Freelancing

As part of my 11 projects in 11 months initiative, I worked on a freelance project for the past couple of weeks.

I made a mobile app. Meet Billy!

One morning, while reading the book, I suddenly felt alive as if I hadn’t been born until that moment.

Magnetic Poetry

In our literature classroom in high school, there used to be a wall with magnetic word pieces that you could use to make poems. It was called Magnetic Poetry and I remember we had so much fun writing weird poems. I recently came across this photo and thought it would be fun to have one at home too. I breathe hard when we bathe ferociously at night with your manly father and sister & brother but it is a secret never ask y we did it So I purchased one last week and put it up on the metallic cover of my fan coil unit.
