Two things I wished for this year that I thought were so far from happening: (a) be able to hold workshops in different parts of the Philippines ?? (b) participate in an outreach program, specifically the one wherein I get to actually be the one to teach. I’m writing this as I’m inside the plane […]
This lay-out of all green school supplies takes me back to my college years. 🙂 My stuff then was mostly this color. I also remember how I would cut out letters from my favorite magazine to decorate my own notebook. Come to think of it, when I was in grades 4-6, a lot of my
Get ready to be inspired! 🙂 *Okay, that may have been too big of a promise. Haha.* I’ve been wanting to do a compilation of my favorite talks, speeches and interviews of all time. When I work on my projects, so many thoughts fill my head and I have to battle with each one of
Jean Kelly of Sea Mountain Co shares with us her process on how to make handmade watercolors! 🙂 For a couple of months now, she’s been helping me out with some of my work and she would share with me how she enjoy the process of transforming pigments into useable watercolor half pans! 🙂 Aside
I promised to stop myself from opening my blog posts with a comment about how time just flies! 😀 It’s been a couple of weeks since the Summer Art Buffet, one of the events I was just really grateful to have been invited to teach. Yep, that’s how it looked like after the class with
I was supposed to start working already today then I realized, “Wait! I must blog about this!” I’m still on a high from yesterday’s Art in the Park event. I’ve been waiting for the day that I could create a vlog about it, but yesterday afternoon, my lizard brain as Seth Godin would call it wanted
One of my first few jobs after graduating was in Sales, Marketing and Trade Marketing. As much as it probably means supermarket or mall hopping on the outside or driving all day, it also meant doing things such as: 1. visiting supermarkets via the back door entrance along with boxes and boxes of goods 2.
The date was January 31 in 2012 & I wrote this online shop an e-mail that said: Hello! 🙂 I really love your tapes. I’m just wondering though if you still have blue diagonal lines (instead of horizontal lines) as a tape and if the white polka dots against blue are still available (as a
You know how they say that life will keep on giving the same lessons until you finally learn them? That’s how pretty much my pregnancy has taught me. Here goes a second dose of lessons and I’m writing them here so that in case I forget, I can look back at this post someday. Take
Hello Guys! I’m excited that we will be having our first Digitizing Workshop in over a year this Sunday. This time, we’re adding handouts so you can continue practicing at home. 🙂 We’ve been receiving requests as to where one can access the details about the workshop so here it is. I’ve also included samples
Hello Guys! 🙂 OMG. The second month of 2017 is about to end :O It seems like the year has just started! We’re grateful for all the encouragement and support you’ve extended throughout our art & parenting journey 😀 We’re really happy to co-host another blog giveaway that includes our favorite watercolor & writing tools!
Back in late 2015 before I gave birth, I tried to do a bunch of last minute features of art spaces just because I thought I would never be able to do them again: Dan Matutina Studio Wildwood Store Abbey Sy’s Attic So, I’m just really happy that I got to drop by the Art
Hello Guys! 😀 How’s your week so far? I’ve been wanting to post this but I just made sure that I’m done with my deliverables so I ended up writing down notes on my sketch book one night just right after finishing a few pages. The notes here are dated January 3, 2017 but it’s
Hello Guys! 🙂 It’s been a whiiiiiiiiiiile. OMG. I’ve been wanting to blog for so long. I would end up writing my thoughts in the middle of the night on my sketch book…as in in the middle of all my sketches just for me to save my thoughts for later. But, we have good
If there’s a single topic that I haven’t really been touching as frequently as I should in the past 7+ years of blogging, that’s my love for movement. I was thinking about this as I was working out this evening. Well, to boot, it’s not normal for me to workout and still have time to
Hello Guys! I’ve been working on this project a couple of months back and I was so happy but overwhelmed at the same time! :O I kept asking “Really?” until I realized I should stop questioning & start working on it. Haha. Above: One of the early design submissions for the Ayala Malls paper bags.
Can’t believe it’s been 2 weeks after the workshops in Singapore! :O So many months of anticipating & preparing for this & it just flew by so fast. I still miss my trips to the Hawker Center with Abbey. Haha. I’m also still grateful for all the opportunities that came this year! Finally, still LOLing
I can’t believe a few days have passed since the Brush Lettering Workshop with Globe held at Costa Coffee for 50 participants and it all feels like a dream and now I’m back on my desk, typing in the dark as usual blogging guilt-free while the baby is asleep. 😀 During the workshop, I actually
Holiday is already in full swing with Christmas lights in malls, Christmas trees in different houses & I’m pretty sure that just like me, you’re already wondering what you should give your friends this Christmas! Hmmm…Hmmm….Hmm….*Insert thinking emoji.* The season is all about red & green but I tried to classify my finds into
I can’t believe we just finished painting the heart mural in Serendra. I’m grateful & honored to have been asked to redo our heart. In case you missed it, you may read about the first abstract heart we painted last February here. I wish I took more photos but the most I could do was
