10 Sites Project: The Cultural Center of the Philippines and Election Day





Spent the better half of the day patiently trying to remember how to use watercolor. Rendering manually has never been a strong suit for this architect. But that's one of the reasons a friend and I decided to re-do our college plates. I definitely want to get better at it, there's just something about watercolor that's whimsical and fun.


Also this may sound weird but I love the rush of making sure the watercolor doesn't drip or spread too much. :D Next weekend we're doing the UP CARILLION. 



To those of you who may not know, or live in my country, today is Election day, the mid-term one, just for local government officials and senators. So we woke up early to go out and vote.


I may not be the most patriotic or the most politically interested person, but my father greatly influenced and convinced me to register three years ago and to start exercising my right to vote. 


Two elections now and I sort of grasp what the big deal is all about. Voting is important. It's the chance you get to control or influence how the next three or six years will be for your neighborhood, your city and your country. And your bets may not win but taking the time to actually think of what you want for your country and for your fellowmen is a pretty big responsibility. We shouldn't be so passive about government because whether we like it or not, it affects us. So yeah..go out and vote. ^_^

Where did you go this weekend? Any cool places?
