Classroom Lesson and Real Life Lesson # 1
Today's class: Color Rendering 1
Lesson # 1: Flatwash
Looks pretty simple, eh? Not quite. Before, I really had a problem because when I would use watercolor to color in, say, a big section of a wall, it would all be streaky and the color wouldn't be evenly distributed on the wall. It turns out that there's a certain way of doing it, and that's what our professor showed us during this morning's demonstration. Ang galing, it was like a magic! Hehehe. Ganon pala 'yon. I'm in the middle of doing my homework right now. It has just the right balance of difficulty and enjoyability in it, which is great!
Oh, the other day, I went on my first ever ocular visit to a friend's house to look at his room. It'll be a collaborative design project with two of my good friends, Meg and Kaye. In terms of design experience, they're way ahead of me. Kaye will be an Interior Design graduate in a few months, while Meg finished her Industrial Design degree last year. So hopefully, they'll take the lead when it comes to the more technical stuff and I'll just do my best with what I know so far. I'm really excited about this project. I hope to learn a lot, and of course, design a really cool room. Here's one section of it:
That's Joseph, our client. His room has a great view of the Ortigas area and a perfect view of the sunset each day. His room has potential...I hope we get to maximize it with our design. Wish us luck!

What's Inside My Case
Today, January 8, 2007, is a special day. First, it's someone's anniversary. Yihee. Second, it's the 4th season premiere of one of my favorite TV shows. And third, it's the first day of my 3rd term at Interior Design school!
In just a few hours, I'll be on my way to school for the first time on this new year. What to expect? Well, I have five subjects this term, as opposed to last term's four. That just means one thing: A more sleep-deprived Misty! Besides not functioning all too well on only a couple of hours of sleep, I really, really, really hate the eye bags! I look terrible. Does anyone know of a good eye cream or any remedy to combat those fugly dark circles under the eyes? Ahh, vanity.
Of course, in all my O.C.-ness and in preparation for later, I cleaned out my dusty and grimy pencil case and all its contents. I love Magic Eraser! It cleans everything, even those sticky stuff from the back of stickers. Besides using it on my pencil case, I also use it to clean my iBook and drafting board. It's really great for hard-to-remove stains. You can buy it at most hardware stores. Anyway, here's a peek into my pencil case:
It contains the following items:
Several Staedtler pencils in different shades
Metallic pens in Silver and Gold
Kokuyo Cutter
Fan Scale
A couple of clutch pencils
Rotring Isograph pens in .01, .03, and .05
Artline pens in .03 and .05
Mechanical pencil
Lead refills for clutch pencils
Clutch pencil sharpener
Kneaded Eraser
Regular Eraser
Masking tape (not shown)
I really should call it my pencil-and-others case. I love it because it holds a lot, and because I cute-ified it with nice stickers!
Anyway, I should really be sleeping now. I promise to post more often. See you soon!
