birthday + holiday = double treat

Happy Birthday TAL!

It's my sister's bday today but we decided to celebrate it yesterday since it's a non-working holiday and we can stay up pretty late and partei! So after Mass, we ate at Burgoo. I asked the waitresses to sing a special bday song for her. She was surprised (I guess, though she admitted seeing me talk to the waitresses and gave her a feeling of what was going to happen). Anyway, I just wanted to make this bday special for her. Today, we're just gonna be lazy and get a good rest to pump up the energy this week. More birthdays in our family coming up!!! will update soon. Meantime...

Happy burpday! :)

bagYO!

Ilang araw nang umuulan at ilang araw narin akong pumapasok ng opisinang naka tsinelas lamang. tsktsk, lusong baha, lusong! Ang hirap pa nito ay madaling bumaha sa daanan papuntang opisina kaya itong mga panahong ito, napapa long-cut pako pa-Ayala kaysa sa Magallanes na mas mabilis kung tutuusin. Bagamat mahirap, masaya na rin dahil tapos na ang tagtuyot at may mga palay na din maa-ani. Sa wakas, di na gagastos ang gobyerno sa cloud seeding na hindi naman lubusang nakakatulong sa tinding init ng panahon. Ibig sabihin ba nito at tuloy-tuloy na ang pag-ulan hanggang sa susunod na mga linggo? Bahala na. Extra ingat na lang sa lahat. Buti na lang ay pwedeng kahit anong damit sa opis basta katanggap tanggap naman pati na sa mga kliyente. Sa bagay, mas masaya ang umuulan. Mas masarap magtrabaho kahit madalas ay iniimagine mo ang iyong kama, comforter at champorado sabayan pa ng DVD marathon. :) Ayos!

Kahapon ay "na-suspend" ang operasyon sa ahensya. O, diba parang skwelahan? :) Bihira yung mangyari, kundi lang sa brown out at baha na aming inabot. Para naman namnamin ang suspension ay nag Glorietta kami pampasaya. Imbis na umuwi ay nag-mall muna. hahahaha :) Bihira na rin kasi kami maka pag-mall sa trabaho. Pero ang GCT ay nagliwaliw sandali at nagpakasaya! Nauna na umuwi si Maruh at Misiaoh kaya kami nalang nila Hana at Cheyenne ang nagtagal.

Ngayon sabado, itutuloy ko na ang "DVD-kama-comforter-champorado" fantasy ko at lulubus-lubusin ko hanggang Lunes dahil special non-working holiday din sa araw na yun. Saya saya! :)

At sa wakas, mas makakapag blog na ulit ako. Sa ganitong panahon, namimiss ko sila:

Masyado na tayong busy, pano na? :)

graPIC-ah!

ok, so this is another late post...but oh well, i still feel like posting it since this is my first seminar/convention with my fellow gct's! (girly creative team of hq)

let me digress by saying that yup, we are an all-girls creative team! :) and it's always crazy when we're together. anyway....

We attended Graphika Manila last Saturday at Mall of Asia (this entry is late, i know. hehe) It's an annual gathering of graphic artists (or students learning the field) where they can learn a thing or two from the pros! On its second year, its roster of speakers included Steve Tirona, Guadakomeda, and design companies such as Asylum, WeWorkForThem, Electrolychee, and the amazing motion graphics studio, HueLab. It was more of a show and tell of their portfolio rather than a lecture series which most of us expected being neophytes in the field and all. Honestly, I thought I was gonna bore myself and doze off as soon as it begun. But much to my surprise, I was entertained especially when HueLab presented their portfolio. Can I just say that they're awesome! hahaha :) serious! anyway, each of them was impressive that's why the event actually lived up to its goal which is simply to inspire young artists to love this field so the Philppines can also enjoy the exciting world of graphics that other Asian countries have developed ages ago. (Philippines=being left behind again) All of us know how to solve this: SUPPORT ARTISTS! that's it! :) hehehe. I went out of my comfort zone again and gave designing a chance. though i know i can never be good at it. At least the experience was fantabulous! also, it was free...which makes it all the more whoopidoo! ( thanks HQ) :)

GCT CRAZY @ GRAPHIKA

Misiaoh, Hanna, me and Anna (though not a gct, she's just as crazy! hehehe)

Being a copywriter, I never really knew what it takes to be a graphic artist. My GCT is amazzzzing, hands down! Now, I'm more willing to learn their ways... :)
