Ako’y nagbabalik

“I just stared to the future, and it winked at me.”

Ano daw? Kahit ako di ko naintindihan pinagsasabi-sabi ko. It just came across my mind.

Isa pang English, kakalbuhin ko na sarili ko.

Anyway. HELLO! I’M BACK! Did you miss me? I hope so. Nakakamiss mag blog lalo na pag marami kang nais sabihin at ikwento (at lalo na pag may nagbabagang chismis ka. Joke). Hindi ko naibatid sa inyo ang aking biglaan at matagal na pagkawala dahil sa dami at bigat ng mga sunud-sunod na pangyayari. Sa madaling salita, I was busy.

Medyo nakakapanibago. Matagal-tagal akong hindi nakapagblog. Huling update ko ata eh tungkol kay Shamcey Supsup. Buong October ay wala akong nailagay dito. Maraming beses ako nagtangka ngunit ako’y nabigo. At eto na naman ang palaliman ng Tagalog.

Bakit ngayon lang? Kung ikukwento ko lahat ng pangyayari noong nakalipas na araw ay baka hinihiyawan ka na ng galit mong nanay sa baba, o masunog ang sinasaing mo, o kasalukuyang gumugunaw na ang mundo. Ikukwento ko na lang sa inyo kung bakit biglang nanahimik ang aking blog.

And this shall be my first entry for the month of November…

 

Hindi ko pala nasabi na ako’y kasalukuyang nagtatrabaho sa isang BPO company sa Alabang. Kung kayo ay masugit na tagasubaybay ng aking buhay, nabanggit ko noon ang tungkol sa first job ko as animation builder. It was a great experience pero kailangan kong maghanap ng trabaho na full-time since ako ay isang freelancer lang doon. Di sapat ang aking kinikita. Unexpected na dumating sa akin itong pagkakataon. Month-long ang naging training ko doon bilang graphic artist. Ang challenge para sa akin ay ang oras ng pasok. Night shift ako. Parang call center. Imagine niyo na kung kailan pauwi ang karamihan ay ako naman ay papasok naman and vice versa. Mahirap sa umpisa pero di nagtagal ay nasanay na ang katawan at diwa ko. After all, dapat lang na masanay ako dahil sanay ako sa gabi. Remember, call boy ako. Joke :) .

After an intense month of training,  ako ay naging hired. October 10. Panay status ko noon dahil di ko matago ang tuwa at pasasalamat ko noon. Nagkapirmahan na ng contract at binigyan na kami ng sarili naming ATM accounts. Ilang beses kong tinatanong ang sarili ko kung totoo ba ang mga nagaganap. My first official full-time job. And my first ATM card. At sa unang araw ko sa kompanya ay napa-overtime ako.

Pero hindi rin naiwasan na nagkaproblema along the way. Sinusubukan talaga ako ng Maykapal. 2 weeks after ay nagkaroon ng force resignation/end of contract sa mga employees. Nagpanic ako kasama ang mga officemates ko. Kung ihahalintulad sa graph ang excitement namin, from point A to point B aybiglang bagsak ang kaligayahan namin. Lalo na ako dahil inakala ko na magiging OK na ang lahat. A week before the scheduled office report, andaming gumugulo sa isipan ko. Isa na dun ang paghahanap ng panibagong trabaho. Nakakafrustrate dahil kaka-hire pa lang sa amin tapos tatanggalin kami. Iniisip ko na magpaPasko tapos ako biglang mawawalan ng trabaho. Napaaga ang Mahal na Araw para sa akin.

Subalit ako’y hired pa rin. Salamat, Lord. At kasama ko pa rin ang mga ka-batch ko. Though I feel bad sa mga natanggal. Medyo madami rin ang sapilitang tinanggal. Naintindihan ko naman kung bakit ganoon ang nangyayari. Since malapit na magwakas ang taon ay bumababa na ang production rate kaya kailangang magbawas ng human resource ang company. Ang di ko lang maintindihan ay bakit nag-mass hiring sila noong September tapos sabay ganito ang nangyari nitong October.

Pero sa kabila ng magandang balita ay may condition pa rin. Sana ay dumagsa pa rin ang mga gawain para di mapilitang magbawas ulit ng tao. Kaya sana ay tuluy-tuloy pa rin ang trabaho para may pambili na ako ng hamon at Keso de Bola para sa Pasko :) .

By the way. Share ko sa inyo ang nakakatawang experience ko sa ATM. Since first time ko nga magkaroon ng ATM card, mukha akong tanga sa paggamit. Buti na lang mahaba ang pila at kasama ko ang mga kaibigan ko para obserbahan kung paano gumamit. At dahil sa excitement ko, napasobra ako sa pagtulak sa card. Nagpanic ako na parang si Mr. Bean. Akala ko nilamon na ng makina ang card ko. Buti na lang hindi. And yes, nalasap ko rin ang paghihirap ko sa bandang huli. Pero pangako ko sa sarili ko na hindi ko wawaldasin ang pera ko. Ipon-ipon muna. Kaya isang libo muna inilabas ko. Mahirap na baka maholdap ako.

 

Hot like Mexico, rejoice!

My first career update

Hello guys! Kamusta kayo? Ako? Eto kinakamusta kayo :P .

Medyo hindi ako nakakapagpost dito sa aking blogsite recently kasi marami lang akong ginagawa. In short, busy ako. But I try my best to update all of you. Akala mo kung sinong sikat na celebrity ang nagsasalita. Haha.

Sa totoo lang, I have so many stories and opinion I want to share pero limited lang ang oras ko. Plus, minsan pag may gusto akong ikwento, inaatake ako ng writer’s block. Kapag nasa Add New Post page na ako, hanggang title na lang ako. Sometimes, I don’t know how to express my thoughts into proper words. Mahirap na kasi baka ma-MTRCB o makasuhan ako ng libel. Ayoko mauwi sa ‘Boycott Kakabakaba Ka Ba?’ ang lahat. Joke.

Ngunit gagawin ko ang lahat para maaliw kayo. Bakit, payaso ako? :D .

Unang-una, kaya ako busy dahil may trabaho na ako. Oo, after ilang months, I got a job! *cue in Halleluiah* I’m currently working as a Freelance Scene Builder at Buendia, Makati. I’ll keep it a secret muna kung ano yung company name ng pinapasukan ko :) .

Honestly, I was unsure kung iga-grab ko yung opportunity. Yeah, I’m a multimedia arts graduate but animation was my least forte at all. Even if I took up 3D animation as my thesis in college (Madami akala na kinuha ko eh Video Production. Siguro mukha daw akong director o mukhang camera :D ), I didn’t fancy animation. Although I love cartoons and illustrations :) . Hindi ko na rin pinalampas itong pagkakataon dahil 1) mataas ang unemployment rate dito sa Pilipinas, 2) nakakasawa na ang bum life, 3) kinukulit ako ng mga magulang ko na magtrabaho na ako, 4) 24 na ako at baka mahirapan pa ako makapag-apply ng entry level job, and 6) gusto ko rin magkaroon ng experience at mag-gain ng skills sa 2D animation. Kaya I applied their 2 weeks after my college graduation and spent 2 weeks of training before I got in.

Naalala ko nung interview ko… the director who interviewed me cleared that during my training, there would be no allowance. Sabi ko ‘ayos lang po’ since habol ko talaga is yung training (syempre pa-impress na rin). Tapos sabay biro niya… “…kung sa bagay, di ka naman mahhirapan sa pamasahe… mukha ka namang mayaman, nakakurbata ka pa rito sa resume mo eh.” Salamat sa APC Career and Placement Office at sa English Resource Center dahil dagdag points for my nice formal 2×2 pic, other than my fine edited resume :D .

At first, I had a hard time during the training. I only know little about Adobe Flash (the company uses that software application for making animations). Ask me about Photoshop or Illustrator but not about Flash. Nung college kasi we somehow not tackled Flash. Pero good thing I know Adobe Director since it’s similar naman :) Of course, self study helps. My boss gave me exercises to be done and he told me to ask him questions if there was unclear for me. Ayun, nagtatanong ako tapos nakukuha ko naman.

The office is so cold that’s why during my interview, one of my bosses told me to bring jacket. Buti na lang at nagdala talaga ako, kung hindi inatake na ako ng frostbite. Pakiramdam ko binablast freezer kami tapos i-eexport kami sa ibang bansa. Joke :D Plus, I was also prompted to bring baon/food since mahirap maghanap ng food sa paligid ng building (although merong 7-11 sa katapat). I realized na maganda magdala ng baon para tipid na rin and there’s an assurance na safe ang pagkain ko. Nakakatakot na kasi yung mga naulat na food poisoning.

My evaluation went great. Pinuri naman ako ng bosses ko. They pointed out that I learn and get the tips fast, although may mga shortcuts na nakakalimutan ko (I was advice to take notes… kaya literal na sinusulat ko hehe). Mabilis kong natatapos raw ang exercises, maganda ang track ng exercises (WOW), willing matuto, and, would you believe, friendly at approachable daw ako :) Based on the grade, I got 85%, pinakamataas na grado na yun sa mga nag-training before :) Kaya tuwang-tuwa ako, kulang na lang medalya at magpaparty ako sa opisina kahit hindi ko pa masyado kilala yung ibang mga nagtatrabaho dun :D .

Regarding other employees, at first medyo shy ako. Ganun naman talaga sa umpisa, kasi I observe the environment tapos saka ako aadapt. Yung totoo, nasa Animal Planet tayo? Joke. Merong mga mas bata pa sa akin at mga mas matanda sa akin… kasi matanda ako, kaya middle haha! Nang nagtagal, meron na ako mga kinakausap at mga kakulitan :) Mga kasabay ko sila mag kumain at umuwi :)

About my… hmmm… salary, I don’t mind too much about it. Not that I’m not concern pero kasi pag iniisip ko kaagad yung salapi/sweldo, parang the only reason why I work is for pera LANG. Gusto ko magfocus sa career ko in the animation industry, and by that I want to focus on attaining knowledge and skills muna. Based on what I learned, at first maliit muna yung sweldo pero pag nagtagal, lumalaki rin :) Naiinis ako sa mga taong masyadong curious about sa sahod ko, yung mga tipong ‘magkano sweldo mo?’ ang ibubungad sa’yo. Damn, ako yung sumusweldo, hindi kayo. Kaya please, tantanan ako.

Ayun muna ang aking ibabahagi sa inyong lahat. Marami pang mga magaganap sa aking bagong career. As for my forte na photography, syempre di ko pababayaan yun. Kung maaari, yun ang sideline ko :) That’s my passion. Nagsisimula pa lang ako kaya aware na ako na may mga paratin na mga pagsubok sa aking trabaho. Wow, sounds like telenovela.

Hayaan niyo, pag sumuweldo ako… sweldo ko yon. Joke :D .

Hot like Mexico, rejoice!

P.S. See my signature?? I did it using WACOM tablet sa office. Haha :) .

4th (Young) Multimedia & Graphic Designers Summit

Yesterday, February 26, was the 4th Young Multimedia & Graphic Designers Summit at my former alma mater De La Salle University – Manila. The one-day artists conference was organized by Moomedia , a La Sallian creative organization, and was held at Bro. Andrew Gonzales Building. It has been a long time since I visited DLSU – Manila. Last time I ever stepped my foot there was when I processed my transfer credential and other documents for transferring to another school. Seryoso, nung pagbaba ko ng LRT Vito Cruz station, naramdaman ko ang nostalgia. Naalala ko yung panahon na nagmamadali akong bumaba ng LRT train at tumawid under the railway just to rush to my morning class. For those who aren’t aware yet, I took up BS Civil Engineering there for exactly 1 year until I realized that it wasn’t destined for me. The dreams of becoming an engineer suddenly faded and I was embraced to my real passion which is arts. To cut this long story shorter than short bond paper, I left the Green Complex and sought shelter of a small but competitive 10 plus-storey school located at Magallanes. Enough of drama.

(Marami ang nalilito sa Asia Pacific College at University of Asia and the Pacific.)

Kung inyong mapapansin… why did I put parentheses around “young”? It’s because I looked like a college professor mingling with the crowd younger than the youth (now, that’s hyperbole) :D

Before getting there…

I attended this conference with my blockmates from ABMA53, Jheng and Carlo (who arrived later than me). Sayang kasi 3 lang kami and I was somehow expecting that it could be a mini reunion of our block. I met Jheng at Kenny Roger’s 1 hour late and she let me finish her breakfast meal consisting of pancakes and a hotdog (Yung totoo, beggar ako? LOL). While we were waiting for Carlo, we just talked about our college days, our careers, and our plans for the future. After breakfast, I even accompanied Jheng to an ATM near Torre Lorenzo and the memories became more vivid. Kwento ako ng kwento sa kanya dahil it brought memories. I told her how I was different from the guy they knew today. I was once a quiet, shy, and reserved student before. Basta masaya ako while we were crossing the streets; it felt like a homecoming. Yun nga lang hindi ako gumaraduate there.

Taft - Vito Cruz... we've met again...

Sarap holdapan si Jheng :D

Actually, it would be my first time to enter one of DLSU’s modern campus buildings, the Bro Andrew Gonzales Building. Before I left there 6 years ago, that building was still under construction. Now, I was amazed to observe finally the building that was once still incomplete yet. Jheng and I were greeted by one of the organizers at the entrance then we were ushered to 9th floor. Hindi ko mapigilang mamangha sa building. Kung pupwede lang kuhanan ng pictures ang sarili ko as the school as my background, ginawa ko na kaso inatake ako ng hiya. Baka isipin ng mga tao, “Look at him, he’s so baduy.” (with a social accent). Joke lang :)

the ticket to 4th Young Multimedia & Graphic Designers Summit :)

Akala ko we weren’t registered until I glanced on the registration list and saw my name. After paying for the tickets worth Php 250 each, we entered a lecture hall that looks like APC’s _09 rooms. The difference is that their’s is bigger and colder(!). Umupo kami sa pinakadulong row since most of the seats at the front and middle were occupied. And we realized that the seminar had already began with its first speaker, Robbie Bautista.

The Speakers

Robbie Bautista aka The Creative Dork... siya pala yung "Sushii Boy" na fave artist ko noon sa Multiply

Robbie Bautista

He was already being introduced when we arrived. Carlo missed this first speaker. His talk focused on the process of his career as an illustrator and graphic artist. Originally a BS Computer Studies student, Robbie transferred school to fulfill his real passion for the arts. The talk was like a children’s book but catered to mature audiences. It revolved around his ups and downs of his career. He gave us pieces of advices on how to become a successful artist while trying to give side jokes and ‘tricks’ of the trade. The visuals were simple but fun and relatable. He considered himself “The Creative Dork” because of her quirkiness , sense of fun,  and sometimes weirdness. I didn’t recognize Robbie Bautista first until he showed some of his past artworks. Siya pala yung “Sushii Boy” that I was following before.

Christian San Jose aka "CSJ89"... mas bata sa akin pero bigtime clients :)

Christian San Jose

Finally, Carlo arrived when this second speaker was already introduced. CSJ is a freelance illustrator since 2006. Just like Robbie, he took up Computer Science course, thinking that it was geared towards visual arts. After less than 1 year, he didn’t finish college to pursue his own career. CSJ used the Valentine’s day or love as his inspiration for his talk. As artists, we must love our craft no matter what happens (as he shared with humor and light smile). He showed slides bearing his doodles of humorous stories as well as his outstanding portfolio. I was surprised that I already adore some of his works in the past (but I didn’t take an initiative to know more about him). Who would have ever think that that man before us had Kobe Bryant as one of his clients??? Astig di ba??? And not only that. His designs particularly on shirts were worn outside the Philippines (even showing us screencaps of TV shows with actors wearing the T-shirt!) He also served as former art director of Team Manila, one of my idols in arts industry. One of my favorite advices he gave us is that when opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.

…. Lunch break…

 

Our only pic with one of the speakers. Nagkahiyaan kasi :D

My caricature of Jheng and her bf :)

CLAYGO = Clean As You Go. One of the culture things I miss in DLSU :D

 

…then the 2nd part continues…

Gerry Alanguilan aka "Komikero" reminds me of my kuya + Soxy Topacio. Joke :D

Gerry Alanguilan

The 2nd phase of summit kicked in after lunch time (and Jheng had to leave for her ‘date’ with her special someone). Before the emcee was making introduction, the face of the next speaker caught my attention. Sabi ko kay Carlo, “Carlo, parang pamilyar sa akin yung face nung lalake. Parang nakita ko na siya sa YouTube.” And I was right after hearing his credentials. He had gag videos circulating on net. Check him here. Panigurado makikilala niyo siya :D But I was amazed to learn that he is a professional comics artist, having experience at Marvel Comics and being involved in local comics industry. He has been a comics illustration instructor at College of St. Benilde. The audience had to fight the afterlunch sleepiness but his impressive portfolio made us awake the entire time. His discussion focused on the mixture of traditional and digital comic illustration and story making. Some of his best comic works for me are the spin-off of Rizal’s life entitled The Marvelous Adventures of the Amazing Rizal (imagine Rizal using time machine. Astig, di ba?) and Elmer, a story of chicken civilization (yeah, chickens are like humans in his comics!). As expected, his talk ended with his famous grin. We exploded with laughter, another relief for us. :)

..and there was Tricia Gosingtian aka "Slumberdoll"... one word: GODDESS :)

Tricia Gosingtian

I didn’t expect that the lady who I saw outside the hall is the famous stylista of Philippine fashion. I had to rush to the comfort room kasi naiihi ako sa lamig ng venue, that I didn’t bother to recognize her. Tricia Gosingtian is the 4th speaker for that day’s agenda. She’s a famous creative entrepreneur, fashion blogger, stylist, photographer, and also a model. As when Sir Gerry capped his discussion with his demonstration of his famous smile, I saw her near the door, getting ready. She was like a sweet-smelling perfume. Her aura gradually filled up the room. She was wearing an outfit that looked like she’s the only one who can give justice to it. Tricia, admitting that she just arrived from NY from Fashion Week, introduced as to the world of fashion blogging which made all the female in the audience take down notes (while we, men, were captivated by her charm, beauty, and grace… hayy….). She told us that fashion is a multi-faceted interest and creativity through design can be used to express ourselves on it. She shared some tips and advices about fashion blogging and even gave artists and websites that serve as her inspiration. And when the Q&A time came, girls were so interested about where she buys her stuff, what is her beauty regimen, what is she wearing on her sleep, and if she has a boyfriend (sad to hear but meron… awww…). Anyways, Tricia is still a goddess to me :D

Nelz Yumul aka "Dark Bulb"... one of the brainchildren of WeWillDoodle :)

Nelz Yumul

Last but not the least is Nelz, a skilled illustrator, graphic designer, and artist with an appetite on mix of dark themes and trance influenced arts with a take on mature/deep thought concepts. His deep voice reminds me of Sir Bong, a college professor of mine. Sir Nelz shared that he was a junior reported of a defunct show Chikiting Patrol (which made me a hard time remembering him until I finally gave up and claimed that I used to watch 5 and Up more than it.). He even incorporated beats as our background music (while giving us DJ scratching samples). Unlike Robbie and CJ who gave up their former courses, Sir Nelz finished Computer Studies before he dwelt to the world of arts (however he already has an interest on arts when he was a kid).Then he introduced us to the concepts of art being universal and as science. Known as Dark Bulb by himself, it is noticeable that he plays with dark and deep ideas and intertwine it to pop and light art. He also us the story of Wewilldoodle, a famous group that concerns on doodling on unexpected medium/drawing surface. His advices were about you, as artist, are the brand, killing the darlings of your art experiences, and having a persona for your creativity (just like the speakers and most of us are doing).

Learnings

I really enjoyed the event. I couldn’t stop myself from being inspired with the knowledge and advices the 5 speakers had shared on us. I was even telling my friend about the discussions while we were texting. Inspirations were pouring unstoppable.

As designers in our chosen paths, styles, media, and philosophies, we must be aware of our own sensibilities and sense of uniqueness. It is our own sets of beliefs, emotions, stories, and expressions that set us different from others. Art is a should be a marriage of technicality and vision.

Being an artist is not a one-step process. It takes time to progress. Just like Robbie, his skills and artistic taste developed over time. We must be like CSJ when it comes to having passion for our craft. The inner drive takes us to the unimaginable dimensions of life. Sir Gerry advised us that we must not forget the roots of art. Also, he makes us realize that there’s no impossible in art. Traditional and digital arts can be combined. As artist, we must be aware of ourselves as a brand. Tricia tells the creative mind that what we create speak for ourselves. Lastly, let us be reminded that art is a science according to Sir Nelz. It is considered as a discipline. Moreover, it should be for everyone. It should be available for everyone to use as an instrument to express what we want.

And it’s more than the loot envelope we received. I gained experience and inspiration from the summit. Thank you organizers for a wonderful event. I’m hoping for the 5th summit :D

At marahil ay dumudugo na ang ilong niyo sa super Ingles ko. Haha!

Profile photos of the speakers are owned by them.

 

Loot bag: program booklet, post-its, and a pen :)

Hot like Mexico, rejoice!

Lady Gaga-Inspired Costume (Ops, Hindi Para Sa Akin Ah!)

Salamat sa Diyos at maalam/marunong ako sa iilang mga bagay. Di lang ako photographer. Mananahi pa. :D

Last week, my friend Hannah asked me if I can help her on her Christmas Party costume. Alam niyang matutulungan ko siya. Ang inspiration ng costume niya is Lady Gaga. Sa loob-loob ko, ‘taos na ang Halloween Party ah?’ Pero yun ang trip ng company niya so wala akong magagawa. And besides gusto ko rin eh dahil Lady Gaga fan ako. Aminado, putek. :D

Meron kaming less than a week para gawin ang costume. 2 yung naisip naming visual pegs: yung parang Queen of the Universe at yung White origami/crystal-inspired dress (photo below). We decided on the latter choice nung nasa Divisoria kami while looking for the materials.

So nagdecide kami na gawin ang costume last Thursday :) Ang party nila ay nung Biyernes :D

Taray ni Mother Monster. Tinutubuan ng tawas LOL :D

Segue lang: masaya na magulo mamili ngayon Christmas season sa Divisoria. Andami mong mabibili! Kung may pera lang ako nun, madami akong bagong damit at gamit :) Di ko makakalimutan yung T-shirt sa 168 store. To that shirt: sinusumpa ko, babalikan kita. Kaya tinago kita sa bandang likod para di ka mabili kaagad. Haha :D

We finished buying the materials at around 7 PM, I think. Yung iba di na namin binili kasi meron na sa bahay nila Hannah para menos gastos at makapagdemonstrate kami ng Reduce, Reuse, Recycle campaign (eco-advocate ang inyong abang lingkod, by the way). Nakarating na kami sa house nila by 9 PM dahil dumaan pa kami sa SM Bicutan to buy spray paint and yung pang-exchange gift niya kinabukasan. Imagine niyo gagawin namin yung costume niya in a matter of few hours tapos kinabukasan na gagamitin? Oh, I miss the cramming moments of College :D

Back to becoming an engineering student again. Thank God alam ko pa ang Engineering Drawing basics :D

Me sewing the skirt :D

Base skirt. Galing no? I did it by myself :)

Skirt with tulle para lumobo yung skirt :)

By the way. Si Hannah ay close friend ko since college. Actually, matagal ko na siya kilala. School bus service mate ko siya nung elementary at high school days. Pero di pa kami naging close nun. Nung college nagkita kami at naging classmate ko pa siya sa isang subject (although di kami parehas ng course). And the rest is history :)

Going back sa aking kuwento, as soon as we arrived sa house nila, nagstart na kami gumawa. Inuna ko muna yung polygons dahil medyo mahirap at ako yung nakakaalam ng pattern. After ko gumawa ng patterns, nagtrace naman si Hannah as I started the skirt :) Grabe, from engineering drawing basics napunta naman ako sa home economics part. Haha :D Pero in fairness, marunong ako manahi at gumawa ng palda… balloon skirt pa! Wahahaha!

Meron naman kami katulong sa paggawa (yung sister niya) kaso she needed to sleep early dahil may work siya kinabukasan. And it was fun to meet and talk to their Mom. Ang kwela niya :D

Habang nagawa kami, pinapatugtog ni Hannah yung song for her sing performance sa party nila. Paulit-ulit niyang pinapatugtog para makabisado niya. For me, it was a torture. Imagine niyo si Jigsaw pinapatay kayo sa pamamagitan ng paulit-ulit na pagtugtog ng “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” at “All I Want For Christmas Is You”. At ngayon, naeLSS ako! Joke, Hannah :D

Syempre, dapat may headpiece para Lady Gaga from head to toe :D

Hannah joking around with her white afro wig while being busy :D

We were harvesting polygons :)

Try this: magspray kayo ng spray paint during early morning. Nakakahigh. Shet pare, high ako wahaha!

Inabot kami ng pagtilaok na manok ng matapos naming yung buong costume. Pinasuot ko for testing and we couldn’t believe on the result. GALING! Kahit hindi namin na-achieve yung mismong peg, at least nacapture namin ang pagka-Lady Gaga. Sabi ko nga, mukha lang siyang ballerina na tinubuan ng tawas LOL :D Walang tulugan pero worth it :D

I’ll try to ask for her pics during the party and share ko sa inyo :) For the mean time, hihiramin ko yung dress at ako magsusuot. Wahaha :D

Dahil sa paggawa ng costume, naisip ko ang mga ito:

  1. Marunong pala ako manahi?!
  2. If sipagin ako, gusto ko magtayo ng maliit na costume rental business. Kaso sabi nga ni Hannah mahirap dahil iba-iba sizes ng magiging customers ko if ever. Siya pa lang, nahirapan ako. Joke, Hannah :D
  3. Maging resourceful. Di mo kelangan gusmastos ng mahal para ma-achieve mo ang gusto mo. Sa aming ginawa, gumastos kami ng less than Php 500. Yung polygons aka tawas (hahaha) ay gawa mula sa folders :) Yung iba meron na si Hannah :)
  4. Naiinggit ako sa mga Christmas Party na may costumes :( Di bale, next time, magcocostume ako: yung Lady Gaga talaga wahahah :D

Ta-dah! Hannah aka Lady Gaga!

Presenting Hannah: ang babaeng tinubuan ng tawas crystals LOL :D

At natapos kami at around 5 AM ng Friday. Kaya pag-uwi ko, nasermon on the Mount ako ng ermats at erpats ko. Haha :D

Kung katulad kayo ni Hannah na nais magkaroon ng mga costumes, ibulong niyo lang sa hangin ang pangalan ko.

Bad breath ka! LOL Joke lang :D

Haha! Advance Merry Christmas, little monsters! :D

Hot Like Mexico, Rejoice!
