Free Positive Thoughts, anyone?

Spotted these at the school where I take my Filipino class!  Aren't they awesome?  I chose the "Complain less. Breathe more."

I'm now really inspired to make something like this!  I should make a "Free Compliments" one or something.  Then I could put it here for you guys to print & use for free! YAY!  I shall work on it soon.

P.S. I apologize for the very low quality photos.  Used my phone to take them since I didn't bring a camera. [Huhuhu, I miss the Nikon]

Belated Happy Birthday, Hermione Granger!

This is probably one of the messiest works I have ever done.

Behold, the Hermione Granger sketch dump! YAY!  Belated Happy Birthday to the brightest witch of her age!

Hello everybody.  Are any of you here, interested in film photography?  I very much am, and I was just wondering, what would be a good camera to start with?  For those who own film cameras, I would gladly appreciate if you would comment your suggestions & tips.  Thanks a bunch! (:

Forever and Always

Meet my best friend, Sam.  We've been friends since like, forever.  I love her very very much.

We do the craziest things together.  She's the straw to my berry and the apple to my pie.  She's my Lilo and I'm her Stitch.  She's my Justin and I'm her Jaden.

We think crazily alike, too!  Sam and I think the exact same things at the exact same time.  It's like our minds are linked together!  You know what they say, "Great minds think alike."

Homeschool Diaries: 9.10.2011

Having small field trips with other homeschoolers is such an enjoyable thing to do!  

Last September 10, we went to Luneta park & Light and Sound Museum with fellow TMA homeschoolers and had a Philippine history day.

Walking around Luneta was quite fun, although I do have a question.  Why is it the vendors there sell American food?  Why can't they sell Filipino food since it is Luneta park, which is full of Philippine history?

The Light and Sound museum was really nice and I loved the part where they introduced the characters from Jose Rizal's Noli Me Tangere.  

Stay tuned for more Homeschool Diaries!

The Manila International Bookfair!

Oh how I love going to the Manila International Bookfair every year!  I always love splurging on great buys! 

This year, I bought Wicked by Gregory Maguire & the Wicked piano scorebook!  Wicked is probably my favorite Broadway musical next to Annie, and I dream of playing Elphaba one day.

I also bought a drawing book about anatomy, so I can better understand the human figure and draw better pictures of people with better proportions! 

Let us not forget Sherlock Holmes!  I really like reading about mystery, crime & detectives, so I bought Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.  I wonder how long it will take me to read both volumes...

In the Tahanan Books booth, I found hilarious post-its with funny grammar errors by Filipinos.  I chose 'For your FYI'.  It's so cute!  The illustrations are by Elbert Or, who actually dropped by the booth & made On The Spot drawings.  He was amazing!  I was so inspired after that!

I really can't wait for next year's bookfair! 

I met Maria Aragon!

Last September 4, I was in Megamall, heading to a Vietnamese restaurant, while waiting for the rain, outside, to stop.  I noticed people gathering around the center.  (This always happens in Megamall, by the way.) "That's just probably some celebrity I don't know," I told myself.  I decided to check who it was.

HOLY SHMOW, I saw a huge sign saying "Maria Aragon", and there she was, signing autographs!  I practically had to force my mom to come with me downstairs so I could line up, have her autograph and take a picture with her.  I ran through the crowd, (even though my shoes were killing me) bought a cd and lined up. 

She was adorable!  Her album is great!  I love the studio version of Born This Way.

Still starstruck.

ARTastic!

Hello everyone!  I am happy to say that I have finally created a deviantART account!  I will be uploading all my artworks there.  Click here to visit!
