Our project, Audiograffiti, is now on the front page of our school website The feature is about the upcoming school exhibition to be held in the Milan Triennale (one of milan’s museums) during the Salon del Mobile (one of the biggest furniture fair in the world).
Audiograffiti was our first term project. It was an interacation exploration with sound, time and space. Basically, you enter this baloon room and see 8 hanging microphones. You step on a platform and record your voice. Your voice will be played over and over until it fades.
Noel and I saw the funny Dachsund again today that we first saw when we had newly moved here. It was riding in its sidecar with its tough-guy owner on the motorcycle. It looked so funny with its leather helmet, its ears flapping in the wind. I made it angry because I kept staring at it while traffic was stopped. It barked indignantly at me as if to say: “Don’t you dare laugh at my outfit. I’m the cutest thing.” And it continued to bark as it kept looking back at us even as its owner started to drive off. Silly, adorable dog.
One sign that spring is here is that we have to set our clocks one hour forward. This daylight savings time concept is still so foreign to me. We did the reverse last october to prepare for winter when sunlight is scarce. We have been enjoying great weather last week where it was around 18 degrees. This is the perfect weather if you ask me. You have enough sun that you don’t need to put on a jacket and enough cold that you don’t have to wear spaghetti straps. (Not that I wear spaghetti straps in Manila).
Unfortunately the weather here is still unpredictable. It’s now back to 10 degrees and rain. We have to go do our grocery but the weather made us lazy. Weather forcast says it will be sunny tomorrow.

Enough is enough! We finally slipped a letter under our obnoxious neighbors’ door. (Thanks to Kati who helped me edit the Italian 
) Hopefully this will put an end to the strange noises we have been forced to endure for some weeks now. Think along the lines of screaming banshee. And finally get the uninterrupted sleep we desperately need and deserve! If these Talponia walls could talk…
Paris was better the second time around… and it was because I shared it with the love of my life. Indeed Paris is for lovers. The Parisians seemed to be less rude this time around, in fact they were actually helpful. After being in Ivrea for sometime now, we were simply taken by Paris. We missed the big city life. The shopping, the food, and of course the sites.
I particularly loved shopping at Muji, a Japanese-no brand-lifestyle store which was probably where Anonymous Store in the philippines got its inspiration from. They sell stationery, CD players, furniture, clothes, and kitchenware. I also drooled over the english books and magazines in WH Smith. We don’t have any English bookstores here in Ivrea, the closest one is in Milan!
Food was excellent too and the variety was what we missed. I specially recommend Cafe Sud. Oh, and a funny thing happened there: I was served a wrong dish but I didn’t realize it and went ahead and took a bite. Then suddenly the waitress tapped me on the shoulder and quickly made a switcheroo. Next thing I know the plate in front of me was the one I originally ordered. I still wonder if they ever served the other dish to the person who ordered it. Poor guy.
I can’t believe that it has been four weeks since my last entry. I know because our final crit happened yesterday and now the term is almost over. Not much to say there except that the results were pretty much expected. We hardly presented anything new but still received good reviews. Although I thought that the class overall did pretty well and received good critiques.
Spring break is just around the corner and Mum, Dud and Fran will be here soon. Yey!
