  • Art: Notebook Designs! Part Un.

    For the past two weeks or so, I’ve taken to transforming plain Muji notebooks (five pieces at P215, 30 sheets each) into not-plain ones with a Sharpie pen, my trusty Staedler set, pencils and some other miscellaneous gel pens.  (Note) I love Muji. :) I especially like their packaging and the design of the store…

  • Awesomeness ongoing

    Or in-progress. OLYMPICS. Haven’t watched the opening, but I will. Judging by the tumblr/FB/9gag pictures, it was pretty brilliant. Hello to the Queen, Beatles and Voldemort. KNOWLEDGE. A stray comment in the Facebook group of my block got me reviewing my past geekery. Hello (again) to Sindarin Elvish. Will you welcome me back? Maybe this…

  • Movies: The Amazing Spider-Man

    It’s been a few weeks since I’ve watched Spidey on screen; it’s about time to post a review, since The Batman review”s following on my heels. Also: it’s Spider-Man, not Spiderman. 

  • Opinion: Hello Homily

    Let me rant about the church again. Sigh. The following words (bar the dictionary definition) make up a real-time commentary going inside my head and onto my phone. | Greenbelt Chapel, 28 July, 3 pm mass Homily n. a sermon or discourse on a moral or religious topic; a commentary that follows the reading of…

  • Whoops

    I accidentally became sick. Fever and coughs, baby.  Productivity to the benefit of myself is therefore a staggering zero. No pictures, because who’d like to see my shining red eyes. ?

  • College Life Part Something

    Well hello.  Today is a Tuesday. I suppose. Many things have happened, will happen and are happening (though the latter is a bit more questionable, logically, since anything else can’t be happening if I’m here typing away).  First to merit a mention is debate, which I am in a love-chase-hate-spurn relationship right now, if that makes…

  • Shows: Avatar: The Legend of Korra

    Shows: Avatar: The Legend of Korra

    Watching Avatar: Legend of Korra was never at the top of my list of priorities for many reasons: I had no time, no one in my immediate circle was honestly raving about its awesomeness (though now, at this point, I’ve discovered some fans lurking about), and most importantly I was afraid of being disappointed. In…

  • Productivity Level — Fluctuating

    If I had to describe my productivity level today (and for the last few days), I’d say it was –as the post title suggests– fluctuating. Irregular. Highly frustrating. Exhibit A: I’ve just woken up from taking a two-hour nap, and ahead of me looms the idea of washing  up (a necessity), eating dinner (also a…

  • Paint and Pens: Old VA and WIP

    I took the Visual Arts elective last school year. I am most proud of my imperfect painting, which was done as a final requirement for the painting part of the curriculum.  It’s an amateur reproduction (is that the correct term for it?) of Andre Derain’s The Thames and Tower Bridge. The original painting was a…
