I’m an interior designer and I enjoy fixing homes. I find thrill in turning ordinary rooms into spaces that showcase each inhabitant’s character; each corner must be fit to the likings and lifestyle of the owner. I believe that a functionally designed home is just as vital as eating healthy.
I don’t have my own house yet, but I’m always thinking about my dream home. What I want changes from time to time, because my needs and desires change too.
Here is a list of what I want in my dream home (at the moment, anyway):
- Fully equipped kitchen where I can cook and bake. I miss baking! I also want it to be a place where I can entertain family and friends.
- My own studio filled with lots and lots of office/art/design supplies. I want the room to have big windows that open to a nice view.
- A music studio with good acoustics for JR. =)
- A study with floor to ceiling bookshelves. Plus, I also dream of owning that many books!
- A walk-in closet! Big closet spaces for my clothes, plus floor to ceiling shelves for my shoes and bags.
- A big master bath with a tub (or a jacuzzi, maybe?). It will be the perfect retreat for some relaxation.
- A home theater. I want the room to be equipped with state of the art entertainment systems, complete with soft and comfy sofas to lounge in.
- A play room for my future kids.
- A big garden with water features, plus a small pool where I can relax during a sunny day.
Such a long list, but anyone can dream, right? =P
What about you, what’s your dream home?

I think I’ve lost my touch in interior design. No, let me rephrase that. I think I’m not used to drafting anymore. I’ve been trying to get myself to sit in front of my table since this morning. I need to finish the design perspectives for my presentation tomorrow. I want to make things well and perfect, since this is my first actual project.
I know perfectly well what to do and how to do it. I have my layouts done and ready to go. That’s not the problem. It’s just that every time I try to start, my mind goes blank. My fingers turn numb. My head starts to spin.
My tummy screeming in pain every few minutes doesn’t help either. I loathe PMS with passion. I really do. Sipping my grandma’s delish brewed coffee should help. It better. I can’t afford to waste any more time walking around the house with my hand on my tummy. Or lying in bed, crouched like a baby, mentally cursing mother nature for making me a girl. Haha!
I need to get myself together and focus on getting the perspectives done. I have less than a day to start and finish everything.
Good luck to me and my first project! 8-}

Out of town trips are something that I enjoy quite a lot. Being able to get away from, not just the school work, but also from the hustle and bustle of city life, is such a treat. Emptying your mind from all the worries and just having fun is something everyone must do once and a while.
Heading off to a beach in Zambales with my batch was great last Saturday. The beach itself wasn’t exactly like that of Boracay’s, but being in the company of some wonderful people made everything fun. Talking, laughing and getting to know our batchmates a little bit more was perfect. Somehow, the whole trip bonded the batch a little tighter.
What better way to describe the entire trip, than through pictures, right? So, here you go…
Here are 2 shots of those…

9 months. That’s how long I have left ’til my final exhibit.
9 months and I’ll be done with drafting plates for my classes. 9 months and I’ll finally be free from going to school early in the morning. 9 months and I will graduate and will receive my certificate in Interior Design. Ahh, in 9 months, I’ll be free.
But yes, that also means that I still have 9 months more of sleepless nights. 9 months more of going to school early. 9 months more of endless drafting of plates. 9 months more of gruelling work.
9 months.
I have yet to grasp the reality that I’m actually gonna be done in 9 months. I’ve already prepared myself for all the tiresome work. Things will definitely be a lot harder now that our final exhibit is approaching. Work has already been divided among the different committees and this afternoon we had a meeting for the Annual Committee (one of the two committees that I’m in– the other would be the Construction Committee) for the yearbook.
The work looked harder than I thought it would be, but I’m sure we’ll cope. I, along with another batchmate, have been assigned “Layout and Graphic Designer/Editor.” I’m sure it’ll be a tough job but I’m pretty much ecstatic to get started on it.
Ahh, I can’t wait for that 9 months to pass. I’l finally be free after that. Well, I do have my Minor Subjects to take in Benilde for a year. Then comes the Board Exams. Then it’ll be actual work as an Interior Designer (when I pass the Board, that is).
Err, I guess it doesn’t really end in 9 months. 8-} haha!
Anyway, we were bored in class earlier, so we went and fiddled with my camera…

My teddy wanted to draft too. XP hehe
Isn’t he just adorable? ^^;; LOL!
I was obviously bored! 8-}
