I met dad’s best friend since 3rd year High School last Saturday when we had a party here at home. He is a director of The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. his job is really awesome, and big time. He was a graduate of BS Architecture in Mapua Institute of Technology, Dad and him were classmates even in College. He never got to practice Architecture after he graduated.

I am a frustrated digital artist. I can say i have the skills, though not brilliantly good, when it comes to art since love for art is in our blood. Though no one really chose Art to put into a career except for those who took up Architecture, including myself. Digital Arts is one of the fields I want to gain mastery in, ever since. My knowledge about it is not even a spoonful. All i know now is just self-taught and it’s sad that i don’t get to practice that much. Tiwala lang sa sarili, lahat nadadaan sa practice.

Dad knew about the career i wanted to take right before I took up entrance exams in college. Architecture was a second choice for me but he unintentionally brainwashed me. If not Architecture, I would have taken Multimedia Arts. Right now, I just wanna know why he refused to send me to an Art School. 

I like Architecture, and I’m glad I’m taking it. I’m excited to graduate and see what I’ll become in the future.Two years more! May God’s will be done. 

PS, im working on that overweight cheeks i have there.

So it is so great that I am here for summer. Super because I’ve been reading a lot of tweets from the guys I follow from my homeland, The Philippines, that it’s insanely hot there. I can’t believe that everyday the temperature is always close to 34°C. Man, that’s too hot!

Anyway, it was my first time to experience snow. And it would be very unusual to snow in April but thank God it did. :) Should I be thankful or worried about global warming? It’s spring and it snowed, hmm. So the moment Dad learned that it was safe to go to the mountains for snow, he brought us there. I believe it doesn’t snow in LA. But if you want to experience snow, it’s just 2-3 hrs drive away if you’re coming from the city.

I really enjoyed playing with it. Maybe because it was my first time but I missed my friends every time I threw some snow balls to my sister. LOL. Snow is like the ice on the walls of a freezer. It tastes like water and is so fun to play.

Hope everyone is having a nice time this summer! I am missing everyone back there and hope you guys miss me too! :))

Take Care!

I’ve been very busy over the past weeks. But sufferings ended last Wednesday, so I was thankful. I wasn’t able to update last because for 5 days, we didn’t have dial tone, and internet. But I didn’t get bored though, I went out just to feel that school was over!

But my happiness didn’t last long.

I allotted 5 days to enjoy my little summer vacation and now I’m officially back to school mode. Our college gives us more than a week to review our lectures from freshman year up to present for the upcoming  Architecture Undergraduate Students’ Assessment Test (AUSAT) that is happening on Friday from 8am-5pm.

Subjects that are included are

• Professional Practice
• Building Utilities 1-4
• History of Architecture 1-4,
• Building Technology 1-3
• Theories of Architecture 1 & 2
• Design 1-6
• Strength of Materials 

Now that’s what you call hell. I should not fail my tests, or else.. I’ll be staying in school for another year. :( No delays, please.

I’m currently taking a break from my review. Here’s a photo of my desk:
