Happy New Year all!
One of the items on my 101 list is the 26 Things photo scavenger project. There is a list of 26 words and you take a photo for each word, and that’s it. Pretty simple. =) The newest one is going on this January ‘09. And I’ve already started. Another one [...]

This is one photo for the 26 Alphabets photo challenge of which I have yet to make a page for. Taken from one of the pages of a Haruki Murakami collection of short stories.
Letter “T” for.. can you guess?

Since we don’t have street names yet, as this village is new, it gets interesting how people tell visitors to get to our house. Ours is usually described as (at night) “the house at the end, the gold one with all the lights.” I guess our orangey walls and warm lights make it look golden. [...]

Here come some photos from Subic. Didn’t know there could be so much to do and see there. (By the way, I have on a new theme, yay!) Not everyone on the family got to do what they wanted as there was just too little time and too much to do.

A towel sculpture XD

On [...]

The most recent ones from my thousands of sky pictures. I’ve always admired how pretty the sky can be sometimes. I hardly hesitate to bring out my cam for a quick photo. Here’s a small dose of Manila nightscapes, sunsets, sunrises, city skylines etc.

Early one day.. Smog or fog? Most likely the former, no?

The SLEX [...]

Almost everyday of the past three weeks in my new school, has been so exciting and gratifying. I am learning so much stuff I need and equally love learning. And it’s even more thrilling when I get to apply them. It’s so refreshing to have no more mind-numbing English, Maths or freaking Bible Study classes [...]

Old uniforms, old shirts, old gowns and costumes.. A catalogue of childhood fashion faux pas. What to do with them?

I like to just keep them. It’s fun to open suitcases full of old clothes.. they all remind me a bit of something in the past. One of my dreams was to show my future children [...]

Capturing random but meaningful photos from inside a moving car must be an art.
First, it takes some getting used to to realise there’s something worth taking a picture of. I once saw a funny sign while driving down a road I most likely will not pass through any time soon. I took pains in [...]

(If you haven’t had a meal yet, I apologise for this..)
What happens when I get a new set of cooking utensils? Why, this, of course. Plus some happy family members. =)

The culprits who started it all.
 

My attempt at French Crullers.

I couldn’t resist.. Lol.

With the icing. These tasted like doughnuts.

Sugarfalls.

It deserves [...]

The most recent challenge for Project Designer is to design an outfit that can be worn to P. Diddy’s annual white party. It must all be white, including the accessories and must be inspired by our model’s nationality. I got Willemina and since she’s of English descent, I got inspiration from the boned corsets of [...]

I played around with my sister after she downed one of my cupcakes in record time. This is one of them:

That’s my sister, Nikki.. or her mouth, to be specific. Photography and styling and everything else by me.. lol.

Friday night: Nikki’s birthday celeb.
Saturday, whole day: with hun.
All I can say is, it turns me off when someone takes my niceness for granted. I’m the least naive person you’ll know. And I’m not talking about Saturday at all. I don’t care to elaborate.. Go figure.
Anyway

Pictures here: Click.
It was nice to see [...]

I managed to fit most of my stuff in 4 suitcases. Most. I left some clothes, artwork, books and other things I forget. I’ve been here for 5 days now, almost a week.
The flight back held a surprise. I was expecting and bracing myself for the inevitable rumbling, jittery landing I was so used to [...]

If you have ever played The Sims before, you might recognise the last word in the title of this post as one of the utterances the Sims say in the game’s language called Simlish. I didn’t know it was called that before tonight, though. I was browsing through DeviantArt and saw someone say “I still [...]

..is how I feel. Which is good… very good.
This is the still life watercolour plate I made in Freehand class last Thursday. Watercolour is very annoying.. Lol. It requires a lot of patience (and tissue) and you have to keep in mind that you must preserve the translucency of the watercolours. Some people just lather [...]

I had a burst of inspiration this afternoon and started making sketch after sketch.. This is a little teaser. I still have to colour everything. How is this one?

Keywords: fashion sketches, illustration, fashion croquis

… or so I thought. Last Thursday night, my boyfriend and I sort of broke up.. online. The next day, just before going to my classes, he told me to wait for him, that he has just finished packing and is on his way to the airport. I wasn’t sure what will happen when he [...]

I drew the bunny on the left and Bruce made that scary mutant bunny to the right. Lol. He printed it out and I think it’s hilarious that if you press Print on Doodle, it prints the picture out with a frame and everything. I just had to see it so he took a photo [...]

Those are the colours I’ll be using for the window display project for Design class tomorrow. My product is going to be (surprise, surprise) clothes. It’s going to look like a lady’s room.. sort of. With clothes in cream, pink, brown and silver hanging on clothes’ hangers, miniature shoes, a little pink armchair and one [...]

Lol. What an inane title.. but there you go. These are headshots of models Abbie Almasco and Erika Tanaka that I’ve practiced different makeup looks on. They are both already beautiful to begin with, though.. =D
Yes the makeup is not real- it’s digital.

I was experimenting on putting on makeup on pictures. I used a macro shot of my eye for this. Also I made subtle changes on the pupil’s colours.. see if you notice =)
Yes the makeup is purely digital.

Which one do you like best? =)

Ooh. I was feeling artsy craftsy and so for the Christmas Charity drive our school had, I decided to make a pillow in the shape of a flower.
I bought this nice cotton fabric with a vine-y flower-y print on it. The shop already had some fibre stuffings and I just got some from there.
I first [...]

Spent the weekend at the farm.. well, “farm.” Made some drawings and sketches. Had very simple fresh food of fish veggies and maize rice. All from the farm. Fish from the sea, the corn grown there etc. Pretty sunset. It looked like glowering embers of coals. Played Jamaican Discsta. Lol. It’s this game I downloaded [...]

Parents and my sister came over for the week. So most of the last week night’s I’ve been sleeping over at the hotel. It was a really nice place.. It sort of sticks out like a sore thumb, though. I mean, when we go there, we pass by nothing nice at all. Everything we see [...]

I feel like I spent most of today in a line.
First I was at our class Bible Enthronement this morning at the Main Campus. There was a line for going in, for the Communion and the Bible blessing.
Then I went to see Repertory Philippines’ and Little Boy Production’s musical called, “I Love You, You’re Perfect, [...]
