Tree a Day #10

Daaaaayum

I just realized I probably sewed over 90 stuffed creatures last year. I started taking inventory in September and I have 81 plush friends logged. WTF! How did I do all that by hand?!

New Custom Order: Beagle

Soon I will begin the process of transforming this sketch into a huggable friend... right before your very computer screen! Poooof! 

Shout out to Emily for the challenge :)

Tree a Day #8 & #9: Keepin' it fro real, yo

I missed drawing people so walla! I present you with the people who walked by the tree I sketched! Rush hour is the best time to sit in Ayala park. It's dark enough so they turn on all the twinkle lights in the trees, but light enough so I can draw. And people are EVERYWHERE... walking around, jogging, doing the strangest stretches I've ever seen (like waving their arms around frantically while walking in a small circle. I assume its for circulation?). Some like to cuddle, some like to sit & listen to music. It's just a feast for the eyes. And it's right outside where I'm living :) . God bless primo location.

Drew this one while dining in the Philippine's first pay by weight frozen yogurt place, Qoola (aka yogurtland)!! Woo! Their tag line makes me giggle:

"Keepin' it fro real, yo"

Leave it to the pinoys to come up with corny gangstah slogans. REPRESENT! I also like that when greeting a man & a woman, the host doesn't split it up. They say: "Thank you ma'amsir!" Oh, and for some reason, the elevators smell like bubble gum. It's wonderful! And the floors are slippery so when I'm alone, I slide from one end to the other. Very short distance, but exhilarating regardless. 

Yes... I am a five year old kid trapped in a 25 year old lady :]

Paper & Type for the win!!

If you hadn't noticed....

I have a new website. And it's the prettiest thing you ever did seeeee. I'm just so thrilled. It's been essentially a year in the making and there's a lot of love & care poured into it.

Shout out to Bina & the lovely Fordham mac lab, the big apple for giving me the most chilling winter so all I did was work, Malaysia for blessing me with CS4, and all my friends for their opinions & advice when it was at stage triple negative beta. Oh, and of course.... the b man himself. I got nuttin' but loooooove for you baby (whatcha got???)

Word Vomit

of the projectile persuasion. The kind that stings and doesn't come out after two runs in the wash. The kind that flies out uncontrollably and everywhere, and on you. The worst is drying heaving word vomit... when you're just shouting words for the sake of shouting to be heard. No ammunition or weight or meat (gross)... just hot, sour, putrid air.

This is the kind of vomit I try to avoid, but have found a real skill for. Where the sentiments are actually nothing to be shared, and yet I do. I need to simply digest and deal with, gather what nutrients there are and purge the useless. I need to stop subjecting myself to unhealthy words & thoughts so that I have no reason to vomit in the first place.

I know I said dry heaving is the worst, but can I change that to word vomiting on someone? Because I think that's terrible. No one should ever find themselves covered in hurtful words and negativity. I don't care who you are, but no one deserves that. So I'm sorry to every person I've ever vomited on, especially the last victim. I should know better.
