Not an Ordinary Day- It's Better

We opened the doors and windows so he can go out.

Archt. Jo tried to drive him away but I think

he loved more the air-conditioned room rather than

the natural sunny-rainy day outside...

then surprisingly, hala! he wanted to stay

a close up

it would be better if he stayed longer so i took a clearer one

he keep flying- dancing in every corner

We're all surprise on his size!

love his features *crying XP*

We keep complaining on whatever- small or big- motion happening in our lives. Reason why we pass through the good things- delights on our way. So if we only welcome and appreciate the "everyday", we can easily determine the difference of yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Raining but keep on Shining!

Everyday same routine ang ginagawa ko...

Hi-lo there mr. butterfly!

Papasok sa pinto, "Good morning everyone!", kukunin ang upuan, turn on my laptop, hello plan, lunch break, comfort room, hello plan, check the prints etc., hello plan, and yes out na. (keep thinking positive @~@) Nakakasawa? Medyo.

But today, everything changed when I've realized something with the help of our unexpected visitor *butterfly*.

my humble working space

Its been a month and I don't know, parang kahapon lang ako dumating sa offfice. Liban kay kuya/Archt. Jo, wala na akong kilala when I started. And time pass, good thing more than five na rin nakakakilala sa kin dito. From the furniture makers to the boss^^. Funny lang coz Archt. Gabayan keep calling me "May"- Claire po T~T.

Anyway now, kuya Charlie- the foreman- added to my small group of kakwentuhan. At dahil masmarami siyang experience in construction, he's more reliable than me ^^. Ah I forgot, I'm the only girl and I thought madadagdagan pa. Positive account, hindi ako nasisita. The negative, I'm always sitting!

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.

Happy in your smile ^ ^

ne! so eto yun! "happy in your smile" pala ha!

only! urgghh sayang at hindi ko maintindihan ""T~T""

i'll surely discover-know the meaning... then, so next time!

anyway, this plays fun ^^
