One random afternoon while I was browsing one of my favorite bands' YouTube channel, I came across a video they made while they were on tour. It was a compilation of one second clips from different places filled with different people and different emotions. The video was very one of a kind and while watching the video, never have I imagined that I will be creating one myself. 

Days before starting school as a senior college student, I've been having weird dreams. Weird dreams that I can hardly remember the moment I wake up. The morning exactly the day before classes, I woke up and instantly thought about the one second everyday video I mentioned earlier by one of my favorite bands. I have no idea why but it certainly gave me an idea to create the project myself for my senior year of college.

Becoming a senior college student was super exciting and scary at the same time (as cliché as it may sound) I honestly had a hard time filming because I was contemplating if I was going to graduate on time or not; since dealing with thesis was absolutely a pain in the behind. But here you go! A compilation of my life during my last year as a college student. Editing this video was definitely bittersweet. I definitely miss the view of the university from the 7th floor of our Beato building, the food around PNoval, the cats that appear randomly at the pavillions, the library, the carpark, and most especially my college friends.

I’ve been a big fan of watching DIY tutorial videos on YouTube and always thought and daydreamed of creating those kinds of videos myself. Weeks ago, I finally had time to film and edit; so, before the year ends I can fulfill one of my goals. This is my first ever DIY tutorial on my YouTube channel and hopefully not the last! I have a notebook filled with future DIY video ideas and I really hope I’ll accomplish them all :) 

Recently, our block planned a Christmas costume party and I honestly had no idea what to wear. I really wanted a Scream Queens-inspired costume (I am so obsessed with the show!!!) but I find these faux fur coats from H&M, Zara and the like really expensive. To think that I’ll just wear the faux fur coat during the party, I really don’t want to spend thousands for it.

Another day, another artwork. This is the first fashion illustration that I posted for The Art Diary Series. Honestly, I would always have a hard time with fashion illustration mainly because I still have no idea what my art style is. I don't even have the proper art materials. I just use random sabog brushes that I see here at home. I really hope before the year ends, I'll finally have an aesthetic for all of my artworks. I want to produce artworks wherein people would know that I made them. Hope you enjoy episode 6 xx

I've been updating my YouTube channel and I actually have a list of people that I'll be drawing for my upcoming episodes for The Art Diary Series :) For episode five, I decided draw the beautiful Kendall Jenner. I love her look during the Givenchy Spring 2016 Menswear show! I have a lot of plans for my channel. Besides continuing The Art Diary Series, I want to start making D.I.Y videos also! Will definitely find time to create one soon. Please subscribe to my channel! x

These days, I find it so hard to film because I have to prioritize school works (plates, researches, and the like) But one of my goals this year is to really focus on updating my YouTube channel and fill it up with videos! For the fourth episode of The Art Diary, I chose the selfie queen -- Kylie Jenner. I had a hard time on choosing what photo should I paint since she has like over a million photos posted online!

I was honestly not expecting to go to this year's Preview Ball that is why when I received a direct message from StyleBible on Twitter, I was surprised. I had mixed emotions because I am a big fan of Preview Magazine ever since and I always admire their anniversary issues but also I have no idea on what to wear since the theme of this year's best dressed ball is Skin City (eeep!)

It’s always exciting seeing the creations of local designers here in the Philippines. It makes me feel even more inspired to achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a designer myself. I have a long way to go but I will truly work hard to achieve my dream. This year, I had an opportunity to experience Philippine Fashion Week again. I’ve been going ever since 2009. One day, hopefully I will go there as a designer (fingers crossed!) 

                   

A year ago, I started making a speed up video of myself painting. It was very challenging to film it back then because I was just using my iPod Touch with no tripod or anything, so I decided to just sit on the floor while doing the artwork and place my iPod on top of an open drawer. I really had a hard time filming but I still had fun. I was certain that I will be creating more speed up painting videos and put it up on my YouTube channel but when school started, it was kind of impossible with all the plates (disadvantage of being a fine arts student). 

The moment I knew I was going to Wanderland, I got very excited to search for outfits perfect for a music festival. The weather here in the Philippines is a bit bipolar... you can wake up to a very sunny morning to a very stormy afternoon. So, I played safe and wore a dress. My first choice was a black version of this mesh skater dress from Tomato but I think white is more suitable for the music festival like Wanderland.

I love watching tutorials on YouTube especially when it's related to fashion. Sometimes, I also watch make-up tutorials since my sister is one of the most talented Filipina make-up gurus (check out her YouTube channel) and because the tutorials of the make-up gurus like Michelle Phan, ItsJudyTime, MacBarbie07 and ScarlettRoseTurner are so addictive! :)
