Recent years -

Hello, it’s been 3 years since I last wrote anything on my blog. I am typing this at 1 am.. thoughts run deep at this hour. I’ve completely forgotten to update on my life stories here. Let’s summarize everything, shall we?

2022 was an eye opening year for me. It’s funny how everything changed. I used to be so close minded and I never knew the world has so much to offer.

• Closed off an overdue baggage

• Met new friends

• Met this incredible man whom I’m currently with (lifetime commitment *fingers crossed)

2023 was the shittiest year. I knew it, it was KARMA. I wasn’t my best self.

• depression

• anxiety

Midyear, I was slowly healing. Got back together with my lover. Started fresh.

2024 was the year for me. I was so blessed. I got my white coat! Made my mom proud! 🤍

• my man opened two cafes this year (so proud of him!)

• junior dental clinician

• learned so much about coffee

• close to being healed

• have girlfriends now :))

That’s not everything. I’m just bad at writing.. maybe I’m too lazy for this but you get this jist. I just hope 2025 will be kind to me.

Till next update!

July 2021

Haven't updated my blog in a while so I came back with a trip update. This was taken last july at Camotes. It was peter's bday and we spent it at his family's house. They own a really huge land by the beach so we were able to enjoy the isla life. We went island hopping, dipped in caves, smoked and drank. It was all good.

I actually cried during this trip, they were enjoying the time with their partners and I just felt really lonely. Fck LDR bro. BUT I GLADLY ENJOYED THE REST OF THE TRIP WHEN LEO SHOWED UP. *hail leo. My fave homie saved me. Till next trip, I guess.

September 2020

Hello, it's been awhile since I last posted an update. Life sure is full of surprises. I was busy planning and starting up my business so I didn't really had time linger and be active in social medias. But hey! I started up my own cosmetic line and art business. I've put up an art for a cause and received tremendous love and support from people. I have been thorougly blessed this year and I would want to give back to those in need. ❤️

I have a long journey ahead. Better get my motivation running at full speed.

June Baby

I have bangs now. I love and hate it at the same time but I’m not mad at it tho. Seems like the weather’s in my favor since it’s now wet season, I really don’t like to sweat especially when my hair sticks on my faceee. 

I have been reading yaoi manga and manhuas. I’m so hooked!!

Floral Month 

This is what I would look like if I had short hair and bangs. It doesn’t look that bad and I’ve always wanted to try new things but hoorah, the weather in Cebu isn’t so pleasant. I might melt in this heat plus I don’t want my hair sticking up on my face so let’s just put that on queue. 

Mom cancelled our flight to China. We were supposed to celebrate our holidays there and enjoy winter but sadly, there’s a pandemic crisis atm, even after the covid, we still have to postpone our China trip for our safety and our health as well. We planned to see the 7 wonders of the world starting this 2020 so I hope all goes well and I pray for everyone’s safety. Happy Floral Month, guys!

April 4th week ~

 I have been so productive lately. Lost my interest and motivation in art for awhile because I wasn't seeing any progress and I was really impatient at that time. Since I started college I was slowly pushing myself to make more projects and take up art challenges that fires up my motivation and it worked. Now that its ecq I have more time to fix myself and decide what I really want in life. I was also able to spend more time with my family and binge watch a lot of great shows 😆. But nevertheless, I'm glad that I'm reminded to never lose sight of your passion and I was able to create more using different mediums thus I'm back on track. This feels right. Always remember that slow progress is still progress. I've had my ups and downs and I was able to overcome my fears. 

KEEP CREATING 🌿🌿🌿 // you are loved

Birthday wish

I turned 19 last April 2 and I guess 2020 is my last year of being a teenager. I envisioned something grand but the world seems like its ending. The virus has not been contained yet, there’s still no medication or vaccine made and it has spread  throughout the country. Everyday’s just getting worse. I just hope all people gets treated equally in this quarantine. Not everyone can get their fill like us. I pray you all safety and good health. I just hope this will end sooner.

I’m almost out of watercolor paper so I have to use different mediums atm. Used colored pencils for these cyberpunk chicks. I was inspired by the film Ghost In The Shell and badass chicks like these screams futuristic mafias. I challenge myself to create different styles of artworks and I think it’s going well. But I barely have patience in everything and since this is my first time using colored pencils in pieces, it didn’t go as what I had in mind. Practice and patience is all I need.
