Picking Baby Names (Part 4)

/

So, Ponggo & I were talking the other day & we were thinking, what if the baby was born on Christmas eve or Christmas day? We were picking baby names and toying around with the idea of changing his second name to something else like Noel, Christian, Emmanuel and stuff? Then, we thought of names from Christmas songs like Rudolph, Daher, Prancer, Frosty (the snowman) or even Olaf as our friends suggested so at least it’s more updated thanks to the animated movie Frozen.

Doodling on a Different Level: Titus Pens iDoodle Challenge

/

I’ve been doodling since I was a kid.  I remember that by the time I got to college, this was my past time.  I would doodle summaries of the sections I was reading for a Philosophy class.  I’d doodle in class instead of taking down notes to entertain myself.  But, the Titus Pens iDoodle Challenge

Wahh! It’s been more than a year since we’ve been to Amsterdam.  I always felt guilty about not being able to blog about this! This was the last leg of our trip after the Big Blog Exchange last year.   Fall was in full swing and the colors of the city were really pretty!  I just

Somewhere between waiting to give birth and just having finished a project, I’m actually laughing about the title I just made.  It’s as if I’m doing a feature of a product in the third person. Well, Around the World with the Googly Gooeys will be available in National Bookstore branches this week! 🙂 At first,

The other day, I was busy fixing some quirks on this website.  It felt like such a chore.  It required me to visit most of our old posts. Anyway, as usual, I’d easily get lost and distracted and I would start reading older entries.  Some would make me cringe I want to delete the whole

I don’t often talk about this here but before I started blogging, I was actually in the corporate world.  I spent less than three years there but I wasn’t able to save properly.  I realized, my earnings always went to coffee, a good lunch and monthly rewards for myself like dresses and things that are

When we launched the Oh Brighter Days collection last August, we just got home from our Singapore Workshop.  Then, the months after that seemed to compete with each other in terms of schedule with the following happening: La Union Workshop Katipunan Art Festival New Workshop: Brush Lettering Meets Paper Cutting Watercolor and Lettering Workshop Work &

Sorry for being MIA here on the blog and Instagram lately.  I spent the past few days catching up with some family time and preparing our tiny home for the newest member of our family. 🙂 I felt so adult when I bought a couple of drawers and groceries.  It’s feels like bahay-bahayan but not with

The hardest part about chatting is when you have to say good night and your brain keeps spewing out ideas and stories. Haha. I don’t know how many times I have to say good night to my friends and say “Ooooooh! Wait, by the way” …then “Good night” again and so on. Repeat this process

For so many years, I’ve been wondering if I should share these personal photos and the stories behind them.  But then, I realized, a good chunk of you have been with us since we started back in 2009. 🙂  We were still dating then not knowing that a few months into making the comics, we’d

Hallo Guys! 🙂 🙂 A lot of you have been asking us in person as to who is it who loves taking photos, that’s both of us.  But today, Ponggo’s taking over the writing. *Yeah right, you will actually find my entries in italics because I’m talkative like that.*     T: As usual, I prepared

The traffic in the Metro has really been crazy.  Last Friday, it took us 2 hours & thirty minutes to traverse 7 kilometers.  Whoaaaa!  A couple of days before that, I ended up spending two hours on what could have been a 40-minute travel. Wahh!  Every single time I’m stuck in that situation, I end

Since the Katipunan Art Festival, I found a renewed love for taking photos and I suddenly remembered why I really love blogging in the first place.  Aside from sharing comics and personal stories now and then, I enjoy being able to freeze a few moments in time through photos. Since that day we had a

A couple of weeks back, I received a friend request form an artist I’ve been following for years now and I turned red–another friend of mine was a witness.  I’m not very good at being a fan girl in real life. I just give anyone I idolize a sheepish grin while being unable to compose
