Simon Says
“We have to be careful about trying to enshrine our beliefs, however religiously valid we may believe th…them to be, in the Minnesota constitution. And what I’m hearing today, and what I heard on Friday, was largely a religious justification for change in the Minnesota constitution. I don’t think that’s right, I don’t think it’s fair, I think it departs from our tradition.
The other thing, which...

For 2012
May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope somewhere this year, you surprise yourself.
Thank you Carmi for sharing this :)

Friend: So are you two gonna do it?
Me: I'm having second thoughts. This person wants a serious relationship.
Friend: Oh dear. Be careful.
Me: I know. I'm only looking for someone to make mistakes with.

While Looking At Everyday Things
These past few weeks I have given myself more time to study the interactions between humans and objects. In my observations, I learned that each of our senses operate on feeding the intellect with information found everywhere in almost every object. And as always, I am convinced that design had something to do with all of this.
For the purveyors of good design, an object will never be fully...

Quarter Life Crisis Update
Meh. I’ve my goals and my plans help me get there. I took a detour somewhere along the way but now I’m right on track, career-wise. It’s a long way to the top but I know I’ll make it.
To the people who egg me to keep on running, I will never forget how you all metaphysically manhandle them hecklers. I’ll be forever thankful for that.
And...

The Challenge Of Creativity
When I’m at the grocery store…
I find myself smiling everytime I see a design that not only captures my attention, but also presents a solution. I want to be able to glide through all that imagery and still appreciate the purpose of its creation. Just then will I allow myself to actually buy that lovely piece of organized information and then I walk away satisfied.
To me, anything...

A Good Grid Will Get You Far
Seriously, you can never go wrong with preset guides. It’s the fastest way to a streamlined design.

Dilemma
In a world where presumptions are second-nature to every carbon-based life form, and where social networking makes everyone (including yourself) a dilletante in the art of deception, a particularly volatile situation presents itself.
Between being too friendly or being too unkind, where does one really stand?
If you ain’t got no clue, you’re dead. A slow death if you’re just...

Not There Yet
As you all might already know, I just started on this new job as a designer at Publicis Manila. Yes, I am starting again. For the third time.
As per today, I’ve roughly 180 days before judgement day comes. So before that day arrives, I’ve to be amazeballs. Um-mayz-bowls.

When Something Bad Happens
You have three choices:
You can either let it define you.
Let it destroy you.
Or you can let it strengthen you.
