Positivity through Typography

Personal Project - typography accompanied by simple illustration/elements to spread positive messages.

It’s been a while since my last “real” post here on tumblr. My life for the past month revolved around the words “work” and “play”. It’s been like this since I transferred in the busy district of Makati. The catch here is how to balance the two. Too much “work” will destroy you, your social life, and your brain. Too much “play” will get you evicted from your apartment, leave you with lots of unpaid bills. The line “Won’t let this city destroy our love” from Patrick Wolf’s single “The City” pretty much describes the struggles one has to overcome when living (alone or with someone) in the city. It’s about keeping it all together. Despite all the shit, good or bad, that has been going on with your life, never let the city eat you alive and stay true to who you really are. ANSABE?!

ORO, PLATA, MATA One should never end with ‘mata’. Oro, Plata, Mata There are guidelines, too, governing the number of steps in one’s stairs. Starting with the first landing, count the steps using the words oro (gold), plata (silver), and mata (death). The perfect last step should be oro. Ending up plata is not too bad either but, understandably, do not ever end up with mata. This ruling is strictly observed especially if it involves the first steps going into the house. If your home has a slight elevation, choose four steps but never three. This building belief is not limited to stairs alone. It also applies to walkways that are made of individual flagstones or the popular circular or square slabs of pebbled concrete or even an entire concrete walkway or ramp that is divided into sections by lines drawn onto the pavement itself, especially if they lead to the main entrance of the house. The Yakans of Mindanao, however, believe in odd numbering of steps. They also require an odd number of bedrooms. Chinese Filipinos, on the other hand, count their steps by fours.         Source

“El Dia E : El día de todos los que hablamos español” (The Day of Spanish : The day of everyone who speak Spanish) Unites Spanish Speakers in Manila! (and the world)

Now on its fourth year, the cultural event hosted by Instituto Cervantes Manila took place in Shangri-La Plaza mall. The event featured free entertainment for the mall-goers. From spanish music to spanish food and live performances featuring verses from al poeta chileno Nicolás Parra, who won el Premio Cervantes en 2011.

Statistics show that speakers of ‘la lengua española’ is one of the fastest growing segments in the world. I personally believe that being able to ‘hablo’ español would open lot of career opportunities, especialmente for us Filipinos, ehem, starting with call center accounts from Lat-Am and Spain. Además, the cultural connection between the Philippines, Latin America and Spain is undeniably strong, from the palabras that we’ve adopted, to the comidas, bailas, and even our ropas tradicionales.

Dia del Español is presented by the Instituto Cervantes de Manila, Shangri-La Plaza, the Spanish Embassy in the Philippines and AECID.

For information, call 526-1482 or visit http://manila.cervantes.es/. Instituto Cervantes de Manila is at 855 T.M. Kalaw St., Ermita, Manila. (yey! study spanish!)
