So, I combed my hair this one time and I thought my hair looked pretty good, so I decided to make a video, and here it is:

In other news, I’ve got big-big! plans for this little place on the intarnets. I don’t know. I’m getting tired of excusing myself from updating regularly with great things (!) like I had envisioned doing when I first bought this domain. It is past three a.m. so I promise, tomorrow, things will be better.

P-R-O-M-I-S-E.

Reasons Why I Have Been MIA:

• ONDOY: Ondoy, or Typhoon Ketsana to the rest of the world, has been keeping me busy. When I’m online, I’m usually posting on Tumblr or Twitter or Facebook about Ondoy and news on relief operations.
• That’s mostly it.

It just seems like whatever I do choose to update about, it would seem callous to post, when all this ridiculous crap is going on in the world. The Ondoy posters that I made, I posted on Tumblr and social networking sites because my ‘readership,’ so to speak, is bigger there. I mean, the only people who read this are people I know in real life, people who get here from links by people I know in real life and the occasional random stranger who clicked something and ended up here. (By the way, I appreciate you all.)

Anyway, I’ll be making a lessons-I-learned-from-Ondoy-type post in a while. I just wanted to get everything else out of the way, so things are more organized. Or something like that. (!) So, in the time I was away, here are a few of the things that happened:

1. I turned 21. I was born on 29 September 1988 & this year I turned 21.
I feel like a little part of me has died, because I do not feel like 21 at all.
But I am hoping for the best. Maybe I will catch a break this year, y/y?

2. Been makin’ some art. (!) I started this website with the intention of
posting works in progress, current projects, et cetera. Obviously, did not happen.
But let’s change that! This is for Redefine. (a close up!)

3. CCF Relief Operations. I’m the smallest person in this photo. c/o Isa!

4. Watched Game 1 of the UAAP Finals. This is a photo of Father Dacanay,
who is pretty much my favorite. (If you don’t know him, you are probably not Atenean.)
He brought this jersey and wore it over his barong towards the end of the game.

S’more photos from the game:


Me & my dad, and me & my sister.

5. Panic-buying. We went to SnR yesterday to buy stuff since a new typhoon is a-brewin’.
Here is a photo of my favorite coffee brew of all time. (Of all time!) No lie, DD is the best.
It costs twice as much as what we buy (Folgers, ugh!) but we got 3 bags.
BECAUSE IT IS THE BEST. Was tempted to get more since it’s hard to come by.

O HAI. I’ll be making some changes to this website, so I guess watch out for that. I hope? Yes? See you guys later & stay safe, wherever you are.

Hello, there.

This is (technically) my first entry over here at NothingSpaces.com. My name’s Carina, I’m 20 years old (bleh!) and I am a design student in the Philippines. This website has been five years in the making — meaning,  it took me five years to finally get a domain.

But now, it’s here, it’s here! I am definitely one to embrace new media. Not that the Internet is exactly new, but I’m sure you get my point. I’m actually pretty excited, but I’m holding off “posting just because” so that I get to edit what actually comes out of here. For a more uncensored Carina, here is my LiveJournal account for your perusal. It hilariously chronicles woes from my freshman year in college. You have been warned.

In the meantime, I will constantly link back to this baby. High-fives all around!

(In case you were wondering, I will still be updating the ‘Projects’ page and a few of the links. Just saying.)
