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 […]

Instagram vs. Real Life + Preggy Diaries Continued
I missed making comics so much! It’s been a whiiiiiile! I’ve been stuck with all the back end operations doing errands here and there. Although, I must say, that part was also a refreshing break from getting stuck and finding myself zoning out while scrolling my feed on different social networking sites. 🙂 A couple […]

Colorful Days with Pens & Notebooks
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 […]

Coming Soon: A New Googly Character
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 […]

Golden Rules of Stalking + Paris Photo Diary
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, […]

On Working Out + The Workshop at Plana Forma
Yep, when I workout, a part of me dies a little each time. Days and hours before, I’m usually excited but some 15 minutes before my class, I usually end up asking myself “Why am I here? Why do I have to subject myself to pain?” But, I always end up leaving calmer, contented and […]

All About the Game: NBA All-Star Weekend 2015
Whoa! I can’t believe that it’s been almost two months since we came home from our trip to new york thanks to Globe x NBA! Well, before anything else, I’d like to describe Ponggo to you when he’s watching practically any sport on TV in the comic below. My friends have been asking, why does Ponggo […]

Blogopolis 2015: Shifting Gears
If there was ever something that I didn’t see coming when I started blogging on Tumblr in 2010, that was me & Ponggo appearing in public and talking about our blog. True to my introverted nature, I enjoyed being able to post stuff online and bask in the anonymity that goes with posting nothing but […]

How to Get Burned Out
Two of the questions I often get asked are: “How do you achieve bright colors when you paint?” and “It seems like your blog is light & happy. Do you ever get sad?” The first one amuses me but the second one disturbs me. As I would tell my friends, the colors that I use […]

5 Resolutions for 2015: Say Good Bye to These
Hello Everyone! Happy New Year! Wahh..It was an extremely busy past couple of days but I’m just grateful to have met up with family and friends again. I’m also relieved I was able to do my last exercise class, trip to the dermatologist and nail spa before the new year ended! *Whew!* I just felt […]

Finding Your Own Style
Well, all I can say is, I’m not really an expert on this topic… *Then, she proceeds to spew out thousands or words or so…Nyahahaha.* A number of events have triggered this. First, it started when I was talking to one of my crafter friends a couple of years ago. She confessed to me how […]

Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Reactions
The first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone. (But yes, I know I need to change that habit soon to meditating or practicing how to be grateful or something.) Anyway, I was scrolling my feed and stumbled upon the #VSFashionShow hashtag thanks to the fact that I’m stalking a couple […]

Chocolate Cake Recipe & Co Op Manila
I was recalling how I stopped eating chocolate cake for a week after visiting the cake studio where my wedding cake was being made. Ponggo’s aunt asked me to sit down & wait as she mixed her ingredients. Then, she opened a box from the freezer & took out a cube of butter. By cube, […]

Facts About Me
For a while there, I was already contemplating on living solely on Instagram. Then I realized I can’t! My work involves having to be silent for hours & clicking the day away watching design elements or numbers move, so I totally need a venue for some brain fart. Sometimes, I feel like “Oh, the people […]

Happy 5th Birthday Googly Gooeys!
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 […]

The Long Weekend is Over
This Holy Week, I was initially thinking of giving up chocolates. Then, it just dawned on me, I can’t do that! You can let me exercise but please, don’t take away the goodness of bittersweet dark chocolate! So I had to think of something else that I was always attached to. Then it came to […]

April Fool’s Roundup
I actually enjoy practical jokes. One of my favorites is photocopying yearbook pages from our college archives. Once I did it to my corporate bosses & officemates (I don’t know why I did that & didn’t even think about it affecting my yearly evaluation) and then at another time, we did it for the magazine […]

Post-Workout Resolutions
My friend once called me & asked why do I keep posting things & making it look like I’m the happiest person on the internet? I told him, “You don’t understand. Can’t you see the issues beneath the colorfulness?” I didn’t have a better answer then but now I do. You see, I just really […]

Things To Do in Baguio
If you’ve been here before, I’m pretty sure you already have a list of things to do in Baguio. You’ve explored the usual tourist spots like Mines View, Camp John Hay, Burnham Park and The Mansion. You probably had your photo taken by the huge lion’s head along Kennon road & brought home strawberries & […]

Help Me
I’ve been trying to curtail my consumption of chocolates for days now. It wasn’t that easy. I would find myself still desperately searching for chocolates. I just realized how much my body depended on it for an energy boost & umm…happiness! 🙂 Trying to be healthier (and I don’t know how long this will last), […]
