All About Color This Weekend

Wahh! It’s been a week since I’ve blogged!  Oh noes. I tried staying away from social media as much as I can so I could finish all the crazy deadlines.  So far, I’m done with 2 final artworks, 1 talk, 1 workshop, 2 tiny paintings and I have yet to do 16 pages of doodles, […]

The Introvert

I know I’ve said this before but I noticed that a majority of the people I know from the blogging / social media world are actually introverts.  Well, they may appear as extroverts during events and gatherings but I would usually catch them in their downtime wearing a do not disturb me face. 🙂 Hehehe.

A Presentation + A Workshop with Manix Abrera

My August schedule has been heavy in terms of events but September is proving to be equally challenging with my daily deadlines.  I told Ponggo before the month started that for me to be able to tackle this huge task, I’ll give up blogging so I can streamline my tasks. Well, lo and behold, look

INK Fest 2015 + Two Sides of a Conversation

I don’t know when I will ever learn to be completely comfortable with the idea of this awkward non-reply in the middle of a conversation.  I must say though that I have improved over the years.  I no longer spend hours and hours questioning myself and doing some useless why-why analysis as to why I

Watercolor & Digitizing Workshops

Hello Guys! 🙂 We’re down to the last 5 workshops of the year. Well, I do have a confession to make. Before, I would schedule workshops only 1-2 months in advance but as soon as I found out I was pregnant last summer, I started booking most of the scheds coupled with tiny notes as

Katipunan Art Festival + My Work Cycle

I started the day feeling feverish but it ended up being a really productive day!   I’m just scared that every single time I’m feeling inspired or I get to do a lot of things, I sort of have crash next day.  My brain refuses to work and I enter that phase where I become

Of Exercise & Refilling the Calories Burned

Today, I really wanted to concentrate on my deadline.  But Ponggo noticed  I was getting burned out so I decided to start my day by exercising in the morning instead.  After that, I found myself refilling the calories I’ve burned. *Oops* People ask me why I still exercise, well, I always do for my mood

How Food Tastes Like + a Watercolor Blog Giveaway

I was so hungry the other day.  Burgers are not really my top of mind food but that day, the burger I was having was sooooo delicious.  I didn’t know if it was really tasty or if I was just really hungry.  But, I noticed, when I’m full, I tend to critique my food more.

Serving Size

I’m currently in my 5th month of pregnancy and my weight gain just skyrocketed.  Well, according to my pregnancy app, it is expected.  But, these days, since I no longer have crazy hormones that force me to return my food to where they originally belonged–outside my body, I can now eat more. *Woops!* Just today,

This post is dedicated to my non-romantic hubby Ponggo.  I remember very clearly last year, I asked him to buy my favorite paints for me.  I would like to think that every other guy would have probably given this to their girlfriend / wife / loved one complete with pet names, puppy eyes & baby
