YOUR CONVICTION: YOUR CONDUCT: YOUR CHARACTER: YOUR DESTINATION
Anger without Sin
"A fool gives full vent to anger, but a wise person quietly holds it back... A hot- tempered person starts fight and gets into all kinds of sin." Prov. 29:11, 22
Anger is an inescapable fact of life. But the experience of anger is different from the expression of anger. What I do with my anger, how I express it and manage it, is another ,matter. The good news is that what we have learned we can also unlearned. It is possible for me to manage my anger in a God- honoring way: to be angry and not sin."- John Ortbeg

parang prang lang
Ok ito ang rason kung bakit... galing sa FB, nailink ako dito - http://atellierarchitecturereview.weebly.com/articles.html. Ilang minutong pagbasa at pagsagot, napapara ako sa isa sa mga tanong, dahilan ng pag google ko dito- "Prang System"... na nagdala sa akin dito- http://www.artinarch.com/ct08a.html na naglalaman ng mga sumusunod ^^
8. Colour
8 - 02 Colour Quantification Systems:
Several artists and theorists have explored the potential of colours and studied colours, to the extent that they could compile their research into comprehensive colour theories. There are many colour theories that a visual artist can use, among which the more popular and widely accepted ones are those devised by Munsell, Ostwald, Chevreul, Rood and Prang.
a. Prang System - This is the system taught in most schools, and often a student does not even know about any other system, unless he chooses to study art or design, or related professions. It is popular because of its simplicity, and its failings can be easily overlooked for school-level art education.
The Prang system has three primary colours: red, yellow and blue. These colours are basic; no other colours can be combined to make them. Primary colours are mixed together to form secondary colours - like orange, green and violet can be mixed together to form intermediate colours - red-orange, blue-violet, yellow-green, blue-green, red-violet and yellow-orange. The primary colours, in a highly saturated form, mixed in combination with black and white will produce an incredible number of different colours, considered as the tertiary colours. However, though these three colours produce all other hues, the hues tend to be weaker, greyer or muddier. For this reason and because the Prang system has never been systematized, the Munsell system finds more acceptance.
b. Munsell System - This system is composed of five principal hues: red, yellow, green, blue and purple. Their interactions form the next level of colours - yellow-red, green-yellow, blue-green, purple-blue and red-purple. In this system, the three colours are quantified so that each specific hue can be correctly identified.
The value of a colour is identified on a scale of 0/ (absolute black) to 10/ (absolute white) with nine visually equal steps between. The symbol 5/ is used to indicate middle grey and all chromatic colours appear halfway in value between absolute black and absolute white. The chroma numeral indicates the degree of departure of a specific hue from a neutral grey of the same value. These numerals range from /0 (neutral grey) to /10, /12, /14, or further, depending on the saturation of the colour.
The complete Munsell notation for a chromatic colour is written as HV/C. A red commonly called vermilion would thus be written 5R5/14. The notation for an achromatic colour is written as 5R/14. The notation for an achromatic colour is written as NV/; a middle grey would be N5/. However, light yellowish grey would need a more precise classification, N8/(Y, 0.2). It is essential in industry that a colour system be used in order to ensure an accurate colour representation from design to manufacture.
c. Ostwald System - This colour theory has four fundamental colours: yellow, red, blue and sea green. These are mixed to create orange, purple, turquoise and leaf green colours. The colour chart is arranged according to the principle that any two colours mixed in equal parts will generate the colour located exactly between them. A hue number is given for each principle colour step, 1 through 24. Ostwald also quantified value in terms of the percentage of black and white contained in the colour. Any colour, with the exception of fully saturated colour, could be described as consisting of a pure hue, white, and black. In practice, most colours do contain a portion of achromatic colour in addition to the pure, fully saturated hue.
The essence of the Ostwald system is to be able to create colour harmony by arriving at colours that have the system hue, black, and white content.
d. Four-colour process - The final major theory is a variation of the Prang colourant system and is mentioned here only because of its importance to future graphic designers and photographers. The four-colour process is actually composed of three primary colours: cyan, magenta, and yellow. The secondary colours are made as follows: magenta plus cyan produces blue; cyan plus yellow produces green; yellow plus magenta produces red. If you mix cyan, magenta, and yellow, you produce black, which is the fourth colour used in the four-colour printing process.

Talking to myself
You cannot give when you do not have. So (1) have a BIG HEART- to spread the revolution of LOVE- to care for others. And (2) don't label a person base on what you see. Reach out- spread the invitation.Every promise of God is good. So give up your small ambitions. Serve God. Be faithful and practice His teachings religiously... Hey! because you are bound to be a blessing to everyone.

Getting to Know an Architect
Philip Johnson (1979)
The practice of architecture is the most delightful of all pursuit... next to agriculture, it is the most necessary to man. One must eat, one must have shelter.
no new society without new kinds of building
A building for people, people other than oneself, who can rejoice together over the creation.
whole civilization are remembered by their building... The art of architecture is the only human activity that can produce that miracle. (Teotihuacan in Mexico)
We eschew old- fashioned words like God, soul, aesthetic, glory, monumentality, beauty. We like practical words like cost- effective, businesslike, profitable.
arc longa vita brevis
Values can change.
We can, if we but will; architecture, as in all the world's history, could be the art that saves.
In this century alone, we have Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier, Lutvens Mies van der Rohe, and our young architects may be better than them.
the art of architecture, the art we used to call the mother of the arts

History always tell something I- we forgot. It's worthy to sometimes open and visit the ideas that time compiled and saved - for us- to sit, understand and be move.
Reading and searching about him stroke me (one's again). In his time, he saw how the majority neglect the meaning of an honest creation- work- service. It's because man always go on what is feasible in their minds. It's all set...
At present, see- it's difficult to put into words, to find simple phrases just to explain what is architecture, the work of an architect or even why I'm or you practice it... only for them to accept and understand.
But like what PJ believed, everything can be save!
Just TRUST US^^
And like P-Noy said, kayo ang boss ko- namin.
We want to make sure that everyone is safe, comfortable and happy. And behind all our works, it is you that is on our minds- hearts- who keep us moving... drawing.
