In My Dreams...
I was just a little girl then when I witnessed how artistic my clan was. I've looked up to my grandfather (the late Arch. Raul Atos Corral) - this post is dedicated to you my dear lolo. At young age, I told myself that I want to be an architect. I admired him so much by merely looking at him, sitting in front of his large table with different kinds of pen, coloring materials, triangle, a very long ruler, and also a large white paper where he did the light but fast strokes. As you look over the drawing, you'll see series of lines that can't be understand by a young girl like me, or even those who aren't fond of drawing. Until my dad came and told me not to disturb my lolo.
My dad and I went to the sala, and there he told me some ideas about what my Lolo's career was. I asked him a lot of questions so he decided to teach me the basic strokes in drafting a house. My dad was also an architect for me though he wasn't able to finish it in college. We started outlining the floor plan, then we moved on to the "perspective". I was really amazed when I saw the outcome of our drawing. It was just an ordinary house, but what amazed me was the fact that we only started it with series of lines which you may not think it'll become a "house". Since then, I kept myself locked in my room, doing several floor plans and simple perspectives, which were already a masterpiece for a little girl.
Years later, my loving lolo died. It hurts us so much. But just the thought of his kindness (as his first grandchild) uplifts my heart. One thing that instills in my mind and heart is the way he inspired me. Yes, I was really inspired to be an architect. I may not have a degree in architecture, but I know deep in my heart, I am longing to be like one.
I am continuously inspired when it comes to architecture because of my dad. He followed the career path of my grandfather. It feels good whenever I see my lolo's green book which is a compilation of all his blue prints, his masterpieces. My dad is also compiling his own since I was a kid, and I'm his critic. I even recommend him to my hubby's aunt, and luckily my dad got the project. The perspective below is his latest design built at Orchard Golf and Country Club in Dasmariñas, Cavite.
I even shared my ideas on interior designs to my dad. Yes, aside from architecture, I'm also fond of interior designs. I think I'll pursue the latter since my dad doesn't want me to be an architect. But whatever happens, dreaming will always be a part of me...

One of the best designs of my dad...
"So if anyone of you is looking for an architect, draftsman, contractor, paint expert (package deal) just leave me a message and I'll inform my dad. (wink!)"

Welcome the Luck Out of Pay Per Post
I've been fascinated about blogging just this year. Custom designs, layout, interesting links, rants, and a lot more ease my stessful routine as a writer. I really enjoy every couple of hours doing the "clicks, clicks, and clicks." As a matter of fact, I almost forgot my real tasks because of this addicting blog. Months have passed, yet blogging can never get out of my system. Until I came to know pay per post. This may be a good start for me to earn while I enjoy clicking this super tired "mouse". Though it's not yet that high, but at least I have the chance to earn as much as I'd like to. Soon I'll dedicate some of my time by simply writing reviews from pay per post and I'm already excited of how much I am going to earn out of it. It will help me somehow to settle my expenses and to finance my luxury. You may want to do the same way. After all, sitting on your couch, clicking your mouse while typing a bit is all it takes to welcome the luck out of working online. Click now ads on blogs to get started. Good luck
