Inspiring <3

Making a video like this for a client. So far, I am enjoying it. It looks simple, but don’t be deceived. He made it for 3 days. I had to make a storyboard for this one. Took me a day to finish half of the storyboard’s elements.

helloyoucreatives:

Creative Brains for sale.

For the first time ever, brains are being auctioned on eBay by young advertising creatives, William Bernhardt and Matthew Mifsud, in an attempt to attract interest from Creative Directors and subsequent job offers.

The advertising industry is more fierce than ever so this young creative team, which recently left top ad agency VCCP, is pulling out all the stops to cut through their competition and at 10am on Friday the 24th February their ideas will be auctioned on the online retailer.

You can find out more and bid on their brains at www.brainsunltd.org

Artwork made by Pat, my boyfriend. Cutest and kind of an uncommon thing to do on Valentine’s. Lucky for us, we’re both designers. :3 Will return the favor on Saturday. I just have a lot of projects to finish; I am not complaining because these are blessings. :)

Smiling still. I love this guy!

Planner Hunt

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:01:00 +0800

I was supposed to buy one of these really artsy planners for 2012:

The Filed Planner known as the doodle planner, but they never did replenish stocks at Fully Booked and Powerbooks branches. Currently, I think they sell it online - www.filed.com.ph for P545.00

What I like about Filed is that they have extra pages for your lifestyle, uhh.. lists? needs? must-sees?

The other planner that I really like is the Slate Planner

More fit for a designer because of its colorful page layouts and simple maroon cover. - P549.00 at any Fully Booked or Powerbooks branches.

But then I realized that I might need the money for something else (like books or food) so I settled for the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf Giving Journal since we are always at Coffee Bean. (Yes, I prefer CBTL because I am a swirl card holder, so more reward points for me). Besides, I still have my moleskin sketchbook.

What I like about this planner—at the bottom of every spread, there is a space for your week’s bright ideas, insights, inspirations, prayers, etc.

The design was made by different local artists and designers for a cause. The planner also provides different coupons for each month.

As for 2013—assuming that we survived (hoping that the Mayans are wrong), I might make my own planner—said this last year though. I guarantee you that I will find time to make customized planners. My only problem is, I do not know anyone who prints one. I did make a couple of inquiries—it is very costly.

Dear self, restrain from impulse buying (especially books). Bought The Son of Neptune before this—The Lost Hero because everywhere I go, this is out of stock. Luckily for me, National Bookstore—Cubao Branch restocked Rick Riordan books. I will also practice cleaning and painting my nails; hence, the green nail polish.

I’m a sucker for fantasies and mythologies.

Christmas Gifts 2011

Fri, 30 Dec 2011 12:02:00 +0800

The advantage of having a large family—many presents from my loved ones. I am also lucky to have a boyfriend who puts extra effort in gift-giving. (Bawi talaga ako next time!)

Tree of Codes by Jonathan Safran Foer from my cousin and his family (Kuya Alek, Ate Ace, Kai, and Luke) The weirdest pages ever, I love it.

Late Birthday gift from the same people—Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual. (Not really a fan of video tutorials.)

Accessory holder and bangles from my cousin, Ate Kats.

Clip and necklace from my boyfriend’s parents, Tita Cherry and Tito Arnold.

Bracelet from Pat’s niece, Dylan.

Avon Eau De Cologne from my Aunt.

P500 Fullybooked Gift Card—Exchange gift during our annual CJ Christmas Party.

A red K-x camera keychain and a spoon-fork-knife in one from Lyssa.

And finally, gifts from Pat:

Bag I really like—Greenhills, Shoppesville.

Been eyeing on these shoes ever since. My first pair of Charles and Keith! :)

Christmas 2011

Couple of shots before and during Christmas. We always spend Christmas at home.

It would have been the best Christmas ever if my Mom, Dad, and Brother were here. Skype-ing with my Dad and Brother.

Hello cousins, nieces, and nephews. (Pizarro-Africa side)
