Still on Vacation!!!

My family has this tradition of going out of town before classes start.
Last year we went to Bangkok, Thailand.
And here is my favorite photo from that trip...

(Title: Lilac)

For this year, we settle for our favorite getaway... Baguio! We will be there from June8(today) to June11(mon). This is to save up some money for our big trip to Canada and the States next August because one of my closest cousins is getting married and grandparents are demanding us to visit them. Hmmm... Wonder what could be my favorite photo this year? I'm really excited!

(Although, it's also a bit sad because I invited my IMC classmates and some friends to join us in our stay but none could make it. For the past years, my theater friends from ROC and cousins were always tagging along. But this year, it's just us. Sigh.)

Reunited with my Camera

Oh my dearest boyfriend Canon S3IS, why have you abandoned me for so long? I have been taking pictures with your old friend Canon S45. Elber says, it is not the camera who takes the pictures but the person holding it. I guess, since you are but a tool, even without you I CAN take nice shots. But, it was still difficult not having you. Frustrations flooded me especially when I was itching to take indoor shots or sports photos. Or when I am already losing patience since I do not have a faster way of uploading photos from CF cards and would rather use an SD card. But, past is past! We are reunited once more, that is what's important! I promise to take care of you and no longer keep you anywhere near the reach of my 3 year old destruction team, aka my niece named Arnie.

NOTE: Wala po sanang jellyace! I am talking to my camera who, i mean which, finally after 2 months of repair has finally returned into my longing arms/humble abode.

PS: Thank you dad for the unending patience and understanding, and for all the money you spend supporting your daughter's passion. Thank you my dearest friends for all the support and patience. And for you, Mr. Other Anonymous (I know you'd be reading this at work) thank you for these delicious things called inspiration, patience, support, honesty and slow walks that you continuously serve in my life. Without all you guys, I would never even dare talk to my camera and treat it with any bit of importance. You all showed me what is delicious in life, and in return I will try to share to others what I learned from all of you through my art.

Feeble Attempt

this is my feeble attempt at watercolor pencil painting!
sorry naman, hangang diyan lang ang kaya ng imahinasyon ko eh!
parang drawing ng 5 years old eh noh! hahahaha!

but, yun! i think this is delicious enough to be posted in this blog!

took me about 3 hours to finish my first HEARTWORK...

using my newly bought set of "stress reliever"

(aka UNI fine pens, faber-castell watercolor pencils, sketchbook & brushes)

note: yung tatlong pink shades sa right ng mga ibon (yes ibon po yung nasa right ng cloud), wala lang yun, mga trial lang na pag-paint.

Now THAT's Trapo Clutter!

Wow! Now this is Advertising Clutter!!! Look at that! How would you even know who to vote with that much ads in one vacant lot?

This is the one in front of Jollibee, along Doña Soledad (Parañaque). There are actually 3 of those in that one long street. Poor vacant lots, violated from their purity. From what used to be clean and neatly trimmed grasses, is now inhabited by this jungle of political ads.

And if you think that's enough...
After just one turn, the next street is yet again full of these political ads. And it's even longer! Talk about a full campaign making sure everything gets covered! It's covered all right!

What I'm fighting for is my freedom for a beautiful summer sky and warm summer breeze! Ugh! I can't even enjoy summer here with all these ugliness! I wish Elections would end soon and that it would be a successful one!

PS: Hayyy... My dearest fellowmen, when will we learn? Don't you love our beautiful country? Why do you always sacrifice your principles for a couple of "Ninoy's" from these guys? And still endlessly complain about them in rallies. Act now or sacrifice another ugly summer later on. I wish there will be a limit or ban to all this political ads. Whomever has power, please make regulations soon. I wish more people can do ads like the one Nation Paint did. The one where the wall was talking to the one putting on political ads. I really love that. As for me, I am very excited to vote for the first time. I might as well practice my right after falling in line for 10 straight hours last December for Registration of Voters. And, as soon as I get a land a job in one of those agencies, I will try my best to lessen the ugliness! Promise!

A Schizophrenic Paumanhin…
