noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 22:05:45 PST

Day 1
1. Manila to Cebu
2. Touch Down- CnT Lechon
3. Chill at the hotel- meet up with other friends
4. Night life at Cebu- Alchology

Transpo: Big jeeps and cabs (such friendly drivers)
The rest of the journey: Walk (kings and queens of the road)

Cebu Pacific

Hello there Cebu! First stop--- LECHON Prrtutut!!

Happy tummy after eating lechon

And not a F**** was given

Partied til 4:00 am. Walked all the way to the hotel (3k-4k walk) then woke up at 6:00 am for mass.

Day 2
1. The real Sinulog party- PRRRRRTUTUT!!!
2. Mass at Sto. Nino Church
3. Street Party- Face Paint/ Dancing/ Good company

Took the cab from the hotel to Jones street. Then walked in and out of different kinds of crowds just to get to our destination (Sto. Nino Church). All main roads were closed that's why it was hard for us to take the jeep or cab. Burned everything we ate from day 1 until God knows when.

After mass (which was in bisaya), we went straight to the street party. The rain was a blessing, we badly needed water!

Face paint at night and enjoyed the party with friends and new found friends!

Everyone was soaked in water and beer! Wild crowd indeed!

Day 3
1. Bought pasalubongs- danggit/ chicharon/ dried mangoes
2. Bye Cebu!- We'll see each other soon!

After breakfast we checked out of the hotel and bought pasalubongs.

The trip was short but SWEET! Felt like we were there for a week since we've been doing stuff here and there. Definitely will come back next year!

Ayeen so tired, slept while we all waited for our flight back home.

Photos from: Mara, Marielle and Ninz

AWESOME PAINTING IS AWESOME

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 04:40:53 PST

We have huge company painting affixed to the wall along the reception/waiting area of our office. It’s like an enormous where’s Waldo kind of design and it’s quite humorous, so it’s pretty much interesting to stare at whenever you’re bored (because I sometimes do that, well not that I had nothing to do at those times).

Yesterday’s session with the painting was interesting. While I was waiting for someone and killing time, my officemate pointed at a certain part of the canvass.

A wild Darth Vader appeared! Artistry level: AWESOME. How in the world could I ever miss that? I really better get my eyes checked.

LIGHTS GO OUT AND IT CAN'T BE SAVED

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 02 Jan 2012 05:34:52 PST

I have honestly forgotten how to start and end a blog entry, but I’m still pushing through to this post no matter how deconstructed or confusing the plot will be.

Makati is really the place to be during the Christmas season. The lights and decorations are too beautiful and amazing, particularly in Ayala triangle (park). I always pass by the area whenever I leave the office and it’s really mesmerizing, I never thought that lights could be as astonishing as intense pyrotechnics. I immediately told my family about the light show and convinced them to go there before the holiday season ends.

There were a lot of people when my family and I went there (right after Christmas) but it was spacey since the park was big. It was a treat! Such food for the eyes. This was a simple but a very memorable way to celebrate Christmas with the family.

The glowing trees and decorations made me feel like I was in Avatar, I think that was their peg.

Just to be in line with all the pretty lights and Avatar like place, I made a cover of “Electric Feel” by MGMT. Experimented with my new guitar and some effects. I never use minus ones or any downloadable instrumental tracks whenever I record covers. I make all my records from scratch. And now I need a condenser mic :) hope I could get one this year.

Electric Feel- MGMT Cover by Mil Prado

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone, better late than never.

Will also be pursuing the 30 day drawing challenge, so just hang in there.

WELCOME TO EXISTENCE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 12 Dec 2011 07:34:47 PST

I promise I'll make a better version of this song if someone could purchase me a condenser mic. Now you know what I want for Christmas :)

My cheap mic's cheap.

Dare you to move- Switchfoot Cover by Milipede by Mil Prado

SHAMEFUL BUT TRUE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:19:30 PST

This was me awhile ago.

DAY 19- 22

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 08:05:09 PST

Day 19

Something New: "STORIES" All New Tales Edited by Neil Gaiman and Al Sarrantonio. I purchased this book a million years ago and I haven't laid eyes on a single page. It still looks and smells new. I really need to catch up with my other books so I could finally read this one.

Day 20

Something Orange: David Bowie's lightning make-up. Of course. This is ORIGINALITY.

Day 21 and 22

What I Want: Bowler Hat. THIS THING! So hard to find! But if I do I'll prolly go crazy over it.

What I Miss: Futsal. I made this seal after college. This was also the time when they took the girls out from the mix in our school's annual Camacho Cup futsal tournament. I miss the fun and intensity in every game, however, the girls are always here to support the boys. We're still Kathay United anyway.

WHO/WHAT WERE YOU LAST HALLOWEEN?

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 09:11:25 PST

I just found my brother's 13 year old blazer and attached red bias on some parts of the garment.

Warbler?

Seems legit!

Best costume winners, party at Fiamma

RANT

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 01:49:10 PST

PLASTICS. I just want to punch them in the mouth :)

or just high five them... in the face.

IT'S ALIVE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Sun, 30 Oct 2011 07:56:35 PDT

I feel so guilty for leaving this blog entry-less for almost one month. I also feel like I have so much explaining to do but then the only reason for the idleness is work and it has been eating so much time. I would sleep most of the (free) time since it’s rare for me to get one for the past few weeks.

ANYWAY, although I have been MIA for awhile, I still have the urge to continue the 30 day drawing challenge and I will try my best to keep my entries updated.

Pumped Up Kicks Cover by Mil Prado

Took a break from the 30 day drawing challenge and experimented on some music effects instead (noob)... and I love Foster the People, they're good. Nice song is nice... and brutal

DAY 17 AND 18

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 08:57:19 PDT

Day 17

Favorite Plant: Yellow bells are just so vibrant. I like them and they give warmth to my day.

Day 18

Doodle/Drawing: I really don't know how I get these ideas. I just turn my Ipod on, shuts the world down and draw figures... then it finds itself in one piece of sketch.

I'M IN A HAPPY PLACE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Sun, 11 Sep 2011 06:07:12 PDT

I never imagined myself stepping into the glorious halls of toy kingdom at this age… felt unlawful for me to just pass by the toys and I could feel the awkward stares of kids thinking that I'm too old to be checking out the star wars lego set (I was also eyeing on the light saber toy on the shelf across), however, it was very nostalgic. I wasn’t alone by the way, I was with my brother, and so he dragged me to the gashapon/gachapon station. You know those egg like plastic toys with a mini surprise inside, yup those things. Just like kinder surprise, only the egg is not chocolate and edible.

A HAPPY PLACE. We immediately purchased tokens and wasted hundreds of bucks for these awesomely nonsense things.

Of course I just consumed my tokens to star wars gachapons.
Obi Wan. R2-D2. Yoda.

DAY 15 AND 16

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 09:24:31 PDT

Day 15

Family Picture: Never liked family photos... it's very static and formal soooo, I found our most informal family picture... and apparently it's 16 years old. Made it even more informal when I sketched it like the doodles from Books Of Adam. Awesome style's awesome.

Day 16

Inspiration: Songs of Zahara. Can never understand her lyrics (everything is in Spanish), but it just makes me feel inspired. Music high.

DAY 10- 14

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Tue, 06 Sep 2011 10:15:17 PDT

Day 10-12

Favorite Candy: Airheads... childhood... just childhood

Turning Point In Your Life: It was last year. I watched too much Nat Geo. It told me to get a job.
Recent Accomplishment: Traveled to Beijing China alone for work (Mao Star)

Day 13

Favorite Comic Book Character: Hit Girl. I worship her. Just cuts and guns at the age of 8.

Day 14

Favorite Fairytale: Peter Pan. I'm only good at being young and very scared of getting older... and grumpy.

DAY 9: FAVORITE TV SHOW

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 08:08:32 PDT

pa-papapa pa-papapa papa-rararara ri-rarara-rah...

Need I say more?

DAY 8: FAVORITE ANIMATED CHARACTER

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 07:29:40 PDT

I’m not denying the fact that I’m a self-proclaimed trying hard hipster. Never solely liked the main character, always loved the second central character.

I can say I quite see myself through Jane Lane… an outcast but not as extreme as Daria… eccentric but unafraid of mainstream.

DAY 2-7

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 23:50:24 PDT

My laptop died... thus the late post

Day 2-4

1. Favorite Animal: The Quick Brown Fox
2. Favorite Food: Sushi
3. Favorite Place: A corner from my room where I always play my guitar... and just sit and think of stuff. Contemplation's my friend.

Day 5-7

1. Best Friend: I have a lot of friends that I also consider my "best friends" but Marielle's the closest and just forever there :)
2. Favorite Book: Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories. Roy the Toxic Boy,another sad character from the book.
3. Favorite Movie: Coraline. I love buttons and mysteries combined.

DAY 1: YOURSELF

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 09:56:31 PDT

Felt weird drawing my own portrait... Plastic surgery through doodling. I just drew a thinner me without realizing it right away.

30 DAY DRAWING CHALLENGE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 07:22:23 PDT

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

TAKE THESE BROKEN WINGS AND LEARN TO FLY

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 07:02:44 PDT

All your life.

This is because Cameron Mitchell has affected me this much. Hands down to what he has contributed to the glee project and to his decision to quit, which takes a whole bucket of guts and balls just by even thinking of it... wasn't really disappointed but it just added much more swag, like a boss. Anyway, I'm really hoping he'll continue to whatever his talent may take him, I mean don't you think his voice is the closest thing you can get to a Jon Foreman or Switchfoot music, only awesom-er!?

In other news: I really need to put colors in my sketch... I wish I have the ability to shit out rainbow, just like nyan cat. (*u*)

FASCINATION

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 09:42:53 PDT

I like dreads on guys... well those who can pull it off fascinates me. Did this sketch while watching The Glee Project, obviously, Samuel Larsen was the inspiration.

GUESS WHO'S BORED

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Thu, 07 Jul 2011 07:08:32 PDT

Sketched two of my favorite things.

1. my version of a storm trooper
2. Tim Burton's Robot Boy from Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy

DOODLE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:34:08 PDT

It's been awhile since I last doodled in this notebook. This is just a rough sketch of something I had in mind awhile ago. An opportunity, time just permitted me to do so.

THE ED WESTWICK BILLBOARD COUNTER

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 09:12:25 PDT

I've seen his Penshoppe billboard four times already for this day (along Katipunan, way from Kawilihan, back and forth route along EDSA), and I know this sounds really pathetic but I would stop and have a moment of silence whenever I pass by his billboard (Javi witnessed this).

Never enjoyed traffic this much!

BEST THING THE CANDY MAN HAS EVER MADE

noreply@blogger.com (Mil) — Sat, 02 Jul 2011 09:15:24 PDT

This really made my day. A solution to depression-- binge eating!!!

Calling out Mandy Marcos, I know this is your favorite treat and I would like to inform you that they already sell this here in the Philippines, "where it's sunny everyday" (Rachel Berry tone). I guess you don't need to ask Vince to buy you a pack of Sour Patch all the way from the states.

I purchased this from Nuts for Candy in Resorts World
