Life Updates: Part Two

1. Hugging an elephant at Resorts World because I can

2. I received a pair of shoes from my friend Shallah.

(Now look, me and Shallah haven't gotten really close, okay. 

Pero she went on a trip to Thailand, saw these shoes, 

and got them for me because they reminded her of me.

It was one of the coolest surprises ever. She's super sweet)

3. Went to S&R with Mom, Tita Mimi, and Ysabel.

After buying too many groceries, there was no more space in the car.

I had to sit in between the two front seats on the way back home.

4. Hiding in the couch

4. S&R with Dad (Yes it was a Dad + Ana date at S&R even I kenneth bilibit)

5. Found a tiny kitten in a box outside Ministop SDA. 

I wonder whose it was?

6. Copying one of my favoritest teachers

(We all love him, okay. He is one of the most supportivekindamazingpogi 

people I have ever met, and he did everything he could to help us out during the exhibit.)

7. Typing on Ms. Bercasio's computer (I became her personal assistant for the day -

Personal assistant jobs include buying bread, taking down her students' names, and 

helping her grade her students' artwork submissions)

8. Was talking to Carlos about his sneakers, and he said, 

"It's like walking on a pile of ducks!"

... And then I had to draw it because I felt bad for the ducks

9. Sad Keanu hanging out on the whiteboard in the sound room

10. The Multimedia Arts Festival floor plan that needed never ending revising

11. Ms. Bercasio buying us mani after she heard me saying, "Look, peanuts!"

(She bought us peanuts in exchange for going with her to get a haircut, lol)

12. One of the things I miss about having long hair - 

I could hide my face

13. Sir Jay Javier in Black and White Photography class.

This was taken early in the term, when we weren't busy with 

developing film yet.

14. With Chloe, one of the coolest girls at school

15. Why the hell was I drawing my feet

16. Why the hell is this woman wearing a top like that

17. Sometimes I have really weird days

18. Taking a photo of him taking a photo of me

19. Fishtail-braiding Cheska's hair during the first PORTFOL General Assembly that I attended

20. Someone moved Sad Keanu to the speaker in front of class

and put a funny speech bubble on him

21. Tisha on top of a ladder on top of the NAC building

22. And then POOF it's been three years!?

Life Updates: Part One

1. My wonderful friend Ina invited me to a shoot for an article she was shooting 

for the Philippine Star (it was about androgynous people and she said that 

I always dress like a boy so ready set go na daw) 

I would like to thank her magical face for the opportunity - and as usual,

I would like to tell her that she is such a talented photographer

2. When I write letters to people, I like to give them information they don't need to see.

3. November of 2012, I attended the PRACPREP seminar at school,
and I was too lazy to change into my heels in the bathroom. I did it on the stairs.

4. Last year, I received a LOT OF HELP from my Mom's friend Tito Butch
because I had no idea how to make a proper business plan for my BIZ2 class.

This is their pet schnauzer, Magic.
She is adorable and she feels naked without clothes.

5. When we are in a mall and we know we can't buy anything,
we just take sad photos in the mirror because why the hell not

6. One of the things I could not buy.
Guys, this dress never reappeared in Top Shop ever again.
I still feel bad about not being able to get it.

7. A cute lola eating an ice cream outside Ministop SDA.
She looked like she was taking a break from pulling that cart around.

8. A lady with bags of food from Jollibee inside McDonald's

9. Love love for Simba

10. Christian with his girlfriend + his girlfriend's sister inside a bubble
during his birthday party (Please ang cute lang)

11. Sharing a giant sandwich with my yaya after an afternoon of Christmas
shopping for the family at High Street

12. Daffy got attacked by Simba a few days before leaving for Hong Kong for Christmas break.
One of the scariest things that I have ever seen up front - but Daffy was super brave when
he had to get a million shots (50 when I'm not exaggerating) at the hospital

13. From the film camera that Carlos gave me for my birthday - That's Ate Mich watching
the kids try to put as many straws into their parent's / yaya's hair before the time is up

14. Another from the camera from Carlos - I think I posted this in my Ina post?
I am not sure. Basta, I really like this photo of Ms. Ina eh.

15. Another from the camera from Carlos - The boys obsessing
over the Game of Life on Miko's iPad (Grabe we went to Tagaytay
and we ended up just playing this for the whole day)

16. Another from the camera from Carlos -
This would be the guy who gave me the awesome film camera

17. Another from the camera from Carlos - Kuya Leo's stomach, Daffy, and Miko
(Taken on the last day of our Hong Kong trip, right before leaving for the airport)

18. Korra and Bel, taken with my fisheye

19. A trip to Tagaytay is not complete without going to the Steak House for lunch.
Why I am posing like this, wa ko knows

20. Eh heller look at the steak - this would be why we never get sick of it

Appa

Long time no blog - I've been so busy I wasn't even able to blog about Appa.

After months of having Korra at the house, my mom felt that

he should have a friend so he wouldn't be so lonely at the house.

She talked to my brother about getting a new dog, and he found a breeder 

with a tiny white pomeranian. January of this year, during my 

parents' anniversary dinner, the breeder took this little dog to the restaurant 

and we met him for the first time. 

He was adorable and super happy. He was wagging his tail and licking all of us.

So ayon, we fell in love and decided to get him that same night

Since Appa wasn't used to the house yet, he'd wake me up at 6am
for the first few days because he wanted to pee.

He was a little bit older than Korra was when we got him,
so it was really hard to make him fit into my shoe - I forced it anyway.

'Di din ata gets ni Appa yung concept ng "bed," so he would
sleep on the floor of his cage instead of his pillow

He also liked sticking his nose and his paws out of the cage for some reason.
(Korra used to do this too - Appa looks Chinese, 'no?)

He had adorable eyebags that Dad really liked.
Dad said the eyebags made Appa look different

#medyomalandi

He was super hyper too, he would pull bags three times his weight around the house

Korra hated him for a while too, (syempre spoiled dog kasi)
pero he warmed up to Appa din

That's my niece Maxine playing house with them

They'd take me to school everyday.
(Did you notice they're making a heart shape? Hehe kyot)

Dad, Mom, and Appa (He loved that corner)

He would sleep on me

And sleep on me

And sleep on me

And sleep on me.

I miss Appa.

Kris Aquino

So when this whole Kris-Aquino-crying-with-her-sisters-wearing-black-and-no-make-up
thing exploded, my Ate sent me a tweet saying that I should be there to
support her in case she has a  nervous breakdown on national television.

And theeeeeen, this drawing was made.
Her exact request to me was,
"Ana! Can u draw for me pls our presscon
with u and diday in black and me in ponytail,
no makeup? For my blog"

It didn't look like Ate with a ponytail, so I drew her with her hair down

Multimedia Arts Festival (Please go!!!)

People who know me personally know that I hate having to ask people for things,
but this is a big, big, big, big, big, exception.

Meet the Multimedia Arts Festival, a collaboration of all the students
taking PORTFOL (as in portfolio kung hindi halata) class this term.
Our goal this term was to make each installation as interactive as possible.
We really didn't want this to just be like any other exhibit -
we wanted everyone to have fun and to be able to play with the artworks
and I am really, really excited and scared and proud to be part of it!


This amazing amazing poster was made by Jer Dee, Anna Dela Rama and Nando Maglutac
(and they worked non-stop for around nine hours to finish this - I know because I was there!!!) 



Please come by if you have time on these dates!!!

 BOTH THE IN-CAMPUS EXHIBIT AND THE OFF-CAMPUS EXHIBIT
ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS IN ANYONE CAN GO,
AND NO THERE IS NO ENTRANCE FEE!!! Diba that's awesome???
And seriously. The flying pig on the poster should really be enough for you to want to come by.



P.S. Since I'm already asking you guys to go to the exhibit, might as well ask you to
like the Facebook page. :-)) The link is over here!!! Watch out for updates and schedules
on our Facebook, okay? During the April 10-12 exhibit at Rockwell, we are inviting
very cool people to give talks about the creative industry

Thank you for taking the time to read this post, too!!!
Muah muah

Miss Ina Inonog, ebribadi

I told myself that I had to take a break from blogging 

so that I could concentrate on my thesis and our PORTFOL 

exhibit this term, but I had to post this - 

This is my friend Ina's thesis and I am so proud of her 

and pwede bang I am so lucky to have been a part of it? 

Grabe lang guys, watch this - Mastre-stress kayo.

(And dear Ina, I'm so happy that it's over! I know how much stress 

you were in when you were making this - pero super worth it diba???

Grabe I really want a copy of this I want to read it okay.

Can you bring it with you the next time I see you?)

I love you forever, Ina - I'm soooooooooo proud talaga

 I will never get tired of saying that

Something to add to my hair list

Elo, ebribadi



Last Tuesday, I posted this photo on my Instagram - yes, I cut all my hair off. :-))
Pero grabe, one giant mistake is that I had it cut at a place where I don't normally go.

I was at Rockwell at the time and wanted my hair off (if some people go impulse buying, I go impulse hair-cutting whenever I feel like) so me + Carlos + Borj went looking around and ended up
at Basement Salon. Eh they looked like they were good, right? Hay nako, wrong. :-<

1. Please listen to what your cutomer says and do what they want, not what you want. :-(
2. Please learn how to blow dry properly, don't burn people's scalps. Huwag itapat ang blow dryer sa ulo ng tao, sa buhok po niya, okay? Okay.
3. Mag-ingat ka sa pag gupit ng bangs, please. PLEASE. Once you get it wrong there is no fixing it. (This guy cut the middle part of my bangs too short. Grabe he really looked like he knew what he was doing so I let him, but then when they dried my hair after, I think he was super trying to cover up his mistake -____-)

Anyway. After that scary experience, I swore never to go back there again.
The next day I went to Studio 546 at Shangrila where I always go,
and I had my haircut fixed from some ugly semi-bob thing to the boy cut I wanted +
I got my hair recolored na

Since the bangs were unfixable, I have to go bangless for a while, but I don't think I mind so much.
I like how it came out (Dear Delia I thank you ten million times for fixing my hair muah muah)


I don't think I've ever gone this short before! (Siguro kasi din bawal sa high school)
