the first photo was a recent present from Michelle and Mark! ♥ i soo love it and didn't even expect to receive one. :) THANKS! hihi
the cutest and biggest of them all so far! hahaha

Im really bored so i thought of bogging this. hehe So these are just some of my notebooks, didn't get to have a photo of everything coz it is too many already T_T since i was a kid, i got fascinated with notebooks and love those with pockets in it where i can slip in "secret stuffs" daw. 

They are too cute that most of them still has blank pages! :D

If others go gaga over clothes, shoes and bags.. me? I go gaga for notebooks! cuhraaazy! hehe..

furni.experience

was this two years ago? I was in my second year college that we are required to enroll on a furniture design class. Luckily, we are to join the annual furniture exhibit that is held at Waterfront Lahug, Cebu. But first, we have to submit designs, for the teachers and the furniture companies to evaluate of who can do an apprenticeship to huge furniture companies here in Cebu :D The fortunate 12 was selected and im glad i was one. weeeee :D 
So I was an apprentice at Pacific Traders Manufacturing and Corp. It is a very great learning experience coz i got the chance to do hands on and witness of how a furniture is manufactured.

First, i have to submit designs to the bosses hehe, sir astek and mdm. bernice. They have taught me a lot!!!
As usual, not all designs can be accepted directly. I have a lot of sketches that were rejected! YES! ahaha then finally, a design has accepted - at last! so i have to draw it with its proper dimensions and all, but one thing i can't forget is when i was making a FULL SCALE of the design - random diameter of hoops! I got sick when i got home. :'(

so here's the studying of design. these are small coiled rattan 


cute rattan hoops :P

 crocheting a faux leather with a cotton twine in it. Well, I didn't use this material. :P

and at last! the fabrication of the furnitre :)
they call this "jig" - it is followed from the full size I made. It is actually a pattern with the use of spare blocks so that the rattan can follow its form.
Rattan is heated up so that it bends 

almost done with assembling  :D
sir astek is making some corrections :O

i didn't get to have photos when it was cleaned and painted... so this is the final product.
the thing i used at its back, is a crocheted twine cotton that is dyed with yellow. - i have to do it since it is customized. whew! got really really tired making that! :O The seat cushion is upholstered with a purple suede velvet. Also, this thing swivels.. just to add up FUN! :D
USC and UPcebu for the student category

 I named my furniture ASPRONA, i know it sound weird but it is a combination of my father and mother's name :) i surprised them :3 heheh
