Heads up!!

wth is happening we're only 2 months away from christmas! I'm seriously excited for the month of November!! There are a lot of non-working holiday for next month and I'm heading to Singapore on the third week. So basically I only have 2 full weeks to go to class. But since there are a lot of unexpected class suspensions, I know that we're going to cram everything on December before finals week. Sarap muna bago hirap is the concept for the next 2 months. lol. This term has been good to me in terms of work load (hope I wouldn't jinx this) compared to the last terms I had. Although I'm taking more units this term, my profs are more chill. I'm not complaining though. haha! Anyway, I'll be updating again on the next few weeks to come. I can't wait to blog about my travel to Singapore with my friends!! :D

mock up

 

The only thing I learned from my Interior Design 3 prof is the art of cramming. She never discussed anything related to the activities she gave and she gives new plates, scale model or/and mock up every week!! It's a lot of work for us because we also have other major subjects aside from her class. We tried explaining but she doesn't care at all. I hate cramming, I was never good at it but all thanks to her I can be considered pro at it now. LOL. Anyway, this was the mock up for Sunnies Studios that we crammed. HAHAHA! Can't imagine my college life without these two. We're so darn exhausted every week and now we're on to the last project for this term. We're doing another scale model for our finals. Let's go team!

BUSY LIFE = BLESSED LIFE

"This is one of the busiest term ever. I cannot wait for this term to end" - me every term. LOL. But seriously, I only have 4 subjects but the loads of work that I'm carrying is too much. I barely have any free time and I'm already lucky if I get a 6-hour sleep at night. But of course, working out is still a priority, but other than that I don't have other "me" time. It is really true that in college, even if you want to cry because you cannot handle the stress anymore, you must hold back your tears because you don't have time for drama. The struggle is real. Sometimes when I'm on my way to school and I can't hold back my tears anymore, I just let it all out. I'm lowkey sobbing and I think few people have seen me cry in the subway but IDC. I just want to sleep.

Recently some of my highschool friends got their diploma already and some are just gradwaiting. Whenever I open my instagram account and see my friends having a trip to somewhere, I can't help but feel envious because they have so many time to do the things that they want, and here I am struggling to fit all the things I need to do in 24 hours.

Despite being busy and even if from time to time I just want to cry out loud, I must admit that I still enjoy my course. I have no regrets that I'm taking up Interior Design. I was hesitant before to take this course before because I know how time consuming it is, but with every plate and plans that I'm doing, I become more and more hungry to do better and excel in everything I do. I love Interior Design and I must say that I feel blessed that I get to study every aspects of it. I cannot wait to graduate, get a job and share my design with different clients. All of this for our Father above whose presence have never left me. :)

PS: I'll be sharing some of my plates and projects on my next post. see ya! x

Pluviophile

It's already 6 in the morning. I woke up to the sound of heavy rain fall at 3 am and until now I'm still hoping for an announcement of class suspension. lol. I used to hate the rain because it makes me have a certain feeling I cannot explain. But now I learned to love it, it makes me feel relax and tranquil. 

I suddenly remember my conversation with my friend a few years ago. We were talking about what days are we most happy and she quickly answered every time it rains. I laughed at her because I thought most people prefer the hot weather here in the Philippines and so I told her that I didn't like the rain because of the undescribable feeling it makes me feel (too much "feels") lol. But now I understand why she answered it. As I get older I realize that it is the simple things that makes us happy. I learned to stop looking for happiness and I started creating it. We are completely in control of our feelings. As I try to be a mature young adult, I'm trying my best to control my emotions. It was a challenge for me to control it, but seriously speaking, prayer really helped me a lot. Everything can be resolved by a prayer. Remember, God is only one call away ;)


PS: They just declared class suspension from pre-school - HIGH SCHOOL. When will they learn that college students aren't water proof.
PSS: I just declared my own suspension. I'm not going to school I'm feeling under the weather. hahaha!

JUNE 2016

Here's a quick recap on how this month goes for me:
a lot or plate revisions, bedroom floor plan, bedroom reflected ceiling plan, bedroom elevation, bedroom perspective, toilet and bath floor plan, T&B reflected ceiling plan, T&B elevation, T&B perspective, client contract, concept, 3 living room perspective with required colored scheme, french baroque interior rendering, 4 plates for my history of interior design class, mock job interview + written exam

Just a typical month for an Interior Design student I guess? nothing really special happened, I was SUPER busy with school and it's only our midterm!! This has been the busiest month for me. Well I always do a lot of plates but this month has been incredibly mentally, physically and emotionally draining. I needed to finish 16 plates in a span one week. I was so busy with school I literally forgot to eat the whole day. Pulled an all nighter, I skipped my workout and I missed my best friend's birthday party. It's still fresh in my memory how drained I was while I was doing these plates. I wanted to cry so bad because of stress but I had no time. lol. The 3 living room perspective (upper right photo) that I did was so bad though. I usually finish 1 perspective for at least 10 hours and I finished those 3 plates for 9 hours. HAHAHAHA! No regrets! I didn't care anymore I just need to rest. The confusing thing about being a design student or a designer is that you really need to rest or you won't be able to perform your best but you have no time to rest because it takes 1 whole day just to finish 1 work. So it's either you did an excellent job but you didn't finish all the work, or you finish all the work but it isn't good enough. The struggle is real. :(

I'm just happy our midterm is finally over. And now I just realized that we only have one month left before our finals!! (trimester problem) Can't wait for this term to end!

School update

Hola! We had our midterm week last week and yesterday my profs already uploaded our midterm grades and I'm so happy with the results! If you know me personally, you would know that I wasn't the studious-type of person. I wasn't grade conscious, as long as I pass I'm already satisfied with it. But ever since I started taking up Interior Design, I want to excel on everything that I do - whether it's a minor or a major class. I really love my course even if it's so stressful at times. I'm so interested to learn and I'm always challenged to do and be my best. I could talk for hours about how I'm in love with my course but I'd rather save it for a separate post since I'm so tired right now and I want to sleep right after publishing this post. I got home at 10 pm and I wasn't able to sleep well last night so I'm really drained!

Anyway, before I end this post I would like to share you this book that I'm saving up for. It costs $190+ / 6,000+ php. My professor for my Interior Design Principle class gave me a pdf copy of it but I still like to have a hard copy. I still don't know that standard sizes of furnitures and spaces so I REALLT NEED this book. Why do it have to be so expensive :( If you would like to sponsor me please feel free to email me or comment on this post. lol. haha! As if :P

I have to end it here. bonne nuit!

2015 RECAP

2016 is fast approaching. There are only 25 days left before this year ends. It is too early for a year ender post but you know me, I seldom update my blog here so why not make one right now while I'm still on the mood. hehe.

2015 was a roller coaster year for me. There were so many ups and downs that happened. This year went by so fast but I can still recall the things that happened to me during the past 11 months. This year didn't start really well for me. 5th of January I was brawling my eyes out because I discovered that I won't be able to go back to school yet again. I have to wait for May before I can start my studies again and there were lots of anticipation that happened. I wasn't sure when I can enroll because of our financial problem. February was the reservation of slots and March was the enrollment. I was praying really hard during those time wishing that I can enroll so I can go back to school on May. Thanks God I was able to start my new life in this new school that I'm now attending.

May 13 was the first day of school. May 15 was the day I met my crush. haha! But nothing really happened between the two of us. I promised myself that I'd concentrate on my studies so that's what I did. Ok, so there were a little stalking that happened but who doesn't stalk there crush on social media, right? lol. I'm not sure if he likes me but I can feel that we're both too anxious to talk to each other. He has actually a pretty good influence on me... I have a morning class every Tuesday and Wednesday and I was never late for my first class because I know what time he arrives in school so I have to adjust so I can have a glimpse of him to kick start my day! HAHA! we only have the same class every Friday so I only get to see him once a week if I won't make an effort to adjust my schedule for him. I think I deserve an A+ for my effort on that one, yea? haha. But the term ended last August 14 and I never had a chance to see him again. But I don't really mind. you know why? Because 1 month after that term ended I added him on facebook at 2 in the morning. I can't sleep because I was battling with myself if I should add him or not. I did sent him a friend request though but guess what, he didn't accepted my request. I saw him accepted this friend request from another girl (which I was super happy because the girl that she added has 50+ mutual friends with me so there are many connections right) only did I know that that was the girl that she was courting. I didn't took it really hard because I was still pissed that he didn't accepted my friend request (which I cancelled btw) LOL HAHAHA! But they just broke up 3 weeks ago. I'm not stalking him anymore I promise, but I just checked out the twitter of his girl and saw that they broke up. Now the girl is tweeting about trust issues. I wonder what happened between the two of them. haha! But I'm 80% over him just need to drain the last 20%. LOL.

So moving on... Last July 2 my Mom went to the US of A and she coming home next next week. I can't wait to see her again after 5 months!! It is the first time that I didn't see her for that long. It wasn't easy. There were several time that I'd cry because I miss her so very much. I just can't believe & I didn't know how I survived these past few months without her. Here's quotation that I found months ago: "You will never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have"

Most of the things that happened to me this year turned out unexpectedly. But I wouldn't wish for things to turn out different. Every night the only prayer that I'm asking God is "Let your will be done" and if these are all the things that God had planned for me, then who am I to question it. I cannot wait for 2016. Im a little bit nervous but I'm excited to see what God has instored for me.

New Chapter

I have a really exciting news and I'm too excited I don't know how I should say it. I want to make this a super special post (because it really is!) but I don't have any idea on how I should make this extraordinario so I'm not going to make any fuss anymore I'm going straight to the point.

So.. I'm going to study Interior Design!!! Funny how my last post is about me ranting about Interior inspirations and not taking up a degree in Interior Design, but now I'm really going to study Interior Design. For real! I didn't know that my plans on taking up Interior Design would push through but now that it is going to happen, I'm really glad that I tried applying to it and fortunately, I passed. I know that this is not going to be easy, I'm fully aware of that. My friends and family already warned me enough. I already have my flowchart and the subject are quite intimidating. I'm not good in drawing but I'm really willing to learn. I actually emailed one of my most favorite interior designer and she gave me an advice on what to expect on the field. I'm very nervous because besides on the subjects, I'm also a transferee so I need to be extra sociable so I can have new friends! I'm aware that taking up this course would also mean that I should be ready to all the sleepless nights and stressful plates that is needed to be done on time. I'm expecting for the worse so I won't be too surprised and overwhelmed on all the works that will be given to me. I chose this, so I need to persevere and do my best.

It was hard for me to leave my university because my friends are there and I'm going to miss the campus. My friends and family were actually encouraging me to just stay in my university but it is just hard for me to study the course that isn't my interest. I want to prove them all that I can do this. First time in my life, that I'm really motivated to study hard. haha! But I'm actually aiming for a scholarship because I know that this course is really expensive. My 3 older siblings are also in college so just imagine the tuition fees that my parents are paying. So having a scholarship would rally mean a lot. I can do all things through Christ.

I'm going to update every now and then. I'll really try my best to be active here.
