Big red dragons danced to the beat of the percussion. It was a little chase in the narrow streets of Manila. They swung and swivelled, tossed and whirled by young men in yellow shirts and red pants. They each followed a ball, likewise carried by young men. Cars and pedestrians waited patiently to take their turn to cross the roads. People stuck in the slow traffic watched as the mythical creatures came to life.  A team of Filipino-Chinese held a tarpaulin while walking ahead of the dragons. It said "Happy New Year, Kung Hei Fat Choi!"

A few blocks away from the center of Binondo, the little China in Manila, the Chinese new year is alive.

Moja!

Before Agnes' "it's so fluffffay!" unicorn, there was a flufffay fur ball we loved. Mojacko.

Now my siblings don't even know who Mojacko is. Fine, even I don't know WHAT he is aside from being an alien fur ball from the planet Moja Moja. He bought with him in a spaceship his siblings Mojari and Mojaru. Plus a friend tin can robot, wazzitsnameagain? Even with cable tv, we still watched the show when we got home after school.

They're so cute, I drew Mojacko using a drawing app in my smartphone.

This drawing's been in my phone for a while now.

And I do remember the archenemy Momoja the ninja! I drew him too!

Oh my childhood!

I also like the closing theme song for this show, "If my lover was an alien." Used to find myself humming its tune.

I want a Mojacko stuffed toy!

The cat WAS sitting beside the bird cage. Yellow bird's mourning the loss of its partner. I think someone forgot to feed the birds.

Hold on there, Tweety!

Shoo cat! Shooooo!

graduate, we gotta graduate...

Last Monday we had our photoshoot for graduation. We had this toga shot, corporate look shot, sablay shot, and creative shot. And boy was it tiring! (and our sablay shots were kinda, sablay. aaagh.)

12-1 sched ended at 7. Sheesh. But it was fun playing around the dressing room with blockmates.

I was ze colorful nerd for the creative shot. 

K5 loves. <3 Let's all graduate together, k. Monday was at the same time, the deadline for the submission of the 2nd draft of the thesis proposal. Haggard look for some of us, but who cares? We're just too happy with the idea of graduating.

After the shoot, it was back to work, back to doing things for us to graduate.
