Highlights Of My✒#INKTOBER 2018✒

Been listening to Reese since I got the CD and had to immediately rip out everything mwahaha. I also performed A Song About Space for a project hehe *space shuttles*

Summer Fiesta in the City & the Miscellaneous

Things of the week in photos 📷

The city had a special nightly tabo (market/open house) for a week where resorts, restaurants and cafes in/near the city got together and placed booths at the city hall grounds. The event was also incorporated with live music (someone played Mundo at the last day huhu) 💕

Me and my friends went out and watched Infinity War 😥

Watercolor on school notes should be a series hmm

My last bag of green tea that my aunt brought back from Japan, so far this was the best green tea I’ve ever tried huhu I turned it after into a facial scrub to commemorate its existence.

Hope your having a good week too! 🙆🌸

I now have my hands on Abbey Sy’s book about Journaling! ❤ I’ve been in love with notebooks for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen a book about whole heartedly jotting your thoughts, dreams and never-ending adventures in life. ✨

For now, I have these three to accompany me for the upcoming months (and my guitar). 💕

Conceptualizing Ideas for HNU

It was around late of January when they said about this project and that it would be launched on their Foundation Day which was next month making it also a highlight for the founding of the university’s official basketball team.

At the same time, my grandfather/lolo passed and I had to work on the project at mama’s house. It was tough with all the people but I eventually made it possible. 

Eventually, I passed the idea with the black/ peregrine falcon to them. If you’re wondering why it’s green, they had to change the color and tweaked a little bit. Some say it looked like a parrot but haha that’s so not my fault ;) 

Too bad I couldn’t get a photo of Falco, there were too many people > <

Thank you to Holy Name University for making this happen!

Hopes & dreams,

Pianoforte

A school-based art project: Acrylic on Ceramic Plate

The best thing about this project was that the material was so easy to get. One small plate like this was around less than a dollar (25 pesos for a heavy white plate ftw) from a local general merch shop. It was more quality than I expected it to be. I also bought a plate stand for this cutie.

For now, it’s sitting at the top of the piano because yas why not. I’m thinking of making more of these since it’s a lot cheaper than canvas boards hehe. 

Even in the tiniest details could make a difference. 😌💚

things to pay attention to

the tiny specks of colour in their eyes

the bass and background sounds in a song

starlight on a cloudy night

how someone looks when they think nobody can see them

the mannerisms of a stranger

real meanings behind spoken words

subtle facial expressions which last a second

the underlying flavours in food

emotions that a friend is trying to hide

little lights in a sleeping city

flowers growing through cracks in the pavement

the mixed colour palette in a piece of art

the melody of someone’s voice

This spread I find cute is not yet done but it's made out of the things everyone gave me during my birthday 😀✨

Oslob, Cebu, And Whale Sharks ♡

Hello from PH!! I just came back from a trip that was so beautiful, I wanna do it all over again (soon, hopefully haha).

We took the road from Cebu City around six in the morning and arrived after 3 hours of road trip. One of the first things I noticed was all the bleeding fire trees while we were traveling. Since it’s summer, fire trees are currently in flowering season as if it were giving autumn vibes minus the summer heat haha.

(EDIT: I told my mother about the pretty fire trees and she said that years ago, my grandfather and his workmates were the ones who were planting these trees all over Santander and Oslob and now they are all grown so big and tall and created happiness huhu lolo ;_;)

Imagine them red flaming trees with the blues of the sea and the crisp cloudless sky. (because i wasn’t able to take a photo of them huhu)

It was my first time in Oslob. The sea was so nice and blue. <3

We stayed in a cozy resort and the people around here were so friendly.

I had to quickly buy a new pair of slippers because they were torn apart along the way. I must say that these classic Spartans are much more trusted than my previous Bench flip flops. Recommending Spartans slippers for any kind of adventure lololol.

Omiyageee. All eyes on the nice prints. *_*

Their souvenirs were so cute! I bought tank tops for papa and lil bro. Since it was also papa’s birthday, I had to bring back a souvenir or something haha.

Highlight: Swimmin with whale sharks!

When I was in first grade, my teacher asked for examples of fish. I answered “whale shark!”. “Whale shark? What whale shark? Just shark!”, said the teacher. I can’t believe my teacher doesn’t even know this fish. But that was years ago.

.

I’ve heard and read opinions and articles about Oslob’s whale shark interactions. Some say that it’s too crowded that the whole activity is too much for the whale sharks. It’s true that there were lots of people (I feel like I’m adding more dirt to dirt ;_;) but the staff was very friendly to the tourists.

Whale sharks can also be found in Southern Leyte, Donsol, Batangas, and even Bohol. Some say that these locations have lesser people. Since they’re migratory, whale sharks are mostly found in their path of good plankton for food.

Other than that, I tried my very best to be cautious and not be nervous at the same time. These gentle giants were so majestic and they deserve more awareness and protection. I’ve learned a lot about these creatures.

Everyone was so friendly (I keep saying this aahh), it makes your day 10x better. :)

Clear your tired eyes with salt water every now and then! (hi Reese)

Hopes and dreams,

I’m Baaack

Finally have the guts to return to this cave. A lot has happened over the past year that I didn’t even had the chance to arrange my thoughts.

One thing is I didn’t kept everything elsewhere and maybe I already made my mind explode before I even realized it so I think this is the good place to start (again). Really, it’s great to be back writing. Hello to this side of the internet, oh how I’ve missed you huhu 🌸

I HAVE A LOT TO TELL HAHA
