I love you Ma and Ba. You would be proud of me this semester. I want to go home to be with you, but I have summer school right after… And I don’t want to spend any more of your money to be home for 5 days when you already pay for my education, rent, and food.

wait you transferred from usc to berkeley?

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:06:26 -0700

Yeeeuupp. I lowkey miss USC here and there though :(

as far as morality, poetry, art, and the perceptions of ourselves and others, why is the world so inexact? lol that was just to set the context/atmosphere XD i just mean how do you deal with uncertainty?

Sat, 11 May 2013 19:06:02 -0700

I guess it’s because humans all around the world vary so much in background and therefore form different opinions, it causes the world to be inexact? Haha, I just prepare for every single situation that could go wrong in my head so when something highly unexpected happens… I have a solution for it! :]

Your artwork is amazing ! What kind of markers do you use ?

Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:52:06 -0800

Aww thank you! I always use Copic markers and an occasional Prismacolor marker; although I haven’t touched my markers in about two years… so sad :(

Art 8 Final - Perception, Phenomena, Entropy, Spirituality

There was a lot of misunderstanding with the idea behind this art piece during my critique. A lot of my fellow students were distracted by the fact that there were not 1000 cranes, but that was meant to be on purpose to illustrate my goals and dreams—I have not yet accomplished them, nor am I close. I have a lifetime to fulfill them, and the lights (“spirits”) are what encourages me to continue living and aspire to achieve my dreams.

haha (replying to your blogpost since I can't seem to comment on your blogspot) do you know I still shoot JPEG and edit in JPEG? d:

That’s reaaasonabllee! I do too sometimes hehe! But in dark night time photos it’s hard to change the settings so the subjects could be illuminated without making everything too grainy :[ SAD LYFE.

what is your favorite thing about your school?

Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:59:18 -0700

The amount of political awareness and student activism on campus is my absolute favorite aspect about Berkeley. It’s over 9000! That is what won my heart over :)

Identity project outtake ii. Conformation.

Fleeting innocence vs. tainted maturation of college life. Dream vs. reality. Me vs. them. The previous outtake and this one are opposites of each other.

Art 8’s first project: Identity

This is an outtake that I didn’t display in class. For my installation, I used a series of pictures that displayed light movement. But I particularly enjoyed this shot a lot.

[Thanks Steven for being my lovely assistant!]

“And I prefer san serifs. And everybody was using Helvetica, and it’s one of the typefaces that I absolutely detest.
Why is that?
It’s totally authoritative. It, in fact, does not adapt itself to things. And all information that comes out in Helvetica is saying exactly the same thing. It’s telling you that this is cultural, intellectual, or intelligent, so I found a typeface that I like which was Franklin Gothic Condensed. It reminded me of the working-class Dutch letters that I’m intrigued by.”

“Up&Down”

1 minute impromptu statue pose using only the items you brought to class. Tiff wanted to do an ‘Up’ theme so we took my water bottle and stabbed a bunch of holes and stuck my colorful pens on it. She represents the carefree life while I symbolize the stressed out life by holding my coffee cup. LOL it was a fun impromptu (:

I’m currently taking Art 8 which is the introduction to visual thinking, so there’s not going to be a lot of physical art progress. But I’ll update related art projects whenever they get assigned!

How do you do your hair? Its so cute! Always so volumous and beautifuul!

Sat, 18 Aug 2012 16:49:46 -0700

Thank youuu (: My hair is thin and easy to style so it’s kind of easy to volumize, but I usually create waves/curls with a straightener. (:

A going away gift for Nhi because she made my summer memorable. ♥

Heeey Girl, you dress up so cute! Where do you shop at?

Mon, 02 Jul 2012 17:41:00 -0700

Haha nahh, I wish I could dress cute! I usually get my clothes from hollister/a&f/gh (I know; so high school and overrated) but I don’t buy any of their “label” clothing. That, and PacSun & Forever21! And an occasional H&M.

Last day of drawing class. Bittersweet; confessed to my art teacher. Lovely professor—wish I knew her more personally. Thank you for your support, displaying my artwork, and having confidence in me. I’ve had fun (and stressful) times in your class.

Miss the art students already…
