tin's 🥀 [ARCHIVED RECOLLECTIONS] @tindelossantos - Tumblr Blog

Hi

do people still blog here :( i miss this

visual diary | little art galleries, college , pre-lockdown life

I took these clips before the lockdown. I miss outdoors so much I hope this pandemic ends soon :( To anyone reading this, I hope you're in a safe place right now. Even though you have lots of free time now, it's completely fine to rest for a while and not pressure yourself to do something productive. Just always choose to do things that will make you at peace. 🐻🌷

#vlog

I get a lot of questions about how I do my go-to makeup and honestly I just do it so simply. I got my inspiration from the Carrot Makeup trend on IG and YT.

I recently uploded a makeup tutorial on my channel and would really mean to me if you'll drop by. And if you appreciate it, hope you hit the like button and subscribe !! ꒰⌯͒•̩̩̩́ ᴗ •̩̩̩̀⌯͒꒱

Life Update:

Hello. It's been such a long time since the last time you've heard from me. I've been busy with college and it ate me whole and including my time and peace. Honestly, college has not been easy for me. I've let myself down a lot of times. But I hope this time, this is my last year in college. My batchmates don't even go to school anymore because they have already graduated. Actually it's not a thing that I'm really bothered about. I like my own pace and I would never trade a thing for all the people I've met because of my circumstances. There are just times that I want to get out of school so bad and finally live on my own. Well, I am living on my own in college. I don't have any roommate or parent at my house. But I mean I want an actual house paid by my own money, bills paid by my own money, basically live for me.

Typing all of these now, makes me feel so nostalgic. Wow I miss writing my thoughts down and sharing it without worrying about who will happen to read it. I miss this platform. I have so much memories. I can say that I'm not the same person anymore but this blog is still always a part of me. I might post from time to time or I don't know, whenever I feel at peace to write here. This is my safe place and I shouldn't feel forced about anything.

That's all for now, see you again some time :)

Hi

a lot has changed, i miss u all

+ shot last October - November 2016 + using Flash Fujica AF Date + with expired Colorplus 200 and YKL 100

new things/ lessons so far:

improving on playing the ukelele

improving on playing the guitar

making a decent song

making friends with athletes

improving on my spiritual growth

waking up early morning, every day

interacting with groupmates without being awkward & uninterested

liking plants and wanting to take care of them (used to tease my mom that all her efforts for her garden are useless since plants don’t have feelings)

how to get to the north through LRT 1 & 2

socializing with diff types of students with diff personalities

being understanding and forgiving

accepting that some of the things I want aren’t really good for me

letting go of things that aren’t good for me

We all do sin in one way or an other but I feel like I’ve been on a spree? I’ve committed a lot of mistakes the past few months. I got derailed a few times and found myself unconcerned at first but depressed when I realized what consequences awaited me. I completely cut off people (as a shortcut for solving my problems) though I didn’t have to and I could have saved my relationships with them. I exposed myself to people and allowed them to influence me with the wrong ways. Though as much as I want to regret all my life choices, there are still some lessons that I’m glad I learned the certain way.

I could also say that my perceptions and beliefs are slowly changing, again, I think. There are more to come. I’ve been good to the universe and though it challenges me and may seem inconsiderate at times, it’s not a reason for resentment!! It’s my last year as a teenager and I’m just hoping everything will be okay. That’s what my best friends always say.

turning 19 + wishlist🍑

If my parents didn’t lie about my birthday, well then I just turned 19 today.

*y’all gasps in unison*

Hello, I’ve been revived!

I decided to post on my birthday since I think it’s a good day (or excuse) to shed my skin. You know, typical new me vibes. I really miss being active here, I miss it so much. Tumblr has been my home since my Day 1 in this online world. I’ll never let go of it again despite how wrecked or weak I’ll get. I promise that. I may have hiatuses from time to time but I will never delete this. I’ve deleted quite a few accounts before and I have nothing but regrets. I’m not making the same mistakes again. Anyway, yes, I’m back. Again. Who knows when I will be MIA for the nth time again but I’m just glad I’m posting.

AND since it’s my birthday, I will also talk about my wishlist. You might think it’s kinda late because who would post a wishlist on the same day of their birthday??? Well I don’t really care. I’m just a skinny art student trying to live my life. 🌼

Mario Badescu Facial Spray with Aloe, Herbs and Rosewater - I’ve been hearing a lot of good reviews from pretty people I follow on the Internet about this product. They say it makes their skin moisturized without making your face oily at all. With that, I’m sold. I’m a big skincare fan and I just want to fulfill my iconic ulzzang dream.

Nature Republic’s Aloe Vera Gel - My friend suggested me to try this skin gel. It’s perfect for summer in the Philippines since it’s not “cream based” and won’t melt and sit on your skin. It works on my friend’s skin really well despite that he has a super duper sensitive skin (he gets pissed when we touch his face :P) I kinda regret that I didn’t buy it when I had the chance. I’m definitely going back to that store.

MUJI Dotted Notebook - The last time I went to the nearest MUJI store, they were out of stock. I’m into bullet journal and I currently use my lined MUJI notebooks. I still feel I’m missing out big time though. I’ve never really liked lines on notebooks because I think they restrict my ~ flow ~. I think, this kind of notebook would be really nice. You have no idea how much I want a dotted/ grid notebook. I want it so bad oh god.

White Fishnets Stockings - They look preeettyyy. I can’t find any local store that sells them so I might be forced to buy on AliExpress or something and hope for the best. Please HMU if you know where to get them.

Mixx Mixx’s Check Hem Panel Faux Wrap Mini Skirt - This skirt reminds me of Karen Yeung. I love her so much, she’s one of my favorite girls from the Internet. She was the one who pushed me to cut my hair. She’s my queen.

UNIF’s Listen To God Jacket - I’m too broke to buy this jacket, I think it will forever stay in my wishlist.

So these are the stuff I want to buy myself (if you love me, you can too bUT Jk). I’m planning to buy some of them when I receive my birthday money.

Just to let you know, the last time I typed a post was just weeks ago. I never posted it because that draft was full of unnecessary sorry’s, excuses, and comeback announcements. I’ve been apologizing since the end of 2016, you have no idea how much I’ve wanted to get out this rut. It was a sad post written at 4 in the morning. I expressed how much I disliked myself and unmotivated I was. This is an excerpt:

Life for me has been an inconstant state of fleeting thrills and self-loathing. I’m surrounded with people who believes in me, which I’m forever grateful for, but I feel like I’m just letting them down. Everyday, I struggle not to feel like a disappointment. All I could feel is disgust inside of me. I endlessly argue with inner voices in my head as I walk on my way home. Sometimes I just want to disappear completely. Being disappointed with myself is the worst. I always tell myself to get better tomorrow but I never do, it never happens.

I hope I don’t relapse.

Welp anyway, it’s my birthday!!! We shouldn’t be sad here. This is a total different post. I just want to help myself. I think writing about my true feelings improves me and my mental health. I hope to be more productive and genuine this year. The truer I am to myself and others, the less insecure I’ll be. I will just keep on repeating that to myself and I won’t think twice about lending a hand to those who need it. So if ever anyone of you gets sad, expect me to message you. I may come off as a creepy online stalker (so I’m alr saying sorry in advance) but at least you know you’ve got a friend in me.

Hello, everyone! Gillian, Tin and I thought of giving back to you guys since you’ve all been so patient, loving and kind with us. We’re just normal human beans but you’ve given us so much support and interest with what’s going on with our lives and our crafts. This is a little giveaway just to tell you that we appreciate every single one of you! We won’t be staying here if it weren’t for you guys and it’s just a small act of kindness to give back and give you smiles. Funny backstory to making this possible is when Tin and I just talked about how we’ve been planning to host a giveaway and then Gillian also mentioned something similar to me and I thought, why not host a joint giveaway? Ta-dah! Here it is!

Without further adieu, click to read more for the specifics in order to enter this giveaway!

Get a chance to be the lucky hooman!! Join our adorkable giveaway ♡♡♡

Spent my Day 1 of Christmas break with the most creative friends I look up to: Cheska, Julian, Elaine, Alanis (and her pet dog Sergi the corgi!). I’m happy I’ve met them (ty Internet for giving me cute human friends). They’re all passionate in their fields, you definitely should check their work out! Words won’t suffice how much they inspire me. They help me grow + keep me motivated to stay in my track.

I was with them the whole day and it was such a nice feeling to hang out with like-minded people who enjoy analog film, board games, animals, and sloppy doodles as I. We had milkshakes and came up with the weirdest Cards Against Humanity matches at TableTaft Cafe. We also walked along Harbor Square and dubbed to random dogs in the park.

life lately

live art/ and drew smol portraits for Reese Lansangan’s fan meetup event, my friend @wombatrai was there too and did the saem thing

started selling my art (stickers), I’m planning to put them up on a separate page or something but just hmu if you want some

drew portraits (again!!) for Moonleaf’s 2017 Planner launching event

got to perform a shadow play at Museong Pambata (we performed outside the school for the first time uwu)

went to UP’s Friday Fright Night - an outdoor cinema event where people laid on the grass and watched horror/ suspense/ thriller films

remember when I told about shooting for my friend’s personal Halloween project? we decided to submit it as an entry for UP Cast’s Aswangan 2016 and we won Ocastokat Award!! huhu you can watch it here (I’m warning you I’m disgusting af but yea I’m proud of my friends)

Do you still remember me? If yes, thank you for always being here. If not, hello I’m Tin, a very inconsistent human being (TT n TT)

Ahhh I’ve been really busy and I don’t think I still need to explain this?? I still have the same old reasons (plates + org + events + etc.). I know that you guys are already tired of posts like this; apologizing, more excuses, and stuff so I won’t promise to be active here anymore.Telling your readers to anticipate for more content but ending up not posting anything for a month frustrates everyone. I’m sorry it’s hard for me to keep up. I’ll just try to put up small snippets whenever I can just to prevent this blog from rotting.

I’ve been doing really fine. Never thought that I’d be proud of myself and the things that I do one day but *sigh* I love you, self. I’ve accomplished quite a few cute things the past weeks. If I could just kiss myself, I really would. I never expected any of these. I am one happy little child. Cute vibes, cute friends - just keep coming into mi life please and never leave me again.

I talk more here: Twitter, Instagram !!!

life lately

I miss being active here and interacting with all of you. Apparently, balancing acads, org work, internship, and ~friend errands~ isn’t that easy. I’m weirdly enjoying it though. I’m enjoying this “occupied” state.

But I also have to admit that I’m having a pretty hard time catching up with this blog and some personal duties (personal art, being creative, whatnot). Despite the heavy workload from my random ganaps, I still don’t feel productive enough. So I’m really trying my best to manage my time effectively. :-(

I actually want to write about all my cute adventures lately. But I don’t have a decent pic or anything as a keepsake so I’m still thinking how can I present them in a not-so-boring way. I really want to preserve and share my favorite memories as creative as I can. For now, I hope these little snippets from my low qual phone camera suffice. 👀✨

playing never have I ever game BUT slurping ramen instead of alcohol

free pass museum hopping

scoring good deals at thrift/ vintage shops

participating in an experiential Martial Law exhibit

falling inlove with Pedro Gil’s neon lights at 3 in the morning

^ deeply fascinated by its underrated night life

trying not to drown in acads, help me

small talks and chill drinks on the rooftop

midnight rain + warm ramen, again (we luv our ramen)

shooting something for my friend’s personal halloween project

splurging and supporting artsy friends at Local Loca, Cubao Expo

September was the busiest month so far this year. It sounds cheesy but I’d actually like to describe September as ~electrifying~. It was such a fast month with a lot of accomplished things and I just felt thrilled everyday.

9/8/2016: Garaparty

lines, security, thursday, wine, graphic, late, chase, noise, adrenaline

LISTEN: https://youtu.be/0o9IKHfkTlg

#grain #technicolor #lights #grunge #art #exhibit #garaparty

so, I made you a mixtape

For this month’s @mixtapesmade‘s theme (Hey Nomad/ fantasy vs reality), I got paired to @littlemissnika and I created a playlist consisting of dreamy and handpicked tracks.

I wanted this mixtape to give off indistinct feelings with its muffled words and meditative beats to help the listener contemplate and figure out what’s true and what’s not -- when something is just too surreal to happen, or too long to last, or too soon to end.

#playlist #film #dreamy #shoegaze

I’ve always wanted to make vlogs but since I lack skills and the courage to actually talk and let my awkward voice be heard by my online friends, I just decided to make a gif series about what’s in my school bag. I won’t be very talkative in this post because I’m pretty sure y’all already know the purposes of these things inside my backpack, ofc hehhuahuha ; A ;

So please click keep reading if u want ~da full deets and da real deal ~

I’m so cheesy peace out. (u_u)

weekly update:

been productive this week ♡ ♡ ♡

I’m actually working on a personal project titled Blind Items !! I haven’t finished it yet but you can already view it on be.net/tindelossantos

Polly Patch were looking for art interns and I just decided to email my CV and portfolio to them, now I have a scheduled interview tomorrow and I'm really nervous aw huhu, this is my first time with such stuff but let’s see ??? and if I don’t get in, I guess it’s okay... at least I get to know, as early as now, how interviews go (hello real world)

school stuff: unfortunately, my schedule still sucks. I may only have 3 school days pero all my classes end at night (7pm and 9pm) + I have 6-9pm org meeting every M, W, TH #:-(

^ because of that, my parents finally decided to let me stay in a place near my school, even just for this term. so ayun, I moved out of our house last night and I could just hope that I don’t find it hard to adjust with da ~everythingz~ bc I’m such a baby (tbh don’t even bother befriending me I’m so gross and clingy)

my school just started today and only one of my profs showed up. she’s this typical religious nanay-lola figure and she wants us to call her Ginang Babes (though I’m starting to get a feeling that I might fail her Filip12 class huhu I think the lessons wil be hard)

#wifi signal is very naghihingalo #street #patch

My Skincare Routine:

Back in high school, I really didn’t care that much about my skin’s health. I didn’t have a lot of skin problems anyway. On regular mornings, I’d wash my face with just tap water (l’d even skip it when I felt like being a homebody). I always stayed up late + didn’t like drinking enough liquids and still, had a clear skin. Thank you very much genes, I guess?

But that was back then!! A lot has changed in my body; like when I find it hard to cope up with stress, it now shows on my skin. So, I did a little research and I learned that it’s a must for everyone to have their own skincare routine. Even if you have the clearest skin on earth, you still need it! In the future, your skin will thank you for preventing the sun and other shiznat from damaging it and for giving it enough foundation to fight for the early signs of aging.
