Inspiration Sets

I'm going to show you some of my inspiration sets that I made through polyvore. As you all know, I'm an interior designer wannabe and I'm not yet taking any degree course in interior design so I don't know the terms of real Interior Designer use to describe a look/design so I'm sorry for that.


First set is a Boho inspired design. matching different pillowcase is probably one of the most fun thing to do because you get to mix and match the color and prints that you want. For me, Bohemian prints are best paired with white and/or gold things. I think paring it with white and/or gold balances the whole look. I love the gold statement of the side table it is perfect. 

I don't know how to describe this design but don't you think this is cute? I want to include these things in my future house. I think I'm obsessed with the fur carpet. Whenever I try making sets, I always want to include a fur carpet or at least a fur rug. lol. The tables, the sofa, the statement chair, and the pillow looks really good together. The designs of the table are really adorable!
I know there's a term to describe this look but I don't know what it is. hehe. If you will look at my interior design tumblr blog, most of the photos that I reblog looks like this. The look is so tumblr-worthy.

Expect more interior design related post! Thanks for reading! :)

Why Interior Design?

If you read my last post, you would know what this post is going to be. But anyway, if you haven't read it yet, I'll be talking about my new plans for college. As I was saying on my last post, the things that I originally planned since I was in high school, unfortunately, didn't go the way I wanted it to be, so I intentionally stopped for 1 term so I can decide what I really want to do with my life. This seems harder than it looks like. I'm not exagerating, but thinking about what I really want to do with my life is really stressful. I'm not one of those lucky people who already knew what they want to be when they grow up since they were still a lil kid. In my case, I seriously don't know where I'm heading. Choosing a college course is like choosing what you want to do for the rest of your life. It would determine what your career will be in the future. It pressures the hell out of me!

So now I'm planning to start all over again. I'm planning to leave my school and transfer. DLSU is my dream university since I was in fourth grade, and just by thinking of leaving the school makes my heart break. But I already decided that career is more important than the school. I'm now planning to take up Interior Design in De La Salle College of St. Benilde. But fyi, I'm not good in drawing. There are no improvements in my drawing since second grade. But I'm trying my best to learn the basics through youtube. The one point, second point and third point perspectives are some of the things that I want to learn before I study Interior Design (if I would pass *fingers crossed*) I actually thought of taking up Interior Design even before I entered college but I didn't know why I didn't pursue it.

Why Interior Design? Well, there are times when I keep myself awake at night because I'm thinking of different designs for a house. I remember the time when I don't wanna sleep because I'm not yet finished visualizing my dream house. There are also times when I walk up in a room or a store, I would visualize what design would make the place better. And I'm always fascinated by different Home Design magazines.Things like that. I have so many different designs on my mind but I can't interpret it through paper and pencil and that is what I'm planning to learn for my next 3 month break.



There is something inside of me that couldn't help but to feel happy and excited whenever I look at different home or architectural designs. These are some of the collage that I made even before I plan to pursue Interior Design.



I also created a blog to get some Interior Design inspiration. You can check it out at intspo.tumblr.com

YOLO?

It has been 3 months since my last update and I did promised myself that I'll keep this blog active as much as possible, and it seems like I'm not keeping my promise because it took me months to write another post. So here's a quick update about me.
                                  
I'm out of school now. I will be back on third term so I'll be free of school works until the end of this year. To be honest I don't know what to feel about it. I always wished to have a break from school because I'm so lazy, I don't want to study. Kidding haha. But seriously speaking, I always wanted this to happen. Having my own break and a free time so I can do whatever I want. But I know myself. I always want to do so many things but I never move. I always wait for the perfect timing (if there's such thing as "perfect" time) to take a step on doing what I want which is a totally stupid thing to do, because I always end up being unproductive. I hate myself for doing nothing because I always wanted to explore, have fun and just live my life to the fullest. So instead of doing the things that I really want to do, I always stay in my room, sleep, workout, eat, watch korean dramas, and stalk people through instagram and twitter. I'm so tired of it. I mean, we only live once right? And I feel like I'm not enjoying my life. I feel like I'm keeping myself from having fun, I'm afraid to be happy because I know it won't last.
Awhile ago after I finished watching Fated To Love You, I was suddenly curious on what my fate is. I can't help but to think what I'll be doing for the next 3 years, 5 years or 10 years. Will I be the same for the next years? Will I regret something? or will I be the complete opposite of myself - happy, confident, and not afraid and lazy to do what I want to do. To be honest, I'm not afraid to die but I am afraid of the future. I'm afraid that I might regret somethings that I wished I did. I'm scared that it is too late to do the things that I love. I'm scared that I might not be able to reach my goals in life because I didn't took a risk.
Everything that is worth it, doesn't come easy. That is life. Sometimes we lose, sometimes we win. I'm not scared to lose or to fail, I know that it is part of life. But I'm scared of people. People who will judge me without even knowing me. People who will disappoint me. People who won't appreciate me. I'm the type of person who appreciates the people who come to my life. It is not obvious, but yes I'm always grateful and thankful for those who try to get along with me. Why? because I feel like I'm not good enough for anybody. (ok so talking about fear, there was a flying cockroach in my room while I was typing. it was huge and it is still there so now I'm in my parent's room. took me 30 minutes before I had the guts to grab my laptop.) So anyway, where am I? ok, so I'm the type of person who tries to please everyone because I don't want anyone to hate me. And that's the problem. We can't please everyone, yes I know that, but I'm afraid that people will judge me from doing the things that I want to do and some of the other reasons are having the courage, perseverance, and patience.
I'll file a leave of absence for this term because I'm unsure on what I want to do with my life. Before I enter college, everything was clear. I planned the things that I'll do for college. I'm lucky because I was able to go to my dream university though I didn't passed the course that I really want to take. So everything was planned- but none of it goes according to my plan. It is sad, frustrating and disappointing. But I believe that everything happens for a reason. As I was scrolling through my dashboard on tumblr the other day there's was a quote that says "God will wreck your plans when he sees that your plans are about to wreck you." we always ask for things that we want to get or to happen, but once that it isn't given to us, most of us lose faith, and doubt the presence of God. But not me. I believe that there is something better that is in store for me.
I'll end my post here because it is too long already. I would just have a separate post about the college course that I want to pursue. If you read this post, thank you so much. I have no readers actually so if you happen to read this, thank you so much.
