Everything you need to know about the #SMStationeryArtFest 2018
Here's the schedule of workshops you can attend to for this weekend (April 14-15):
And here's how you can get into a workshop:
YOU READ THAT RIGHT. For only PHP300 worth of materials, you're already qualified to participate in that brand's workshop.
Admit it, if you take these classes outside, or somewhere that's not in this Art Fest, it costs hell of a lot more. So are you just going to miss this out??
SM Stationery Art Fest 2018
Years ago, I was nothing but excited to hear about and be a part of the first Art Fest held by SM Stationery. Three years and many fests later, I still have the same excitement and bliss. It was only then that I realized that it's something I look forward to every year BECAUSE HELLO WHY NOT.
It's become an event where I would automatically see friends from the same community whom I haven't seen since the last fest. It's that awesome! It brings people who have a common love for the arts and crafts â together.

SM Stationery's Art Fest is a week-long event bringing brands together such as Pilot, Faber Castell, IFEX, Elmer's Glue, Tokyo Finds, among others; and hosting a series of workshops for an entire weekend. Workshops can go from the basics of brush lettering, to calligraphy, to doodling, to journaling, to slime-making!
This year's Art Fest launched yesterday, and even though I've never missed a fest in the past, yesterday was the first time I got to experience participting in workshops firsthand (because last year I did a demo, so that really doesn't count as a workshop-goer? :P)!
I. HAD. FUN. I created my own slime. My glow-in-the-dark slime â„ïž Did you also know you can make a "crunchy slime"?
I was seriously at a loss for words about how delighted I was to be there. #TakeMeBack?
Anyway, I wouldn't divulge everything about it since you'd have to be there to understand. Only then that maybe we can feel the same euphoria I've been talking about! And then you tell me about it, yes?
By the way, my artsy heart went home doing cartwheels with my loot, take a look:

What Keeps Me Going
These are the comments, feedbacks, and testimonials I (as @8amthoughts) have received in the past 2 years in my website, www.8amthoughts.com, which is long gone :( Reading sweet notes like this remind me why I want to keep doing what I love; to keep writing, to keep inspiring.
âWhen I get on my IG you are one of the first accounts I look at. The beautiful pieces you do of others work and your wonderful 8amoriginals inspire me every time I see them! Your beautiful words inspired me to try out hand lettering and faux calligraphy. (I did buy a nib pen but I'm not quite ready for that yet.) The amazing thing about the hand lettering is that it makes me feel really creative. I haven't written in a long time and although I desperately want to, I just have nothing good to say. But I feel like I'm getting there. So thanks for inspiring me to find my creative self, she's been dead for a very long time.â

âI love love love your work. The writings that you share are beautiful and so eloquent. The calligraphy is stunningly gorgeous. This is one of my favorite accounts to show up in my news feed when I check Instagram. You are so talented and wonderful. <3â
- @thatoldrelic
âI adore your work and your rocking calligraphy ! You aren't just 8 a.m. thoughts for me. You are my all day everyday. A post from you on my feed is absolute an infinite <3â

âI absolutely adore your work. It is so incredibly beautiful and it's even more incredible when I see my work turn into these masterpieces you're so good at creating. And your piece is still my lock screen!!â

The People You Should Let Go but Never Regret
That Boss who Belittled You As your superior, you were expecting constructive criticism from that one person you looked up to. She was supposed to help you grow â as a professional, in a corporate setting. She was supposed to guide you through the ways of the world, through reality.
And then it didnât take long for you to realize she was an insecure little woman who only wanted to pull you down when she felt threatened by your intelligence. She hindered your growth. She set borders around your skill expansion possibilities. She made you question your capabilities. Let go of the boss who only ever did was to make you feel like youâve never fulfilled any jobs right.
But donât regret meeting her. At the end of the day, your rants were wake-up calls.
âI donât deserve this.ââI canât take this anymore.â You learned the extent of your patience. You knew you were doing better than she acknowledged. Because of her, you were able to distinguish what you deserve and what you donât.
Why Vulnerability is Not Bad At All
I have been lied to, cheated on, betrayed. I have been abandoned. I have been replaced. I know all these because Iâm vulnerable, and when all those moments came crashing into my life one by one, the only description that would suffice what I felt would be a thousand knives stabbed right through me. As far as I can remember, a handful of those experiences made me feel worthless. It was as if I never did anything right in my life.
My heart was open so wide even the slightest tap of pain would kill me. But opening myself up to the people I gave chances to, didnât leave me with regrets even if that meant being wronged in the end; even if my complete trust was thrown like it was nothing valuable.
The best response to the quarter-life crisis shit; the perfect assurance that everything's going to be okay. When it hits you hard, hit back harder. This is just a fucking phase.
R: How does one just get eaten by work so much na she stops becoming a decent human being? T: âȘThat's true. Na for me it's pointless to go up the ladder pero because of the people na tinapakan mo on the way up, wala naman nang tao when you're finally up there.⏠Wala nang team, support system, kahit friends. Wala, in short nasa posisyon ka na nga, pero mag-isa ka na lang. Ganon.
(That's true. That for me, it's pointless that you go up the ladder but because of the people you stepped on your way up, no one will be there for you when you finally make it; no team, no support system, no friends. Bottomline, you've made it to the pedestal but you're left alone anyway.)
It's okay to get lost sometimes. What matters is your determination to find your way back.

I know the partner Iâm with is going to be for life when she doesnât pressure me to go out after a long day, when staying in and cuddling to our heartsâ content is the best option we have â if not the only one. I know I have been blessed with a perfect half when being and trying to be perfect in its context is not in our long list of goals. I know I have the best person with me when she lets me live my life at my own pace. I know I should be content when I can sit with someone I can be totally comfortable with, even when doing nothing, even when in complete silence. I know I should be lucky to have someone who lets me have my alone time â even when weâre together. And damn I indeed am.. The luckiest woman in the entire universe. The happiest. At my best. Always.
