Curious Incident

I finally finished The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon. I know it's a relatively thin book and it's not hard to read (unlike The Hobbit or Death Kit by Susan Sontag) but I never really got into it. I always thought it was sweet and smart to write as an autistic boy and the story was just as amusing but, well, I never got into it. Until yesterday! I recommend this read. Everything is sweet and smart, red cars and A-math level calculations all in all. :)

I'm now re-reading Harry Potter and the Half-Bloood Prince by JK Rowling as a 'refresher' course for the 7th book.

By the way, they've released the new covers and they're lovely. I. CAN'T. WAIT.

Birthday plans

I don't have birthday plans yet. I'll probably just fix up some food and invite friends and classmates over. Nothing fancy :) Maybe I can also have that cook-day on the same day :D

Today was so much fun. I bought a ridiculous Penshoppe cap with a pink pom-pom on top. WTF. Pictures tomorrow, I swear. Read more about my fasyon-days!

What I *plan* on doing this summer:
. Sewing/dressmaking courses in a cheap technical school
. Animation projects (Body Language: LQ Manual)
. Bag-making (I'll be finishing my first bag by tomorrow. I'll be moving on to clutch purses next!)
. Sending out internship CV's like crazy to agencies. Because my professor told me to :D
. Shop. Shop and shopalot.
. Get involved in the garage sale! Sell half of my stuff (that doesn't fit!) so I can get twice as much not-so-new-stuff! (Ukay!!)
. Cook with friends
. Hang with friends
. THESIS RESEARCH
. Photoshoot like whaaaaaaat.
. Write a couple of articles for my mum so I can ear a bit of dough :3 (God help me.)
. Paint
. Sleep and rest

Whew!

###

People are already asking me what I want for my birthday, and so here are my answers:
. A digital camera. (I'm dead serious about this one since I kinda need it for thesis next year and I feel kinda out of place without one. :/ I wanna take pictures tooo!!)

. A Mac (this can be treated as a joke :D)

. A shopping trip and a shopping buddy (whoever is getting me this should accompany me to the shopping destination of my choice. Help me pick out clothes, talk, discuss, eat, bash, love, pictures, memories, adventure! Don't worry, I won't take you to Greenbelt 4 or 6750 but if you insist ba! hahahaha)

. Extra moneys xD xD

. Fashion books!!

Basically, that's what I've come up so far. For the shopping trip thing, it doesn't matter if it's a complete outfit or even a kira-kira ketai strap, what matters is I get to tour you around these places I love because of it's people, food, finds and quirks.

Summmerrrr

Summer's here! Summer's here! :D I can't say much about that except I have possible things lined up that would keep me busy. From thesis research to photoshoot/photobook projects and animation collaborations, my Summer would be hectic but it would be great because I'd be able move in my own terms.

I celebrated Summer as soon as our Professional Ethics teacher released told us that we could leave after the test. Petter and I went to his friend Joel's place so we could watch 300 again. The graphics and visuals never cease to amaze me. The filter and quality (I can pretty much replicate in photoshop) is spectularzz. Gerard Butler is still sexy. Ah yes, I love 600 (300 x the number of times you've seen it :D).

Much like our original plan of eating Persian food after the movie, the three of us headed to a different Persian restaurant, Bherouz so we could try their stuff out. We were dissapointed. The menu was limited but they still hold the title of "Best Ox Brain" (you must try it, it's squite good with rice or with pita bread!). We were so dissapointed in everything (except the ox brain) that we headed to Mister Kabab to have another meal! Hardcoooorrreeeee. Lulz. We ordered the usual Special Celo Kabab and Yogurt shake. Le Yum :9 Then we drove to the nearby McDonalds to have milkshakes. 8D PIGG OUTT!!

###

The following morning (sunday), we had lunch at home with le familia and once again I pigged-out. After that, we went to Bonifacio High Street to have Krispy Kreme, because in the Philippines-- at least with my family-- Krispy Kreme is a family affair. :D After that, I shopped. Luwlz. Read more about it here.

Up and Down

Did you know it's a bitch trying to animate someone going up a flight of stairs (regular perspective, mind)? It is!

I want to re-do this thing because I want to redesign it. But submission is tomorrow and a grade of INC (which is kind of acceptable) is a no-no because my professor might leave next year. OHNOWHATDOIDONOW???

I only have around 5 seconds and I have to do a minute. Shet.

I love my poster though. I love photo references. They save academic lives.

Oh I wish I could write

I was never much of a writer but I did write a story or two (personal stories. Essays and other required shizats are not counted). There are moments where I believe I was a god with words. I expressed love and angst with so much power some of my dear anonymous readers (I used to post avidly in ff.net) would gush and scream MORE!. But most of the time, I spew crap much like this.

Oh I wish I was blessed with the gift to transform words into brain pictures.

Maybe I should start writing again. Fiction. About love and heartache and kisses inside dingy bars. Because I'm still a teenager and I would like to write about how dramatic my pseudo-life would be. Or maybe I should just write.

I always feel the need to be wonderful at something. Especially writing and the arts since I'm in art school and my mum is an excellent writer.

I should also start writing in complete sentences and with proper grammar.

Le hay.

yes yes, I get it. I'm boring.

Workaholic?

Khan tells me I'm a workaholic. Is this true?

I got this from jenvg@LJ

Jenna Genio is my girl-crush. I got this from her blog:

So, say you were meeting a new person--blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to look at/read/listen to/taste/whatever. What would you put in the box? And a copy of your journal or a link to your LJ would be the same thing as just telling them directly, yourself, so that's not allowed.


1) Black opaque tights

2) red and silver-lined flats

3) gray and white stripe shirt and my boyfriend jean

4) Preview magazine collection

5) a playlist that includes: Fat Boy Slim, Nine Inch Nails, Utada Hikaru, Gackt, Portishead, B52's, Eraserheads and "I will follow you into the dark" by deathcab for cutie.

6) rings and my understated borloloy: rosary ring and my plastic rings

7) my fashion and costume design sketchpad

8) a list of blogs I go to: Chuvaness, Style Bubble, Perez Hilton and The Superficial.

9) Sin City (everything) and my precious Kingdom Come by Alex Ross

10) a copy of The Cheese Monkeys by Chipp Kidd and June and Juliet by William Gough

11) my stickered Mookie (mp3 player) and studded Billy (mobile)

12) My "Havanas" and a picture of morayta and the morayta overpass.

13) that famous kitchen knife

I'm not sure if it describes me, but I want him/her/it to see those things. I don't know :\ now, to buy some cake! :D

2nd

Whoa. What? We're going to present on the second day (competition day) so we have a week to fix our shitty paper and get our act together. YES!

I'm planning on fixing the ads Monday evening together with our adprod project. It's going to be quick naman eh.

Petter and I saw 300 the other day. Holy shit, I wanna watch it again. Though there is something lacking about it, I can still honestly it's brilliant. I love the end credits. :D :D

Work work work. SO much work, so little time.

I'm glad I have a little David Sedaris to keep me company. Naked (by David Sedaris) promises good laughs.

Ta~ Off to buy some cake

300

It was a heartbreaking morning. I don't want to talk about it because you might think I'm overreacting but I'm not. Le sigh. So I turn to Gustav and the sexy 300 trailer to chase the blues (and stress) away -- even if it's temporary :)

Tadpole feet

I'm cramming my adprac media plan assignment which isn't very smart, but at least the time pressure makes me think better. If my environment is lax, my brain is lax. I have bad work ethics. Boooo.

###

Advan shoes are awesome. Sure, your feet resemble tadpoles when you wear a pair, but they're awweeesooome. In a sea of Nikes, Adidas and Chucks, you standout with your tadpole feet. Tadfeet. And they're dirt cheap too. I believe a pair of lace ups are 150 pesos and the Vans-type are 200 or something? Basta, they're cheap. I'll buy a pair someday and paint on them.

So it's sad when this personal pinoy pop-icon (it reminds me of PE days in STC --ew--) doesn't even have information available on the web. Another advan shoe pops up and it's from Japan. I want my canvas tadfeet shoes!

###

I saw the trailer for 300 today. Oh gosh, I almost wet myself. I plan on breaking doors and other forms of public property after watching it next week :3 We also plan on eating in Mister Kabab after because it's Persian food. If we see the owner of the said establishment, we'll restrain ourselves from kicking him in the guts and into the vat of white garlic sauce. :D :D

Soooo excited!

I'm doing my media plan now to JT's FutureSex.LoveSounds and I can't think!! D: D;
