I wanted to try digipainting but I never knew how to. It was when I saw a Baby TV segment that incorporated drawing shapes and stuff that I took note of. Mostly blurring and shading. I’m trying to get the hang of it tho. I hope it looks nice. I think it’s good for a first timer? I hope so. :)

Follow my blog with Bloglovin!

I now have a Bloglovin account. I wondered if I had any followers that didn’t use Tumblr and I thought that it must be SUCH a hassle if they had to check my blog every now and then. Good thing there’s Bloglovin’ for that!

Yesterday, I went to Colon, the oldest street in Cebu, to thrift shop with my mom and Pam. While looking at a thrift store, I saw this run-down and messy looking top with the prettiest collar ever. 

When I showed it to my mom she said she wouldn’t get it for me, so I went up to the cashier, asked for a pair of scissors and cut the collar.

My mom told me to pay for it because she didn’t like it. Good thing I had the money.

So now I have my very own detachable collar! ♥

My first post for 2012. Wow. 

Anyway, my New Year’s celebration was boring and I kept on dreaming about this tearjerker in my head that’s too embarrassing to even tell Pamelle. ;o;

And I even cried on my pillow. The actual.

#i also jumped a lot #doodles #digital

Original peg/sketch for my Christmas drawing, although the final piece doesn’t really look like the peg lol. I originally didn’t want to draw anything because it would be tiring and I didn’t feel so artsy (sometimes I think I stopped being an artist at 2011). Then Pamelle convinced me to draw, so I got kind of carried away. I actually feel better now that I actually completed a drawing with pretty backgrounds. It seems as if I have been drawing nothing but doodles and stuff.

Merry Christmas everyone, and have a prosperous 2012!

As I posted in my Twitter, my mom gave me a new pair of school shoes after my last pair broke and the rain water would get inside my socks. I wasn’t with my mom when she bought them, so my feet hurt when I use them. Must endure.

Also, a good friend of mine went to the local mall to catch up on each other’s lives today. We used all of our money to buy junk food and had a nice chat about the people we knew, the things we liked, our non-existent love lives and school.

Sometimes I think that our feet are the most underrated parts of our bodies and that they lead us to a different time, place, and you unconsciously. 

Did that just make any sense?

Today, I commuted from my island to the big, bustling city of Cebu and I met two kind strangers.

I know that most people here in Tumblr have never tried and are not willing to commute in the streets of the Philippines because it is very *dangerous* and *risky*. But honestly, it isn’t if you wear the appropriate clothing and have a good sense of street smarts. Politeness helps too.

There are a lot of nice people you can find in PUJs really. There may be creeps once in a while, but as long as you make it clear that you’re not interested in them, then that problem is solved. Like today, when I rode a tricycle to one of the stops in my place, I had to sit beside a guy who smelled like he drank too much liquor and what was worse was that he was quite tall and he had to have his elbow rested on me! I had to shield my chest area with my backpack. It got kind of creepy because I thought he knew my tactics and was trying to intimidate me, so I moved to another seat once a passenger vacated. That event gives me the shivers every time I think about it.

When I went to Ayala I accidentally lost my stop and landed in I.T. Park. I rode a habal-habal (an ordinary motorcycle that has passenjers. Kinda like a PUJ, only illegal) and since I didn’t want to pay him with a 100 Peso bill, I had the nerve to ask a random stranger for some change. I saw a random Korean walking toward my direction, so I called out,”Excuse me! Excuse me!”

Seeing me, he raised his eyebrows then gave me a smile. “Yes?”

“Do you have any change for 100 pesos?”
“Ah… how about 50?” he looked at me, genuinely worried that I wouldn’t accept two 50 peso bills.

“50 pesos is great!” I said. He fiddle with his money and then we traded bills. He gave me this really nice smile and I thanked him awkwardly with my messy hair in the way, and he continued walking psat me.

That Korean was super cute and tall, pretty muscular too. And I just asked him for some change. Wow. It’s really cool because most Koreans in my place are said to be arrogant and hot-tempered, but really, it’s best not to judge anybody because people are different. :)

When I went home, I decided to ride PUJs even though I’ve never done so alone before. I always rode V-Hires (vans that allow commuters) home because they were faster, albeit pricey. When I rode a jeep to hi-way, I missed my stop (second time of the day!) and I was almost lost! I had to walk a bit to a sidewalk to look for somebody to ask directions. There were two nice-looking ladies on the sidewalk, and when I asked for directions, they were kind enough to offer to walk me to my stop! One of the women couldn’t go though, because her boyfriend was waiting for her in that area and she couldn’t leave him, so her friend told her that she’d walk me by herself.

The walk to my stop didn’t seem too long because the lady was very nice and friendly! Her name was Joy, and she was a packager in Silver Swan. She is a single mom and has a baby boy and she told me a few life lessons and encouraged me to ‘do well in school’ and ‘don’t believe in boys- there aren’t any decent ones left on Earth!’

I on the other hand, talked to her bits about my life and some confessions I’ve never told anybody before. It’s funny to know how you can let yourself go with a complete stranger.

When I got into my ride, I continually told her thanks and watched her walk away. It was only then that I realized I should have given her a headband I bought earlier today. Tut tut.

I now see ate Joy whenever I pass Silver Swan packets and think about her baby and pray for her, and hope that she is safe. She was such a kind woman.

Also, I hope that Korean has a nice stay in Cebu. And I hope all commuters get to find kindness in other commuters.

So after almost no practice using my tablet, Pamelle managed to make me draw and I’ve just realized that it is now 1000000000000000x harder for me to make lineart.

Pam suggested I try painting, so I did. And here is the first attempt lol

The characters are from a recent book series I read, and tbh, I like the second picture more.

The first one is quite awkward looking because of the lines and everything. The second one seems more relaxed?

I think I’m slightly leaning toward illustration now, but I also think I still have anime art deep inside? IDK anymore.
