, she fell madly in love with dinosaurs and that was when Pancho's character Dino Girl was introduced. It has since evolved into his tee-shirt and novelty line labeled Artist Proof.

Pancho Abalos was born in Quezon City, Philippines, but has spent his formidable years growing up here in Kapolei and Ewa. After graduating from Campbell High School in 1997, he studied Graphic Design at Bob Jones University, in Greenville South Carolina.

He started doing art professionally in 2003 and has kept going ever since in an effort to continue mastering his techniques. Pancho Abalos has done a significant number of Oahu exhibitions including live murals with the Ground Up Movement. He's shown in Los Angeles, the Philippines and have received several awards and honors in juried exhibitions in both Hawaii and California. He also did charity shows in New York, was a featured painter at the 2006 Festival of Philippine Arts & Culture, the 2007 and 2006 First Hawaiian Bank Auto Show for Scion of Hawaii, Remy’s on Temple in LA’s Historic Filipino Town, the 2006 Windward Artist’s Guild Annual Juried show at the Ho’omaluhia Botanical Gardens and several night clubs around LA and Orange County. Pancho Abalos also collaborated with many well-known artist of the urban art genre such as Alfie Numeric and Dave Araquel of Beatrock clothing. Art is his lifelong passion.

10.18.09: Susan G. Komen " Race for the Cure"

2009-10-19T11:02:00.009-10:00

A dear friend of mines has a family history of women who had breast cancer, so I really wanted to participate when she told me about the Susan G. Komen "Race for a Cure" Walk/Run. Though our team was only 8 members, we hope to inspire all women to participate and give a great cause. Our fabulous team met up around 6am, dressed in comfort and style! I want to thank American T-Shirt for putting PINK Shirts ON SALE! I want to thank Micha at PROLIFIK, for sponsoring our t-shirt printing. The shirts came out sick! But most of all I want to thank all the lovely ladies who participated: Reoni, Danielle, Chelsey, Victoria, Joselyn, Morae, & Alyssa. You can still make a donation at the Susan G. Komen website. Hope to see you'll next year!

What are WE doing?
We're walking to support the Hawaii Affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure because WE want to make a difference in the fight against breast cancer. Please help US reach our fundraising goal by making a tax-deductible donation today.

You may donate online with your credit card by clicking the “Support” button on this page. Your support helps us get another step closer to a world without breast cancer.

Your breast health…
The greatest risk factors for breast cancer are being female and growing older. Breast cancer knows no boundary, be it age, gender, socio-economic status or geographic location. One in eight women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. That’s one in eight within your company, school and organization!

The key to survival is early detection. Three simple steps for early detection are regular mammograms, clinical exams and breast self-exams. And, remember, breast cancer affects more than just the patient; friends and family need support too.

What does Komen do?
For more than 25 years, Komen for the Cure has played a critical role in every major advance in the fight against breast cancer – transforming how the world talks about and treats this disease, and helping to turn millions of breast cancer patients into breast cancer survivors.
Over the next 25 years, an estimated 25 million women around the world will be diagnosed with breast cancer if we don’t find a cure. Komen will not stop until we discover and deliver the cures. That’s our promise.

We Will Find the Cure!

Happy Father's Day to all the Fathers, and to the single mothers to hold it down for their children playing both the mother and father role.
I was fortunate in this life to be raised and shaped into the person I am today because of my parents, and because of my dad. He who always provides & sacrifices everything for his family, always there no matter what, someone who taught me more than I could ever explain. An unconditional love of my father made me, me. One of the most hardworking, generous, thoughtful, loving, smart man I've ever known in my life. Dad, I'm so proud to be your daughter. love, your sweetheart :)

2009-04-22T05:00:00.000-10:00

It's been almost 2 months since we made the move to our first official location at Pearlridge and my office/storage still isn't set up right. Some things are still in storage and I'm in major need of organization! Where's Oprah and her team organization experts, or maybe Martha would be a better choice since we're both crafty (=messy). My mom has been the best organizer so far in my book. Slowly when time is on my side I'll have an office make over! Any ideas for the makeover??
