Trying to Pick up Pace

2009-04-27T21:06:00.001-07:00

I have been busy with lots of things lately that I have not blogged anything in awhile… Writing formal essays is not as easy as it seemsA month from now I will take the IELTS exams. I cannot really say that I am already confident for the exam. The past weeks of review were a challenge to me. I had to schedule my review right after my work. I never went to my evening classes on time. What the heck

Moody Monday

2009-02-01T23:19:00.000-08:00

It's another Monday. Fortunately I not swamped with work. With my idle time. I decided to make myself useful. Me and my bf are planning to build a blog. I could practice my web designing skills and he could practice his coding. It's already February and still I haven't made a descent design. Somehow I have whipped up something. Here is a sneak preview.Hopefully I will look fine when I will

Back in My comfort zone

2009-01-27T22:37:00.000-08:00

I haven't written a decent entry for a long time now. It's not that there is no design related entries i want to blog. I didn't have the time resources then. A quick recap of my absence. I got accepted in a new Company. It's a Mindanao/Visayas Ad Agency. After my career path went wayward after college I never thought that I would set foot on advertising soil again. When I closed my door on web

Meet Tenma Tsukamoto. She is my Mom's New year's gift to me. I don't know why I have a new year's gift but still I am glad to have something to open. At first I had no idea who she was. I asked a friend if he know's what character she is. The only thing I knew she was related to School Rumble...thats the only thing that I could understand on the box. My friend then gave me a link about her.

I got this from Avid.This is about copyright issues. Please read it carefully & with an open mind. I often come across rants by some young graphic designer or digital artist about how his/her idea was copied, or work was stolen or was used by others with out permission etc. And as an artist myself, my natural reaction I guess should be sympathy but it’s not. It just gets my blood boiling as to

Movie Shopping

2008-05-25T18:48:00.000-07:00

With lots of time loitering the internet. I went to apple's movie trailers and looked up for the latest movies. If I had fast internet I could have watched the trailers since streaming is prohibited here in the office so I was stuck reading and researching on the movies that caught my fancy.So here is my list. (hopefully I will get to watch them all).First on my list isFour MinutesJenny is young.

The word is out

2008-05-20T06:10:00.000-07:00

I know I have been silent for awhile now. I really didn’t write anything about it since I don’t want to raise any unwanted attention when I am not yet sure of what may happen next. It was just last Saturday when I knew I am going to write another new chapter in my life.A year has passed and a lot happened. I finally had a job in Davao and a design related one. I really didn’t apply for this

2008-05-12T19:36:00.000-07:00

When I’m looking for movies to watch I don’t usually see what is showing in the cinemas or what is coming soon on the latest movies list. For me it’s a treasure hunt. I am not really into block buster movies, or movies with famous actors/actress, or movies with very cool graphics. I chose movies with distinct character. Movies that can’t be easily be categorized. Every time I see a very

Megg's Shirt

2008-05-04T18:00:00.000-07:00

My sister was bored and tinkered with one of the photo editing programs in my computer. I'm sure it was not photoshop. She doesn't know how to use photoshop but I'm sure if she learns how to use it she would definitely make good photo manipulations.She played with the color saturations of her pictures and this photo caught my attention. I said to her that it would make a cool shirt design. I got

Shoes with my Name on it

2008-04-29T05:14:00.000-07:00

Lately I have been lusting over shoes and can't seem to think of any art related topics to write about when I realized I could write about Melissa (not me but the shoe brand...by the way I am not narcissistic).Melissa took my lust over shoes to the next level (especially the read one on the photo). Melissa is not another fad in fashion. It is rather the combination of design, fashion, comfort

My new Best Friend: Google Reader

2008-04-25T05:52:00.000-07:00

I love blogging as well as reading blogs of other people. I have only scratched the surface of the blogging paradise. I was trying to follow many blogs but I am still confused using RSS feeds so I only relied on my blog links (I know which is pretty stupid). A friend of mine asked me if I used google reader."Google reader? What's that?" I asked.My friend was shocked because I didn't know. So

My love story with my Diana

2008-04-23T09:25:00.000-07:00

A friend of mine was the one who was really into buying a Diana camera. I was not really that interested since it uses 120 film and its hard to find here in Davao. At that time when he was in Manila there were no available supplies of Diana. So he just ordered and the supplier promised to ship him the camera once the product arrives. My friend Tisha who was working in Manila is going home to

LOMO and Me

2007-12-13T19:25:00.000-08:00

about LomographyThe intent of LOMOgraphy as a philosophy is to let go of all the burdens of traditional photography, and capture life as it is, as directly as possible. To translate freedom into pictures. To be free, wild, and young. To be spontaneous.Alfred KlompWhy I don't like LOMOgraphyIronic I found a very nice description of lomography from an
