Ballpen Art and Words of Encouragement from Erwin Dayrit
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. Â I met him at the SM Stationery Art Fest while he was doing a demo with Dong-A Philippines. I was stunned
Coloring Book Hits Bookstores This Week
Somewhere between waiting to give birth and just having finished a project, I’m actually laughing about the title I just made.  It’s as if I’m doing a feature of a product in the third person. Well, Around the World with the Googly Gooeys will be available in National Bookstore branches this week! 🙂 At first,
Happy 4th Wedding Anniversary!
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
Of Emojis & a La Union Workshop
Hello from Singapore! 🙂 I don’t usually have time to blog while I’m on a trip but today, I just had to spend time to recover from our early morning flight–hence, lack of sleep.  I’ve been kinder to my body ever since I got pregnant.  I’m also resting & gathering some energy for a couple
Googly Travels: La Union & Malaysia
Recently, people have been asking, “Do you guys travel a lot?” I usually reply with “No, not really.” I think we just got lucky with the Big Blog X and the Globe x NBA Trip to New York. Then, I just realized the week before Holy Week, we had to tour some relatives in Baguio
Stuff That Money Can’t Buy + Our Flotsam and Jetsam Weekend
This is what has been going through my mind over the weekend: There are certain things that money can’t really buy: sanity, inner peace, inspiration, hope and LOTS OF SLEEP! Hehehe. Â Well, what about happiness? Â I don’t know. Â I didn’t want to include happiness yet because I still tend to associate it with that fleeting
Ilocos Weekend with the Chevrolet Spark
Ever felt like you had a slump at work & that you needed to seek inspiration elsewhere? Well, that’s how Ponggo & I felt a couple of weeks back so we packed our bags & went on a weekend trip with our friend Clara. Â At first, we didn’t know where to go but we felt
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. Â You’ve explored the usual tourist spots like Mines View, Camp John Hay, Burnham Park and The Mansion. Â You probably had your photo taken by the huge lion’s head along Kennon road & brought home strawberries &
Social Networking Detox & Our Weekend at Mt. Pulag
Hello! We’re back from a weekend we spent otudoors!  It was a long 5-hour drive, 5-hour commute plus a 5-hour trek to our camping site but it was all worth it! 🙂  We rarely had a phone signal during the weekend and we didn’t have a decent internet connection either (Gahh..talk about priorities).  I actually
Perfect Reasons to Get Out of the City (Tagaytay, here we come!)
Perfect Reasons to Get Out of the City I just really think that it’s apt that as we’re writing this post, we’re actually out of the city! Ponggo & I love going on road trips and travelling in general. If we have one go-to destination, that would be Tagaytay. We love the city so much
