Psychedelic Adventures: Melbourne, Australia

Yesterday,  my boss confirmed that I will indeed be deployed to the client site in New Jersey for six weeks and will be leaving Manila by February 18 or 23 (depending on when my new passport will be delivered). The news gave me mixed emotions because the timing wasn't exactly ideal as I had planned a trip to Sagada with my family and relatives on February 21-23 and another one to Boracay with my college friends on March 2-5. I had to cancel...

Botong Francisco at The Ayala Museum

Last week before going to the DFA in Megamall for my passport renewal, Jim and I went to Ayala Museum to check out Carlos "Botong" Francisco's "A Nation Imagined" Exhibit. The last time I went to Ayala Museum, their Third Floor Gallery was closed, so I contented myself with the Diorama Experience and the Crossroads of Civilizations gallery on the second and fourth floors respectively. It was Jim's first time to go to Ayala Museum so he enthusiastically...

My New Guitar Baby: Daniela

Photo from http://www.dd-customguitars.com Waaaaah I have a brand new guitar baby!! Ze boyfriend bought a D&D Slim Standard Natural Acoustic Guitar for me yesterday!!! I was overwhelmed despite picking up a hint from him when he was asking me to test it.

Moonrise Monday

Ah, Monday. It's the dreaded beginning of week madness. Things are starting quite slow because it takes time for me to get back into I.T. mode. So. What do I need to do today? Ah, metrics reporting for the past week. I shall create my report to see if we are on schedule and on budget. First, I enter all my resources' actual hours in the Project Plan. Next, compute for the Cost Performance Index and Schedule performance Index based on the Earned...

New Layout and A Tiring Game of Tennis

Hurrah, I have a new header and a new layout! I must admit, despite being a Computer Science graduate, I'm not quite adept with CSS, so it took me a while to figure out to change the template. I added a couple of pages for my old illustrations and sketchbooks and hopefully I can add more drawings as I go along. Today, I pretty much did nothing but sleep which I believe is how Sundays are supposed to be spent anyways. I  attended Sunday Mass...

Hoping To Follow This for 2013

Just a doodle that I did yesterday night. It's a reminder that even if I'm not doing this for a living (yet), I can still draw and create something everyday. ...

A Weekend In The Life of A Multitasker

What a week. I've been filled with so much inspiration despite my body's lack of response to what my mind wants to do. There's been a lot of creativity going on lately, and I'm really thankful. I hope to keep this momentum for as long as possible since I want to improve on my drawing skills this year. I've been posting a lot of drawings lately, but haven't had a chance to post some personal stuff here, so I'll just put in a few photos from last...

Sicko Weako

Argh, I hate being sick. I've been coughing like a mad dog for the past couple of weeks and thus been working from home since Tuesday. While that could seem like a good thing, it really isn't, coz I feel like I'm still not in the loop when I'm out of the office (despite being online the whole time). Also, I feel so tired all the time and it feels like cactus is attached to my throat 24/7. I visited a pulmonary specialist yesterday and she says I...

A Bunch of Drawings and A Purpose for This Blog

This blog was intended to post some of my artworks, doodles and calligraphy when I'm not actually held up at my 9-5 job. Some people are fortunate to be doing what they are absolutely passionate about, while some of us who were late bloomers and thought were being practical, got into jobs that paid well but isn't really as fulfilling as we would like it to be. Define it as lack of direction or perhaps a juggling act, but as I have mentioned before,...
