would you go out with random people you meet online? what if he seems like a nice guy?

pardon me, but i think the second question is assuming that i will answer "NO" for the first question. =)

because it's a YES for the first question. as long as it won't be a sudden meet-up. i think the act of "going out" with someone you met online will be fun, provided that you've actually exerted the effort to get to know each other first. or else, you'd both be dragged into the hype of that ridiculous EB bandwagon.

wouldn't it be the same as going out with a friend's friend or with someone you think is fun to be with? =)

ay kaya lang, online o hindi, WALA AKONG PANAHON, HAHAHA.

sige lang, tanong lang. =)

When was the last time you received flowers?

HAHAHA. feb 6, 2003. from someone who was forced to give me that. ayus. hindi kase ako flower person. pero na-appreciate ko ang gesture. tapos pinaalalahanan ko syang 'wag na nyang uulitin. sinunod naman nya. =)

sige lang, tanong lang. =)

How would you describe yourself in 3 words?

optimist. idealist. persistent. (in no particular order, HAHAHA.)

idadagdag ko pa sanang LOYALIST, FEMINIST, and MORALIST. pero hindi naman masyadong tama yun. =p

sige lang, tanong lang. =)

which of your achievements were you most proud of? why? (isipin mo beauty contest..)

ang hirap naman. hahaha. because i honestly think i stopped achieving anything the moment i entered UPD. (then again, i'll sound too negative if that'll be my response... either i don't think i have achieved anything, or maybe i do have them but i am not proud of them.=?) SO, for the sake of answering your question: i've always been proud of that "gawad ng dekano para sa pinakamahusay na namumuno" medal i got way back in 2007. technically, that's an achievement riiiiiiight? =) an achievement i am mighty proud of because it's more of a bonus reward. i was not expecting that. plus, it came during that time when i was (sort of) questioning my value as a UP undergraduate student. HAHAHA. (btw, i am still partly stuck on that state.)

wait... now i remember another! but it's not an achievement per se. there's no medal or certificate, not even a picture to prove it. i just considered it MY achievement--- my final plate on my first ever design class. which was also my first haraya plate. (fyi: "haraya" is UP College of Architecture's way of showcasing stduent works.) and just like Lewis (a.k.a. "cornelius", yaiks spoiler!!! hahaha)from "Meet the Robinsons" --- my first "invention" will always be the most special. =D

thank you for the question. made me think.

(now to end it, in true beauty contest fashion:)
...AND WORLD PEACE. *cue resounding cheers from the audience please.*

sige lang, tanong lang. =)

who's the luckiest man you know? and why? (there aren't any limit in the question right? i got three...:P)

ay, fictional character agad naisip ko: si ironman, tony stark. hahaha. self-explanatory. =)

sige lang, tanong lang. =)

Are you an introvert or an extrovert?

jusko. extrovert. HAHAHA. but i do love spending time away from people too. sabi nga nung quote sa bookmark ko: "quiet moments bring us closer to ourselves." =j

Ask me anything

Do you believe in ghosts?

No. but in spirits, YES. =j

Ask me anything

cut and copy and tape and paste.

for almost my entire college life, i've been ranting about how ridiculously tedious it is to be an architecture student. those seemingly endless nights you'll need to spend for the sake of complying with all the course's requirements--- that's where procrastination comes in handy (it relieves some pressure off your chest); and the art of cramming never cease to provide the very much needed rush of energy.

take it from this girl who's never even had a chance to enter a romantic relationship. being an architecture student (and holding a position in the student government, being active in the college, and working part-time on the sides) is more than enough to make me happy.

enter this sem. my form 5 (which is UP's version of a registration card, fyi) is paid for a single subject. A. SINGLE. SUBJECT. that's a faaaaaaaar cry from all the academic loads i've been taking since 2002. (there, student number giveaway. hahaha.)

i have every intention of filing a leave of absence and work full-time for at least the next five months--- but i have to enroll. lessen the load. abide the rules of the college.... all that jazz.

so i figured, hey maybe i should try a call-center job. i've been blessed with the ability to pull all-nighters. i love learning. i can speak in english... hah. that'll be an "easy" job..or so i think. (this isn't really a post dedicated to sharing my short-stint as a technical support agent for at&t uverse so i'd cut this part of my mumbling short.)

my point is: after resigning from that "full time" job, i suddenly have A LOT of time in my hands. something i am not really ready for. i rarely have all day to laze around--- yet after resigning, i have DAAAAAAAAYS to laze around. this caught me off guard. it did.

so i read up on everything i can put my hands into. i watched EVERY tv show i've been missing on. i bonded with dell many times over. i took on sketching again. (i even dance when nobody's watching.haha.)

and i spent my birthday at home (in quezon) for the first time since i entered college.

----

i went home last weekend.

truth is, if given a choice, i'd rather stay at home. in quezon. i know it's all in my mind, but time is slooooow in the province. it's also not as scorching hot as it is here in the city. i have the license to just sit in front of the tivo all day and still manage to accomplish a lot.

case in point:

i was able to frank gherry myself in less than 24 hrs. (fyi: gherry is the architect of Guggenheim Museum and has been known for using "sketch models" to aid his design process.)

here's my finish product:

that's my "study model" for a structural plate. we're tasked to design a architectural studio building. this one's due on the 23rd. i wasn't really planning on creating a sketch model, but the atmosphere in our study area is oozing with positivity and creativity--- plus, there are a lot of scrap folders and mat's lying around. 

that model, my friend, didn't even cost me a single peso.

note: i originally wrote this post last thursday, but my internet was just too slow last week. original post was entitled "so i'll make some more lists", and was supposed to be all about my knack of getting too obsessed with organizers.

i am not really much of a random person, at least in terms of things i do. i love planning and looking at the big picture. for some reason, 2010's (so far) been full of random things. which i am lovin'.

note to self: don't worry, we are still right on schedule. =)

(and hey, i spent all day yesterday redoing all my floor plans and creating another sketch model. that means, i trashed everything i've been conceptualizing for the past three weeks. i was just not happy with how my building looked like when i saw it in manual 3d. so i literally spent all day yesterday starting from scratch... me thinks i am falling inlove with architecture all over again.)
