Father’s Day at Savoy Hotel Manila

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 […]

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

At the Heart of Ayala Cloverleaf

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

The Dessert Museum

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

Watercolor and Art Workshop with H&M Kids

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!

At The Heart of Serendra (Part 2)

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

At the Heart of Serendra

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

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.
