my attempt to live a creative life hehe consume art, make art and buy art hehe

The struggle of wanting to do so many different things at the same time is getting on my nerves again. I had to remind myself that I have a long life ahead of me to do these things. For now, I need to prioritize one at a time so that I can fully give all my energy into doing it.

I decided to put most of my energy and focus on my new job, so I am doing less art or anything creative—well, at least I try to do something creative once in a while in order for me not to forget about it, not letting my skills get rusty. I do some random sketches, take videos & edit them and upload them on my channel on Youtube.

I am also consistently writing down on my journal which is a big help on figuring out who I am, who I am becoming in this new season of my life, getting to know myself more, what I wanted for myself, just doing some life auditing.

We are almost done with the year and one of the many realizations that I experienced this year is that we are all one choice away from completely changing the course of our life. They're right! Also, living in the present, being grateful and minding my own business really makes me feel at peace.

after taking a quick rest, sheryl and i met up with nethy who happens to be in manila as well for her school related stuff, we planned to go to BGC to roam around and look for smiski or sonny angels, and for a change we decided to take the bus and mali yung pag intindi namin sa driver so bumaba kami sa maling area, hahaha which is fine so we got to walk to high street.

the air quality that time was kinda bad din, it was so hazy. Haha, tapos ibang pagod yung commute pala sa mnl ayoko na e try ulet 🥹

I finally tried Jamba Juice and I forgot what I bought but it was good, i think it has coconut water and strawberries in it!!! and we had dinner at bonchon, we don't have bonchon in iloilo anymore so that's sad.

I went to muji to buy pens for my brother and for myself, then there was a weekend market going on and we went to check it out. We bought stickers from paperaica shop and nethy bought red velvet cookies from ciento cookies.

Last agenda for the day, we visited Fullybooked! I saw the physical copies of the poppy war trilogy! Roamed around the store to check books that I've read. Haha

We bought smiski! I finally own not one but—three smiskis! oh the joy when I unboxed and pulled three thinking smiskis!!! I can't wait to buy more!!!

to end day 1 of the trip, we booked angkas going back to the condo, because grab was expensive (?!!?) and I have never felt so brave and scared at the same time however It was a fun experience, it's a 5 out of 5! Lol

we roamed around IKEA! my first time to go inside and we had fun checking out furnitures, playing around their showroom, lol!

after an hour and a half of roaming around my friend and i ended up buying a lint roller—because it's one of the cheapest things that you can purchase there?! and I love lint roller!!!

my cousin and I also bought the cute bear, so cute!!!!!

I haven’t brought my camera out in a while, it feels nice to take photos again. Also, I tried the 7-day free trial of Lightroom and it feels nostalgic to post-process photos making an effort to look for that perfect mood for the photos.

I love walking because I get to see the sky change color 🥹

i’m realizing that i have so much time. i have time to grow my hair long. i have time to cut it all off and then to grow it back again. i have time to discover new hobbies and give up on things that no longer serve me. i have time to grow and change and travel and change my opinions and live differently than how i am now. i have so much time. take a deep breath and slow down

Here are some photos that won’t make it on my Instagram for some odd reason that I couldn’t point out.

A photo taken from the supermarket fruit section, sky photos taken from my afternoon walk, and that one vending machine filled with Korean snacks that I wanted to try.

This what usually happens when I’m feeling empty all of sudden, I tend to buy random things impulsively--things I don’t need-- Especially pens, notebooks, other art materials, groceries to somehow make me feel better. There was this time that I was bored and feeling down I went inside the supermarket and went out with two plastic bags full of groceries.  

Today, I bought three miniso brush pens for a hundred pesos--it’s actually 99 for 3--because I’ve been eyeing it since last month, and a Koi water brush that I never expected myself to purchase it because it’s a bit expensive but whatever, I’m still going to use it anyway. Oh yeah, I ate at Sbarro as well, baked ziti will forever be my comfort food.

I rarely go out of the house when it’s my day off. I just want to spend more time sleeping or brainstorming some ideas for my creative stuff.
