Book review by Alexies Iglesia

This book is one of the most interesting book i have read. It's cover is simple yet it contents can change your mind.

I remember how this book got to my book shelf. My bestfriend Isabelina Delabahan  gave me this book last year as a birthday gift to me. At the first time I saw it I'm really curious about it. 

When I have read the book, the first chapter is all about George Soros. At that time I'm really amazed about him specially how he got 2 billion in just a few days, if i'm not mistaken it was called black wednesday in Great Britain where cash hoarding is applied. After the life of George Soros is the chapter about Warren Buffett. I thought he is just a simple investor but after reading some few pages i realized that he is no just a normal person specially how he manage to study the grahams dictum and start his own money. I reasearched about him a lot, read other books about him and watch a lot of documentaries. I can say that Warren Buffett is really the sage of Omaha.

Until now, I'm still obsessed in reading this book. Even though i have already finished reading this i always open it. Reading this book gave me a lot of interest in Global market and Investing. 

Today I am working in an IT company while studying as a BSIT student in Mondriaan Aura College in Subic. While I am working in our company, I am studying how their system work. Using the knowledge  from our marketing subject and some books that I have read, I saw what are the strength and weaknesses of it. Actually you can clearly see what are their weakness and strength  if you know Market and Product Expansion Grid. But I am not in the position to tell them since i'm only a graphic artist. But I think, maybe someday I'll just apply it to my own business. 
Someday I'll apply what I read about it. I'll gonna be one of the maelstrom of Global Market. :)

Animation UP couple painting

Actually These were not all of it. I have a lot of paintings but i didn't manage to kept and took a photo of them. I am not good in keeping them so I usually give it  to my friends because I know that they will treasure it.

Almost all of it were made using acrylic paint and covered with acrylic emulsion to keep it away from dust and scratches.

Green Rose Painting

 I am not good in painting. I only know how to use it and I passion it really well. Every time i do not do anything, i always paint. When I am at home and do not have any assignment in school I always read books and draw.

Every drawing I made here were special, special in a way that I usually did it for a reason. Something like for special someone or because of some emotion that I want to reflect on it.

I cant put a caption on each painting since they were
long ago when I did and I do not want to specify them all. There are some painting here that I specially made for someone. The green rose is for Ginie, I did it since when I saw the Actual photography of green rose in the internet it reminds me of her. I made it for her but actually I din't gave it to her, I donated it to our school library.

Peonies Acrylic Painting

The Tulips is for nikkipot, actually when I am painting it, I know that its gonna be for her. The painting really reflects on her, simple, cute, and always good to be with or looking at, something that you will never ever be tired to look at or to talk with. I really wanted to give it to her but I'm afraid that she might not accept it, but later on when I posted it on my wall on facebook without telling her the reason she comment that it was her favorite flower and she wants it. Actually I really dont know it's her favorite.

The Acrylic Painting of Up couple is for Donut, uhmm.. Why? uhm.because it is really meant to be for her.

Mavi's Vector Portrait for her boss

Mavi's Vector Portrait for her boss 
by: Alexies Iglesia

This Christmas why not give your love ones a very special and memorable gift.  You can give them a lot of things but one of the most beautiful thing and creative thing you can give is a personalize  vector portrait. It might be simple but it will last a life time if it was kept in safe place.

With your vector portrait you can put  their image in a frame or on a mug. You can also print them on shirt or any fabric cloth. Some people buy a key chain where you can put the vector photo inside it.

It is truly a remarkable gift this Christmas. Giving you special someone this kind of gift will truly make them feel their worth.
