  • Too much is as bad as too little

    Too much is as bad as too little

    I’ve been having too much rest these days. I think I have to start camping out again next week just to stop myself from falling asleep the moment I get home. I was talking to Anna Lou about it and although I find working at home as nice as she does, I just end up…

  • Hua Mulan (2009)

    Hua Mulan (2009)

    Wuxia movies, hm. I never knew I’d get into these. :P I watched the 2009 live-action movie Hua Mulan last Monday and while there were quite a lot of things the film lacked, or I would much rather have seen (but perhaps only a TV series would have had time to explore, such as Mulan’s…

  • It’s autumn in other countries

    It’s autumn in other countries

    while the weather is just weird here. Hot in the morning, heavy rain in the afternoon, then no rain again in the evening. It’s not yet cold enough for layering, black pants and thicker jackets, so I’m stuck with pieces that can be wearable even on the hot hours of the day with a jacket…

  • Trying to hype myself up

    Trying to hype myself up

    If anything, I enjoy learning. With all unadulterated honesty, I really do. For example, I love reading articles and I like researching — I just don’t like writing about them. So when we were making our image gallery project for Flash class, I was really getting into it. Haha. I wanted to do a lot…

  • Everything is a mistake after another

    Everything is a mistake after another

    I’m starting to feel depressed about this. Temporarily, but depressing nonetheless. Imagine putting a price on two weeks of stress and sacrificing academics with it and really, I try not to think about it, but when I do, I just feel so horrible I want to cry. I really haven’t been thinking much about it.…

  • Long-distance relationships?

    Long-distance relationships?

    I watched Going the Distance with my mom this evening and, omgawd, I didn’t know it was such a raunchy-funny kind of movie. Not in a bad way, because it really sent me reeling with laughter. The storyline is ‘meh’ — common and even overused — but if you want something for the laughs and…

  • Oh, vanity

    Oh, vanity

    I can’t focus. I’m at Matteo, our university’s study hall, listening to Disney music and looking at fashion blogs. I came to school supposedly to be productive until 12pm, after which I’ll head to Cubao to buy stuff for tomorrow’s shoot. And maybe find a nice pair of shoes for myself along the way. ;D…

  • voila, the rest of your life you’re green

    I bought this on impulse and almost didn’t sleep last night just to finish it. The story is not extraordinary. A romance you’ve read before: childhood friends who grew up together and then drifted apart, only to be brought together by a tragedy with a lot of issues, secrets, and years of sexual tension in…

  • When August ends

    August started with a calm, AND THEN PICKED UP AN UNBELIEVABLE FAST PACE as I got busy with work, and more work. It ended with a calm (a lazy Tuesday) and a familiar note. Monday was the first day of shooting for Anna Lou’s thesis film “Hacked.” It’s possibly my last production design this year,…
