To my “followers” (if I actually do have one. You know, the kind of people who really do wait for your next post) I’m so sorry for not posting an actual blog lately. Because the past 7 months of my life has been quite a roller coaster filled with different kinds of events, to say the least. But oddly enough, I didn’t feel any, not even a tiny bit of urge to blog about it. I may have lost my appetite for blogging, I don’t know.
So for my friends, those distant and far away friends, even the virtual ones I met online who follow my blog, here’s a little update on how things have been going for me and my life in general:
- I’m still unemployed, though I’ve been pretty much occupied by a lot of stuff. (i.e. freelancing, commissions, household commitments, pending artworks from last year, additional paintings and artworks, portfolio building, learning new programs, and other personal matters I have to deal with, etc.)

This will probably be the last Friday I am going to see the whole block in our uniforms. We are graduating in a week. I can’t believe we’re almost there. And in a few days we will go on separate ways and work for different companies. and I’m afraid I am not ready yet.
I’m going to miss my block mates, ‘cause they are my friends too.
So…anyway, here’s how the day went for me and my friends- all summed up in photos:

After the class meeting: block mates Lalaine and Pia playing with Cristina’s iPad

This is Dana -channeling her inner Sadako. but not really. This is just a failed attempt in producing a *creative* shot.
and Angel, our bonggang-bonggang class president.

me. (the fugly-dry-feet edition)

This is Pachee. pairing her black Chucks with the uniform (pa-rebel effect) just like what most of the CFAD students do back in 2007.

Ara, the ultimate bully-magnet. lol

Gab, one of my most favorite comic illustrators in class. check out his site!

Later that night after hearing the news about the tsunami potentially hitting the Philippines, we decided to party-like-it’s-the-end-of-the-world.(lol inside joke here) So, rather than staying indoors and watch the news, we chose to go out and celebrate so we can die happy together. too selfish, right? loljk, it was planned days ago before the tsunami happened.





gpoy. please ignore my double-chin.
I’ve set up a small working area in my room strictly for thesis/internet browsing purposes. I used to work on a desk beside our living room desktop PC where I use my laptop and do my hand-rendered school plates at the same time. I decided to move my working table upstairs to open up the room more. Plus, I can’t function well whenever we have visitors inside. It has been like that for over three years of my college life and now that i’m graduating, it seemed like a good time to change things.
I’ve been doing all my thesis business here for almost 3 months now, and I must say, putting up a calendar planner in your work area and a bunch of inspirational photos really does work.
and btw, that’s my vision board right there.
and yes, that is the self-portrait I made a year ago.
I just love my friends. this is my thesis-mate and friend Niguel. he has been very helpful with my thesis study since day one. look at this photo, he even posed with an imaginary rubix cube bigature in a mall atrium full of people. he’s willing to help me with all my tasks no matter how bizarre and stupid it is. i’m so glad to have friends like him. may all the mighty powers in the universe bless his soul.
Dear God,
i bet it is hard for you to love all of everybody in the whole world.
there is only 6 in the family and i can never do it.
cos i hate my f’cking father. he’s a piece of shit i want him to fucking burn in hell that damn bastard.
why do i keep forgetting the fact that ignoring your problems won’t make it go away.
i always try to escape and run away from my issues in life. i guess was brought up that way. i remember when i was a kid, my father would buy me lollipops whenever mom beats me for misbehaving. he was the one who taught me how to avoid solving my problems. he was never a good example for us. and now i am blaming him for my immaturity and irresponsibility. but the reason why i am so afraid of commitments is beyond my knowledge and understanding anymore. when will i ever grow up.
GPOY Saturday: i guess it’s about time i let you see what i really look like irl. i don’t usually post photos of me cause i hate taking pictures of myself. so yeah, i look like a giant sleepy stay-at-home dork, and my hair is always a mess i never brush it when i’m at home.
A Beautiful Day
- India Arie
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is now
Wake up in the morning
And get out of bed
Start making a mental list in my head
Of all of the things that I am grateful for
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes new dreams new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la
It’s a Beautiful Day
Life is a challenge not a competition
You can still smell the roses and be on a mission
Just take a moment to get in touch with your heart
Sometimes you feel like you’ve got something to prove
Remind yourself that there’s only one you
Just take a moment to give thanks of who you are
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my eyes and
I open up my mind and
I wonder how life will surprise me today
Early in the morning
It’s the dawn of a new day
New hopes, new dreams, new ways
I open up my heart and
I’m gon’ do my part and
Make this a positively beautiful day
La la la la la la la la la
It’s a Beautiful Day
Let’s make this a wonderful
Let’s make this a powerful
Let’s make this a Beautiful Day
It’s a Beautiful Day
Life is a journey,
Not a destination,
There are no mistakes,
Just chances we’ve taken
Lay down your regrets cause all we have is nowSuper inspiring sonnnngggg!
i know, i am reblogging my own post. idc, coz i love this song. i always remember my bestfriend vanessa (@perkyness) whenever i hear this, she always inspires me to enjoy life. i miss her already, i hope she’s doing well in her last sessions of chemo.
ohai. this drawing pad is one of the presents i got from Dana de Leon, i was her “monita” and she’s my Kris Kringle mommy this year. it’s soo cute and tiny, i can bring it everywhere and anywhere i want to. its paper also has the same texture just like what the real moleskine has, i’m so in love with it. and so far, this is probably the best Christmas present i got for this season. my lappy order status is still in pending even after completing the payment. i doubt if i can still have it on the day of christmas.
