The Googly Gooeys is a little over ten years now. It started as a webcomic about a girlfriend and boyfriend with their silliest real-life nicknames: Tispy & Ponggo. Those were the days when the hubby was the muse of the humor blog. ? His toothy grin IRL was the inspo for the character’s smile. Back then he […]
We got to hold a crafting workshop with Music, Arts and Physical Education teachers all over the Philippines with Canon, Pandayan Bookshop and the Department of Education. We were required to come up with a presentation and setup using crafts and downloadable templates from the Canon Creative Park archives that showcases Asia’s various landmarks and
While workshops may seem part of our job description, it’s something that we likewise consider a treat. We love witnessing how participants get to enjoy, play with and nourish their creativity and imagination. Even more so when it’s something they could share with their loved ones like mom. It’s quite the treat! Such was the
The concept of Wonderland has fascinated us for a while now. We remember scanning tha pages of Vogue some years back, admiring the Alice in Wonderland-inspired editiorial they did with Annie Leibovitz and Natalia Vodianova. So when Cath Kidston asked us to conduct an arts and crafts workshop in celebration of the launch of their
I can’t believe I tried putting off this blog post out of guilt for so long! I just felt like straight off from vacation, I can’t just sit down & relish my vacation. I need to get back to work. However, these thoughts still linger in my mind. I mean, 4 months later, I am

As I grew up, these turned into card-hunting and I would spend all night thinking about what to write. Years passed
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

I feel like I’ve said this a thousand times but we just never had this much options when it comes to paper, pen and art supplies back in the day. Sometimes, we’d even have to
We had quite the sweet and egg-citing Easter weekend filled with all things candy and color at S Maison Conrad Manila as we held an Easter crafts and treats workshop earlier this month! I’ve always wanted to explore colors with food to the point that I even bought chocolates of different hues this year and
We’re grateful for the opportunity to spread our love for colors as we painted our third heart and this time for Ayala Malls Cloverleaf! I can clearly remember our first heart in Serendra. (Read about it here.) It was just seven weeks after I gave birth to Riley! I was cleared by the doctor and
When I was 8, I would always wish it would rain chocolates. I didn’t realize it would (sort of) come true now that I’m an adult and let me tell you, I think I’m even more excited about it now than I was then! One day, we received a “pink ticket” in our mail. (Yes
I recently had the chance to revisit my childhood: all those years spent tinkering with paper during siesta time, playing teacher and volunteering for bulletin boards all rolled into one as we got to create a backdrop and conduct a watercolor and crafts workshop for the launch of H&M’s newest line for kids! The elements
It’s 11:33pm and I’m actually supposed to begin working on a new project due next week but I just can’t seem to bring myself to do so until I’ve written all everything down about the past week. I’m currently sitting down on our couch with thoughts brimming in my head and wondering if last week
I’ve been debating with myself whether I should blog or not. After all, I’ve pretty much documented on video a good chunk of our roadtrip to La Union. 🙂 Then again, I realized, I have so many thoughts as usual that I can’t express through moving pictures. 😀 I’m really grateful for a bunch of
Last Saturday, we left Pampanga with so much words of wisdom and encouragement from Erwin Dayrit. Probably just the message I needed. Erwin or ‘Weng’ to this family is a 37-year old ballpen artist. I met him at the SM Stationery Art Fest while he was doing a demo with Dong-A Philippines. I was stunned
We’re very grateful to have held Letters & Colors in Iloilo together with Abbey Sy organized by the Advertising students of Central Philippine University! 🙂 We had a blast last weekend and we really enjoyed meeting new faces and lots of good coffee and food. First of, this is something that we didn’t expect to
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
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 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
Last Valentine’s Day, we were tasked to paint a huge heart in the middle of Serendra. Halfway through, here’s one of the sides with a bit of splatter. It reminded me of the chocolate drizzle I would see on desserts. To me, it looks like one giant candy heart. 🙂 You know what’s so awesome about
