The Largest Nipa Hut

A magnificent creation by the Greatest Poet of Space Leandro Locsin

He interpreted the Bahay Kubo (Nipa Hut) into a massive structure built to represent a culture of Filipino and its Architecture.

Situated near the Manila Bay, its building approach accessed through the path similar to the waves of the shore. Massiveness and simplicity of the buildings component ir reflected in the facade.

A true representation of distinctive Filipino Architecture.

"Booksmarts or Streetsmarts?"

“Someone’s Capability is Immeasurable. It could not be Gauged by the Numbers”

In the industry where I’m involved—Construction and Management, skills are a priority. Especially in handling tasks and creating a sequence of work. There’s so much to learn and see. All you have to do is open your mind to all the opportunities and options.

There are two kinds of People. Those who are in theory—“the Booksmarts” and those who are specialized in experience and the actual--- “ the Streetsmarts”. It has always been an argument who is more capable. A contestant from the TV show “The Apprentice” once said that Books separate Man from Boys. But would that statement define the truth?

Many People could prove something in this scenario.

Michael Dell hasn’t finished his studies because of the small business he had in a small apartment. Eventually he became a Multimillionaire today and one of the top computer selling company.

Frank Lloyd Wright
A pioneer is a pioneer in architecture. He attended high school, but never graduated.

Bill Gates
Was a regular employee before. Today he is the architect of the software giant Microsoft.

Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
He created an influential 20th century architectural style, stated with extreme clarity and simplicity.He worked in his father's stone-carving shop.


These people serves as an inspiration to us that lack in education hinder success.

Name Game

"Your Name is the Future"

So what’s in your name? Parents are giving the very best names for their children and sometimes the worst for some people who hate their names. Names could more likely to be an impression of what your future would be that’s why it must have a value. Here are some people who’ve proven that names must be really something that will explain your personality, give statement for outlook and oftentimes define the nature of your existence, your future work and even luck.

Donald Trump- DO-a strong implementation of leadership
TRUMP- may also means triumph


Oprah Winfrey- O- an expression when being amazed
Win-a sure winner

Bill Gates- He must be collecting bills since he hold the key of the Gates


The Walton’s- who’ve built walls of gold over the United States.

Well of course the Filipinos would also dig for the list.






Manny Pacquiao- Manny sounds like money! Pacquiao in Filipino means to buy more or grab them all. So he’s name would mean that he’s getting all the money. Aside from this meaning, it may also sound “manapak-yaw” which means to punch.








Same is true for Manny Villar. On the otherhand, Villar would mean Villas or houses of the aristocrat or the elite where Villar leads in the Industry in the Philippines.

Chasing What You've Chosen

Destiny. Is it a self proclaimed fact that you are compelled to pursue? Or a mere truth of responsibility? Whatever it means, I guess I have to admit that I’m engaged in the Industry I’ve chosen to take as far as my life goes. When I was at the terminal of high school entering college, I was really reluctant about the course I will be taking. Suddenly, it was Architecture. Why?Actually, it was the first on the course list (since it starts with A). Then as the years goes on in college, I woke up one day that I’m engaged with it and I gave passion through it. After so many trials I’ve worked with, there are times that I just wanted to turn back and raise the white flag. But in the end, I’m still pushed through the limits of my capacity. Moreover, Here I am still working with drawings, plans, talking with people engaged in construction.

Well of course I am having fun with my work. But will this be forever? I asked myself. I’m looking forward for a better niche and I find working abroad as an option.
I have so many plans. For myself, my family and the things that I love. I’m caught in the middle now. But I know in the end things will go my way. Coz everything perfectly fits for a cause. Perhaps sometimes you really have to know what it is.

Leaving on A Jet Plane

I fetched my brother to the airport this morning. Just a simple thought, this was the second time he was leaving for his work abroad. I wondered what’s in a man’s mind when he leaves his own country. A man trying to cope with a new environment, not his own. Far away from his comfort zone.

Last night I went home just to see everyone’s at home sleeping together in one roof for the very moment. It was really a sudden rush of emotion. It was like turning back time when we all are still young, playing, laughing, shouting, crying and teasing one another. Time really fly so fast. Here we are now, taking each other’s life by themselves. Trying to catch the challenges set by life. We’re on our way now. And from what I see now, I’m hopeful with fingers crossed that everything’s gonna be alright in the end.

To you bro, maybe one day you’ll see this. Though we do not talk that much, I know everything that we have to know. For the mean time, thank you and Goodluck and Godbless us. For what time will hold now will be cherished forever. See you back here.

The Curse in Construction

Construction must really have gone so far. More advanced technology as it steps towards the future. However, there are also side effects of the industrialization. For what a chainmail has brought me, It says that there are also parts of the construction industry that is quite alarming.

Thank You Mr. Jobs

My Favorite Gadget

More than a multimedia player, the Ipod and other similar devices have to offer much on my lifestyle. It serves as an earplug when you want to avoid hideous and annoying conversations. You can also use it to make damn talkshits to disturbed people. Last night, I’ve tried it and it made significant effects. Try for yourself.
