Third Year Second Sem


Tomorrow is the last time I'm ever gonna have to submit anything for third year. I cannot believe it. Afterwards, I am going to breathe. And escape to Capiz for a whole week!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! But before that, I really want to take a moment to let things sink in. Third. Year. Is. Over.


:)

That's my favorite team and our amazing professor in the photo above. MLK and Sir Joson. Along with my amazing final plate partner and good friend, Raisa, they played a giant part of this sem. I am super duper grateful, huhuhu.


For the first plate, Mico, Lance and I (MLK haha so creative) designed a 5 star business hotel called The Orient. We loved our giant twisted building with all our hearts huhu. Although they're probably the two most sabaw people in the batch, they're two of the most talented arki students I've ever worked with........ naks. ok. bye.


And here's our final plate. The Caticlan Internal Airport. :) I think Raisa and I super loved working on this because of how much we both learned in the process hihihi. Legit. We forced Photoshop, CAD and Sketchup down our throats in maybe just a week in order to come up with the 20x30 PDF boards that Sir Joson required. In the end though, we legit happy. We could have done better, as is always the case, but, I think we were pretty happy. Huhuhuhu yay. Below are some detail photos the model.






Note: Everything looks better in black and white! That's why... yeah.

Anyway, this sem really pushed me to my breaking point. Twice, if I'm not mistaken. But according to my wonderful Legally Blonde mantra...

"Even if I crash and burn ten times a day, I think I'm here to stay. I'm gonna find my way." :)

Here's to junior year...
and our our week-long, post-sem celebration at the beach!

Love, Kara

Happy Weekend: Day Two


1. My Saturday started off with the last event for JMA KIDS: our long awaited food session! :) We taught them to make pizza rolls and graham balls. They enjoyed a lot and the day ended with everyone happily tired but, really fulfilled. 

2. I dated myself at Third Cup Cafe afterwards. Needed it. I had around two hours for myself. Felt great.


3. At around 2pm, my friend Tim picked me up and, for the second time, we went to Wanderland. Haha. Pretty good day. I painted a twig!!

My ultimate favorites were Lewis Watson, BP Valenzuela, Augustana and... okay fine... Kid Cudi was alright. Hahaha. Although I didn't understand a word he said! Haha.


3. The night ended with these two. Carla and Nigel. Plus Carla's cousin Ren. And out of nowhere, we went to ADHOC to support our org, haha. In our Wanderland getups, we marched into the SMX convention center and spent the next hour enjoying and saying hi to the world, despite how tired we all were, and we finally headed home at around 2am. I think. Haha.

And although today didn't turn out as great as I had hoped, there is... hope. Haha. Today, I will work hard. Or at least try to. After the last past two days, I think I'm left with no choice. Haha. But, ok fine. Time to hit to drawing board!

Have a pleasant Sunday evening!
