Pencil Background

Leave a comment Posted by on August 26, 2017

They’ve even thought of making pencil no. 2 as background for jeepney route sign. So I’m leaving it here for posterity’s sake, before they start to gentrify jeepneys. I’m not optimistic at all if the government’s plan for jeepney modernization program shall be able to retain the masa art.

Magazine cut-outs as my own way of commemorating Pi Day

Let’s all take a moment to reflect that today, March 14, 2015, is an ultimate Pi Day. In relation to this, I remember back in college that I always have more affection for radians than degrees.

Happy Pi Day!

Interestingly, every Pi Day is also Albert Einstein’s birthday. He should have seen his awesome sculpture in Washington DC.
