Something to look forward to

I've been wanting to take up short courses on some technical skills in Fashion Design. Patternmaking and sewing to be exact. This term my load is not that heavy, having classes only every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Friday's not even booked, just one 3-hour class. So since the term break, I've been looking into schools that offer such classes. I've contacted LCI-Manila first and they sent me their schedule

BASIC MAKE UP

And then I saw the one in SoFA.



I remember my friend Ianna recommending the school. She took some classes there before and she said the atmosphere is fun. I don't know anyone who has gone to LCI so I don't know how it's like there. Also, considering that I want to take up both Sewing and Patternmaking I think it would only be convenient if I take it up in SoFA since they offer that. I just wish it isn't so soon, I haven't even talked to my parents about it yet.

So tired of being a bum at home. And I need to meet new people!

Fucking finally!

After getting frustrated along with half of my batch over the fucked up system of CSB for encoding, I HAVE FINALLY ENCODED. This was totally unexpected, I just wanted to go to SIS and check the list of classes available. I tried to log in, and just when I was not expecting on getting in, I actually do. Really didn't have any other choice for NSTP except for that 7:40-9:10PM class but whatever. I only have classes every Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. I'd just save my 6 cuts for Tuesdays when I get tired of waiting during my long (5 hours, le gasp!) break.

I'll try to find a better schedule tomorrow, doesn't really matter if it's on the other buildings. I'd take a 5-minute walk over 5 hours of waiting any day. Except maybe when it's raining really hard.

Anyway, my schedule!



Okayyy, I realize that the picture is too small. So to recap:

Ursus Wehrli tidies up art

In this video, Ursus Wehrli talks about tidying modern art by sorting each piece of the painting by color, size and shape.

While browsing through the list of videos, this one caught my eye mainly because it has the word tidy in it. I'm prone to having obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and it goes more than being organized with my stuff and not being able to stand messes. Like the speaker in the video, I tend to deconstruct the things I see and arrange them in a way that would make them look like they're not just a random coincidence. So when you see me looking all contemplative while in the car, that's not me pondering about the serious things in life like how to end poverty or which nail polish color makes my fingers look less stubby. I'm most probably trying to make sense out of the UZU548 plate number I see in the car in front of me.

My weird obsession aside, the video also subtly points out that art in whatever form is subjective. There is such a thing though as taking it too far, or over-analyzing art like what Ursus Wehrli did. This can either bring up a new perspective on the piece, or totally bastardize the original concept behind it. We all see things differently, and that's what makes art fascinating.

So we had to maintain a group blog for my Philippine Literature in English class. This week we were asked to each watch a video from ted.com then make an entry commenting on what we watched. I chose this and crammed the whole thing because I seriously just want to sleep.

And since I'm done, goodnight.

Changing my mind (again)

Today is the day that I decide to stick with Interior Design. CSB for 4 more terms then PSID, and then (hopefully) this:
