Various Pens

The ball point pen was patented by John J. Loud in 1888. Though what I’m featuring right now are various pen, most of them are ball point pens. The pen is an essential tool for any man, and an important tool for designer like me.

Various posters inside, items collected in different times. This box contains notes, posters, drafts, doodles, fonts, manuals, and other various ephemera I find interesting. These are temporary inspirations. Like collages I take ideas from these collections and compose them into something new

Grid System PDF

Grid systems written Josef Müller-Brockmann published in 1996. This copy was acquired through PDF.

This pdf represents both my allegiance and understanding of the rules my rebellion against It.

The Notebook.

Paper was first invented in China around 100 BC, an essential for making books and notebooks. These specific notebooks were bought from the local bookstore.

Phone

The first true smart phone is the IBM Simon released in 1984, This Alcatel was given to me by my dad. A smartphone is a powerful tool that we humans are stuck on, and because of phones I have decided to become a UX/UI designer because of demand and power.

>’EYE SEE YOU’ poster

Poster created by me in 2022 for the 2nd semester of university. This project pushed me and got me to explore my style, belief, and philosophy. The design isn’t visually deep though a lot of though around style and message was happening behind the scenes. uTorrent Released in 2005 this program was my go-to for entertainment back in Philippines, when everything was expensive for me. The deep lore of rival between ‘WAREZ’ group and their art that embed into their ‘readme.nfo’ files invoke ideas to me. I’m an internet kid, and this was my ephemera.

Well, check out this great list of offbeat names for I've created just for creative moms and dads-to-be like you. A lot of these names are form lists I made when thinking of names for my two tots and some inspired by my favorite celebrity kid names and some are from the top of my head.  Yes, some of these names are "out there" and I've gotten a lot of hateful comments about this post (that's why comments are disabled) but what do you expect from a post called THE ULTIMATE LIST OF ALTERNATIVE BABY NAMES? If you like the names. Awesome! If you don't, that's cool too. To each his own! NOTE: I didn't separate the names by gender as many of these can work for both boys and girls!

I bought a standard calendar from Walmart right? Pen+Gear brand yeah?

So someone tell me why this was the cardboard inside of it?

This is not Christian bashing but for the love of hell if I wanted Jesus merch I'd buy Jesus merch absolutely nowhere on my calendar does it say it's 'DaySpring' brand. It says 'Pen+Gear'.

[ID of text on the cardboard insert:

and a view at P&C on this day in ‘19

Today’s date of the 23rd of january (23.1) reminds me of this ancient verse of Scripture penned by King David:

“The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need.”

The Book of Psalms, Poem 23:1 (New Century Version)

this verse was printed on an envelope for DaySpring Cards manufactured while i was working at Love envelopes, inc. in Tulsa, Oklahoma up until january of ‘06

Thursday, january 23 of 2020

now with 1 year and 3 months in dept. #36 at Pridgeon & Clay, inc. since my first day on the press floor on October 23 of ‘18

documenting the time.

and a view here at press #337 of a double-out run of paired parts PC73660 and PC73661 that will go from here to the manufacturing of a new car.

and i’ve always thought my real work is writing to make a new friend.

Shout out to Lillie Fields for this awesome new dragon symbol that has been the focal point of The DaySpring Epic since I first put pen to page thirty years ago. My sixth grade level artwork had to go. Glad to replace it with this piece! Show her some love at the link below. She’s an amazing artist! . https://www.facebook.com/lilliefieldsartwork/ https://www.instagram.com/p/B5xPDblACWT/?igshid=obn2e7pswrlj

I am not ok

So I’m not sure how to do this and how to keep track of this. I tried writing it all out and it was tough because writing can be tiring. Although I do like paper and pen. Got a few random daily logs going on already. But I guess it might be helpful to track what’s going on for the next 3 months? 

Just to give myself context and maybe whoever finds this blog after I die somewhere down the road LOL. 

I have been struggling with work and life since I started in June 2018. Dayspring is a lovely place with lovely people but the girls that we work with require such an overwhelming level of love and care that I don’t know how to provide. It’s tiring to be constantly giving and not receiving. And I know that we will probably only see it way way down the line but it’s difficult to keep going. I started seeing a psychologist end of February 2019 because it was getting too tough and I was desperate for solutions. It took quite a bit of effort to get over the inertia and the overwhelming idea of even just looking for a psychologist, but eventually I found Elaine. 

Things that we have kind of dug out so far with sessions with Elaine, Dara and even Cheryl, is that a lot of the insecurities and core issues really come from childhood. And I found that interesting because I never really thought my issues would run so deeply. I never hated my parents way of parenting. I mean I questioned it, but I never really saw it as bad parenting. But then again no parent is perfect. I never wanted to blame them for the way I am, but turns out it affected me more than I know.

Core issue: I am irresponsible

Another thing Elaine made me realise was that my parents were more protective than nurturing. Or at least my father was. I think my mum is pretty nurturing. Maybe that makes a good balance. 

Anyway. What this whole depression and anxiety and secondary traumatic stress and compassion fatigue looks like to me is just general dread and anxiety about every thing that needs to be done. I wake up feeling anxious about the day. For example today I woke up thinking it was Monday. I had to remind myself multiple times that it is Saturday. Even when my heart is not pounding out of my chest I still feel anxious, anticipatory anxiety. My head is just in a muffled cloud where I hear my thoughts but they don’t seem like they are in my control. It just kind of goes wherever the hell it wants to go and I just follow it. I function on auto-pilot. I look forward to dying. Not that I want to kill myself, but I hope that tragedy strikes so I can escape the responsibilities of life and just having to live like that every day. Some nights my soul just hurts. I don’t even know why, but there’s just this dull pain in my being that feels like it’s clawing it’s way out to I don’t know where. It’s immense sometimes and I want to scratch through my skin to reach it and just make it stop. Sometimes I wonder if I like being depressed, like it’s an excuse to be shitty at things. But then again I hate myself for it because it just feels so stupid. I didn’t have a shitty childhood so why is my adulthood being shitty now. I didn’t suffer, but maybe that’s why I’m suffering now. No resilience. Sigh. Never gone through stress then now don’t know how to handle. Weak. Feels like it doesn’t make sense for me to give up when these girls have fought through so much more. And I am fighting a fraction of it and I’m done. 

Sometimes I forget I’m dealing with the more difficult population, cause it feels like it’s normal, like this is how they should be considering all they have gone through. I forgot what it’s like to hang out with normal people. It just seems like everyone around me is depressed and anxious. It’s weird.
