The Googly studio/house has started to look like a pre-school recently with Riley homeschooling but then again, it’s somewhat always looked like a happy (adult version) nursery! Aside from bright colors, we have a collection of illustrated children’s books (that Riley can borrow *laughs*). Kidding aside, we’ve made quite a number of homeschooling resources and […]
We’ve been wanting to play around with more downloadables at the Googly HQ but our projects snowballed during the last quarter of 2018 so this project got parked for a while. But that’s done and we’re finally releasing the first batch of our Instagram Story Templates! (Can we get a *woop woop*?) So what are
Here at the Googly Gooeys HQ, we love a great excuse to craft and experiment with materials. This time, we’ve been eyeing pompoms and tassels so we decided to make them from scratch using these colorful Art Attack yarns! If you’re curious as to how we made them, you can watch this step by step
If there’s one thing that Riley has been fascinated about since he was a baby, it’s food. At just a few months old, he’d wake up to the smell of sautéed garlic in the kitchen. He loves to watch people cooking, be it his dad at home, the chefs stretching noodles in restaurants or the
It’s no secret that we love color and food so it’s been a long dream of ours to put the two together. We didn’t realize that our little wish would come true soon when we met Elle Jay Orbase (aka Pancake Warrior on Youtube) and the Maya Hotcake Team! They shared with us a few
Ahhhhhhh! I’ve tried parking this blog post for the longest time even if I had a lot of thoughts and reflections while I was in Japan. Before giving birth, I’d honestly thought I’d never be able to bring Riley anywhere until he’s a certain age. Also, in this trip, I wasn’t really expecting to visit
Our house is mostly filled with arts and crafts supplies, paper of various kinds, books, food (chocolates!) and Riley’s toys. As much as these are all fun and tasty, it can be a bit overwhelming at times. I also happen to have moments where my OC-ness kicks in and I cannot stop myself from cleaning
How can you check if you are watching Glee too much? Here is one of the signs that you are a truly certified Gleek 🙂 You just know you’ve had too much Glee if you’re now a slushie-phobe 🙂
I recently went on a trip to fix some things. I told Ponggo I won’t be buying anything and that I won’t be consuming my budget. After three days, tadaahhh…I finished 4/5t of my budget and I consumed 19.9 out of the 20kgs baggage allowance! Woops! It’s amazing though that while everyone usually brings home
I’ve never been so excited to upload a blog post!! 😀 Here’s the Googly Gooey adventure in Boracay part 2. Since it’s summer we thought of coming up with some sunshiny upbeat post! 😀 Ahh…I feel that if I proceed, I’ll be pre-empting some parts of the video so press play & let’s just talk
Hello There! Tipsy here. I’m the morning person between the two of us. Ponggo’s such a night owl we actually joke to our friends that we only get to talk to each other somewhere between lunch time and early evening. He always sleeps at past midnight. He loves working at night because for him, it’s
Hellooooo! Good morning! As I’m writing this blog post, half of the city is still asleep and getting their extra ZzzZz’s. Yep, I’m a morning person. On weekdays, I have to wake up at 6:30am to do some errands and drive to my work. My day always starts early to the point that
First of all, I’d like to thank my friend Joyce for posting a photo of her paper cubes on Instagram and infecting me with the origami virus and generously teaching me how to do this. To whomever originally invented these paper cubes in Japan, thank you! 🙂 For some of you who are already following us on
Replying to e-mails is probably already a part of our system everyday. Sure, we answer social networking comments, tweets, text messages almost immediately (although this is still debatable) but why do some people (including myself) seem to take forever when replying to e-mails? I use my inbox as my to-do list. I read somewhere that
“50 Shades of Grey? What is the fuss all about?”, says Ponggo. I don’t know how many times 50 Shades of Grey has been recommended to me. I would hear the DJ talk about it on my favorite morning show and people would Tweet me about it. My cousin would send me a DM over Twitter asking
Commercial Jingles! Ahhhh!? Last night (well, midnight actually), a commercial jingle kept playing inside my head while I was trying to finish something. It’s not just your ordinary jingle, it’s a rap from a mobile company who has loads of money to buy all the spots on TV, radio and wherever else! Well, it’s one
Social Networking: The Life (and Death) of a Social Networking Site Social networking is probably one of the most overused terms these days. I’m still counting how many social networking accounts I’ve already signed up for. Sometimes, people would ask us when I started posting Googly Gooey cartoons and I remember that even before we
What did I write? Oh no! What did I write? I always get overwhelmed with the many tasks I have on my to-do list. To solve that: I tried to come up with a priority list. That way, I know my non-negotiables for the day. Well, last week. I didn’t want to forget a task
Get organized! Well, the first step in organizing your life is organizing your stuff. Hehe. Just imagine the amount of time you’ll save not having to look for things when you need them the most! The new school year is just around the corner (at least in this side of the world) and aside from
