Silly Moments Of The First Months Of 2024 With A Tadtaran (cutting Board) Series I Call "bloop Bloop".

This cutie just arrived earlier this afternoon 😍💖 Can’t wait to wear you for upcoming events! ✨

(got this cutie at @dollymoon.ph on instagram✨)

Hello old friend, I sent you out there years ago and you went and spread a lot of good karma, I just need your favour again, help me find some work 🧡

School started earlier this week but

Hello Internet.

I feel really bad for not storytelling my summer since it’s a ritual thing here. It’s when I am most vacant. I felt like it missed the heat haze rants like before. Summer this year wasn’t really that hot compared to last year. I mean there were times where it was 35 degrees but the wind was sailing and lots of clouds shaded from time to time. The grass wasn’t dying and the avocados were at the right time. I came across flaming fire trees, bougainvillaes, those white tropical flowers (dunno what they’re called but) and yellow weeping flowers on trees (dunno what they were called but they were sooo pretty esp being near the shores of beaches). Flowers were blooming EVERYWHERE and I loved it. This was for the month of May though. April was kind of the shattered-hopes-but-trying-to hold-on-what’s-still-there feeling. I enrolled afternoon art sessions near my house to cope and make myself busy with one of the things I love, and that’s painting. 

I’ve been also jogging almost every after dusk to feel less crappy and take care of myself. I also took care of my built-up acne prone skin from school stress and student research. But that all has now passed and I took the greatest relief EVER. And right now, I think that the universe just wants me to accept my fate for the time being and just go where the wind takes me. As long as I keep my doors and windows open with new ideas & chances and stand on my roots, maybe I’ll fly myself to where I’ve been wanting to go and be. ☺

Hopes & dreams,

Looking forward to Shinkai’s newest film!!

Last week’s weekend escape to Pamilacan Island! It was so nice and peaceful huhu my best afternoon naps were here  (~￣▽￣)~

There was no “water” so we just washed our hair with salt water haha

Getting offline-life together for the first quarter of the year hoping *really crossing my fingers* to have more than two months of cleaning my current messy state all-wise, really. Hello again, it has been a while my smol cave 🏠

(But I had the slightest time to pull off this little painting of a cactus from the porch while waiting at the laundry shop ☕)

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). 💕

After all the harsh lighting (esp. at night), here’s my own attempt in this year’s Inktober!!! :DD

and horribly scored with 11 over 31 ink attempts  D:

Here Comes More Weird

Here’s to the weird and wonderful :)

Here comes more weeiiirrrd. (and the wonderful :)) )

I am proud to introduce these books of magic written by great senpais whom I really look up to. These books are the fruit of senpais’ sipag, tiyaga, dugo’t pawis and all other words that can say through their pusong mamon na pagsisikap. (lol im talking tagalog here im not even good with this) It’s nice to see that more passionate people near me have also the same love for this kind of art, and kawaii ;_; So note to self Justinne Hannah, you are not alone.

The Kawaii PH book was launched last June 17, 2015 and Abbey Sy’s book was launched last June 20, 2015 (my birthday huhu ;_;). Too bad I reaaallly couldn’t come to both events (why is this country an archipelago anyway). If were to come I’d definitely be in full support with you guys ;_;

“The Kawaii PH Book was created by the members and friends of the Kawaii Philippines team by compiling and sharing their stories, experiences, inspirations, blogs, and actions in order to help spread the meaning of kawaii and what makes every individual unique. The aim of the book is to enlighten people and educate the curious on what kawaii actually is, and what Kawaii PH does. “      - Kawaii PH

Proceeds of the book will go to www.kawaiifund.org

The Kawaii Fund is a fundraising campaign by Kawaii Philippines. One of Kawaii PH’s ways of making this happen is the book. They are also selling shirts and holding kawaii workshops like the upcoming dance workshop with cover group Seishun Kakumei. All of these will someday result to a kawaii dream for the community, Kawaii in Manila 3 / Kawaii in Asia. <3

So gambatte!! <3

THE ABCs OF HAND LETTERING by ABBEY SY

I was sooo happy they launched the book at the same time as my birthday (fangirling haha * *)

I just got this last week and after three months of searching and searching, it was finally available in my nearest NBS branch huhu. Turns out the book got sold out and I got the second printing (to be available in an isolated NBS branch) but still yaaay I got it the day before I proposed my thesis title (reality check lol)

Proposed my title and I can take a little relaxation and draw & paint again huhu it’s been a while ;_; More ahrt for meeee

Oh and also looking forward to to Reese’s first album soooon! MUST get a copy of her music * *

That’s probably it for now, ‘til next time!
