tis december...

it's december...
and it's sunny here in lovely los angeles.


i forgot this designer/illustrator's name.
but i really like his(?) style.

i should continue putting up work from 2nd, 3rd, 4th term...

two more weeks til break! and then it's christmas and hopefully
new york in january! (:

SO i read my bible yesterday and it's been a while. felt so good.
praise the Lord.

work: term 1

it's getting chilly=fall is here! (hopefully to stay?)
although i cannot handle the cold too well, it feels good having a chilly weather.
it's already october!!!! that means thanksgiving will be here soon and then
christmas!!! yay (:


*so before i take the time to make a website, i think
i'll use the blog to post up work i've done so far.



maximalism poster: using the theme of a personal object.




el taurino: rebranding &menu redesign


(printed on chipboard with the large logo lasercut)


type 1: hamburge exercises-drawing and forming (egyptian, modern, sans serif)



type 1: logos-recreation of kuat and chloe logos



design1: book (some pages)

fresh.

i am starting my fourth term at art center this week.
oh, how time flies!
already fourth term!!!! that means half way done! 0_0 eep!
looking back, i know that i've learned a lot but i don't know if i've grown to the extent that i could have. so i am determined this term to get as much out of it as i can.

DILIGENCE!!! that shall be my motto for now. diligence in school/design, diligence in my walk with God and serving at church, diligence when helping my mom out...in everything!

let's go!!!

i realized in the midst of everything, you can always be thankful...
even in the worst circumstances, you really can.
it's all about how you accept and handle the situation and being positive makes it
that much better.

la dee dum.

it's been for freaking ever since i've posted here.
school is out next week!!! (:
and surprisingly, everything's been running pretty smoothly~
but of course, motion is kinda stressful :/
but other classes are ayokay.


i love mandalas. they're so pretty and intricate and yay.
the bunny one is so cute.





and this one below i thought was so cool.
i think it's from flickr?


but anyhow, i'm so excited for the 3 week break to come! hip hip hurray!

june gloom//

this weather is very depressing/downing/dragging//
i do not like, very much.
it should either be sunny or pour like there's no tomorrow.
none of this mediocre, in-the-middle, i-don't-know-what-i-am weather. ):

but anyhow, 'tis week cinco...and i am still feeling very lazy.
(what's lazy in spanish again?? crud, i'm forgetting all my spanish)
i am currently doing motion homework. motion is okay, i guess but i'm not terrific at it :/

and i plan on going to the beach at least once this summer, even if i am in school!
anyone wanna go with? let's go soak up the sun after these clouds roll away.

oh yeah, i bought a canon ae-1 slr camera on ebay yesterday.
time to learn to use an slr!! i am excited!!!!! (:



okay, back to motion. ciao.
(i don't think i form comprehensive strings of thought, it's more like snippets. huh, interesting.)

epiphany.

so i finally realized something today.
i realized that there isn't one person that fits you or matches your standards 100%,
whether that be a friend or a significant other.
for the longest time, i've always looked for people that were "my kind of people", ones with perfect personalities, outlooks, etc.. (under my terms). obviously, i've never found a single person that matches this criteria perfectly.
and for the longest time i was so... disappointed and lonely.

but today, something just clicked and i realized that it's okay to trust and confide and draw closer to some people
in my life and that sometimes, there are more ups than downs...
not everyone lets you down and sometimes, they understand you.

as stupid as it may be, i was so comforted today by this little epiphany i had.
it feels like a huge burden was lifted off my shoulders today. i don't know what it was...
maybe my insecurities or lack of trust in people in general or selfishness...
but i haven't felt this kind of peace before in this area of my life. not that i'm living alone in solitude or anything,
but many times, i've felt so lonely even with so many people around me.



thus, today was a great day.

da dee da week 2.

oiiiiii~
i'm still in break mode so i haven't been diligently doing homework everyday like i should've.
therefore, i have piles of homework waiting for me to start.
motion, materials, archetype, type...

BUT sadly i am still not functioning correctly because i keep getting sidetracked.
*sigh, i think it'll take about a month to get adjusted.
and having it being summer makes it worse since everyone else is on summer break.

i really like this actress. she's so cute.

relief, release.

i wish i was a mermaid
i wish i could fly in the air
i wish i could bounce around in a bubble
i wish i wish i wish.

break.

as this week comes to a close (in a few days) i have one more week of break.
oddly enough, as sad as i am that my very much appreciated break is coming to an end, i can't help but to look forward to a new term. perhaps it's the classes i'm about to take, or a sense of being productive and making use of my day, or just the fact that it's no longer 2nd term, whatever the reason, i look forward to the term!

so far, i've taken a trip up to san francisco with the mother and the sister and went to a church picnic. nothing too big and i spend most of my days helping at my mom's store and rolling around at home, but it's been a satisfactory break.

oh! i started reading the twilight series. finished the first one and am currently waiting until tomorrow to borrow the next ones. i know this is the case every time, but books are so much better than the movies. hands down. i fell in love with edward cullen all over again~
