First of all, I’d like to thank my friend Joyce for posting a photo of her paper cubes on Instagram and infecting me with the origami virus and generously teaching me how to do this. To whomever originally invented these paper cubes in Japan, thank you! 🙂 For some of you who are already following us on […]
I’m a bad cook. I really am. I mostly microwave stuff. Ponggo refuses to use the microwave. He loves his food cooked just the real way. He doesn’t care if it takes his beef curry 5 hours to cook or how much of a hassle it is to reheat his siopao by steaming it. On
It’s a new year (Happy New Year!) and as much as people want things to change, some things will always stay the same. Take for example Ponggo’s habit of deglamourizing stuff as in the cartoon above. When we were starting out with the Googly Gooeys, I wanted the cartoon to be all about pictures with
Christmas means more gatherings and reunions with friends which means you’re more likely going to have your picture taken this time of the year save for your wedding and birthday probably. 😉 Last week, I was reviewing our Christmas photo & I was wondering who this stranger was with her back at the camera. She
What am I doing for Christmas? We just had our Christmas brunch with the family & now, I’m here, sitting inside a hotel room, giving myself a couple of hours (and a half?) to let my legs recuperate from a week-long daily walkathon. I’m happy to report that my knees are A-okay (as if anyone
Gift-giving is probably not the most exciting part of our relationship. After so many years of trying, Ponggo has finally given up on me. I have way too many comments about all the presents he has given me. One year, he tries to guess the clothes I might like. Last Christmas, he bought me stuff that
I don’t know what is it with me these days but all I can think about when I’m not designing is f-o-o-d :O Muffins are not really my top of mind / go-to food but last week, someone bought a box of 4 and placed it inside the fridge. I really had no plans of
I don’t know how many times we will be hearing about end of the world announcements only to live the tale until the next…umm…doomsday revelation. The First time I heard about the concept of apocalypse was back when I was seven or eight when I was still learning about the planets in school. There were
If Christmas season were a movie, it’ll probably be the type that’ll get mixed reviews. It’s a blockbuster and the worst movie in one! It has a love-hate relationship with all those who celebrate it. I’m all for Christmas and the joy of being together with family & friends laughing & relaxing and such. However,
If you’ve been following us on Instagram. you’ll know what projects we’ve been working on in between all the cartoon posts. And, speaking of projects, through the years, I just realized that there are different types of projects / assignment / work / report–well, stuff to work on in general–based on the path they take!
As the song goes, ♩♪♫♬ Oh the truth hurts! The lies worse! ♩♪♫♬ Well, that has been my theme song lately. Nope, not for my married life but for my relationship with the weighing scale. Ever since I injured my knees, I’ve been in a losing battle to keep that number from going up. I’m so tired
Ever shopped for Christmas stuff with a back-up plan? Did you ever go, “Hmm…I’ll buy this notebook for my sister but if she doesn’t like it, I’ll have it! It must not go to waste”. Ponggo always sneakily buys stuff for his dad hoping that (a) they can share it or (b) if he doesn’t
Here’s another classic Tipsy & Ponggo conversation. I don’t know why I haven’t posted about this too! Ponggo always gets annoyed as to why I always ask him for advice & suggestions when I just always end up not following him or worse, refuting him or arguing with him about it. Haha. He hates it
My best friend (who lives on the other side of this world) & I were just chatting and this topic came up thus the workaholic cartoon: I think I’ve already written here a lot of times that I cannot not work. Even when I’m supposedly “resting”, I have to be busy in some sort of
I can’t believe I still haven’t posted a comic about this (until I stumbled upon it in my handy dandy notebook)! Here’s a classic Tipsy & Ponggo conversation that usually has that overused line “I’m not angry!” 😉 I always end up misinterpreting Ponggo especially when he’s concentrating and hard at work (with those
Here are five signs that you’re a stalker (by a stalker) 😉 With all the info about people’s lives in all social networking sites, deliberate or not, netizens end up being transformed into instant stalkers. One day you catch someone’s status update and voila, after 30 minutes, you’ve realized you’ve gone through the person’s albums,
If you’re aspiring to replace Rubeus Hagrid as a gamekeeper at Hogwarts then follow these steps for effortlessly tangled, frizzy, unruly hair! Then again, come to think of it, in this day & age whene our hair’s constantly exposed to pollution, our love for a quick lifestyle where we can’t even wait for our hair
One More Night Lyrics Continuing the Googly Gooey tradition of ignoring metaphors (yes, traditions are now formed in months in terms of internet years), here’s the One More Night lyrics sung by Maroon 5! 🙂 This song has been stuck in my head for a while now. As I’ve mentioned in my previous posts,
Busy people these apparently have time to update their Facebook status that they’re busy, complain about their workload on Twitter, take a picture of the pile of work they have to tackle on Instagram, Foursquare the cafe they’re working at, and give their audience a blow by blow account of how much stuff they still
Warning: This post has too many parenthetical phrases and asterisktical side comments. (That is, if the word “asterisktical” actually officially exists ;)) May I also warn you about the run-on sentences? Read at your own risk. In 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/32….
