And my future employers should know I only use the latest, most sophisticated layout programs available :))
I haven’t slept in a little short of 2 days but I still can’t quite make myself to, what with all the sugar I ate (I’m rabid as five obnoxious seven year olds) so I thought of making a portfolio for some of my business-related projects. MS Powerpoint is amaze. Remove background whoooo! Haha. I kid. I kid.
What is art? We use the term loosely around here because we have a simple idea of what it should be. Art is subjective. What’s art for me may not be art for you. But who are we to define what’s beautiful and meaningful to one person?
Our theme for this month is Art just like all our April issues. But this time we’re including more feature articles compared to our previous April issues. One of which is our conversation with Dia Frampton, another The Voice alumna, during her visit to Manila. We also have photo diaries from New York (taken by Cru Camara, one of our photographers who is currently studying in our dream school) and Stars Live in Manila. Justin Timberlake’s comeback is also one of the biggest headlines this year and you know we did not hesitate writing a story about it.
Ecks Abitona, our fashion editor, also covered one of the many exhibits that happened in the past few months, Art Fair Philippines for this issue. A lot of magnificent contemporary artwork adorned the walls of The Link but nothing was quite like “Then It Happened”, a series of photo-realistic paintings by none other than our cover boy, Luis Santos. His skills and vision as an artist is incredible. Find out more about his story on page 70.
We are still ironing out a few kinks from our rebranding and our new website so please let us know what you think by emailing us. The whole process involves a lot of decision-making so we need your help and you can do so by answering this survey. Who knows, we might be seeing you in your favorite bookstores someday.
Best,

I hope they let me stick around a bit. haha. yay!

Mementos from when I had been away. I’m really beginning to appreciate holidays to a whole new degree now. For the past month this little learning company we’re supposed to run all throughout term has been keeping me on my toes. Our first week has been grueling but kind.
I’ve never had cramps this bad since training season back in High School. Not to mention the migraines I’ve been having lately. I’ve never had these this frequently before. But I’m so glad about the happy reception from our school and the online community of friends and acquaintances. We’re selling something we call funcakes. They’re like a cross between an obanyaki or korean cake (but actually our recipe’s derived from a local Maranao delicacy, bruâ) and a donut. And we zapped them into something you can pop in your mouth.
This could be just some mad fad, but I’m thankful for it nonetheless.
So how have you been? I’ve noticed a handful of followers since the last time I logged in. Hello! What did I ever do to deserve you?

Palakasan 2012 Opening Montage
About a month ago, on a whim, I asked to apprentice for my school’s multimedia team for our annual Intramural. I was quite impressed with last year’s production that I thought I wanted to be a part of this year’s. Also, I had a few guy friends already in so it was easy as mentioning it over and over until they finally offer to let me tag along. haha
I’m just a tiny part of this video but I’m pretty happy about how it came out. This had been a six day production from inception to screening so it meant walking the streets at 10pm after class and a quick bath to spend the night at another home with crazy talented people til my class the next day:
Here’s the team on 7AM’s. I might say we got along quickly and very nicely.
Tiny bit of advice for low to mid-income kids who want to study art but can’t afford art school: kid, there are a million other places to learn and all you have to do is ask. It takes a bit of effort, but what is a little effort compared to dough you don’t have. HA!

The millionth edit. If I get married I’ll just write my invitations on a piece of paper and have someone photocopy it and stick it inside some generic envelope. Or send text messages and emails in Arial 11.
It’s kind of sad when some of your work get scrapped out because they’re hard to execute with materials available or other resources or the shyness of the people you work for. It’s specially sad if there are just a particular handful of people they have to please and you have to change a whole lot of the design.
I really like white on kraft paper. And the jar of fireflies I drew. And quite a lot of other things I drew specially for the project. And the witty copy. And the knotting piece of twine when you open the invitation and the—
Naww.

I’ve been racking my brain the whole afternoon for a shirt design my classmate appointed me to do for the college’s Entrepreneurial Marketing org.
Teachers and students from our college are into schmaltzy statement shirts and I usually come up with just cocky copies, so I tried going entirely out of my way, being generously schmaltzy with the Make A Difference acronym.
This, sadly, after rephrasing a million times today was the best copy I could think of before deciding to give up.
Clearly I made cocky shine through well enough. The M.A.D part’s barely noticeable.
Ahh I give up. But please give me tips to make it at least better. Help me come up with a new copy maybe? HELP.
Childhood curiosity and impatience sometimes lead to happy discoveries. The guilty pleasure of eating cookie dough!

The Same-Day-Edit video we made last Saturday. Yay. I was just a tiny part of this video but I had such a good time just ogling over the camera cranes and sliders and gliders and the L-lenses.

Sketches and revisions. I still insist on having the loop the way I originally made it but they sketched out adjustments so it would be easier for them to make a big backdrop using the monogram. They were saying something about using some sort of metal then something something something that I didn’t quite catch.
I have the attention span of a four year old but I think I’m efficient enough. Hire me. I want to watch Smashing Pumpkinssssss.
I saw a most curious thing at work this morning.
Working on this poster before I get on with my market analysis papers. Long night, long night.
Ha! I’m missing a comma up there.
Hey look, it’s us!
Currently: the frantic mess that is my desktop. And brain. Tabulating survey results for my study has been nauseating as yuck and my little doodle breaks and hot chocolate refills (mmm cinnamon) are not being much help.
