New Year Plans - Fireworks In Davao City

26 December 2010 § 0

Davao City is a no-to-firecrackers-city. It has been, I don't know, 10 years since the firecracker ban was implemented. Ever since that, New Year's eve has become very boring. But not this year... not anymore! Well, I still won't be using fireworks (I don't want to spend some jail time on New Year's eve/day). Instead, what I plan is to use the surround sound system. I have recently downloaded a fireworks audio file and I'll play it at exactly 12 MN January 01, 2011! I think this plan will work... we'll see...

This Christmas is, by far, the simplest Christmas celebration I've experienced - and I liked it.

The "I ♥ Sooki" Project

10 December 2010 § 0

The "I ♥ Sooki" Project was conceptualized by Gerard Karlo "Gigoy" Palileo and Michelle "Em-em" Moises. It's main aim is to, aside from professing our undying love for our daughter Sooki, be able to provide Christmas gifts to people at minimal costs. Yes, we're cheapskates.

This project is to copy the design of "I ♥ NY" shirts but instead of the "NY" part, we change it to the word, "SOOKI."

To go about this project with minimal costs, I needed to learn how to print designs on shirts. I thought of going through the heat transfer route but printing 20+ pieces of shirt this way isn't actually cost effective so I had to go old school style - silk screen printing.



These are the basic things I needed to start this project. As you can see in the pictures I had the following materials:

  1. Organza - the "silk" in silk screen
  2. Wooden Frame
  3. Textile Paints - TULCO red and black
  4. Packaging Tape
  5. Stapler and staple wires
  6. Marlboro - the most important material during the creation process. This helped me out a lot during my "trial and error" phase
  7. Lighter - to light up the Marlboro cigs
After creating the frame, I needed to create the design and here's the final product.
