an update

what i've been doing lately:

1. a book project for vibal foundation. written by doc luis gatmaitan, watch out for it at this year's Manila International Book Fair guys!

2. i've been doing some ink drawings lately, for experimenting.

3. an illustration about reading and dreaming for a not card and exhibit (i think).

4. i've started keeping a journal where i do some drawings, sketches, quick brush paintings , etc. i wish to continue this as far as i can and thankfully, i get to update this often.

5. i am currently working with bunch of pencil sketches as studies for my next book project.hehe it gonna be fun!

6. i will paint more for 1 commission piece, and for 2 more exhibits (for now). im planning to organize 2 small exhibits by the last quarter. excited!

it's been raining all day and we keep on going

the rain doesn't stop and we experienced a 5.9 earthquake last night. we didn't notice any shaking as i was on a painting for a note card project. i already finished and went to the showers, thinking i should paint more. but then the lights went off, a black out, so i went out with a flash light (still raining), had gsm blue and went sleeping.

tsaong, quezon province

we're all excited on how this will look like a year after when this 2 hectare is transformed into a getaway residence for our family and friends. it does need a lot of cleaning but my dad thinks it'll be done in two months (i hope! can't wait to camp there soon!)

 it looks promising with fruit-bearing trees and a cool river we can swim at. it has fishes and turtles too, although one of the agent had several gun shots preying on a turtle for their meet (yeah, it's sad. my brother-in-law and nicky even went to his spot to stop him from shooting at the turtles but he did kill one already as we get there. they saw other big turtles but due to failing eye sight, i just saw a small one, gasping for air on the surface.)

anyway our family and two immediate friends (i figured we have lots of kaladkarin friends around but janice and nicky were the most available at that time.haha) had a picnic at the place. we started hitting the road at almost 9am, we also used nicky's car since all of us wouldn't fit in our crv. we arrived at quezon around 10-11pm.
