Life in Saudi Arabia can be quite rudimentary with very limited outlets for recreation. Each day practically disappears in a blur of work to home routine - nothing significant. This is where I sought to get myself involved in communal activities that inspired me to better my craft and kept my passion for the arts alive. It is no small amount of surprise that I was featured in ABS CBNs Balitang Middle East segment. The FB likes, comments, personal calls and messages that ensued is nothing short of spectacular to me. Everyday is to be thankful for but is rarely reiterated in terms of words, so I do now the people who are with me that led to this recognition, to the people behind my drive in life. Thanks God for all the blessings that you gave to me... Firstly, my father Capt. Crisostomo Gentica jr. whos unwavering support made me into the determined person that I am. My mother, Evelyn Gentica who nurtured me and my passions. My siblings, Julien Gentica (who made my coming to Saudi possible), Christopher Luis Gentica, Carlo Gentica, Louela Niez and Louchel Villaruel for initiating in me the concept of team, friendship, love and competition! To my Gentica Family in Antiqui and Garcia Family in Mindanao, thank you for the love and support.... Thank you Richard Nicolasora for your introduction to Francis Antony who gave me a feature nothing short of generous! The recognition and exposure will inspire me for years to come! Of course, all the concepts shown in the exhibition was made into fruition by the Al Jonah Team (Al Jonah Boys), who executed artistically and edited my concepts to arrive into what is now, a well publicized concept. I wish to thank my closest friends, William Williams, Iam Will and Olin Bermejo, for their inspirational inputs and for providing me a guiding quality of advice and morale boost. My school friends, who are too many to mention individually - my heart is and will always be as theirs - Dameans98 and UE Fine Arts 02. Thank you FAME and Spectrum (specially Arnel Fajara Angeles, for always giving my concepts the extra amount of attention) for providing a platform for my artistic visions. To the city of GOOD WILL, Tacurong city, thank you very much... proud to be Tacurongnon! Lastly, Thank you to all my friends in Saudi Arabia (who may not even see this post) and FB friends - like away people!
