  • Art Ganaps

    Ang daming exciting na nangyayari sa art community ngayong April. Nakakatuwa kasi nagkakaron ng konting structure yung araw ko kasi medyo nagiging busy na. Although mahina pa rin ang pumapasok na cha-ching, at least mas productive na ko ngayon. Since ang original plan naman talaga eh nasa school ako dapat ngayon, kung tumuloy ako wala…

  • Must-Watch Docu + Magic Bible + French Lessons

    Mga random ganaps: Pinanood ko yung documentary ni Billie Eilish kasi napakinggan ko sa WUWJAS podcast na super ganda raw. Eh wala akong Apple TV+ so finally in-avail ko na yung 1 year free trial kahit matagal na kong aware na merong ganun. Parang hindi kasi magaganda yung shows dun. Parang yung pinaka okay na…

  • Happy 1st Anniv As a Full-Time Artist!

    Today marks my 1st work anniversary!🥳 I thought being a full-time artist was all painting and fun and endless flow of creativity—but it’s not. Well yes, it’s sometimes that—but it’s also discipline when you’re not in the mood to create, not getting discouraged even when your relatives have no clue what you’re doing and why…

  • Di Mapakali + Takatak + Random Pics

    Hindi ako mapakali. Masyado akong overstimulated. Ang daming magagandang libro, ang daming magagandang panoorin, ang daming magagandang gawin. Hindi ko na alam kung anong uunahin. Sa mga panahong ganito, ang pinakamagandang gawin ay ito. As in itong ginagawa ko ngayon. Magsulat at magkwento. Sabi ko nga kanina, ang daming magagandang libro. Sa dami ng librong…

  • Validated Pero Magulo

    Few days ago, nag-reply sakin yung art agent for children’s book illustrators kasi nag-submit ako ng portfolio ko. Although hindi successful, sobrang natuwa ako sa feedback nya kasi sobrang detailed. Super agree ako sa sinabi nya na feeling daw nya nag-eexplore pa ko ng style ko. Na hindi pa ganun ka-cohesive yung portfolio ko. Sobrang…

  • Selfish?

    Naalala ko nung college tapos nagdi-discuss yung CI (clinical instructor) namin (si Ms. U) about procreation. Na isa daw yun sa mga purpose natin kung bakit tayo nandito sa mundo. Tumaas ako ng kamay para itanong, “What if I choose not to participate in procreation?” Ang sagot nya (with kasamang gigil), “Then you’re selfish.” Tumatak…

  • Haysss.

    Nakaka… disappoint? asar? tawa? na hanggang ngayon, lagi pa din akong tinatanong ng Mama ko at ibang kamaganak ko kung ano daw ginagawa ko. Akala daw nila nagaaral ako kahit ilang beses ko nang sinabi na HINDI NGA AKO TUMULOYYY. Nakakafrustrate na kahit nanay ko hindi alam. Tinanong daw kasi sya ng lola ko tapos…

  • Injury + Current Reads + Polar Bear and Almond

    Sira ang plano ko ngayon. Kung kelan finally nagkaron ako ng motivation na mag-film ulit ng video para sa YT channel ko—balak ko sana gumawa ng isa pang ‘Draw with Me’ video kasi nasa mood din ulit akong mag-drawing—pero sumasakit nanaman yung braso at kamay ko. Nagse-self diagnose ako pero feeling ko repetitive strain injury…

  • Internal Monologue #1 | Why?

    Q: What is my why? A: To live comfortably but simple, while having enough time and resources to travel and do my hobbies (reading, playing the piano, learning languages). Q: But this is what I’m already doing now (except for the traveling). A: So my goal is to maintain this lifestyle? Maybe I should add…
