i'm having a design withrawal, so i was bored and made this after being inspired by joseph p ^^ . . . Just want to share the work of Scott Hansen, San Francisco based artist and musician (Tycho). I dig his style! And if I could make a Christmas wishlist, I would love to get some graphics tees from his shop and as well as shirts from threadless & analogsoul =)

1 more day.. @ 15.12.08
1 more day... till our meeting with Apple Canada, CONCERT (York, Ryerson) to present what we've done so far on our research. It's going to be nerve wracking but I wish my team good luck. I bought Ihor a funky laser pointer so I hope that will aid in our presentation and make us look sleek and professional. LOL! Of course we're going dress up quite nicely for tomorrow as well. I hope we can continue on with our project. I'm just jealous with everyone off on their own vacation, a couple of my aunts went back home to the Philippines and I would die to be out of this cold weather and just lay by the beach and just stare at the sky till the stars come out. *sigh* When will it be my chance to go home? I haven't gone back ever since I left =(
I'm going to be quite busy during the Christmas break and I can't wait to be able to do the things I want to do and not have to worry about school. Relax.. Apparently my family is going skiing with the cousins at Blue Mountain, I think I'll just have to watch them from the cottage in my nice hot tub and amuse myself watching them roll down the hill while they sprain an ankle or so. LOL. There's also a photoshoot I'm helping my friend out because she's studying photography at Sheridan. I'll probably end up modelling again if our model doesn't show up just like last time! I want to take pictures dammit, not be in it. I'm going to tour my cousin around Toronto and find some concerts or live music we can watch, or go to music stores so he can find more music to add in his ever growing music library! I can take him around Queen Street and drool over graphic tees. Oh that reminds me... I still have to silk-screen a shirt for my friend, she's going to give it to her husband for Christmas. But most of all, catch up on sleep and movies! Read magazines, attend a few seminars here and there, I guess I should fit in my Christmas shopping around the times I'm free. There's always stuff for me to do and the list just piles up and is never ending. There never is a time when I just stare at the wall and say to myself "I'm bored...or what now?" It's always an adventure =) just not as exotic as travelling, but someday, hopefully.

Stupid For You @ 13.12.08
This song is so cute, it's upbeat, fun and I love Marie Digby. She's so talented & pretty! She's also half-Japanese ^^
Stupid For You - Marie Digby
It's not everyday That I meet a person quite like you Perfect every way I finally found the nerve to confess that it's you—that I want I don't care if I act a fool I would damn near beg for you Set aside, all my pride So don't keep me hanging here Cause this girl is falling stupid for you... Oh, oh stupid for you...
The proper thing to do Is for me to act like a lady and wait For you to make the first move
But I don't think you're getting the point That it's you—that I want I don't care if I act a fool I would damn near beg for you Put aside, all my pride So don't keep me hanging here Cause this girl is falling stupid for you Oh, oh stupid for you
Why's it always feel like I am Chasing love when nothing's there And here I go just making the same mistakes...
I've fallen stupid for you... Oh, oh stupid for you...
GBC - 2nd Year Poster Night
My poster for A Faulty Plan play, won Best of Show. I was speechless. No wonder the profs were giving me random thumbs up as I was passing by.. I seriously didn't think I would win anything, I just loved making the poster and the idea came to me one night when I just wasn't satisfied with the postcard thumbs I did. I basically got inspired by the other theatre posters that was hung by our school's bathrooms. Those posters had that type of "look" I was going for and I used them for inspiration. Although lots of people utilize awesome photography in their posters, they seemed to me more as movie posters. We're focusing on design here, where the elements on a layout take precedence over actual imagery/pictures. Images are treated just like text, it's the way they are arranged on the page, the colours used etc. that evokes emotion from its audience. This reminds me of this talk I had with a random stranger on the train who was wondering if a picture's meaning changes if a caption was attached to it. What I'm trying to say is that people might have different experiences with a certain photograph, so their reactions to a piece might vary, just like text might prove as a communication obstacle to people (ie. language barriers etc.) Some of the photographs in the posters look amazing though. Now I wonder if there's going to be a photography exhibit in our school sometime soon, that would be awesome!
I just wished somehow my parents had attended the event so they could see all the hardwork that I'm doing and that their money has been put to good use. LOL. I want them to be proud of me, at least my cousin was there for support. I thank him and for his critique, his help, his presence, he's awesome! My friends, family, and that special someone =) also inspire me to be the best that I can be. I love them all. They mean so much to me.

One of my favorite songs from a favorite band of mine! =)
A NEW TATTOO - Urbandub Great moments they pass by If you're careless Desperately trying to speak the words I've been wanting to say for a long time. Tongue tied, every time I try to talk to you In time, I'll find the right line.
Caught a glimpse of you I tremble every time you walk by Hopelessly trying to find a way To be near you, to get near you. In my mind, plays thoughts of you all the time I'll find the right line
I'll bleed for you Like a new tattoo in my heart Youll stay permanent
Am I too late now? Will I find a way to get to you somehow? Shes breaking me down again Shes breaking me down
just a poster i made for fun, ages ago...cuz i'm such a fangirl—a certified "dubista." lolz.

THIS VIDEO IS TOO COOL FOR WORDS. I LOVE THE COLORS & THE CONCEPT =)
DECEMBER 2 CHAPTER VII- Taken by Cars
* * * You spend so much time looking for this one specific thing. You thought you knew what it looked like, you get so wrapped up with it, that you couldn’t see beyond the bigger picture. It's so hard to understand why things happen the way they do. So take a step back, breathe and let go—the answers will find you.

RAINE IS A UDD FAN =) @ 2.12.08
My cousin who knows the band Updharmadown personally told one of its band members (Armi Millare - keyboard, vocals) about the recent picture I posted on my blog/facebook and thus I was featured in her blog. WHAAAT TOO COOL...!!! I feel so special that I deserve a blog entry. Now I'm truly a UDD fan. LOL. All I need now to make my life complete, is to meet the band myself...soontimes, I hope.
Wordplay with words from UDD's "We Give in Sometimes" lyrics. just pure randomness.
