Where everything is handmade…
Everybody heard about how hard the typhoon Yolanda {Haiyan} hit Tacloban City. Upon hearing all the news and the stories of friends who were affected by it, we were really moved and extremely sadden of what happened. Then I thought of the victims, a lot of people died and lost everything they had. So, my …
Celebrated my 29th birthday last month… Normally, I’m too lazy too organize my own party plus it’s a bit expensive. However, this year I did. Few reasons came to mind that calls for a celebration. Again with the impromptu decisions, everything was just prepared few days before and the rest was DIY‘ed. For someone who makes …
Like I said from my last post, I’m a bit active with graphic design lately and not just that, I have become friends with some of the guys from the community. Now these guys are not only talented but they really have the passion for graphic design and for sustaining the local community, that’s why …
I’ve made some few logos before but I never really had a formal training about it. I had short courses about Illustrator, photoshop and even photography, but not graphic design to be exact. Gladly, Cube Pixels finally conducted a one-day workshop on how to design a logo. At first, I really had second thoughts if I should …
Hello friends… I was gone for a week or so not because I had a little vacation. But I was confined in the hospital because of dengue. Gladly… all is good now. My platelet is back to normal but I’m recovering so I’m still resting. Since it’s my first time to be admitted, I’m a …
Another time of the year where Oh Hello Friend conducted Lovely Package Exchange. I always enjoy her package exchange not only because of getting nicely wrap gifts and goodies but the swap partners are from your same country so you get to meet crafter friends in your . Like last year, my partner was Patchi and she’s …
I’ve been dreaming of getting a tattoo someday but my mom would always disagree with the idea. So in the meantime, I got myself a henna while we were in Boracay. I’m super loving it and I can’t wait to get a real one. But I’ll definitely ask for a girl tattoo artist next time, …
Hello everyone, I’m sorry for the very long pause on my blog. I had a vacation with my family in Tokyo last 2-weeks ago and when I came back last week, I’ve been caught up with deadlines. But I’m still here… eager to blog actually. I have few DIY photos but still couldn’t make the …
I mentioned last week that I was part of a Design Team of Let’s Make Greeting Cards. And so, one of the perks of being on a DT, {which I’m completely overwhelmed} is Rochelle will send out some materials for all of us to work on with. Cool huh? And these are the things I got… …
Yesterday, I was featured in our local newspaper Edge Davao {wow, seriously on a roll this week, lol}. I can’t hardly explain how happy and giggly I was when I saw my photos on a colored full-page. All thanks to Meg Sta. Ines for the beautiful write-up. You can read more of the article here. Truthfully, I’ve been dreaming …
Few weeks ago, I joined a contest for a Mother’s Day gift DIY tutorial at Handmade Gifts Made Easy. And guess what? I won 3rd prize… yey!!! Couldn’t believed it myself because I’m not lucky with contests, but I guess my luck had change now, hihi. Anyway, here’s my entry for the tutorial, a DIY snow globe. …
I’ve been holding my breath to share this with you and boy I’m so glad I can finally say it… For the first time, I am part of a design team. Yes, you heard that right and I can’t hardly imagine I made it. You see, I can say, graphic design is my strength, but …
It’s totally a Friday madness here in the studio. So many things going on, and deadlines to meet up. But my drive to work is quite back so I’m totally having fun. Sharing what I’m working and doing in the studio… may look pretty clean and organized but the studio is as chaotic as ever. …
Few weeks ago, I’ve decided to give my room a little make over. Okay, “little make-over” may be a little underrated because I actually repainted it. Yup! I got bored and irritated with my bright funky room, and felt like it’s not my thing. So since I was on a tight budget, I decided to do …
Mother’s Day is almost near… have you thought of a gift yet? Well let me help you, instead of giving real flowers, why not be creative this year and give her a paper flower instead. It will not only last longer than real ones but it’s also quite unique. Wow! I sounded like a tv …
