i ♥ My Early Christmas Presents

photo-281429 i ♥ My Early Christmas Presents
When I was a kid, I would borrow (read: steal) my Lolo David’s fountain pens because I thought they were just so fancy. Calligraphy was part of my art curriculum when I was 6 years old (I had the coolest art teacher!), and I remember using my lolo’s fountain pens to practice instead of my cheapo plastic ones. But, thanks to Em, I now have my own ‘beginner’ fountain pen! This one is from Muji.

She also got me a thrifted Emily The Strange shirt, because she says I look like Emily. Hmm.. I think I will take this as a sign to chop off my bangs again. Hehe.

Last night, my buddy Marky surprised me (and PJ) with the only Holiday CD that trumps my Mixtape: She & Him!!! Complete with a holiday card from Matt & Zoey (and Mark) plus P50 ampao. How shweet.

They're here!!! Finally got a hold of my 2023 Planners! What a magical feeling to have the printed output in my hands. Love how these planners are ring bound and lay flat for monthly & weekly spreads, which are printed on smooth planner paper. As you turn the pages, you'll find little surprises inside, like journal prompts, recipes, affirmations, and sticker sheets!😄

There are different covers to choose from, all printed & wrapped using premium textured book paper. Take your pick: Blue Tea, Hibiscus, or Guava?😄 Link in bio to shop!

We all have different timelines.

Spending time in our garden has taught me that growth takes time, and it cannot be rushed. There's planting season, and there's harvest season. Trees bear fruit or flowers only on certain months of the year. Sometimes, they yield a bountiful harvest, other times, very little. We can't expect the same results every time. Over-productivity is not sustainable. 

"At Your Own Pace" is my 2023 calendar collection with @ifexph. I painted 12 flowers & leaves that are traditionally used as tea in the Philippines. It's a reminder for us to slow down and find calm. Because if we want to continue growing, bearing flowers & fruits, then we have to be gentle--with nature, and with ourselves. 🤍

Excited to show you the whole paper collection!🌿🌺

P.S. I took a risk, and decided to cut out all my watercolor illustrations to frame them together as a single piece!😁

Unplugged in Guimaras for a few days. We stayed at @natureseyebeach resort, where you have the ocean for your open bathroom view; where all their furniture was built by hand; where there are only 5 cottages; and where  there are lots of steps to get from one side of the resort to the other. Was lucky to be there as they launched their new plant-based menu!😁💚 Snuck in a few minutes of painting, but really just stared at the views most of the time 😆 #LAB_breaktime #guimaras #philippines

Hung out with creatives of Bacolod last weekend for the Pricing Your Worth workshop at @thenegrosmuseum. Each participant received a little goodie bag + pricing worksheet from the Creative Path pad. What a fun afternoon! Was just so happy to be able to do an in-person workshop again. And in such a beautiful & inspiring space! 😍
