Me: *scrolling through tiktok and giggling at memes*

My cousin: "Ate, the more I look at you, the more I realize you're never getting a boyfriend. You look happy just by doomscrolling."

I've been receiving suggestions from people like, "Get a Bob, get a bob."

I'm gonna hold your hand when I tell you that I have gotten a bob. I even got a pixie and a mullet. I've dyed my hair ombre in purple, green, red, and a crusty yellow blonde. I even went crazy and had my whole hair blonde. I had Jellyfish hair. I rebonded my hair for the rest of my high school. I've basically tried everything a salon has to offer. The only hair I haven't tried is a healthy, natural brunette hair that's 24 inches long.

If I go for a bob during this time, you need to call a shrink for me :)

Someone told me that if I tried, I can be really influential.

But I'm not gonna put myself in that position. It's chaos out there. People expect you to make perfect decisions all the time and that's a tall order, especially if it came from people you personally don't know and personally doesn't know you. People are hypocrites. Make one wrong move and they'll burn you at the stake. Do good and it still wouldn't be enough.

So, no. I prefer doing everything all in silence.

I've put up mementos on my wall earlier at 3 am because I had a sudden creative outburst 😀

I'm not one to stereotype, but this is so "typical-engineer-ego".

I have been working with my tita (She has a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering) these past couple of months in building and designing her house. We've had prior issues na before pa ito. She degraded my design by asking me to change it into something old-school, like a typical mid-cost housing in the Philippines. I mean, gagastos na din siya ng pera, why not make it better? Hindi naman gagalaw yung budget niya sa design and materials na pinropose ko. Ganun parin. Pero mas tgusto niya yung pangit na design that costs almost the same. For context, here's the initial design (left) and the final design (right):

I let this go kasi siya ang owner eh. And as a professional, I respect my client, all the more towards her because we're family. But it didn't end there.

My tito, her eldest brother, was also an undergraduate of Civil Engineering. Sa floor plan wala naman kaming problema ng tita. She approved my floor plan layout. Tapos one night, nagulat ako kasi bigla na lang sinabi sakin na i-revise ko yung floor plan for blueprint kasi pinalitan daw ng tito ko. I MEAN, HOW UNETHICAL. Papalitan mo floor plan ko without consulting me? tapos sinira mo pa yung proper circulation ng buong bahay and column alignments. tapos sasabihin niyo sakin kayang gumawa ng Engineers ng Floor Plan and pwedeng sila na lang pumirma ng Architecturals? context: floor plan on the left is mine, floor plan on the right is my tito's

When will this stigma end? ang simple lang naman eh. Design = Architects Build = Engineers R.A. 9266!!!!!

Eh kung sabihin ko sakanilang kayang mag design at pumirma ng Architects sa structurals kasi part ng curriculum namin yun and entitled kami? Hindi yun pwede, pero for the sake of giving them a taste of their own medicine. Syempre di kakayanin ng ego nila.

At risk na nga yung profession namin because of AI tapos gaganiyan-ganiyan pa kayo.

Architects are for aesthetics lang? Let's see you design a house with proper space distribution according to the sun's orientation. Let's see you analyze how to allow the house to breathe natural air and be fed natural lighting. It takes more than aesthetics to be able to do what an architect does. I hope Engineers makes an effort to understand this. At this point, Slater Young is the only engineer I respect.

My cousin recently told me that my wardrobe looks sad because I only wear blacks, whites, and greys (she has Glinda aesthetic). 🙂
