Hello!!! I’m back. I wasn’t really on a blogging hiatus but if If there’s anything I’m good at doing lately, it’s panicking, making my brain freeze & my heart beat really fast. I’m just so overwhelmed with all the pending things I have to finish in all aspects of my life. *Ahhhh* No matter how […]
I was recalling how I stopped eating chocolate cake for a week after visiting the cake studio where my wedding cake was being made. Ponggo’s aunt asked me to sit down & wait as she mixed her ingredients. Then, she opened a box from the freezer & took out a cube of butter. By cube,
For a while there, I was already contemplating on living solely on Instagram. Then I realized I can’t! My work involves having to be silent for hours & clicking the day away watching design elements or numbers move, so I totally need a venue for some brain fart. Sometimes, I feel like “Oh, the people

A year ago, after reading an article about travelling in Frankie Magazine, I told Ponggo that maybe we should write to the government of Iceland and tell them that maybe we could visit their country and blog about it. Then, we both laughed so hard because it seemed such a ridiculous idea. Fast forward to
One day, I found myself hanging out at Mansy’s studio not knowing what to do with my life. We were supposed to craft together but it ended up as a counselling session. Hahahaha. At that time, I had so much self-doubt. I didn’t even know what to do anymore. I also didn’t know if I was
I was cleaning up my desktop. The past weeks have been unexpectedly crazy busy and as much as I didn’t want icons clogging my screen, I had screenshots here & there for projects, blog posts et cetera. *I just love spelling et cetera that way. Hehehe. I don’t know why.* Anyway, I stumbled upon this
Hello Guys! Ponggo here. Aaaaccccckkkkk!!! I think I am working too much recently. It just means one thing: Time to have a break! Here are our Top 5 Ways to Take a Break: 1) Get some fresh air! – We really love the outdoors & fresh air is a welcome change to the heavily polluted air that
For the nth time, while watching a documentary, I blurted out my usual line “What if there are snakes?” Ponggo hates me for this. I don’t know why this is my default question whenever he brings up the topic of plants, hiking, forest & desert. Hehehehe. Don’t get me wrong though, I enjoy hiking. Once
This is what has been going through my mind over the weekend: There are certain things that money can’t really buy: sanity, inner peace, inspiration, hope and LOTS OF SLEEP! Hehehe. Well, what about happiness? I don’t know. I didn’t want to include happiness yet because I still tend to associate it with that fleeting
I’ve always been daydreaming about the day that I would just be staying at some random place in the world, travelling, blogging and working. So, when I stumbled upon the Big Blog Exchange website approaching the long weekend in August, I got really excited. Well, at first, I panicked. How do we get everyone to vote when
When Ponggo & I got married, I was complaining about how he loves soup & noodles so much I find it boring. I also feel that his food is too spicy it hurts my tongue & tummy! Fast forward to almost three years later, the hubby is now complaining about my never-ending Chinese hand-pulled noodle
I was recently asked by someone, “When do you know that your work is done?” Well, I really wanted to say “Umm…When the time’s up?” I usually stop when I know I’ve given it my all and I know there’s not much I can do. When I start obsessing & revising only to find out
I must admit, it could really get overwhelming most of the time. I mean, how many social networking sites do I really need? I’m happy they’re interconnected but sometimes, I also have to open the ones I rarely use just because someone sends me a message via that app. Then, there are notifications coming in
I don’t really know where to begin. We watched the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie last Friday & I was initially thinking of doing a “What to Ask Yourself After Watching TMNT” post but I think you might give me THE stare if I start giving out spoilers. 😛 Anyway, if you haven’t watched it,
I originally made this random doodle after the trip to Pinto Museum. I was so in love with their blue wooden doors and the lush flora that filled their space! But, I didn’t get to post it then because I was busy nagging myself that I always keep on letting my blogging style evolve that
If I actually wrote this post a couple of hours ago, I would have probably accelerated the depreciation of my keyboard no thanks to the fact that my staccato typing fingers will be noisier than usual. Anyhooz, after a couple of crepes (& I’m so happy the waiters didn’t judge me), a cup of hot
I just got home from the Tatt Awards 2014 at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City. I actually almost forgot that it’s an awards night. Seated on the third row, I was in AWE by Bamboo’s performance, it’s practically the highlight of my night! What is a-w-e-s-o-m-e? Bamboo & KZ Tandingan wow the crowd!
These days, there are more venues to express ourselves and more places it can be seen (stalked & critiqued). That’s why, more & more, we get conscious with what we say. (Or, are we?) My friend Val once said he’s so keen on what he writes on the internet because he doesn’t know what Google
Every once in a while, I always get a mini-burnout. I’m saying mini because it only lasts for a days and sometimes for a few hours. So far, I haven’t had that bout that spanned months and months. Normally, I’m just tired of one medium, style or project. During these times, I always try to
