Things are going to get crazy
—
in DesignWith Photoshop developing Content-Aware Fill, any 2nd grader can edit their photos and no one will need a professional photographer or editor anymore. Photography “skills” will be a thing of the past. It’s sad, it’s crazy, it’s terrifying. Meanwhile, I realized my portfolio is so lame. I’m so lame. I don’t have any designs you’d…

Islam is a beautiful religion
—
in TravelI first learned some of the few things I know about Islam from the best history teacher back in high school, Sir Beni (I kept my notes color-coded only because they were for his class. I drew penguins on every map of Asia/world a we had to sketch for the tests just because I knew…

The destructive touch of Midas
—
in EatEverything break-able should be kept at a 5-meter radius away from me. I dropped my camera on the ground and now it’s dented and I’m still wondering if I should have it fixed (if it’s fix-able. I don’t think so though). I’m a walking accident, I tell you, and it’s just so damn unlucky of…

WARNING: CAPSLOCK
—
in TravelOK SINGAPORE, LET THE SUN SHINE. BECAUSE I BETTER USE THIS. WAIT WHAT? AGAIN. I JUST PANDA-SPAMMED YOUR BROWSER, BUWAHAHAHAHAHA. Now I can say I literally, all-for-real, true-to-life, in-real-life have not much money. But I have a panda hat. Before I made this ridiculous purchasing decision, let me spam my blog more with useless pics…

Man can live on bread alone
—
in Live…and bubble milk tea. I just had two glasses of that today. I think that’s enough for the whole week. I don’t know how long I’ll last with just…bread. Bread is the easiest way of cutting down on money I spend for food. I just eat bread for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Then I eat…

Ambeth and buko pie
—
in LiveThe Singapore Art Museum (SAM) is the only place where you can get Ambeth Ocampo and buko pie at the same time. As sir Ambeth’s former student (I took Philippine/Rizal history under him last semester), I had been anticipating Ambeth Ocampo’s talk on Jose Rizal (and no, I didn’t realize they’ll be serving food–which eventually…

Two sides of the same river
—
in TravelYesterday early-afternoon I went to the Asian Civilizations Museum (ACM) to catch the 2pm English tour (I’m still an art student, ok! So I was genuinely interested and I’ve been looking forward to visiting ever since! I left early when I first dropped by two days ago because I missed the English tour). AND I…

In search for the cheapest food
—
in TravelYesterday, following Advertising Strategies class, Tata and I went to the FASS Canteen and lo and behold! It was even cheaper than dorm food. We bought from this stall a meal that cost $2.30 but had servings for 2 people. We shared this plate, of course. It’s like lunch for $1.15 which wasn’t bad at…

I still die at the sight of sheep
—
in Liveand there are many sheep here in Singapore! Not real sheep but it’s so hard to resist spending money when it concerns these cute, fluffy creatures that I never got over. I just had to inflict a premature state of poverty buy buying that pillow. There was a cute top I wanted to buy but…
