The One Who Forgot

She was supposed to be forever. There were no tears when she left. Years later, you see her and she walks right past you.

We all have that one girl in our lives that we never forget. She stays for a minute, and sometimes she stays for a lifetime. The girl burns her memory into your heart, and you see her in everyone you meet. There is always that one girl.

This little project is a tribute to the girls in our lives.

This song is how I imagine my summer if translated into music. Sweet, surreal, and with a sprinkling of pleasant surprises.

Sure a chunk of it is full of unwanted (and highly unnecessary) stress, a big part of it has still been amazing. So many opportunities, so many possibilities, and this internship with Heima? How could I ever hate this summer! :)

OH. Haha, I just assumed I get these asks because I seem boring. You know, the type with nothing but school in mind. Heehee thank you for this <3

The Stranger

You saw her once. She hides in her sweater. Only one bare shoulder and her slender fingers give away what lies underneath. You don’t see her eyes, but you want to.

Five minutes later, she’s gone.

is it possible for one to take bs management - comtech and at the same time minor in information design in ateneo? *u* this is my dream course combo (chos) kasi and i'm a hs senior wee

Unfortunately there is no minor in Information Design. However, it is possible to double major. :) Just a warning, though, the new curriculum is pretty freakin’ packed.

I know this is the infamous choice, but why not take AB Interdisciplinary Studies? Then, you can take a track in Comm and a track in Information Design. I know the stereotype is that only people who flunked out or only athletes take AB IS, but I know a lot of amazing and crazy passionate people in that course. HATERS GON’ HATE! HAHA! But yes, I think you should be open to that option. :)

P.S. If it helps you decide, Comtech comes with a lot of management classes…and accounting classes if I’m not mistaken. That is all. AHAHAHA

The Cool Cat

She doesn’t smoke, but her hair smells of IT. You see her in bars, always surrounded by the cool kids. You don’t know her name, and you never will just because.

The One that was Always There

You met her when you were kids, and she never left your side. You know everything about each other. Only you know about that scar somewhere on her body. Every time she closes her eyes, she’s still the little girl you first met.

Here’s a sneak peek to The Girls, a little passion project of mine for what remains of this summer.

Thanks to a friend’s fangirling, I got pretty curious about this show she was watching (My Mad Fat Diary, in case you’re interested). I love how the lead character is such a music geek, and how she may be insecure about everything else but she is way confident in her musical taste. HAHA the music might be 70% of the reasons why I love the show!

This show is just so well-done! In the first episode, they show her talking to her framed photo of Damon Albarn. In the following episodes, you can hear Blur in the background of some significant moments like the first time she gets asked out, or after something tragic. It’s just so consistent, and the rest of the bands she listens to are pretty much the type a Blur fan would listen to.

This show is definitely something. <3

Been watching Adventure Time and taking lots of screenshots. Surprisingly, the show is actually a really good source for color palettes! Hehe the show&#8217;s not as brain draining as I thought it would be, eh?

A current work in progress. I guess maps are the in thing nowadays? Design trends are just so interesting to watch. Remember when rays in the background was the trend? Yeaaaaah that was a bad trend. HAHA! Maps, though, are definitely something else. It&#8217;s nice seeing people put their own style to something that can be considered mundane and boring. My only issue is that some maps may be really pretty, but aren&#8217;t that helpful.
I&#8217;m hoping that I make a map that is both beautiful and functional. Lord knows the research that went into this thing got my mind and my eyes going in circles. GOODNESS. But it&#8217;s all good. The challenge is quite welcome here. &lt;3
P.S. Is it just me or does Kapitolyo kind of look like an anatomically correct heart?
