Another milestone. I haven't really feel finishing my Post Grad course in UP, until I have attended this Ceremonial March, went up on stage and shake the hand of the chancelor. #UPOU #upnamingmahal (at Oblation Hall, UPOU Headquarters, Los Baños, Laguna) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl-_W2XyrN1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Sabi ko kagabi ieencode ko na yung sagot ko sa homework dun sa UPOU pero tinatamad talaga ako. Literal na itatype na lang naman. Ahahahaha. Kailangan ko talaga ng study buddy, hindi ko na kayang ipush yung sarili ko na gumawa at feeling ko lagi kaya ko naman na gawin yan lalo na at walang pasok from thursday. Sana ok ka lang, self. xD

Late na ako nakatulog kagabi kasi may tinapos ako na acads na deadline ng 11:59pm. Di ko namalayan na natapos ako ng 3am dahil lang sa pakikipagkwentuhan kay Wongski kasi nasa HK siya tatampo daw muna siya sakin. Dun sa isang classmate ko sa UPOU na nasa ibang bansa rin, maggagabi palang kasi sa kanila dun. Pero sobrang sakit talaga ng ulo ko and feel ko sa sunod sunod na puyat yung mata ko nahihilo na ewan.

I realized something today, that socmed accounts can help the user let go of the heavy emotions they feel, what I am trying to say is that, I am not just sharing this here all of my madness, but also something that scares me, or something that worries me. So, what I did today was apply for a graduate program at University of the Philippines Open University. I’m taking up Social Work, I almost did not catch it because the program was already reached its deadline. I was talking with the admin at the UPOU when he said, the deadline of submission for the program was last September 30, 2023. And I was 2 days late, so I let a sigh out of frustration and the other person in the line said that he was willing to help me as long as I have a student portal, which I have because I made an account before calling their contact number. I was very lucky knowing that the person on the other line opened the course just for me, and I did not waste my time but go for it. He has given me two days to settle down all my requirements but I did finish my application after almost 2 hours. And after I paid for a little fee (application fee), it says “For review”. I am a bit worried if they will let me in or not. But I hope they do.

Ascent Towards Light

I sit, ensconced with my comforter in the almost-bare and empty apartment unit, where, for the longest time, since 2022, have been a witness to the changing landscapes of my dreams and visions.  It is here where I decided for myself that it’s finally time to pursue my God-given dreams, and it is also here where I experienced a cold, lingering feeling of anxiety that would spread across my chest…

“Piada” criada neste blog vira realidade?...

O SBT upou no YouTube a música “Silvio Santos Vem Aí” na versão do programa especial de 60 anos, executada por uma banda profissional (tipo a saudosa do Faustão) e que foi chamada de Banda Silvio Santos. Quando faleceu o Lombardi, fizemos textos a respeito, falando que ele era o baixista do Grupo Silvio Santos (entendeu? Grupo, banda, rs) Inclusive, meu antigo emprego ficava perto do Teatro Imprensa e outros prédios do GSS, além de um prédio do Banco PanAmericano que chegou a aparecer na novela Chiquititas (a clássica). Aliás, me lembro desde criança do letreiro na lateral do prédio com os famosos SS hexagonais - e que eu fique sabendo só no século XXI que já foram usados em câmeras e microfones do que seria mais tarde o SBT. (EDIT - Eu não sabia que essa versão da música não é só a dos 60 anos, mas é o tema atual do PSS, mais conhecido como Patrícia Santos Show, digo :P)

As one of Bukas-Space and UPOU’s Futurists in Residence, Renz Reyes’ views are something to think about in the current situation. Speculating on the future of the Terno as an icon of Filipino culture and identity, I look forward to his designs as he goes back and forth between the traditional and modern and synthesising computers and mechanisms in work to come up with something unique. Below are some images I grabbed from his presentation.

1st Blog “Terno Futures”

Welcome. We are in very strange times indeed. not really the most ideal Scenario. given to what is our Current reality. Hopelessness has set in and its so easy to get into a negative Headspace. after the Elections. I had a lot of mixed feelings. disappointment, anger and confusion. The desire to create was fleeting. but I knew moping around and sulking would be unproductive. and I can't be in that bubble for too long. to somehow get this thoughts out to comfort myself. I talked to a friend regarding our feelings at the time. and as our conversation progressed. We came to a consensus that we had to do something. A dialogue needed to begin.

As Creators ourselves. the best way we know is through art. Being Designers, We Naturally gravitated towards fashion and more specifically, The Terno. Since the Terno is a symbol of the Filipino people. which unfortunately has been tainted and synonymously linked to some unsavory individuals. now more than ever we need to claim the Terno as our own national identity.

As a creative who has a dayjob. I always sought ways to express my art outside commercial structures. Where I can explore my ideas to its fullest extent and just go off as the kid's would say Haha. So when this artist residency project by UPOU came into existence and I was offered to participate in it. it was a no brainer. What I really liked about this project is besides Creating meaningful, thought provoking pieces of Art. It also focuses on Futures literacy/ Thinking. I've always admired designers who are able to Combine Design and Technology in their work. Lately, There's been a shift in the industry where designers are collaborating with Scientists and Engineers. Developing new ways to create Textiles. Making Kinetic Garments, and having The Clothes be Computers themselves. its a different way of storytelling. These are the kinds of things I didn't know were even possible to do here locally. and these kinds of collaborations are the ones that yield the most interesting results. This being quite a new concept here. Made me more interested to make it happen.

C ircling back to the Terno. We chose it since we want to do something that means to us and a lot of people. and if we were going to do something that elevates an artform from tradition to something Modern. it had to be the Terno. over the course of a few months I and my colleagues will be blogging The Progress of our work and the many changes that it will go into depending the challenges of Materials, production and the mentorship that we will all be under. i'm very interested in collaborating with The different experts in the fields of Technology/Science and Design and how it will affect my work visually and its purpose in the modern World.
