pumpkin color

working hard on friday evening with my two partners.

(pumpkinhead was tricky but tasty. yum.)

design drill

yayyyy! i missed you blog. how are you?

my life is so far so lovely that i dont know where to start my story.

well,

there's one big change in my life since september. i started an internship at this design agency in middle of manhattan. and... it is simply AWESOME. although this is my first actual full-time job in my life and don't have much to compare with any other places, I feel so comfortable and happy at this place:)

there are about fifteen people working at this place and most of them are under 30 years old. most of their work is digital and they all love blogging (meaning stalking design blogs every minute), which i don't complain at all. so far, my schedule has been like: go to work around 10am, start my computer, drink coffee, check all the design blogs that i've bookmarked, creative meeting, blog, work, mini blog, lunch, blog, work, blog, get links to the cool blog from other people, blog, etc... so by the end of the day, i feel like i accomplished world design tour by adding extra five blog stops for the next day. damn it.

anyways, sharing ideas and knowing what's happening around you/opposite side of you is always a good thing. and i mean it more now than when i was in school because i actually see things that surrounds and connects design to the real world now. once thing that i really love and appreciate about my work now is people who works there. they love what they do, they share what they have, and they know how to bring their work in front of people. I'm so glad that I get to work with someone that I can respect or look up to, and I feel like I'm falling in love with design again in a totally different way. yay!

oh...

and lets face it, having a "real" fire drill during work rules.

this was a picture taken from our studio, when we were still not sure if we should trust people shouting "smoke! smoke!" in front of our building. then, fire trucks came.
we had to jump off from the 5th floor because of the fire on the 2nd floor. well, not really.



...then, we all survived (thanks to the brave heroes), and we lived happily ever after that afternoon.
