Rat-a-too-ee

Watched ratatouille a while ago. It was ok :D, not as good as i thought it would be but good enough.

From drab to fab!!!!

Ok, i cannot sleep. Heroes completely changed my body clock so nowadays, i sleep from 6am to 4pm. So now since i have to kill time i'll blog.

Anyway, I've realized that its been more than a year since I first arrived here sa U.S. of A. I've learned that quality dapat ang priority when it comes to things.

Cool Architectural Thingees:

1. Drafting Powder aka Pounce. Powdered gum erasers in a mesh fabric pad that gently removes dirt and smudges from drafting media without abrading the surface. My bestest best friend. Before using it felt kind of weird because the eraser pieces would stick to my arms. Before you draw in pencil, you sprinkle it on your paper, then you draw while the pounce is there. Its so GREAT. While you move your triangle over your drawing it wont make it dirty. It sweeps off the graphite so you're left with a clean and crisp drawing.

2. Drafting Dots- Actually, this is for convenience. But normal masking tape would do.

3. Drafting brush. Need i say more.

4. Lead Holder and Lead- Before i would use HB lead a lot. But I hate it now. Professors would tell us that only H pencils produce clean drawings. I did not listen at first haha. Its true. 4h is the best lead although you always need to sharpen it to produce clean lines. Reminder!!! Always roll your pencil while making a line. Oh and mechanical pencils leaves smudges since it tends to produce lead powder while you draw.

5. Adjustable Triangle- Super easier and convenient if you love doing those hatch lines.
6. Technical Pens- Omg. I remember when we had our first major plate, i used pens instead of pencils (pasaway) since i really wanted to use the set that i bought. It turned out to be good on my part, the professors were teasing me about being the "daring hulk". hahahaha. It's easier to use these because with pens, you dont need to control your hand anymore. You dont need to press harder or go over anything twice. While for pencils, if you want it to pop you have to sharpen and press.

7. Technical Pen eraser- This brand is the best(for the eraser). Its will not put a hole on your paper and it erases fast. Good for tracing paper. Not the (i dont know how you call it) "hopia" ones. Electric erasers are the best too.

8. Borco or Vyco- It's a vinyl cover. Good to draw on.

9. White out- Ok the Cooper Union thing. My professor told us that when they were students, they were taught to do this. In one of our projects, when we were asked to draw the interior of our model. We also had to draw a front elevation of the model. We drew the front elevation in hopia paper and then we ran white out at the back of the drawing. Then when we put the two drawings together and you could really see the drawings pop out.

Random Stuff:

1. A bath is different from a shower. How you may ask? Bath is when you use a bathtub large enough, having been filled with water, to permit a person to immerse his or her body therein for the purposes of washing and/or relaxation. A shower naman is a process of bathing by application of sprayed water upon the body.

Before kasi i used to say to my studiomates, " Ok, I think I'm going to go back to my dorm and take a bath." and they would say " What? I thought Pantas (my dorm) only had showers? You have a tub? "

2. Oh my God. I cannot get over this one, haha Pickles come from cucumbers. Now that i think about it I feel so stupid. But hey they taste so different.

3. San Disk flash drives are the best! Wohoo after we saw Michael Scofield's micro cruzer all of us bought one. It's really cool.

4. Bose earphones :D

5. Logitech cordless mouse! wohooooo

6. VLC Media Player and Bitlord.

Anyhooo that's about it. Okay totally unrelated stuff but while I was typing this I could not help but think of the word SHABBY CHIC. Instantly i thought of Gabo and the Jacket of one of my former blockmates. hahahahahaha ;D omg. Memories.
