Graphika Manila 2013 Submitted Artworks

         

          First, let me just say sorry for not blogging as much as I did last month. It's June, and you know what happens every time it strikes our calendars, that's right, classes....... So, my sophomore year had just started, and it's doing.....shit, actually. First day of school happened  and we did not even have 1 class, heck we didn't even have our own permanent classroom to begin with. Talk about wasting time, effort, and money. It's the second week of classes and still we don't have a single room. The bright side is that, there were lots of new people that I've met.  Majority of them were people who shifted from other courses, some random people, and of course,  freshmen. Subject-wise, we only met 2 professors (Sir Olivar, NS101; Sir Briones, ENG103). That's it, nothing major.

            Okay so last week I convinced my mom to buy an iPad 2 because she was looking for one (she sold her old tablet), and that the price of the iPad 2 was very reasonable (16GB + Wifi costs P18,990 WTF!). So, my mom suggested that we'd go to the mall "just to look" for it. Fortunately, she bought it without hesitation! SO NOW WE HAVE A NEW IPAD. We didn't even dream that we could have that kind of gadget because first of all, we're not that wealthy, and that we have other things to spend our money off. Dream come true? guess so. :')

             And one last thing, there'll be some random stuff that will happen on this blog. I'll introduce 'it' to you guys whenever we're ready to announce it. :)

 
 It has been one week since the concert and I'm still speechless. It was that intense. I'll just post the photos of what happened during that night. I'm damn blessed. Thanks for your love Lady Gaga.

The new Mall of Asia Arena. IT LOOKS BIG.

        2011 was the year of collaborations for Pop Culture Expert / Fashion Designer Jeremy Scott. His designs have been bravely respected by Famous Designers and Popstars alike (Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj, etc.). He first managed to first collaborate with Adidas, which was called "Adidas Originals by Originals". It included his famous "Wing" design that he incorporated in shoes and clothing. It became so successful that Adidas offered him to make another collection, which he again made designs for. After the previous collaboration, Swatch came to him and offered to make watches made entirely out of his recognizable works. 

         Last Sunday, I asked my mom if I could buy a swatch watch since she works there (Main Company in PH). Fortunately she said yes, and told me to start choosing one (we were shopping in trinoma for mother's day). I picked the watch from Jeremy Scott's second collection called "The Swatch Opulence Portrait Watch" (Long name for a watch though haha). I got it today (05/15/12). Such imaginative creativity from Jeremy Scott to create this awesome watch. 

His famous Signature that is printed in every swatch watch.

The "Portrait" image. He's a cartoon! FTW.

The famous "Swatch" case with the watch inside

"Why not put a frame on a work of art? - Jeremy Scott"

The detail of the frame is A+. One heck of an idea. 

          Overall, I fucking love it to death! What better way to commemorate the "Swatch" art than to put a fucking FRAME on it? Brilliance at its best I must say. Kudos to Jeremy Scott for designing this wonderful and Avant Garde watch! I'm gonna be a fan!
