Here's What We Call A Beginning.

It was Wednesday, August 7 2013, when my boss and my team mate accompanied me to endorse a product design and development awareness program to the Tarlac State University.

The project was originally targeting students, preferably freshmen from the College of Architecture and Fine Arts. Luckily, Prof. Pecson was there to comment and present the potentials of including higher year levels and even graduates... An insightful contribution to the project.

We from the first phase of the Local Designers Program are going to launch the project on the 23rd of August, at Robinson's Luisita, Tarlac City.

Note to self: If you're gonna blog, make sure you've got pictures. Jeez this wall of text looks boring.
