Save the Philippines, Save the World
It is already over a week since Yolanda (Haiyan), one of the most powerful typhoons ever recorded, hit the Philippines and I am still at a loss for words.

Admit it, you were one of the many people who went gaga over the most loved character on social media – THE MINIONS from the animated movie, Despicable Me (1 and 2). I saw pictures of merchandises and collectibles trend on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for quite a long time and I can’t blame everyone. Their stupidity is comical cuteness is irresistible.
One of the highlights of my October is the start of my collaboration with DeeDee Studio, an architectural design and visualization studio in New Zealand. Jonathan Davies, the director, discovered me via this humble blog and we started working together afterwards. I’m happy to be a part of his team even just through e-mail correspondents.
Remember Style Stunner Manila? Of course you do! You have seen me wearing their clothes earlier this year but if you missed it, you can view the mini-photoshoot we had here.
So, what’s up? Well, they have new collections to drool for and they have *dundundun* a new brand identity c/o my most talented friend Daryl Refuerzo! For me, his name is synonymous to logo design (not to mention photography) so I recommended him to my soon-to-conquer-the-online-shopping-industry friend, Pennie, owner of SSM.
I think I haven’t mentioned on this blog that I, along with my good friend Aivi Cruz, am doing the design of a proposed residential project in Bulacan.
The house shall sit in the middle of a Mango Farm where the owners envision themselves retiring in the future. It is a big house on a big, big lot (or at least a portion of it) and I can honestly say that it has been challenging so far. I won’t say anything much about the project yet except that the owners do not want to go for a modern design. They want it cozy, grand and Mediterranean.
