The Best of 2015

They always say, “Count your blessings.”

So here are the 15 things I’m grateful for in 2015!:)

JT Concert! #1 talaga?! Haha! It happened on New Year’s Day in Vegas. This wasn’t the first time I saw him perform live, but it was my first full JT concert (after many years of being a fan, and after sitting beside him in the hotel lounge for hours, per bawal magpa picture huhu)

The 5th Craft Soirée was a Stamp Swap,

which was held during the Katipunan Art Festival.

I made some wreath stamps and monograms for the art exchange!

It was held at Ninyo Fusion Cuisine

Thanks to Medium.ph and CraftCarrot.com for giving out carving blocks for all the participants!

In 2015, I taught a total of 80 workshops!!

I always try to improve the workshop kits. This year, I added better workshop zines for all the classes.

Of the 80 workshops, I taught 3 in the US. This one was for Nomad Hotel and Eleven Madison Park. I also taught another round of classes at Makeshift Society SF and Brooklyn.

New food and interiors at PIPINO! This is my new fave combo: Tortang Talong (we used chickpeas instead of eggs) with Cauli-Rice, and Vegan Sinigang from scratch!

We added couches and plants

And I utilized the wall for my craft experiments and artworks 😛 One of my macramé pieces found its home here!

My newest workshop in 2015 was the White & Gold Calligraphy class!

I really enjoy sharing my love for writing with white ink 😛

When I find a beach as rocky as this, instead of feeling bummer out, I get super excited. Because it’s an opportunity for coral hunting! I found 3 coral alphabets this year!

Bicol

Bohol

Romblon

Travels to Bohol, Baler, Hong Kong, US, Bangkok, and Bicol.

Went to Disneyland twice this year (Anaheim & HK). I also loved visiting the Flower Market in Hong Kong!

Awesome new food at Hillside Cafe! We partnered with Chef Nino Laus, and he created new dishes for the resto 🙂 Whenever PJ asks me where I want to eat, biases aside, I always seem to crave for Hillside food!:P
