We don’t know if we’re having a boy or a girl yet but I’ve definitely started picking baby names. I’ve already hinted on odd choices such as Ampersand & Asterisk in this previous post. The hubby is not pleased…at all. I’m thankful though for all you on Instagram who thought Ampersand was a legit name. […]
We don’t know yet if we’re having a boy or a girl but I’m definitely picking baby names for fun. Every time I get the chance to glance at names, I try to pick my favorites. I did it during the ABC’s of Hand Lettering book launch & I would also do it when going
Hello Guys! Hm…So what have I been up to lately? As I’m writing this, it’s still Ponggo’s birthday. I’ve been very consistent with putting up a social networking ready birthday greeting but today, hormones just took over my life spending most days nursing the late presence of morning sickness in my life. I’ve always been proud
Hello Readers, When we started the Googly Gooeys, people on Tumblr kept on asking me what our characters would be like if & when we had kids. Well, since it’s going to be pink + blue, they’re going to be different shades of purple. Fast forward to some 6 years later, I noticed some symptoms
These days, I find it increasingly difficult to wake up early in the morning which is strange because I’m a morning person. Then, thanks to taking long naps in the middle of the day, I end up finding it hard to sleep at night! Ugh. So, when I found my workout classmate’s Facebook status that
Hello hello! 🙂 Ponggo & I are excited to announce that we will be having a Singapore Watercolor Lettering Workshops session this August at The Untitled Space. 😀 So, to our readers based in Singapore, we would love to see you soon. As usual, we will be having our workshops here in Metro Manila this July.
I think it’s ironic that the drawing above has all the bright colors but the message it conveys is a bit on the pensive side. *Hmm…* I felt so stuck and uninspired last weekend. I don’t feel so good when I feel I already have everything figured out then I have to start answering new
Honestly, saying “honestly speaking” has always been awkward. This is so especially when the person you talk to is quick enough to pick up the fact that maybe the reason why you’ve been using the phrase is that you’ve been dishonest to them before! So, when you’re thinking about using that phrase, think again! It’s
Here’s a list of Calligraphy & Lettering Tools & Terms: Whew! Did you see how I made my way through Y there just to be able to build this alphabet? Hahahaha. I’m also hoping that it doubles as a brush lettering guide. Anyway, this was my original list. Feel free to let me know what
We watched Pitch Perfect some couple of weeks ago and this has been on repeat ever since. I was thinking of doing some version of illustrated lyrics like I used to here: Rolling in the Deep by Adele Hey Soul Sister by Train But, for this one, I just wanted to focus on these lines:
Hello Readers, We’ve been a bit pensive the past copule of days so let’s make it a bit light today, shall we? 🙂 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. We were so curious
This was supposed to be my post the other day but Ponggo told me that it was too frank and that I’m just begging for unsolicited reactions. This time, it’s not even about my work. Sure, I’ve seen so many headless Googly comics online (i.e. comics shared and gathering a really good amount of likes
This year, I’m so happy that I’ve actually streamlined my work into blogging & workshops. If I continued to accept commissions, I don’t know what will happen to everyone who needed to get their invites and materials done. I can’t keep them waiting forever. I always say “sleep is precious”. My body usually lets me
Whoa! This is fun! Not only am I attending one of the biggest smartphone launches in the country, I am also running the show for the online live stream! Oh yeah!!! The ASUS ZENFONE 2 is finally out in the Philippines! Sometimes, I become a complete nerd and geek out with all the gadgets
Finally! I can come clean about this: The Design Processs. I mean, I’ve been doing design commissions for almost a decade now and I’ve always wanted to write about all the ridiculous requests for revisions but I can’t. However, this year (until probably early next year), I’m taking a break from commissions so I can
Hello, hello! Thanks to everyone who have previously attended the watercolor, lettering, digitizing & doodling workshops! 🙂 People have been asking about other workshops aside from Watercolor & Brush Lettering lately so this month, we tried (re)introducing some workshop formats. *I honestly want to share some life story here or some fun & funny lines
Twenty-four hours ago, I found myself irked after seeing another “Huhuhu…I’m not so good at this” Instagram entry below an awesome photo / artwork / lettering work. It was also coupled with seemingly tortured and crying emojis. While typing this now, I don’t actually quite remember why it hit a nerve last night that it
As I’ve mentioned in the previous post, I’m such a bad blog owner. I wasn’t able to celebrate the Googly Gooeys birthday last April 26. And, it’s their 6th birthday at that! (And, I’m not supposed to be starting my sentences with ‘and’). But, I have a really good excuse and I’ll let you know
I’m so bad, it was the Googly Gooeys’ 6th birthday yesterday but I haven’t written about it. I have my draft but I don’t feel like it’s time to upload it yet so instead of coming up with something half-baked, I’d rather write about something else instead. 😉 *Yeah, apparently, birthdays can be postponed.* Anyhooz,
As you know, the real-life couple behind the Googly Gooeys is married. *Oh wait, why am I talking about myself in the third person?* Anyway, these days, the usual question we get is “When are you having kids?” or “Are you pregnant?” So, we needed to rely on you dear Googly readers to refresh our memory since
