CREATEvents

It's about time for me to start taking my work and 'artsy' hobbies to the next level... Just to share what I do everyday, I work as a Graphic Artist from Monday to Friday, and when I have spare time I also blog. So basically, I need to refuel my creative juices! And the good news is there are so many events in and around the Metro, dedicated for both the artists and the art-lovers, this July and August...
Art at the Shang 2011 is an ongoing exhibit participated by different artists that comprise the Saturday Group. It runs from July 16 to 24, held at the Grand Atrium at Shangri-La Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City. I remember during one of my painting classes when we were required to visit the Saturday Group exhibit so we can get inspiration from the works of the artists, but I had thesis back then, now there's no stopping me! I can finally take my time to enjoy the exhibit. :)
Graphika Manila is now on its 6th year in bringing together the 'creative people,' the Multimedia and Graphic Designers both here and abroad, to be able to inspire newbies like me on their Advertising Design expertise and their success stories. It will take place at the SMX Convention Center on July 30, 2011. It will be my first time to attend, I was able to take advantage of their early bird rate, I really hope to learn so much from this conference. I bought my pass at the Digital Walker at the Ground Floor of Park Square, Makati. You can check out the Graphika Manila website for more information as to where you can purchase your tickets. ;)
Gadgets Magazine’s annual social media event, Pinoy_Blogfest 2.0, is scheduled to happen on 5 August 2011 at the TriNoma Activity Center in Quezon City. The theme for year 2 is: "Social Media as an Agent of Change." I am still hoping to get an invite, because it can help me become a more socially-responsible blogger. Interested bloggers are requested to send their name, blog URL, and contact details to blogfest@gadgetsmagazine.com.ph for invites to the by-invitation-only evening program by July 31, Sunday.

http://thoughtcatalog.com/2012/i-want-a-friday-kind-of-love/# Fridays are full of possibility. Anything could happen. Sure, the weekend could be a letdown, it could turn out to be just another endless series ... The People You Will Fall In Love With In Your 20s | Thought Catalog Just sharing this blog post. And for the record, I'm part of the NBSB community (No Boyfriend Since Birth) - a product of the practicality of finishing College first and the happy-ever-afters of Disney and the romance novels and Classic Pinoy Teleseryes... And a huge part of it is, being uncertain of my maturity level to take care of one-on-one relationships, place somebody else's needs above my own. As a hopeless romantic with a childlike disposition, I truly believe in the last paragraph of this post, that although we encounter different people everyday, but I know someday, it will be clear that someone out there is truly meant for us, aka The One. Lucky for those who have found it earlier, ...

Jetsetter Fashion (in the Movies)

More than a good plot, what I enjoy about movies, are the characters who look their part. And since I am still 'jet-lagged' on the lovely dresses I've seen yesterday in the chick flicks: Eat, Pray, Love and Monte Carlo; I have dedicated my energies into assembling looks on Polyvore and writing about dressing up on travel by taking cues from Liz Gilbert & Meg Kelly. I find it really nice that her wardrobe adapts to the setting, you can distinguish one country from another, it's like showing how Liz has immersed herself to each culture. Among the three lead actresses in Monte Carlo, I would see myself wearing pieces from Leighton's character. She is the most practical, staying true to travelling light and looking great on the camera, without having to sacrifice comfort. And my favorite piece of advice when it comes to dressing up for yourself is to add your own unique sense of style. So the equation to sum this post up is Culture + Comfort + Creativity = J...

Hot and Cold Tagaytay

We had a spontaneous trip to Tagaytay to maximize the long weekend and escape Manila Heat. It was only planned the night before. Our first stop was at the Pagcor Casino, the good news is I just turned 22 (no entrance for minors 21 years old and below) but there were no cameras allowed. But that wasn't the kind of fun that my cousins and I had in mind. So we then took our merienda and headed off to Taal Vista and there was outdoor arcade overlooking the Taal Volcano, it was way cheaper and was all good clean fun. We had dinner at Summit Ridge, complete with grocery stores, tiangges and restaurants so you won't miss Manila that much. We stayed for the night at Character Hotel, TICC , it boasts its olympic-sized swimming pool, but since we weren't that masochistic to have a night swimming considering the cool temperature at night so we planned to take a dip after the Easter mass the morning after. On our way home, we stopped over at Nuvali for lunch and take a look at the e...
