“Young cat, if you keep your eyes open enough, oh, the stuff you would learn. The most wonderful stuff.” - Dr. Seuss

Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally -- a cleaner, fresher, more "grown-up" look ((Well I am 36 y.o. after all)). And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout's narrow posting area that I can't get over how roomy this is. :) But what exactly happened, you ...

All that we are, all we do is here forever.

Just in case you heard rumors about it through the extremely tiny Metro Manila grapevine, please allow us to finally confirm that yes, it's true: Unitel Productions acquired the film rights to Arn's 2006 graphic novel "Ang Mundo ni Andong Agimat". We couldn't announce it formally ((Although of course family ...

Can you feel it? (Turn up your stereo!)

I have a confession to make: ever since Twitter invaded my life, I've been too lazy to update the normal way. But rather than let this webspace go to waste ((And yes, it's been paid for til the end of the year.)), here's one big fat update coming up. So ...

Everyone around me is a total stranger.

Non-trad ad for The Yoga Center. . In Non-traditional Advertising, ads are strategically positioned in the most unexpected places e.g. the sidewalk, a manhole cover, and as in the brilliant ((It's so simple, it makes you go "why didn't I think of that?")) example above, a straw. The trick is in fusing ...

That day will come, when everybody is a number one.

One of the questions I often get asked is "who are the graphic designers you admire?" It's quite a list actually so I hope you have time because I'm gonna take you through it right now. *** David Carson. He was the Nirvana and Pearl Jam of the visual movement in the ...

Everyone keeps asking, what’s it all about?

Yahoo, the Wedding Essentials team's newest baby, Beautiful Weddings 2006, will be available at all leading bookstores and mag stands starting this week. So, just what is Beautiful Weddings? It's a collection of wonderfully inspiring stories celebrating beautiful beginnings by real brides and will be sold for only Php 120.00 - ...

‘We missed you’ hissed the…

A couple of years ago, I made a mom-and-baby cat illustration for a book that never happened for some reason or other. I found it again while spring-cleaning my hard drive and thought, why not put it to good use? So if you love cats, red tabbies in particular, and [a] ...

Find the outline, things will tell you their name.

Finally I can show you some stuff my Arn has been working on these past few weeks. These four albums from SonyBMG are just the first batch of a series of 2-in-1 cds that feature the music of 90s bands like Yano, Sugar Hiccup, Sandwich and Color it Red. Don't mistake ...

Today’s the day that all the world will see.

Guess what, this blog is turning 5 years old by the end of the month! To mark this milestone (well it is for me, anyway), I've decided to turn the substance factor up a notch and post more graphic design-related entries*. And by that I don't mean sitting idly and ...

Another year wiser…

So how have you been? Me? I was neck deep in work and more importantly, in offline life, since the last time I blogged: 1. Arn and I had new water pipes installed in our home. The original pipes were more than 20 years old and one of them had leaked, ...

Hello again, it’s me.

Wow, in four days it will be a year since I last updated this blog! Where did the time go? I don't even know what to write about here anymore. *sheepish grin* There are actually TWO things that prompted me to post an update. 1) A conversation I had with my friend ...

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

Okay, that's not entirely true ((the subject heading, I mean. It's a song lyric like always)) -- a lot has happened since my last update. I've quite forgotten how to write blog posts so allow me to do it in bullets. * My husband Arnold Arre is Powerbooks' Author of ...

You made me like it more and more

My husband Arnold's latest graphic novel, Martial Law Babies will finally be out in stores next week. Hope you can check out the fully-packed site which features a synopsis, preview pages, online ordering info (coming soon), and notes by Arn on how he came up with the idea to write ...
