Streetlgiht Study Center

I discovered Streetlight middle of 2011 they are a foundation that helps the Seawall slum communities of Tacloban City. You can help their cause through donations or conatacting them at Streetlight.org.

Late of last year their project a collaboration with WORKSHOP (project Tacloban) was featured in architecture website Archdaily: Study Center in Tacloban / Workshop. I was surprised to say the least. I had to be at this building. On Friday I got my chance. I met the founder of Streetlight Mr. Erlend Johannesen. And on Saturday I returned to do some sketching in the Study Center.

Hopefully better scans in the future.

Sketch 8 : 2013 02 02

I was really hesitant to sketch right under the blazing morning sun. But then I realized my subjects were WORKING under the sun. So I decided to man up and draw. Even for a little while.

Also took down the exhibit at cafe Lucia today. Big thanks to them for hosting us. Till next time.

2012 10 27 Manila Weekend

I was in Mnaila for the weekend. I bought myself a new camera. The day after, I took my camera for a test drive. First  was a trip to my old Alama Mater.

The UST Main Building

This building shall remain unnamed. I understand that while saying that it might sound like an old fogy. But a few elements do stand out, too bad it does not save the whole. 

The Arch of the Centuries. A testament to the longevity of our institution. I may not agree with most of its history, but I am part of it now. 

The Garden in front of the building is certainly seeing better days. I don't think I remember it this well lit. 

Sentinels of UST have stood here almost a century. Not much, compared to the UST that is 400 years old. 

After relieving myself of home sickness it was time to visit another Heritage Landmark, The Luneta Hotel which is now currently under renovation. 

And to do a little drawing with Urban Sketchers Philippines. 

The second half of the day was spent at KOMIKON. Most of the day meeting heroes and idols in the Philippine Comix scene.
