About Us

These are the eyes behind Augenblick:

JOLINA LANDICHO

    Laugh all you can but this girl exists.

    Someone who loves to ask silly questions and find answers in weird and particularly remarkable ways. I usually dizzy others with my mood swings but I love making people laugh and bring them up when they're on the edge of that stiff cliff; even to the extent of making a fool out of myself. That's why I am one of those people who are sort of like apples of the eyes of the bullies. Yeah, I can be your cute stress ball or your shock absorber but limit it to something I can handle or say goodbye to your bright sunny days.

    I range myself in the middle of a girl with pink ruffles and a punk rock Gothic girl. I can be anything. I almost never put my smile in my pocket and that's what I love about me. Fashion, music, love and huge dark chocolates-- these are what fills me.

    I may not be that awesome girl who stands out in the crowd with her extremely good looks and know-it-all brains but I don't even try to be one, anyway. I am unique and I love being me.

JOYCE VELASCO

    Joyce but not joyful, not jolly. I always want to be a happy person, a positivist or optimistic but I’m more of a pessimist. I’m always on the negative side. I don’t know why but I’m drawn to melancholic things, seems like when I feel that life is unfair, life is bullsh*t and all, I start to gain inspiration. I’m not the type of person who gets inspired with all the sun-bright things. When I’m happy and everything’s fine – okay, I tend to not appreciate the moment. But when I’m down and I feel dejected, gosh inspiration and all these dreams greater than great come rushing in and I start to appreciate what I have.

      Different, yes. Weird, yes. Introvert, yes.

My mood, it goes up and down. Up and down, down, down and down again… down under, down under six feet?! (Of course, not to that level). Most of the time, I’m down but I don’t get stuck ‘coz I rise up.

       I can be noisy, yes. Especially when I’m comfortable with the person I’m talking to.

My relaxation, travelling. I love to travel, I love going places alone. I love going somewhere by myself, places where no one knows me. In these kinds of places, I feel free, like I can do whatever I want – like I can dream the biggest dreams.

      I may be different. And I may be the person you never wanted. But one thing that I am sure of, I can be a friend. I am here and I can listen.

CHRISTINE JOANNE REYES

            Hi! I’m the socially-awkward-one among this group. Yeah, people stereotype me as this quiet introvert girl. But actually, when I become comfortable with you, I transform into this noisy fun goofball. And once we become close, I’m sure one day you’ll ask yourself “Oh my glob! Why did I befriend this crazy rascal?”

            When it comes to my interests, I can say that my heart belongs to art. Nevertheless, I also have a little bit of fascination over fashion, music astronomy, animals and scary stuff. I also belong to a huge variety of fandoms. Well, what can I say, fangirling is inevitable for teenage girls like me.

           So that's it! I may just be this ordinary girl, but I am unique and that makes me “simple but rock”.

ALYSSA MAE REYES

       I am a typical person with a typical personality. I prefer to be the shadow of my own self hiding behind the walls of silence and lingering on the ink of my thoughts. Nevertheless, I speak out whenever my values are debased but despite the silence, I am happy and gay. I like small talks with big words and deep thoughts. A bit clueless at times. Single and single-minded. A proud introvert which means I enjoy solitude often times. I love poems and rhymes. I love mystery, solving mystery and likewise be personally in the depths of a mystery. Hence, other things about me remain mysterious and yet to be discovered. 

       And scribbles..I love senseless scribbles!

        “Never underestimate the compelling ability of unruly scribbles” 

JERRYCA MARIE DOLON

     "Know your pace and start the race." It was always a matter of knowing what fits me as I work through things. I love writing and photography but I never rush on learning these. I always love to wait even though things really aren't working. Hopeful yet sometimes drawn to lack self sufficiency.

     Buying notebooks and pens are my vices. I always justify my compulsive buying by saying I needed writing materials. I write about almost anything under the sun. Most of the experiences are worth the try specially when it all helped me grow as a writer. Complemented with a menial skill in photography, I always wanted to write in magazines or in newspapers someday. Hopefully after grad.
