Form and function are two things that should but don’t always go together so it’s a treat every time I come across furniture and home accessories that celebrate both. There’s something so attractive and interesting when a piece is so useful and yet can be classified as a fine piece of art as well. (That […]
How are you guys?? It seems like a week ago, we were just in Cebu for less than 24 hours for a workshop and now another week is about to end again! Wahhh. Also, if you caught us on Facebook live, the photos here were shot last May and it’s as if I slept, woke
I’ve always been wanting to share some tips on how to make your colors vibrant but them pregnancy hormones have been kicking in and I’m just usually asleep. For example, I actually started working on my outline and practicing my monologue for TypeLabMNL more than a month ago. (Yes, I would speak to myself in
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,
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
Every time April 26 approaches, I panic a bit. I don’t know what to write about. I’m done going through the lengthy history of how the Googly Gooeys came about and doing something similar each year would be boring. I also don’t know if I should stop explaining that April 26, 2009 was the evening that
I just noticed recently that I’ve been spending so much time thinking and trying to make the Googly comics more realistic. Especially when I’m working on stuff that have large fandoms, I get paranoid. I start thinking, “Oh my gosh! What if the bat symbol on Batman‘s belt lacks an extra flap?” “The real potato
It’s probably not the most glamorous or lunch-friendly thing to admit but now & then, Ponggo & I get tummy aches. For one, he has a very sensitive tummy that can only handle uber uber clean water and not too much oil. He also looooves chili. Too bad, his body is not a fan. On
Ahhh! This is it! It’s 2014. I can’t believe I’m writing twenty fourteen. It feels like such a weirdly futuristic date. Well, the holidays are almost over and those days of eating, sleeping & meeting people will soon be over. I’ve never had this much sleep in my life! Every year, we pretty much know
I’ve been wanting to write about this for a couple of weeks now but I tried postponing it until my pile of pending artworks came to a decent level. I’ve been scrambling to find my scratch paper of notes this morning (proof that I must really get myself a notebook) and I thought I almost
This been a busy year or rather, a busier year. I know I’m not supposed to be claiming to be an authority at being able to manage my schedule. From time to time, I always panic and get stressed about what I’ve put myself into. However, I’ve been trying to change the way I work
Dear Santa, This Christmas, I’m not even wishing for a toy, a Lego house or a set of art materials. Apparently, the things I’m wishing for these days are stuff that cannot be bought or sold! Here’s my grown-up Christmas list: 1) I wish it would rain chocolates! -I’d also like to be specific about
Signs That You’re Obsessive Compulsive: If you ever get to see our house, you know we’re not an obsessive compulsive bunch because it’s always sooo messy. If you look at my books, they all have these funny random bookmarks, washi tapes, highlights or dog ears–it’s a book lover’s nightmare! You will also see the same
Make yourself look thinner in photos! This is what I’ve been guilty of lately. No folks, you won’t find a step-by-step tutorial here on how to liquify your curves on Photoshop & other digital techniques. I’m actually sticking to the basics. I even forgot to include the following: 1) Crop unwanted fats away (always the
We’ve always been mentioning how much our schedule has been crazy busy lately. So, instead of talking about our daily woes cloaked in a colorful presentation, let’s shift to something lighter & try to recount what rewards that we’d like to give to ourselves after a busy work day, work week, a busy month, year
Finally! In the middle of my crazy week, Ponggo has convinced me to step out of my lair and bring back a bit of sanity into my life. Through time, I have learned that aside from not choosing to sacrifice sleep, the other way to cope with stress is to insert a break–some guilt-free time
Worrywart = If you worry too much, you’ll eventually start growing warts! *Corny* Anyway, read on & check if you’re a worrywart from Hogwarts! *Ahh…forgive me. My brain’s half-awake!* More comics for the worrysome! Attempts to Sleep I Think I Think Too Much Social Networking Detox End of the World: The Cycle of Predictions The
We went to a party the other night and Ponggo had to park our car some blocks away from the venue. I was about to enter the club and then I saw a sea of people whom I didn’t know & I got terrified. I’m usually feel just okay when I’m surrounded by a crowd
We were literally melting last weekend! Okay, not literally. Then again, the weather has proved to be crazy. The summer heat (at least in this side of the world) has been testing our nerves and sanity. Well, Saturday morning until afternoon wasn’t so bad but when we bought yogurt & milk tea to cool us
I was revisiting some Switchfoot tracks last week and I heard the line ♩♪ stars looking at our planet watching entropy and pain ♫♬ Suddenly, the idea for this cartoon came to me. It just dawned upon me that not all kinds of pain are physical and that not all of them have readily available over-the-counter remedies.
