    It has been a while so I just wanna give a small but quick update. I went back home to the province
around 2020 because of covid and the horrible lockdown. Spent the rest of the months there in isolation with
my family. I started collecting things and buying random stuff online that I wanted to collect since
I was a kid. I bought lolita dresses, Furby's, dolls and a bunch of other knick knacks and dollies. I went back
to assign an appointment with my doctor and I am... yes, still Bipolar lol but we also found out I might
have ADHD after all. I am still on meds though, and I am now in a much better mental state than before..


Around 2020 I went back to the city to study traditional painting. I made a few but really cool friends who I still keep in touch online and it is very sweet. I also kept on going back and forth from province to city
because I wanted to see friends and wanted to plan out how we are going to decorate my old room.
I started taking tailoring classes at the start of 2023 and also did Taekwondo on the side! I became much
more in shape and felt better and not "useless" because during the pandemic I did nothing but play
Animal Crossing and Left 4 Dead with my friends online. I felt useless because I was a NEET for some time
but now I wanna go back to my journey and develop my skills in art and design. It is now been half a
year and I am proud to say I finally started getting my life back on track. I have decided to keep this blog updated since it has been with me for some years and looking back
at my old writings and posts made me cringe but also inspired to go back at it again. I did however
took a break from doing drag, but angel01d still continues to live with me and my body. I am now in the cosy confines of my new pink painted room typing on a small table I got from IKEA
trying to unpack the mess I made because I just came back from the province again. Some random new things about me: ~ I started collecting Pinky Street figures and even got the Yuki Nagato one
~ I learned how to tailor my first pair of pants a few months ago ~ I have not been able to save money because of my hobbies and growing collection of stuff.
~ I got a lifesize Rilakkuma plush that sits on my bed and occupies half of it.
~ I got beat up in a Taekwondo match but ended up winning and got a gold medal!
~ I have grown out my natural hair and got it straightened and it was one of the best things I did. ~ I like the color pink now




photo of me in a hotel room bathroom a few weeks ago...
took me a while to upload since I had to get the film developed.
we used an expired waterproof film camera hence the quality being like this lol.


photo taken by my friend jessie



this is the only good pic we got from underwater, the instructions said it is better to shoot in daylight but clearly I was a little too late for that and we shot at night time so I thought maybe if there was a close light source it would help! it did but only a tiny bit. it was still a great shot!





This photo is quite difficult to see but it is a pic of my bag inside a ferris wheel~ I was so relaxed until I got to the top, because you are higher than anyone else when you get there.
thankfully I didn't panic and was able to enjoy and listen to music <3!

Flesh, Blood and Veins




Flesh,blood and veins, I was born with. 

But a machine is the mold I was ordered to fit in. 

Molded to serve a purpose. That I still try to find to this day. 

I hope I never do, because of the joy in search for something, anything or nothing... will start to disappear.

I hope I never do, because when I do...what else is left there to find?

I try to forget

And so instead I start to dream

I dreamed to be a picture, a doll or a crystal.

With so much beauty that it will never expire.

But with flesh, blood and veins, I was born with.

Born in a way

Fit in a machine kind of way

Trapped in a shell kind of way

Against my will, kind of way.

Will probably never find a way

To be a a picture, nor a doll ... nor a crystal.

Just a machine 

With flesh, blood and veins.

H O M O A U T O M A T A



Humans and Automatons become one fabric of nature. 






                In a world directly parallel to ours, this is how the anticipated world is foreseen.

Everything is digitized & commoditized; packaged in plastics and easily disposable, including humans.

To survive in this world means to manufacture oneself in order to be of purpose, like a product placed on shelves next to countless others. Our bodies, faces, work & life must be picture perfect and posted in clean frames on our cellular phones, like products in display.

We are run by numbers, converted into codes. We are encased in an invisible facility with a community addicted with commoditization. Easily controlling us, with handcuffs made of codes and numbers.





                We are bred to become machines; to be a certain size, a certain creature, a certain shape.

 We are more machine than we are ever human.

Smart phones and stupid people, Sick humans and healthy diets; have we become artificial unintelligence? Have we doomed humanity by allowing the internet, cellphones and computers to control our anticipated world?

Humans that live are designed to work.





 

We are all built to serve a purpose that doesn’t exist.

We are ceaselessly trapped in a relentless cycle of creation and destruction.

We are condemned to be free.

We are human and we are machine.

About me 2.0

I decided to update this “About Me” post because the person I was a few years ago is a completely different being to who I am now. Maybe and I guess this is the perfect time to let you know a little more about me.

Greetings, I go by many different names, some call me Angel01d, some call me Angel, and some call me Zer0 but really you can just call me “A”. 
Different names summon a different part and being in me but you can call me “A” if you wish to just refer to me as a whole.
As I mentioned before, my name isn’t that important, but my mind, concepts and creations are.
I am a Fashion Design graduate from the Philippines, I graduated August of 2019 just a few months before quarantine came to change our lives.
I like to call myself a Fashion Artist rather than a designer as I see myself questioning Fashion more than solving its problems. 
I am heavily influenced by Sci-Fi, provocative art, unusual Fashion choices and my experiences in playing video games and how it molded and shaped my brain as a kid.
I still consider myself a student even when I am not currently in a school as I am still learning; learning about our world, the people around me and products of my environment.
If you wish to check out my creations...
You may see my designs on my Instagram @anyarchy (ANYARCHY).
And also @pepita_anyarchy if you wish to check out my beloved mascot and character, Pepita !
@angel01d for my alternate character
and @stockinganarchy for my main account where I post most of the time.

This blog will revolve around my creations, my stories and just things I wish to share with people from every single corner of the earth.
I wish to inspire or help anyone through my works and learn during the process of mistakes and errors.
