Officially 35 years of existence 🥳 My birthday will always be a rest day so I just relaxed yesterday to celebrate my special day. There are actually two celebrants, me and my dad. I had a short vacation for 2 days. Dad wants to celebrate on a buffet restaurant so we had a dinner in The Alley, a branch of Vikings buffet restaurant inside a mall. They offer international cuisine and here are some of the foods I had for dinner. First meal include sushi, maki and salad. Second…

Someone wants to spend her #Caturday as a fan endorser 😸 Spending time with family means seeing the furbabies too and I saw a clip fan model this time. This is Junior Jr. My nephew gave her that name coz her mom's name is Junior and she looks exactly like her mom. Junior Jr. loves that part of the swing near the fan and there she is becoming an instant endorser. Later on, someone accompanied her. Will reveal the other model next time. Stay tuned for the part 2. 😸
A take home for a happy tummy. 😋 While I was wrapping up things to prepare to go back to the apartment, my sister gave me these cotton fruits (santol). They know that I love eating those. Someone gave them plenty of it so they gave some to me. I love it for dessert. Aside from the fact that it's healthy, I miss eating it coz I haven't eaten a cotton fruit for over a year now. No one sells in this area. I enjoyed eating them with shrimp paste yesterday. They're all sweet and…
It's #Monslay and it's time to slay the week as I get back on the battlefield of full blast grinding. 💪 Let this elf archer start the momentum. 🏹 My vacation is over and it's time to hustle which means artwork is back too since it's part of my income generating activities. As I prepare another set of 12 drawings in advance, I started to do my sketching. From now on, I will finish all sketches first so it will be easier to draw since I can just focus on the actual details as…
Since visiting my family means automatically seeing the furbabies, Marky is the first one who welcomed me. I went to the room to place my things then I saw my niece. While I was greeting her, Marky immediately approached me. A cute way to butt in while we were talking and a cute way of saying he missed me. 😁 When I started to pay attention to him, he immediately lied like this and wants some belly rub. Among the dogs, Marky is the one who would always ask for belly rubs even…
An electrifying energy to sustain momentum this hump day #Winsday ⚡ This lightning guy is my second sketch. I came up with this idea after seeing a cool moment of Denki Kaminari from My Hero Academia. I may be a Todoroki fan but in fairness to Kaminari there's a pose of him that I find cool so I just modified it to fit my concept. Thanks to anime, I am getting more ideas and this lightning guy is the result. I want a lightning monster at the background for a change instead…
Esme Cold Wax for beauty regimen ✨ Part of grooming is removing unwanted hair. Waxing is way better than shaving. The hair grows slowly and it's thinner in the long run. I used to go to a spa for the waxing service but I got tired of falling in line so I started to learn to wax on my own. Come 2017, I discovered this Esme cold wax. It's very easy to use as long as you watch and follow youtube tutorials. It's very convenient now that I don't need to go out for waxing and this…
Finishing the work week strong with girl power this Friyay 💪 To those who know me, you can always expect a fierce or badass looking drawing from me coz you know how much I love it. 🤩 This female vampire is part of it. This is my 3rd sketch. One of the things I love to draw is a vampire coz I love goth fused with fierce and devilish look, making it badass while staying pretty. For a change, I made this vampire a wielder of blood power instead of the typical one holding a…
Stay happy and sexy this weekend like this mercat celebrating the #Caturday 😸 This cute, sexy and unique mercat is my 4th sketch. Out of my 12 drawings, I included 4 mythical beasts/animals and this mercat is one of them. I recall the fun mermaid cat edit I posted here last year so I came up with the idea of including a mercat in my batch of drawings this time and this is one of the 4 mythical creatures I've drawn. To those who know all the cats I showed here, can you recall…
Since Sunday is #funday which means either a day to rest or a day to go out, I would like to share this photo where mom had been a couple of years ago. She went out that time and she had been to a very nice garden filled with lights. This is in Sta. Maria, Bulacan. Some parts of it have a Christmas vibes while some are Japanese inspired. This is one of the Japanese parts of the garden. It really is beautiful and I love the creative idea of pink lights that make the tree…
Someone spreads cuteness at the start of the week. This female furbaby is the new pet of the landlady here in the apartment. I forgot to ask her name coz I was enjoying a lot when I took her photo while playing with her. She's very friendly and she loves it so much when you carry her or put her on top of the table. The best part, she's so ready for picture taking. 🤳 📸 She really faced the camera as if she wants to be a model. Here's the evidence of a cooperative model…
Yay! Back to buffet 🤩 We tried a different branch of Vikings buffet restaurant. It's in SM North Edsa. My sister invited me to my nephew's birthday yesterday so buffet is waving.👋 I enjoyed it more this time coz I didn't vomit and I made it to my favorite round which is the dessert. Here are the dishes I ate. 1st Round - cheesy pizza and pasta and sushi plate 2nd Round - Bread, meat and seafood plate 3rd Round - Dessert plate, the most exciting part 😁 I highly recommend this…
If there's a vampire, werewolf will surely be present 🐺 My 5th sketch for this batch I'm working on. Since vampire is part of my drawings for this next batch, I decided to make the rival too, which is the werewolf for a back to back night creature art. I plan to make this werewolf white coz it's unique and more attractive. I got the idea for that color when I recalled the rpg game that me and my boyfriend used to play long time ago. For the armor and outfit, I'm thinking of…
More ferocious creatures are waving this #Fursday. Say hello to the feisty chimera. 🦉🦁🐯 This is my 6th sketch. The more, the merrier, so I decided to draw a chimera with multiple heads for a change rather than the typical one with a lion head alone. A chimera is a combination of multiple animals so might as well be creative and make a unique combination. As I search for a reference, I also notice that a three-headed chimera is often a combination of a lion, dragon and goat.…
After a back to back ferocious creatures as fierce as the past few days of grinding, let's end the work week with a cute cupcake party this Friyay. 🧁 This is my 7th sketch. It's something cute this time to provide more variety. This is also one of the colorful drawings I will have for this batch. I plan to make the icing rainbow colored then the rest will be shades of brown for a contrast. The background will have citrus colors since the theme for this one is something cute…
Time flies really fast and it's #Caturday before we knew it. 😺 I captured this siblings while I was visiting my family. The black one is Azul and his sister, the one with three colors is Maldita. My nephew likes the black one when he was a new born kitty because of his fur and his bluish eyes. His bluish eyes made my nephew name him Azul. But his eyes turned green now that he's a grown up. His sister, Maldita is the one I named coz maldita is our native language. It means…
To those who know Loki, did you miss him? Well here he is enjoying his Sunday #funday with his new haircut. 🐶 My sister had him trimmed to prevent tangles on his fur. There are times when my sister feeds him outside of his cage so I took the chance to take his photo especially with his new haircut. I can barely take pictures coz he's running around a lot. It's a good thing that he paused for a while when he saw me at the door. So there he is having a quick pictorial. 😁 Glad…
Rise and shine, it's another #Monslay! It's another chance to slay the week with a will as strong as our muscles. 💪 Starting off the week with the strong will to grind after a peaceful weekend. Geared up to face the waves of work like this surfer, I'm excited as I'm nearly done with the 12 sketches. 🤩 This is my 8th sketch. I want to put my nature brushes into use so I decided to draw a surfer since the background will be the beach. To those who look forward to muscles in…
I choose to be cute and excited this #Chooseday says Marky. 😁🐶 Marky knows that we'll go out whenever he sees people changing clothes. This dog has a very keen observation and he remembers the patterns of our actions. This is how excited he is while my nieces are changing clothes. It's his way of saying he wants us to take him with us. The second photo is my sister's FB story. They took Marky with them while they're on their way to my sister's dental clinic. Marky is like a…
Spread our wings this #Winsday with this powerful Garuda. 🌟 This is my 9th sketch. Garuda is a mythical beast that has a head of an eagle and a body that resembles humans. This is my last piece of mythical beast among the 4 I've done for this batch. The rest are male and female characters. I recall the OP character in the rpg game that my boyfriend and I used to play long time ago so I came up with the idea to draw one. I found references that will make me use the nature…
Thank goodness. 🙏 My laptop's hard disk suddenly failed and can't be recognized anymore while I was saving my sketch. After 10 years of use, this is the first time that I need to have my laptop opened and repaired. I was so stressed coz my income sources are online so I urgently need to have my laptop fixed. Thank goodness I was able to accumulate the funds I need quickly. The repair costs $105 coz the hard disk needs to be replaced which is understandable since my laptop is…
Ssshhh 🤫 Misha wants to meditate this #Caturday. 😺 Misha wants a relaxing weekend while being a receptionist at the apartment. She wants to meditate at the middle of her job. But the moment she saw me, she comes to me without hesitation. She knows me very well and she shows love. She remembers clearly the people who feeds her. She would stop meditating in the name of food. 😸 Will give her some each time I got some extra foods.
Remember the handsome Loki who had his new haircut last time? He had new babies too and they grow up fast. Here are Loki's sons after 4 months. They sure grow fast. They all got the color of his fur but one of them got his mom's high jump abilities. 😁 The one at the left got sold out. There's only one puppy left last time. I'll have a vacation with my family a few hours from now. I'll see if the puppy is still with them. These puppies really have monstrous appetite. They're…
Today is mom's 2nd death anniversary. I started to stay with my family yesterday so we can all visit her tomb together. After this, we will have an out of town outing at the beach so I am having my week long vacation at my family's residence. Too bad I wasn't able to take pictures of the butterfly coz it won't stop flying around us. It has been said that one sign that departed loved ones visit us is thru a butterfly. A black butterfly was flying around us until we leave.…
Evil spirits go away. The shrine maiden is here to drive them away. 🎋 This is my 10th sketch. I've been busy these past few days so it took me long to share another sketch. I'm close to my target 12 sketches. Hopefully I can start coloring by mid August coz I need to work on the clean lineart first after all the sketches. I'll have an out of town outing with family too so I can start working again on weekends. Thanks to the Japanese garden I found on my mom's phone gallery,…
Touchdown Lafayette Resort, La Union 🏖️ This is the first day of our out of town vacation. We heard about the magnitude 7 earthquake while we are on our way to the resort. Good thing we didn't feel anything and we traveled safe to the resort. When we arrived, it's automatically picture taking time. Here are the facilities where I took photos. 1st photo - the signage. 2nd photo - the sunset view of the pool with the beach view. 3rd - the hangout place under the tree. 4th -…
Night life and view at the resort and resto bar ✨ The night view is really spectacular as we enjoy our trip so here goes my documentation. 😁 1st photo - hangout place at the tree 2nd photo - resto bar outside resort 3rd photo - night swimming at the resort 4th photo - mini bar at the resort We went out and explored nearby tourist destinations then we had our night life. I rarely have such night life coz it's dangerous to travel back home in cities especially when you…
Foodies for the win 😋 Aside from having a nice ambiance and quality service, the resort also has a very satisfying food. Everything is so flavorful with just the right amount of saltiness. The first 3 photos are the ones we had for dinner. We had 2 servings for each of them. First photo is called bagoong rice. This is fried rice flavored with shrimp paste and it's like Korea's bibimbap rice coz they included egg, onions, beef and some vegetables on it and you just have to…
