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
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
Whew! That was one eventful weekend! First off, we had to attend a friend’s wedding. The next day, we were at the INK Fest at Fully Booked in BGC then we headed straight to National Bookstore’s Color Pop Fest event at the MOA Atrium. This is one of the two paintings I did for the mini exhibit
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
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,
So this has been my habit since I discovered Multiply years ago. I would stay on a social networking site and search for new things that will inspire me. It usually gets to a point where I really like everything I see. Then, I get overwhelmed and confused then I start streamlining my feed. I
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.
Update as of Sept 2017: I will be giving a talk at the Katipunan Art Fest this year! 🙂 More details here. Meanwhile, here’s a peek at what happened in 2015’s KAF! I just got home from the Katipunan Art Festival but I can’t wait to post the photos on the blog already before I
Here’s more of the Flotsam & Jetsam x Vitamin Sea La Union weekend with photos taken by Abbey Sy! 🙂 If you missed the first post, click here. I was around 4 months pregnant when we were there and I just realized that 1) I can no longer bend and squat as much 2) I have limited
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
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
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
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
Lately, I’ve been working on a project that requires me to draw religiously for at least 4 hours a day. So far, I’m on track. *Whew!* It’s challenging and rewarding so far. I really really try not to fall asleep at night when I have to finish the last few corners of my illustration. Yep,

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.
