Hello Readers,

We’ve been a bit pensive the past copule of days so let’s make it a bit light today, shall we? ๐Ÿ™‚
Are you ready???
Last year, during our trip to Europe, we brought with us the Xiaomi Redmi Phone so we can all test it out for ya. ย  We were so curious at that time since this was the brand that people was going crazy for online!

Ponggo & Xiaomi RedMiBut this time, we’re giving away a fresh new unit of Xiaomi Redmi1s. ย For those who are curious, here’s the lo down on the specs:

Xiaomi Redmi1s
Dual Sim
Quad-core Qualcomm MSM 8228 1.6GHz
4.7-inch IPS Retina Display
8MP BSI Camera
1.6MP Front Camera
1 GB Ram
2000/2050mAH (min/typ) High-Capacity Battery

Okay. ย Wait. ย Let me admit to you that I understood only a couple of lines that I wrote but Ponggo did. ย At least I know how this actually translates to the real feel of the phone. Haha.

Did you know that Xiaomiย is also selling really awesome products that are not necessarily phones nor powerbanks? ย They have clothes, shoes, pillows, back packs, water bottles and the like? ย Youย may check out the list of Xiaomi products here.

The clay figures above were made by Al Estrella and since he’s so good at clay figures, I felt so pressured to create decentย cap and pair of ears for Tipsy & Ponggo that pretty much fitted their bodies.

Tipsy Ponggo Googly Gooeys Clay FiguresJust to give you an idea, here’s how my workspace looked like when I was working. ย It was funny because I was doing it at a cafe. ย It was pretty tricky to chase the colors. ย When you mix watercolor, you just stir them on your palette but with clay, I had to mash them until they blendedxj well. ย I applied the same color mixing methods that is used in watercolor (e.g. add purple / brown to make a color desaturated). ย It may look like I used ready-made colors but each one actually has 2-3 colors in them. ย By the way, those are my thighs…That’s where I store my fats and they keep me warm. ย Thank you Abbey for the photo.
