the random post that i should have posted a long time ago

oh hai!!

really sorry for the long absence. work has been, well you know how work is. it's crazy! but still bearable, but still, crazy! lately i have been calling up and meeting with suppliers to choose materials. you know, mosaic, tiles, door handles, anything and everything you can think of that exist in a home/office, it involves the architect to choose the color, type, and then you have to ask a few of the companies to come up with a quotation for price comparisons.

just when i think choosing materials won't be as difficult as thinking about what to wear to the office the next day. i was wrong. so wrong. i came to realise it would be as difficult but *fun, seriously* as fashion. you know in fashion one would be thinking hmm what type of fabrics, and then comes the zipper, the buttons, the add ons? same applies to materials.

here's an example to relate. ok so now i need some tiles. the client would want something that is in trend for their customers, so can you imagine from that tons of tiles selection, one will first narrow down the selections by asking the supplier, show me the latest trend. and then comes the color, and the types. homogeneous tiles? matt? polished? size?

well come to think of it choosing the right shade would be a much more complicated process. there is just tons, literally tons of shade in a color. beigey beige? whitish beige? slightly darker beige? ho hum. now which shade would i want... and then, you have to think about the human factors behind all these colors and type selections. like for example if you're choosing tiles for a refuse room you wouldn't want to choose something in a light color as a dark color would be much more easier for maintenance. 

the whole process would apply to the other materials. it's nice shopping for materials. i admit it is something that i really enjoy if compared to doing the cad drawings. design and choosing all the materials. i likey. cad drawings? i wish i could just dump it all to the draftsman.

and then i realize i type all the stuff above and saved it as draft. might as well publish it since i did take some time to type all of this. sorry for wasting some of your precious minutes!

*big smile*
