Wow...currently sitting in the office and staring into space.  We are required to have office work for the rest of the month and it's irritating me because I'm not doing anything...well, nothing much.  I was just reading some online comics and once in a while checking my officemates who're all bored and sick of just...well...staring.  

And yeah,  it's been like this since  yesterday....I was not doing much...and that I've already planned for the events in 2012, I decided to walk about the mall and check things out.  BAD IDEA.  People are like...ANTS here.  ANTS drawn to this TREASURE MOUND OF SWEETS!  People are rushing here and there and my feet led me to the groceries.  I started getting hungry seeing people eat and eat and eat...  I decided to buy something before going back to the office.  I bought RICE CRACKERS - ONE-ONE from Monde.  And yeah, soon enough...I got addicted.  Now, RIGHT NOW...beside me is a pack of ONE-ONE Rice Crackers~

New Years Resolution No 1. - GET RID OF HOLIDAY FATS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND GOD BLESS!

Hi to everyone!  I'll just post an interview by a friend months ago...  It's all about me...and because I don't want to keep on yakking~  XD  This is it:

GENDER: Female
HEIGHT: 5'6"

ALL ABOUT SHIN:

           Shin loves to read manga and watch anime in her spare time.  She started writing at a very young age and realized that writing is something she can't live without.  One of her most depressing memories was loosing all her written works in highschool because her computer crashed and she said she is so dumb back then to not create back-ups.  It was fated, she said.  

Graduated in The University of St. La Salle and opting to finish a course for the shallow reason of:

"The course has no board exams and minimal MATH subjects!  What more can I ask for?"

Shin never really imagined herself being thrown into the world of the ARTS.  For some reason, she thought she'd end up as a flight attendant <--- which she planned on back when she was in Highschool.  

Shin indeed was placed in the ARTS but didn't start as a writer or a mangaka at all.  She was thrown into the art of costume designing, worked in a national TV network and did several cameos in a Filipino Fantaserye (no kidding).  She was surrounded by film-makers and the like.  In fact, one of her mentors is the great Peque Gallaga who is not only a teacher but a great friend.  

"Direk Peque is cool.  A lot of people think he's very strict...but you know, HE IS with good reason at that.  But I love the way he pushes me (not that  I'm a masochist..haha...) to my limits and squeezes all the artistic juices off my head.  He's one of the people that molded me into who I am today...and probably molded a lot of other great artists.  I think, without him, I'd be a bit lost and I wouldn't have found the courage to take pride in what I do."  Shin shared.  "Direk always believes that we Filipinos can soar high and we must love our culture.  We must love our home.  I think this is the most important thing direk taught me - to love who we are...where we live and to share it to the world."

Shin did a couple of exhibits and one of them was held in the National Museum (Manila).  She is an Installation Artist...not by choice, she reminded me but loved the opportunity all the same.  The experience taught her so much about being an artist, the influences that an artist can exude and that  it made her realize how important CULTURE is to us all.   

"I wanted to be close to my family.  Sure, I got what everyone wants (a great paying job P2,500/day)...but it's never what you thought it's going to be."  Shin explained.  "People want to reach for their dreams thinking that it's the BEST of the BEST and that they know they'll love it.  Some might have the determination to cling to that dream despite the sacrifice but it doesn't turn out that way for everyone.  When I got my dream of being in a national studio, I was happy.  But when I continued living the dream for months...I slowly realize what's more important."

To make her KOMIKS-AWAKENING Story short, she came back from Manila to work in a regular job with regular pay.  She did a couple of jobs from being a tour guide, being a farmer, freelance costume coordinator for indie films, freelance artist, accounting personnel (wild card) and finally, an Event Manager.  She then met Shida and Kouyuki in an event she organized and they hit it off.    

"It's not about how good you plan your life to be."  Shin chuckled.  "The more you plan your life, the more you'll be disappointed.  But yeah, go on and plan your life...that's what we are expected to do, of course.  I think it's instinct...you know - to survive.  But always leave some space for adjustments.  You'll never really know what's in store for you.  We might hate to admit it but we're not in control of our lives.  I used to love thinking that I AM IN CONTROL...but I sure did learn the hard way."

SHIN loves humor.  She told me that without it, she'd probably go insane.  She's mischievous and often times misunderstood as very intimidating because once she knows you, she's going to go beyond the boundaries regardless your permission.  Take for example this drawing she made of Shida Shinpan-sama.  At first she thought it was funny, but then again...she became a bit worried that Shida-kun might not have liked the idea of him...as a girl...wearing a bikini.  She did it anyway~

SHIN's favorite mischief victim is Jay Wong (Head Sketch).  Jay is also her bestfriend since Nursery.  There was once a time when Shin texted Jay out of boredom.  She texted, "Jay, this is Shin's mom.  Shin is currently in the ICU.  She was hit by a car and broke her spinal column.  Please pray for her."  Jay, being the bestfriend that she is immediately texted their BATCH in highschool to pray for Shin...who texted her the next day, "Hey, you got my message?  Pretty funny, huh?"  By then, Shin told me that Jay was fuming and that Jay texted back all the other friends about the GAG.

Any LAST WORDS?
     
"I'll leave y'all with an excerpt from one of my poems...*clears throat...  -- LIVE OR DIE, DIE TO LIVE IT'S A DILEMMA ALL IN ALL --- DO WE CHOOSE TO FLY IN THIS LIFE OR DO WE CHOOSE TO FALL. --  With that said, I rest my case."
