I've been stuck in my room for the past 3 days because of a stomach flu but this made me laugh out loud while I was going through my Pinterest feed. Tell me this doesn't happen to you. 😂😂😂

Note to self: Never write while standing. Attempted to balance this G like a rocking chair but failed to do it. ... #ickagraphs #ickasABCs #handletterredABCs #handletteredABCs_2016 #ABCs_G

Calligraphy nerding the whole week! I've been watching videos of @anintran, @masgrimes and @the_md_writes on Periscope and I had so many #💡moments. I learned about the importance of uniformity and consistency of letters; that they need to be balanced; and that I can't skip on those warm up drills. My favorite take away was from Doc Gail wherein she said that no matter how long you practice, you won't go further if you don't study. ... @iamjudy and @marjcuizonmatthews, thanks for being my study buddies for #studywithLoloLupfer! 🙌🏻😘 Now back to work!

Spiced up my entry for #handletteredABCs and decided to hunt down words that I do not know. Hope I made you laugh with this one. 😁 @iamjudyg and @handmadeletters ... AUGURY (noun) is another word for omen. ... #ickagraphs #ickasABCs #handletterredABCs #handletteredABCs_2016 #wordfortheday #wrongusage

DAY 83 of the #littlespiralnotebook . That in whatever I do, God willing, I would be able to bear fruit or be productive. Not for my honor or glory but for Him who has given me so much more than what I deserve. That is my prayer for the year. How would you like your 2016 to be? .

DAY 82 of the #littlespiralnotebook . There are so many things I want to get better on for this year. I wasted half of 2015 by not practicing or picking up my pens. For 2016, I would like to improve on the following (1) Brush Lettering (2) Copperplate (3) Spencerian (4) Flourishing. If you're just starting to learn calligraphy, I highly recommend that you study the correct letterforms. Most of what I write down is done in my modern hand but studying with @iamjudyg and @lee_lye during their #copperplatebootcamp, I was able improve on my writing...A LOT! Thanks ladies for the pressure. Studying with a group of people helps a lot and is way more fun than studying alone. .

This couple learned Lesson No. 2 in being married...to compromise. The bride wanted silver and the groom wanted purple for their invites. Amethyst (and @thewalkingdheng) to the rescue! Btw, lesson no. 1 is the wife is always right. 😂

This will make sense to all Filipinos and to all who have spent their NYE in the Philippines. 😂😂😂 Now, where's that microphone...

DAY 81 of the #littlespiralnotebook . "Manigong Bagong Taon sa inyong lahat!" Happy New Year everybody! If I had a wish/prayer for the new year, it would be for everyone to be the best that they could be in the eyes of the Lord.

DAY 80 of the #littlespiralnotebook . This is more of a realization and not a lesson for me. A lot of people have shown me their generosity and kindness this year so the least I could do was to pay it forward. I admit to being a little bit skeptical when people help me. I always think they have an ulterior motive so it's a refreshing and a humbling experience to be on the receiving end of their graciousness. .
