  • 5 - 05 Tears

    Humans are the only mammals known to produce tears as part of an emotional response. We shed tears of joy, tears of grief. Some of you may have shed a tear for a project that never pushed through, while some for a project team that has thrown you under the bus. Whatever the reason is, this combination of salt and water is an inevitable part of life.

    In this episode of Kevin and Cherry talks about the lowest of lows. We recall the times when we were at the bottom of the pit, from which there is no hope. And how it made us all stronger.

    Music by Ketsa, Fergie.

  • 4 - 04 Lost

    Where am I? Why am I here? What is a concealed gutter detail?

    We’ve all been there. Somewhere you did not intend to be. Somewhere you were not prepared to be. You set out to be the greatest architect in the world, yet you’re rendering a toilet perspective for the 16th time, at 3 in the morning. Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

    In this episode of Kwento Kwenta, we tackle the sorrows of being lost, getting stuck in personal and professional limbo — and the joyful discoveries we make along the way.

    Music by Ketsa & Debbie Gibson.

  • 3 - 03 Ang Gulo

    In this episode we talk about the stresses of work and how productivity and creativity are not necessarily friends. We get confused on what we're talking about midway on the show. We're sleepy, we're ranting, and we're trying out Facebook Live! for the first time. Cheers!

    What makes you take that first step, that jump? In this episode of Kwento Kwenta, join me and Cherry as we ramble about one of life’s greatest moments — beginnings

    From waking up, to taking that big leap to start a life-long dream, we all go through this—the first step. It’s full of excitement, full of terror, sometimes both. It can last a second, or can feel like you’re stuck in it your whole life. From coming up with a concept for a difficult project, to putting up your own firm, or even just standing up for your self, we all have to start somewhere.
