What’s your room like?
Mine right now is a mumbo jumbo of flamingo pink, lime green, pale yellow and electric blue. It seriously looks like an aftermath of an attack of pre-schoolers with highlighters.
Its been like this for almost three years now–
And I love it. It reminds me of those rainbow springs I played with as a kid, and well, a lot of my childhood in general.
I used to eat and breathe art. As a 3rd grader, I’d even cut classes to draw or paint in the art room. Art workshops were a summer staple, and I was basically a mainstay at the Ayala Museum. Man, I can even remember the chocolate shake I’d order everyday and would try to replicate at home. Ah, yes. Nothing can beat the old art and sweets combo.
Looking to revamp my room, I instead found some really cool works that made me want to grab a paintbrush and my trusty Prang watercolor set before my creative juices run dry with non-use. Even as a young artist, my art materials bore one thing in common: all the dark colors were the last ones to run out (if they even did), and the bright pinks, purples, yellows, reds, oranges, greens and blues were always begging for replacements.
Tina Fey Gets Layered
Watercolor is my most favorite medium, despite it being really hard to control. And I don’t know how Jordan Domont did these, but they’re amazing. Must try this layering technique some time.
Fresh Lychee Pickings
They’re at it again! I’m really loving this set they came up with for Hewlett-Packard. I think Electrolychee has a very distinct and humorous style. They’re a cute and quirky couple, very easy to deal with, as I’ve already interviewed them for an article for The GUIDON.
What can turn my heart into mush?
This little baby right here.
Too bad he isn’t mine.
So just recently, I determinedly embarked on a Maltese Hunt on the Web. And, unless anybody has $600 dollars and a kind heart, then no, I won’t be cuddling a little puppy of my own any time soon. I did, however, stumble upon a few “Free Maltese for Adoption” ads. And being the desperate and too-excited searcher that I was, I responded to two of these posts.
College can turn you into one walking eyebag. When all the stress and deadlines get to me, I figure blogging is the best way to release some of the steam. At least now, I’m a walking–and blogging–eyebag.
THE COLLEGE GIRL INQUIRIES
If you’re a computer-hog like me, then you’d know what I mean when I say that the wealth of information on the web can be a pain in the butt—-quite literally. You search one thing, and there are thousands of sites to choose from. And from those sites, a thousand more sites of related and unrelated topics, and you just keep on clicking and clicking until you realize that it’s the break of dawn and you’ve made a permanent dent on your chair/bed/wherever. Yep, admit it, it is a real pain in the butt.
So I figured, just so all those clicking and butt pain and eyebags don’t feel too unnecessary, why not write about what I found out that day? A new site, service, product, person, news article, and all the other tricks that the WWW has up its sleeve. But then you might think, ‘Well at least one of us is lucky enough to have no other imminent worries other than the pain in her butt which she gets from sitting down all day. Geez. I hope this bum grows to double her present size.’ (Heyyyyy. -_-) I’ll also be posting pictures and details about interesting stuff I encounter outside, like stores, my purchases, friends, classes and all that. That’s also gonna be a challenge for me to go out more and discover new experiences to share. Basically, I just really want to get everyday things and find out what makes them interesting, or uninteresting for that matter.
Yep. That’s the initial plan. I’m working on building a better layout and streamlining what I really want to convey here. I may branch out to other blogs, but as for now, this is a chronicle of my general ramblings and experiences. :]
And if you’re wondering why I decided to start blogging again after a 3-year hiatus, then head on over to my About page to find out.
