COCOY LAUREL'S GIFT TO NORA AUNOR

Image
Borrowed from Andra Exclusive 24 April 2025 Celia Diaz Laurel: "Surprise!  Let’s begin with this. As confirmed by Ms. Lotlot de Leon, this piece was painted by none other than Cocoy Laurel. Starting from Celia Diaz Laurel, making portraits or paintings has always been the family’s love language. Just imagine the effort poured into a painting like this—pure love and affection captured on canvas. And imagine receiving such a gift? This is actually just one of two paintings Cocoy lovingly made for Guy.  “This one,” Cocoy said, “is dedicated to her National Artist award. The other is for her being the Superstar, MY Superstar.” (Trust us when we say that the story behind the “Superstar” painting is just as powerful.) When you speak to Cocoy, you hardly need to ask questions. Just a few prompts, and the stories flow freely from his heart. “Were you able to show this to her personally?” we asked.

Image
9 November 2019 lifted from the writing of Melany  Amante Mabao Maguindanao too irresistible not to share.  How beautifully crafted by your magic pen. The description is beyond dreaming. A vision of a paradise! - Leah C Dancel,  9 November 2024 Deep inside the woods, the thick foliage draped over the wide clearing within.It hung gloriously from the mighty branches of the towering trees around. A spellbinding beauty of green leafy canopy that shades you from the heat and glare of the sunlight.  Standing in the middle of several massive wood trunks...I'm savouring with delight, the beauty of nature. I am drowning in the freshness of the natural woody scents coming from the tree barks, combined with the smell of the mossy earth. The abundance of light green moss carpeted the ground and seemed to have crawled and covered several large protruding roots. The temperature here is much cooler than the outside and it  permeated through the pores of my skin.I inhaled long...
