Where did my neighbor go?

Last semester was a really tough one, looking back I really have no idea how it passed. I had to work on two 100-page books, and one had to be written by yours truly. I used to wake up before dawn to catch up on all the work load I had.

I know one thing that surely made it better, my little bird neighbor. He'd come visit me every morning whistling a beautiful tune that cheered me up each time, He made me feel special, as if he knew what I was going through and tried to make it easier on me, and he did. Two months later, after coming back from a refreshing visit back home, I noticed a change, something dear to me is no longer here, I can't find my beautiful neighbor, I sat at my window waiting but he never came. I only hope he's still out there and ok. I really miss my beautiful neighbor.

More and more secrets...

I still can't get over those post secrets, I really find them quite charming...umm.. I think the reason behind their charm is honesty.

I heart honesty.

Julie and Julia

Last night mom, sis and I went to watch Julie and Julia at the movie theatre, I can honestly say that it is not my kind of movie but I loved it. Merel streep is hilarious! I loved how both characters were passionate about what they did. I also fell for the cheerful Julia Child who nothing seemed to get her down and always looked at the bright side of everything. I want to be just like her, Passionate, loving, big-hearted and content with what I have which eventually leads to happiness even in the darkest of days. 

ummm...yah, what?!

I was image browsing for one of my school projects this morning and came across the most unusual, random ad for laser hair removal... I think pasting a man's head to a woman's body can be disturbing on so many levels...That is not advertising.

Are you effin kidding me?

Art Direction Posters

I'm currently taking a summer class with Roland Young at the Academy of Art University and I'm glad I signed up for it. I'm learning to look at ads from a different perspective where my ideas are becoming more conceptual rather than just decorative or something that only "looks good" without having a hard core base for it. We're assigned to create an ad for any product we choose. I chose Diamond matches and Dubble Bubble...

More secrets...

I still can't get over these lovely postcards, some of them are really innocent and cute, and some are kinda creepy...but they're supposed to be secrets right?

Rain drops.

I was peeking out of the window when I saw the most beautiful sky, red, pink, purple, blue and grey shades in the sky...I had to get out and take some photos...You can see I'm still an amateur experimenting with my new SLR :)

Do you have a secret?

A book I stumbled upon while I was roaming stacks and stacks of books in my local library is Post Secret by Frank Warren. I had to take it home with me and go through the whole 275 pages of  wonderful art on postcards done by anonymous mail senders. Here are a bunch of my favs I had to scan and post :)
