Hello there! Let me start off by introducing myself. My name is Cher, the nickname that most of my friends call me. My full name is Rochelle, but nobody really ever calls me that (except for my boss at times). So let me see, I shall take this page as a vanity page of sorts, presenting each aspect of personality in categories so that you may get to know me better.
What I do for a living
As mentioned briefly in my Google profile, I'm a full-time interior designer. I got my degree at the University of the Philippines in Diliman, Quezon City. I then took the board exams right after I graduated and got lucky enough to pass. :)I've been practicing since then. Presently, I'm working for IDeal Interior Design Services.
My design style preference for interiors lean towards the modern and contemporary style. I like mixing in traditional elements too but not in the purist sense. My strength lies in the mixing of colors and an eye for detail. Although it hasn't been updated recently, you can view my online portfolio at Coroflot.
In my spare time…
I discovered blogging about 3 years ago. It used to be just a medium to channel my thoughts and frustrations at the end of the day. Admittedly it became very addicting and such a great stress reliever. Then I met the local blogging community and became a part of it. Blogging became an important part of my life since then. I've met a lot of interesting people, I learned how to deal with good and bad social interactions and I've been writing a lot especially when I attend events. You can check out my other blog - Creating Spaces for my thoughts on design. I've also kept a Tumblr microblog for interesting photos and art that I see on the web. Similarly, my Yahoo meme shows photos of how wonderful Earth can be. My everyday status updates can be found on Plurk and Twitter.
Gamer Chic
These days I find it hard to find time to play video games. I used to - A LOT. But I do devote time once in a while to play great games on my platforms of choice - PC and PSP. I've also been known to dabble on casual games found on Facebook or those time management games from Bigfish or PopCap. I write occasionally at Back2Gaming about the games I've played and some other gaming related thoughts.
I'm currently passionate about
I'm kind of a hobby aficionado and currently I'm really into photography. Although it's kind of an expensive hobby to take, it's really fascinating. I know I'm still a newbie in the field but you can look at what I've been practicing on so far on my photoblog. Other than taking photos, I'm constantly sketching (that's why I collect a lot of sketchpads). These doodles are sometimes mixed concepts for my interior designs or character studies.
On my playlist
While at work designing, making 3d scenes or just writing, I love listening to music. Music somehow gives me a steady flow of creative energy. Music I listen to mostly are from these genres: chillout/ambient, alternative rock, vocal house.
There you have it. That's me in a nutshell. You'll find reflections of my personality written across my posts. Let me share with you things that I've found interesting. I hope you'll like it here.
