Design Lessons You Can Apply to Your Life

Last February 1, Ponggo & I, together with my sister attended the Graphika Manila 2014 and each time, we always come home refreshed and inspired with all the new lessons that we’ve learned from designers.  Graphika Manila is a yearly design convention.  As much as it is a “conference on creativity” where design processes are

How to Travel on a Budget

When Ponggo & I travel, we always make sure that we get to stretch our budget.   We always try to get the most out of our experience by plotting as much landmarks on the list & making sure that expenses like airfare & lodging won’t take up so much space so that we get to

What Girls Get Giddy About on Valentine’s Day

Some people think girls are pretty tough to crack.  Do they like teddy bears? Do they like flowers? What kind of flowers? How many flowers??!?  I’m pretty sure some guys would even catch themselves thinking over and over (with matching beads of sweat running down their temples) out of sheer panic because they don’t know

Signs That You’re Addicted to Frozen

Ever since the Disney movie Frozen was shown in cinemas, you would probably have seen endless tweets and status updates asking about whether or not you wanted to build a snowman. Though I can’t say (yet) that I’m truly addicted to Frozen, I caught myself singing songs from the movie so many times.  *Can you

Reasons Why You Have a Tummy Ache

It’s probably not the most glamorous or lunch-friendly thing to admit but now & then, Ponggo & I get tummy aches.  For one, he has a very sensitive tummy that can only handle uber uber clean water and not too much oil.  He also looooves chili.  Too bad, his body is not a fan. On

Then and Now

I was cleaning my wallet the other day & I saw a picture of me when I was five years old.  “So young, radiant and full of dreams”, I thought.  Beside it was my driver’s license.  There was a photo of me there that looked like someone who is so tired of life.  It was

I Think I am Tired

When we’re out of the country, Ponggo’s the type who walks like a robot.  As it seems, he never gets tired especially when it’s around 10 degrees or lower.  He’d be sweet enough to go with me to art supply shops & bookstores. He’d take me to colorful furniture stores. However, when it’s his turn

Plan B

We were working on the Heima MT Casa x MT Spaces exhibit last year. During the last few nights before the exhibit, we figured we won’t be to finish it on time so we called for reinforcements.  Our tiny washi house still had no roof.  Finally, I had the idea of cutting circles from craft

Help Me

I’ve been trying to curtail my consumption of chocolates for days now. It wasn’t that easy. I would find myself still desperately searching for chocolates.  I just realized how much my body depended on it for an energy boost & umm…happiness! 🙂 Trying to be healthier (and I don’t know how long this will last),

Work and Inspiration

Yesterday, I was trying to finish a project.  I was really excited to work on it but I initially thought that it would take me one whoooooole day or even two days to complete a template.  To my surprise, it took me only 3 hours all in all!  Well, actually, it took me 5.5 hours
