So, Anong Planner Ka?
May dalawang type daw ng tao sa mundo: ang mga planner at ang mga spontaneous.
Pero sa tingin ko, walang taong spontaneous - meron lang flaker at indecisive. Lahat tayo, nagplaplano. Nagkakatalo lang sa pagkabongga (time investment x emotional investment x gastos) at sa execution. At para panindigan ang opinyon kong walang taong spontaneous, heto ang classification ko ng mga planners:
Ang OA Planner
Also known as, “Pasan ko ang daigdig” planner. Para sa kanya, there’s only one plan - at plano niya yun. And it will seem like it’s always a matter of life and death - maski ang panonood ng latest na sine. Speaking of sine, most of the time, feeling ng isang OA planner e isang pelikula ang plano niya. At lahat ng tao sa paligid niya ay supporting roles lang, madalas nga ay extra lang. Aakuhin niya lahat ng responsibilities, pero magkaka-self pity moment siya na feeling niya ay alone siya in life.
Ang Paranoid Planner
Wala siyang tiwala nino man - sa mga tao sa paligid niya, minsan, sa sarili niya, pero most of the time, wala siyang tiwala sa life. Pero dahil doon, lagi naman siyang handa, may foresight siya at eye for details. Favorite word niya ang loopholes at siguro fan siya ng conspiracy theories.
Ang Flaker Planner
Usually, bina-brand ng isang Flaker Planner ang sarili niya bilang spontaneous. And it just follows na paiba-iba siya ng plano. Maaaring sa una ay charming ang tingin mo sa kanya (lalo na kung crush mo siya) pero later on ay nakaka-frustrate dahil sobrang malabo lang siyang kausap, at nakaka-hassle na yun. May tendency rin siyang maging selfish and inconsiderate of other people’s lives and time
Ang Clingy Planner
Kung familiar kayo sa TV series na Sex And The City, ang tawag nina Carrie Bradshaw sa Clingy Planner ay We-guy/We-girl. Ibig sabihin, para bang prefix na sa lahat ng plano niya ang English word na “we”. “We will go take photos in Quiapo.” “We will go shopping in Greenhills.” “When are we going to Nuvali to bike around?” Ang isang Clingy Planner ay para bang mamatay kung gawin niya ang plano niya mag-isa. Isa pang mark of a true Clingy Planner ay ang paulit-ulit na reminders tungkol sa plano ninyo - “Huy, ano na?
Ang Sneaky Planner
Siya na siguro ang opposite ng clingy planner dahil lahat ng plano niya ay secret. Malalaman mo na lang kapag nagawa na niya. At kahit kasama ka sa plano ay mystery ang lahat para sa iyo. Mahihilera mo na sa mga intelligence unit ang level ng discretion niya. Kapag tinanong mo siya kung kumusta ang plano, ang sagot niya ay either, “Wala naman” or “Ako na bahala.” But don’t fret, most of the time, swak lang ang plans.
Ang Kaladkarin Planner
“Kung kayang gawin ng iba, pagawa mo sa kanila.” ‘Yan ang mantra ng Kaladkarin Planner. Either tinatamad niyang mag-plan kaya nakiki-ride na lang siya sa plano ng iba or naiirita na lang siya sa OA Planner na lider-lideran kaya nag-le-let go na lang siya. Don’t mistake him or her to not have a plan. The master plan is to follow others’ lead.
Ang Witty Planner
Ito naman ang type ng planner na magiging good influence sa ‘yo para hindi lang hanggang March ka mag-jot down ng schedules, appointment, promises at doodles ng pangalan ng crush mo. Interactive ang isang Witty Planner. Di nauubusan ng sorpresa bawat araw - may funny, may witty, may kaloka, para naman ganahan kang mag-plan buong taon! Ito rin ang tanging planner na nagta-Tagalog!
So, sinong gusto ng isang Witty Planner? Magbibigay ako ng isa. Sorry, wish ko mang magbigay ng mas marami, gusto ko rin gamitin para sa sarili ko eh. :P

GRRRL SCOUT presents BOOT CAMP 4
Hello, boys and girls!
I've been very very very busy (can I stress it any further?) with a lot of things: mostly work, planning for a very special event (soon!) and a little bit of artsy projects. Yes, I make it a point to make at least one artsy project every two weeks so I keep myself inspired!
Here's my latest project, The GRRRL SCOUT's BOOT CAMP 4 poster. GRRRL SCOUT, as you all know is the newest production tag team of my good friend Saab Magalona and Candy Gamos. And I must say, it's every thing that is close to my heart: music and girl power! Thanks Saab for making me a part of this awesomeness!
So, see you guys? C'mon.
Here's the event page, c'mon and click GOING!

The Mightier (iPad) Pen
I always said,
Early in life, I developed the aversion to fancy tools - from that pencil case with eject hidden sharpeners, to the watercolor brush shampoos. The reason is very simple: we cannot afford it. So ever since, I’ve comforted my angsty juvenile (pa-art) self that I should just focus on my techniques, given a very limited range of art tools.
But with more time and experience, I learned that even a very skilled artist (or technician), if given faulty tools, the process of creation won’t be as inspired. Worse, the work won’t be as efficient. Now, I recognize the importance of having the best tools that you can have. (Pag-ipunan na lang. Investment rin ‘yan.)
My iPad has been a very helpful tool for my art (and rakets). I use it for viewing of reference photos when I’m painting or sketching. But the Paper App and the Jot Pro stylus helped me maximize my iPad more. Now I can literally write down and doodle my ideas on the iPad. And just when I thought my Jot Pro stylus is the best, I get introduced to the Jot Pro Touch.
iPad screens (or any touch screen gadgets) need a certain amount of surface area to be covered to respond to touch. So the precision disc acts like your finger, but since the disc is transparent, you can see exactly where you are writing or doodling!
Jot Touch’s precision disc works naturally with any App on any touch screen; iOS, Android, and Windows.
The new sound Dampening Tip simulates the natural contact of writing with a pen on paper. This means your strokes will be quieter when note-taking or sketching.
Although all Jot stylus pens are quite sensitive, the Jot Touch reacts to how much pressure you apply, making more accurate strokes.
Bluetooth® Connect
Jot Touch uses Bluetooth 2.0 technology to communicate with Jot Ready apps on your iPad 2 or New iPad.
USB Charger
Plug the USB charger into your computer, tablet, or iPad/iPhone charger to replenish Jot Touch and keep writing and doodling.
The Jot Pro Touch really is just so
The Jot Pro Touch will be available in these following stores: Beyond The Box (One Rockwell, Resorts World, Lucky Chinatown Mall), Digital Hub (Virra Mall, Galleria, Pioneer, Market! Market!, II Terrazo), E-Central (Cebu), iBook (SM Clark), iCenter (Cebu & Iloilo), Podworx, Power Mac Center, Technoholics and The Inbox Store (SM Clark).
I'm definitely getting one for myself and for Wincy, who's been practicing his illustration skills lately. :P
Take It Easy With KEDS
When I saw the movie Limitless, I told my boss I wanted to have some NZT-48.
But he told me this: "Hoy de Silva, that's not what you need! You need a chill pill."
Oh yes, I'm the office Ms. Intense and I'll forever be acting busy and all fiery. Wincy even joked once that my only chill time is when I'm asleep. But hey, I do have my own form of relaxation - ART! I usually unwind with some of my favorite music while sketching or painting.
And this weekend, I wanna try sharing my relax-time with all of you! Let's all TAKE IT EASY and have fun tomorrow at:
This October, the UP Junior Marketing Association and Keds Philippines bring you: “Take It Easy with Keds”, an exciting outdoor picnic of food, drinks, hyped with a splash of fun and games that’ll keep you wanting more! Come and join the fun at Bonifacio Global City, Taguig on October 20, 2012, Saturday with a program showcasing the latest trendy and preppy Keds looks, the new Keds Ambassadors known as the Kids for Keds, as well as celebrity guestings, and a whole lotta freebies from Keds.
Take It Easy with Keds is the UP JMA Strategic Marketing Team’s event for this semester. It holds as a picnic-carnival coachella style of event that will showcase the Everyday’s-a-Saturday feel of Keds shoes. The events is proposed to be set during the day in an outdoor environment, where people can relax, breathe, take a break from work, and purely have fun with the booths and games set for them.
The picnic scene isn’t just like any other picnic in that gaming, food and drink booths will surround the area, a program to showcase Keds products and endorsers (fashion show, Kids for Keds from the three chosen colleges, Keds ambassadors) will be hosted, hopefully by celebrities, who will be sited at the event. Take it Easy with Keds is meant to promote Keds’ Everyday’s-a-Saturday feel to its main target market, mainly college students, and everyone else who wants to take a break from all the hustle and bustle of work by TAKING IT EASY. Stop doing what you need to do. Start doing what you want to do. ‘Cos it’s time to take it easy with Keds.
So boys and girls, see you tomorrow! I'll be painting walls and probably some pair of Keds!
Ang Kauna-Unahan Kong Aklat Na Pambata: Ang Ikaklit Sa Aming Hardin
Una kong nakilala si Ikaklit sa klaseng Panitikang Pilipino 19 ni Prof. Eugene Evasco noong tinalakay namin ang kwentong pambatang Ang Ikaklit Sa Aming Hardin na sinulat ni Bernadette Neri. Sabi ni Sir Eugene, hindi raw na-publish ang kwentong ito dahil walang mainstream publication na gustong tumanggap dahil sa “maselang” tema nito: ang isang homosekswal na pamilya.
Naisip ko, ang isang kwentong singganda ng Ang Ikaklit Sa Aming Hardin ay nararapat na mailathala at maibahagi sa nakararami. Kaya’t ipinangako ko sa sarili ko na hahanapin ko si Bernadette Neri at magpriprisinta na lang ako bilang ilustrador. Tutulungan ko siya sa abot ng makakaya ko para mabuo ang aklat na ito, indie kung indie.
Makalipas ang apat na taon, hindi ko inakalang matutupad ang isa sa mga “major” pangarap ko!
Sana makapunta kayo sa pormal na pagpapakilala sa publiko ng aming aklat, ang book launch ng Ang Ikaklit sa Aming Hardin. Setyembre 13, 2012, 3:00-5:00 PM, sa CM Rector Hall, Bulwagang Rizal, KAL (CAL), UP Diliman.
Muli, maraming salamat kay Bernadette Neri, sa pagtitiwalang mabibigyang buhay ko ang kwento niya. Kay Sir Eugene Evasco - kayo ang dahilan ng lahat (kung hindi ko kinuha ang klase ninyo at nabasa si Ikaklit, wala naman ang lahat ng ito!) Salamat rin sa team: Siyawi, Ate Powti, at Ate Jeni. (Excited na akong makilala kayo nang personal!)
Para sa inyo, mga kaibigan at kakilala online, kung interesado kayong makakuha ng kopya ng aklat na ito, maaring mag-email sa akin sa contact@cjdesilva.com at publikasyong.twamkittens@gmail.com (Subject: IKAKLIT)! Maraming salamat muli!
Heto ang isa sa mga paborito kong spread sa aming aklat!
