Thesis senti mode, hours after seeing this year’s Seniors’ Exhibit. Damn it. )

I'll just place this image here.

*Minutes after discarding the .psd file, I realized that it’s ‘near,’ not ‘here.’ D’oh!

Things you don’t see everyday

When I lost my flash drive towards the end of the school year, I just used my phone as a flash drive for things I should print or transfer. I’ve already lost three within two years, and I didn’t want to lose another one. Haha.

Anyway, while deleting some files from my phone, I found some photos in my phone that I took whenever I saw random things around me that looked unusual, or in some cases, unacceptable.

Here are some things I found:

Potty seat. Spongebob, with his mouth wide open, would gladly eat your shit.

Baby dolls, especially those whose eyes close when you make them recline, are freaky enough. This fetus-sized baby doll makes things worse.

The most unusual packaging design for bottled water.

The manufacturers of this certain brand of distilled water have done a good job in making their product stand out in the shelf.

First, the bottle has a translucent DEEP BLUE color. Maybe they thought the lakes and oceans are literally colored blue? It looked like a bottle of blue dishwashing liquid amidst the sea of transparent bottles.
Second, BAKIT MAY ULO NG KALABAW? HAHAHA

Mmm, enticing.

I’m never going back to Carriedo Street (or Quiapo) again.

That said, I am sticking to the Escolta-Rosario (Q. Paredes)-Ongpin loop.

Here are some photos from that Binondo-Sta. Cruz loop, for documentation purposes:

Plaza Moraga at the foot of Jones Bridge

El Hogar Filipino, an abandoned building by the Pasig River.

Pridential Bank (now BPI) Building at Plaza Lacson (formerly Plaza Goiti).

Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major in Information Design

Last Saturday we had our course photos taken, but only around 1/4 to 1/3 of use attended.

We were incomplete, but I think I like this shoot better than our block photos during OrSem. Back then, I was cranky (or crankier?) and awkward, putting on a sarcastic smile on my face.

I shall wait for the photos the AEGIS photographer shot, since in the ones the others took, I got covered by the people in front of me. =))

Artillery EB Seniors

Ang bilis, magDe-December na.
I need to complete my thesis, train my successors in The GUIDON and Artillery, and enjoy the remaining time left in college.

To include or not to include Quiapo?

Quiapo would be that huge, textless chunk (including Quiapo Chuch, Qezon Bridge, and Quinta Market) above Avenida Rizal.

Just add the gates, the generic buildings, and some trees, and I’m done!

Then I’m off to making a map of Binondo.
