My journey as an artist chronicled in life events, thoughts, and musings.
I'll always remember the latter part of 2014 (yup, a couple years ago) as a busy and exciting time for me. It was then that I first ventured into producing a small line of paper goods. Not only were they received so well by the general public, but I got the chance to open up to the bigger local art scene, and I met so many incredibly kind, talented, likeminded people in the process.
Read MoreThree days ago, I turned another year older (time just fliiies!), and I'd like to celebrate by giving away a very special package of art+paper goodies! Yay! There will be TWO winners of this package, which includes: two floral notecard sets; five assorted art prints; a Sunday Paper kraft notebook; and a calligraphy print by Lorra Elena Angbue-Te! I'm running this giveaway on Instagram, so if you have an IG account, you're absolutely welcome to join!
Read MoreJanuary moved along at a snail's pace. Things were happy and pleasant for the most part, then—just as soon as people were getting back to their workdesks—we had another long vacation, thanks to Pope Francis' Philippine visit, which also came right before a scheduled family trip. Not complaining there, but it definitely slowed things down. I had some time to evaluate myself, and I struggled, coming from a period of very little work activity from December all the way to the end of January.
Read MoreHappy New Year, everybody!!! I've not had the chance to return to this space, and write decent blog entries in a very long time, and I apologize for the lack of commitment. That said, I'm quite refreshed, motivated, and inspired to start anew! 2014 was an especially busy year for me, and in a very good way. Everything had its own challenges and I believe I was able to take these on with hard work, an open mind, and an open heart.
Read MoreTo this day, Heima occupies a warm, fuzzy, happy spot in my heart. I still clearly remember four years ago, when Heima introduced an incredibly new yet beautiful concept right in the heart of Cubao X. I was lucky to witness them grow from a small shop into a full lifestyle concept. Soon after leaving the corporate world, Heima became one of my go-to places for pretty things, feel-good inspiration, and cool people to hang out (and even collaborate) with.
Read MoreHello! I'm part of Paper Stories: A Paper Club Bazaar, happening today at Heima Brixton! Lots of paper goodness (and more) for everyone! I'll be joining Tit for tat, Lunchbreak Project, Sunday Paper Co., Craft Carrot, Monsterella, and The Bekiry!
