So unless I screw up registering at PRC, and unless the news bulletin is worng I'm officially now a professional ... from this day forward, unless again I screw up and they revoke my license, I am Architect Ross William M. Orille (yabang mo ulol, heheh) weeeeee!!! inuman naaaa

Congratulations to my fellow iskolars from UP who made it to the top 10, Oliver Imeprial, Cielo Jose, Risha Tobias and Joseph Manahan... congrats to all our friends from CDEP (may utang kami sa inyo) who are mostly sons and daughters of UST, Mapua IT, University of San Carlos, and of course my beloved UP. San ang party kaya? Congrats also to my friend passers from SLU... and thanks for lots of real-life, practical construction tips from you...

I thank the Lord almighty for this... and all who gave support... including you my friends here on DA ... Special thanks also (nyek parang speech) to my mentor, Architect J. Monreal...

I am

I just wanna say congratulations to those who passed the recent architecture board exams. I congratulate specially my batchmates, orgmates (task force arki) and friends in UP college of architecture who are now allowed to sign design plans... ehehe... (demet nakakatempt magtanong sa inyo kung anong lalabas hwehwe. Anyway may iiskedule sana ng blow-out woohoo...

<---------Smartass ngahehehe

Well I've sort of been expanding... creating galleries outside DA... blogspot to be precise... please visit if you have the time

Before anything else however, in my attempt to catch a certain someone's attention with a serenade I've been practicing quite a bit... I've recorded one of these freakish sessions on [link] ... that's super low-quality vid... stop by also if you have the time...

Now moving on to my sites...

1. Around the Facade [link] ... (too bad Beyond and Behind are already taken) - dedicated to art and architecture... it would probably be a foresight of my website if ever I become a fully-professional architectural designer. It kinda shows my signatures in designing... weird...

2. Project: Retribution [link] - an all-out shout that says "I'm a Gundam geek"... I've been working on a Filipino-themed gundam story for a while now, and as lots of you may know, I've designed and posted my own gundam mechas here on DA. I'd be using this site to establish the story once and for all... well don't expect me to finish this up anytime soon...

And yeah, I'm still plugging my kick-ass guitarist idols...

1. Edgar Cruz
Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody [link] Crazy Little Thing Called Love [link]
Aerosmith's Dream On [link]

2. Tuck Andress
Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror [link]

3. Andy Mckee
Toto's Africa [link]

4. And some guy... sorry man.. you're good but I don't know your name... This one's really kick ass... brings back memories [link]

5. Yeah this one too [link]

If any of you guys find tabs for these please tell me...

Architecture:
1. Taj Mahal
2. Hagia Sophia
3. A bunch of interiors
4. Galleries

send me a note if I promised I'd make you one but you're not on the list

My other Account

Just when I thought things are looking up for me, it seems I have to face a bunch of trials so suddenly yet again. First and foremost is my mom's coming operation. The outcome of this seems truly uncertain.. and I'm hoping for the best... Secondly, my land lord's been acting so harsh towards me... If it were up to me, I'd be getting the hell out of her dusty compound to find a new residence... Thing is is, it's so very difficult to find a nice, cheap place to stay these days.. And then there's my new work... a landscape architecture firm... It's much better than being in an engineering firm... Still, I think I'm not sure how'd I do in a discipline that's not purely architecture... And then finally, there's my infatuation with someone that's getting nowhere... I even think she's become annoyed by me... It started off as a simple crush... but is gradually evolving into something else... I hate it absolutely when that happens...

Geez what the hell... I need to get through all that... The thing is I really don't feel so down right now... just plain serious... Hell a bunch of english comedians known as Monty Python have been bombarding these kick ass jokes and all I can do in response is a smirk...

Projects: These are my target 3d projects for the year hopefully I get these things done

1. Taj Mahal
