okay so looks like I had the wrong impression of what Pinterest was for…I had a blog entry below saying that Pinterest seemed to be a tool meant for archiving internet content onto your account, but looks like it goes against their terms of use. I had the idea that people would be able to post things to pinterest because it references back to it’s origin/author. Under it’s Terms of Use, pinterest states:
“You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for all Member Content that you make available through the Site, Application and Services. Accordingly, you represent and warrant that: (i) you either are the sole and exclusive owner of all Member Content that you make available through the Site, Application and Services or you have all rights, licenses, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to Cold Brew Labs the rights in such Member Content, as contemplated under these Terms; and (ii) neither the Member Content nor your posting, uploading, publication, submission or transmittal of the Member Content or Cold Brew Labs’ use of the Member Content (or any portion thereof) on, through or by means of the Site, Application and the Services will infringe, misappropriate or violate a third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable law or regulation.”
So…this is a real bummer. What people are doing right now are really cool and it’s disappointing to think that we won’t be able have a large pool of great content being shared with one another anymore.
on repeat atm,
the one with lyrics isn’t bad at all either.

Adding a bit of Kensington Market to my cafe tours around T.O. It’s a nicely designed space, compact but well laid out. They even have seatings out in the back patio. The weather’s been nice lately so there were quite a lot of people enjoying their beverages outside. There seems to be a handful of young fashionable intellects, laptop in one hand and a book in another haha. Pamenar’s been one of the busier café’s I been to so far, as there are people constantly coming in. It was around 2pm and it felt like after hours. It definitely had that cittaslow type of aspect to Pamenar, but I’m sure that’s also the general atmosphere in Kensington. Cool people, cool café! Here are some photos:












Here are the three concepts we’ve delivered to the thesis class - with Michelle Liando

First presentation we made to the catalogue committee to see which direction we should develop.



Went around the Jewellery and Fibre studio at OCADU last Tuesday guided by Theresa and Germaine. Here are some studio equipment photographed for the Material Art and Design Thesis catalogue.














we got him a pair of baby converse shoes. He kept frowning when he looked at me…looks like I’ll have to bribe my way into his circle of trust haha.

Ladies and Gents, meet Mason. About a week and a half ago we went for a visit to our cousin Francis and Clara’s house to see Mason for the first time. At about 3 months, he’s looking healthy and already becoming a good lookin fellow with his mother’s eyes and father’s smile. He’s in good hands.
Visiting Mason with my sister and Gina made our day. Not only did it fill us with joy to see our newest family member, but it reminded me on how much care and effort goes into one’s child. Prior to the day of the visit, I asked if we can visit in the evening and since Francis and us cousins watched the Raptors, I suggested visiting to watch a game with Mason and the Fam. Turns out, that my idea of a 3 month old baby was one that can stay awake from 8am - 10pm, while changing diapers a few times during the day. These preconceived notions…were quickly shattered. I completely forgot how it worked.
Talking to our cousin and Clara quickly reminded me that the process of having a child is tough. Straight up. They can talk forever about what they’ve experienced so far, and the amount of considerations that one needs to take into account as new parents is endless. Props to parents, especially mothers, for suffering through the mental and physical pain of bringing us up. Now go hug your mum.
