This morning I took my PI100 final: an oral exam featuring 63 questions/theses, one of which I would have to answer in two minutes. I dipped my hand into the question bag, pulled out a scrap of paper, and– what do you know, I got the most interesting question of them all: Talk about a […]

More pictures at the sneak peek Multiply album.
Notes to come, kind of sleepy. Miamor is currently undergoing tweaking, please excuse the mess.

Gift for my mother. A bag charm in pearl, abalone, crystal, glass, and silver wire.
Notes: Helloooo huge jump rings! I’ll probably buy more — sterling silver ones this time — when I move on to making bracelets. I used white and purple freshwater pearls strung on silver wire (the rings the pearls are hanging on […]

Working on layouts for Diwa and Likhain @ Multiply. Diwa is giving me headaches, since I’ll have to learn yet another way to skin a cat– er, the site, or at least the online shop part of it. I don’t really want to use ready-made templates.
Also, I have to work on the site structure…! Rargh.
And […]

You know, when I first thought, “Hey, making pretty stuff is fun! Sharing it with other people is even better!” I wasn’t really thinking in terms of, uh, anything remotely business-like. I had a vague idea I’d sell whatever I made, but it never went beyond a fuzzy concept of buying materials […]

I spent one day recovering from my Puerto Galera trip (ah, well, the flesh is very very weak) before plunging headlong into a huge pile of work. Sadly I’ve been neglecting my half-finished drawings, paintings, and story nuggets for the sake of my current projects; much as I would like to play around with watercolor […]

I do write. Sometimes. Currently working on:
Short fiction
Singularity — aka the black hole sentimental story
Dynamics of Moving Bodies — aka the physics porn story
Not-so-short fiction
Freely Falling Bodies — aka the brainwashing story
The Thousand Gates — weird fantasy-type exercise in world-building
Articles/essays
(untitled) — why physics, why me
(untitled too!) — gaming and feminism (?!)
Research
(untitled) — equations for modeling […]

I’m so tempted to do this just in ink but will have to color it to stay within the “series.” Just sketches for now, but will transfer to watercolor paper sometime soon. (Or should I just ink and color in the Moleskine…?)

She’s an Istenil — a very short-lived race whose culture is a strange mix […]

Hallo there! Again about books and prints. I’m, uh, really excited about this, can you tell? Haha. It’s the first time I’m showing my work to people I don’t know.
Prints. There are 11″x17″ prints (black and white, on 220 gsm paper; please note that unlike the previews they don’t have any text […]
