May 25 - This day is filled with activities and I'm having fun after last week's mural painting. I'll be reunited with Seed Interactive to do an onsite video (same-day edit) for Maam Aleli Tan of Daydream Events. I left the team this month but i already have my word with Maam Aleli months ago about this event. So I accepted the job just for her. It's for her son's 1st birthday with the theme "Cirque du Bebe" or Parisian Carnivale. A day before I went to the pueblo to buy what i will wear for the party. I bought some nifty accessories too which is pretty cool. So here's my get up for the day :)


The red and white accessory reminds me of barber poles. I bought that travel notebook which is so cool. The paper inside is like moleskin. I want to give this as a gift for Maam Aleli but i forgot. XD Anyways, here are some shots of my day :D Before going to the birthday party, i met my high school friends at McDo. Spent a little time with them but it was filled with laughter and fun. Love you guys!




Then, i went to the event but unfortunately i wasn't able to take some pictures. The setup was awesome, as usual. They had a vintage cotton candy stand, ticket booth, sweets stand, photobooth with cool props like a Holga camera and 8mm film camera. The onsite video was a success, too.

On the other side, a bad news came when my team mates for the mural painting told me that we lost the contest. There were controversies surrounding the competition and i just don't wanna think about it while doing the onsite. I told them to get our consolation prize so we can party :D So right after the event, we went to Mr Bean Cafe at Catribo and partied!

Statisticians always use the words population, sample, data, average, mean, conclusion, variance and of course, statistics. Meanwhile, culinary artists use french words in their everyday jobs like a la carte, creme, crepe, cuisine, petit (small), blanch (to bleach), sauté (fried over high heat), fondue (melted), purée (crushed), flambée (burned). Every field has its own set jargons that is vital to their careers. Like statisticians and culinary artists, designers (graphic desingers, web developers, couture, interior designers, architects, etc) also has their commonly used vocabularies. Here is a typographic artwork that gives some designer lingos.


I can really relate to this artwork because there is no day that i don't use the word "design." But what struck me most is the last word, "passion." Since the beginning of my journey of being a newbie designer, i always keep this word in my mind and my heart. Everyone should have a passion, a thing that you love to do and will bring you to greater heights. Sometimes we make mistakes (see what i mean?), which will turn us down and sometimes make us want to give up. We should have a backup fuel that will fire our spirits and stand up and pursue what we really want in life, and that is Passion. A statistician may have a margin of error, a culinary artist may not be a cordon bleu (master chef), but what is important is that we should pour all our hearts in what we do and just enjoy life. :)
