Our house was filled with tons of flowers in various colors and forms. They were all really pretty. Though they didnt really emit scent(though I wish they did), they were still visually appealing, and I wanted to share them to you as well! :D

It was the day before Mother’s day, and my parent’s 25th Wedding Anniversary was coming up as well(which is today), so my mom bought tons of flowers from Dangwa. The flowers were used in their Mass Wedding thing, instead of having a feast, my parents opted to share the blessing, and the sacrament of marriage to  the less fortunate who couldnt afford having a wedding. :)
 

(Top) These flowers are called Paper Roses. No they are not fake and is not made out paper, theyre real. and they cost a hefty price. :))

And there were various sorts of berries too. :))

 

And Cacti too. They are, cacti right?? lolol. :))

 

(Top) I love this cactus, I actually asked some from my mom for my condo when we move in. lol. I want some breathing greens in there! :))

I’m starting to get obsessed with antlers recently, I find them classy, quirky, edgy, and earthy, specially these antlers from Milwaukee-based artist, Cassandra Smith.

Oh I wish we had an abundance of deer antlers here in the Philippines, and maybe just get some randomly in a road, since Deers shed their antlers after every mating season. lol

I just love them!! I wont mind having one of these hanged on my wall! and the colors are amazing!! will surely use this as a peg/moodboard for something someday. :))

My ARCHINT(Architectural Interiors) Finals Plate.
We were tasked to make a cafe out of our classroom(Rm. 702, at the SDA Campus) and this is what I came out with. :)

My concept is Binaries; the two polar ends of things, that creates versatile spaces of openness and seclusion. 

Used Google Sketchup for the 3D modelling, and vray for the rendering.

took me around, a whole day to make this.lol. :))

OK. So now I’ve recieved my grades! though my grades were pretty much bipolar( got the deadly unos and the great three-point-fives(grading system in ours is, the higher the number, the higher the grade is), and nothing exactly in between, not a single grade of any line-of-twos.

I would like to thank the people who have helped throughout this term, specially those that helped me go through this very stressful;emotionally, physically, mentally, term. Sorry if this may sound so pageant-y but I’d really like to thank those people.

First of all, I’d like to thank God, for blessing me with these wonderful people, and for being my stronghold, for always being here when I’m unstable, and for blessing me with these talents that I have.

I’d like to thank my family, my parents and sisters, for supporting me all the way, and for aiding me emotionally and financially, for giving me their extra time and attention, and for understanding me in those times I’d rather be alone, and when I’d be irritable at home while working. Thank you.

I’d like to thank my friends from UST, Jian, Josh, Asmin, Kenneth, Topi, for helping me in a every way, for giving me their time, for helping me complete my requirements, and lending me their hands, skills, and knowledge. Though I’m in a different school now, and being a potential competition, we still look past each other’s status and see each other as friends whom you love. I’ll also thank  Philip, Erwin, 1-1, and all those other friends from UST who I make kulit asking favors, to this and to that, and also to Karl who is FUCKING INJURED THATS WHY HE COULDNT FUCKING HELP. Kidding, thanks for being there when I’m emotionally unstable. at least, may natulong ka KASI YOURE FUCKING INJURED. Thank you guys.

I’d like to thank my ARCDES3 batchmates, who not only share the stress, but also for sharing the same experiences. Thank you to  everyone who has helped me, though I wouldnt be able to name you all, you know who you are! And to those who’ve helped in times i needed them most, Raf and Anjela, for stressing you guys a bit, helping me do my models, as well as to my DAR1.4(? or .3 idk.lol) friends, Felichi, Joy, Hannah, Miko, Mary, Anton for cheering me up and supporting me emotionally, for also helping me do my models the night-morning before my final defense, sorry if medyo naging super bossy ako. hehe. and to the frosh as well for showing their concern and support! And to Renzi though di tayo close, for giving us a ride to SDA on the day of my defense. Thank you.

I’d  also like to thank my A3DAR4 colleagues, Blanche, Astrid, Ariel, James, Lei, Merbert, Elmer, Jiro, Tobi, Kim, and Franz, who share the same sentiments, rants,  tears, jokes, and laughter.  For experiencing all-nighters, for the effort, for spending time together, for pushing one another, for praising each other, for helping one another, for sharing each other’s skills and talents, and for being here for each other, Thank you! 

I’d like to thank Sir Jimmy, for pushing me to my limit, though I wasnt really able to perform well even to my own expectations, it made me realize my own faults, my and my own flaws. For taking us a step further, and for letting me  understand, that we must be kept rooted. For passionately stressing us out to the point of tears and rants, though I do not regret anything, for it helped me discover the wisdom in things, which made me wiser throughout this one of a kind experience. And for still giving me above my expected grade! Thank you sir.

I’d like to thank my other professors, for understanding, for being patient, for giving us tons of opportunities,  and for giving us grades that are well deserved with given considerations, even if we’ve been compromising their subjects, to focus on other things. Thank you sir/ma’am.

Another term has ended, and another is brewing up soon, I hope that we all learn from this past term, and that with all my heart, with the greatest, deepest gratitude that I could give, though it wouldnt suffice with what I really feel, THANK YOU ALL!! <3 AND MAY WE ALL HAVE A GREAT SUMMER AHEAD OF US! Love lots! :)

FINALLY!!! FINALS is over!!!!! I can now get as much sleep as I want(though it’s almost 2am, and I’m, still awake) Excuse me for my inappropriate blog title, I couldnt think of anything, and I feel so sabaw right now. :))
Anyway, so I spent my first vacation night watching National Geographic stuff in youtube, like centipedes and icky stuff-idk why I’m watching, like maggots inside your head and shit(okay enough of that) :|

Soooooooo.. this 1-month summer break, the longest so far, compared to our 2 week summer breaks before(including adjustment period, course card giving, and enrollment) I plan to be very productive and not spend time just bumming around!
since I’m moving to taft this May, I’ve been planning a lot of DIY stuff to do for my new space! Though they said you cant paint the walls and drill on the walls/ceiling, well FOCK THEM. I’ll do what I want. :P not that they’ll check my unit from time to time. :))

Another is to finish my ARCDES03(Architectural Design 03) scaled models and booklets, though the term ended, I really want to complete my final deliverables for portfolio and exhibit purposes.

OH! And I must FORCE ask my parents to buy me an A3 printer, or if any of you have one, then please gimme or sell it to me(if that is, in good condition and not a “moody” printer)!! :))
And since I’ll be in ARCDES04(Architectural Design 04) already, I must learn new programs like Rhino, and Archicad, and other 3D modelling software, and I also want to learn “hardcore” stuff like tinsmith-ing, working with metals and the like. :P

and I might just give my blog a makeover, MAYBE. not sure though. just maybe. :))

 So here’s to a productive and creative summer!!! I’ll post every progress I make!! and sorry for the looooooooong break my blog has been. :))
I’ll post every week! I pwamis! ;) 

AND I leave you guys with this photo of me and my ARCDEATH03 classmates!! we finally made it after days of zero sleep!! :”>

 

So, I had this shoot for my AESTHETA(Aesthetics class, also called Humanities in other schools) and our topic was on photography within the aesthetic principles of St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, which delved more into proportion, or being complete in order to achieve beauty.

We were tasked to take a photo of our meditative side, in a black in white photo within these principles, and as seen from my previous post of my peg, and the teaser image as well, I wanted something ethereal, soft, and light. So I came up with this! If you have noticed, the background photo from my teaser image is different from this, well, because I edited it in order for it to look like a studio shot. lolol.

So here’s the story part, I was done shooting, which obviously, I did alone, and yes, I am that forever alone.lol. had my camera in self timer, 10 continuous shots at one go, took me around 200+ photos to get this shot. :))

I made this photo my desktop wallpaper, and my mother saw it, and asked when I did it, how I did it, typical mother questions, and she was amazed, and showed it to my dad and my sisters. and they wanted the same kind of photo, which was super on the spot, since what we needed was pretty much the cloth, which I used in a another shoot before as well, and didnt really need to do hair makeup, styling, it was easy to do.

And so these came up. lol. I havent edited my dad’s photo yet. lol. sorry dad. :)) 

teaser of the shoot I did earlier. lolol.

it’s amazing how simple things turn be so surreal

peg for my aestheta shoot. lol
