Felix Villaver: Ordinary Artist in Cebu

May 29, 2011 at 2:04 am

My family and I went to E-mall for a window shopping and dinner. Later after the dinner, I went along to the first floor to look for some unique design lighter. I am really amazed by people who are very good in designing things and imaginative minds. Just like a friend of mine here in our place, his name is Felix Villaver. He is only in grade school and stopped his education because of poverty. His both parents died already. The only one who takes care of them (siblings) is her grandmother who is almost in the top of her breathe just to fetch them. But even though, his sisters are working hard to help her grandmother and themselves for them to eat everyday and go to school as they can. Because he can hardly find a stable job, what he did is draw projects for students, body arts or tattoo someone who wants, specially in Sinulog Festival which is already a traditional to be tattoed in the body by white henna and get paid for it. He became known to our place as an artist because almost all the arts that he creates is just came from his imaginations.

The only thing that I worried about him is that he is a chain-smoker. He can’t draw if he don’t smoke. I think he already make it as his hobby when he is doing something. I know it is really dangerous to health and that is why when we went to E-mall and saw some lighters, I also thought that I’ll buy him some e cigarette for him to be healthy even he’s smoking. Though, it was just an electronic one.

And by the way, he also have a good voice. I love it when he sings the “Superman” by Five for Fighting. *wink*
