On the second day of our trip, we went out to have a tour on the tourist destinations near the resort. It's a good thing that my sister hired a driver coz he knows a lot of places near the resort. Here are the places we've been as he suggested. First 3 photos is in Bato de Luna. This is an art museum. All artworks here are stone sculptures and a few wooden sculptures that are colorfully painted. Even the walls and ceilings are painted too. They also have a souvenir shop and…
Selfie compilation will always be present on any trip. I'm happy to have some additional remembrance to keep and I backed them up in my laptop. We all enjoyed the out of town vacation. It was so refreshing before we adults go back to hustling and before the kids go back to school. Very thankful for the smooth and safe trip as well as the nice foodies. I hope we can have more trips like this again soon. Now that I'm back to hustling, the muscles you guys look forward to will…
The drawings are back after a week long vacation and they're back with a tutorial. 😀 Starting today, I'm sharing some basic steps on how I draw from head to body. I used my 11th sketch for this since it has the most basic angle. This one is about drawing the front view face and head. First photo is steps 1-3 Step 1️⃣ - Draw a circle. Step 2️⃣ - Draw a vertical line at the middle of the circle and a horizontal line below the circle. Step 3️⃣ - Draw the jaws slightly below the…
From my laptop, straight to your screens! 😁 Here comes the abs you've been waiting for as I share the second part of the tutorial. Yesterday, it's about sketching heads, today it's about basic body sketching. Here are the 3 basic steps in drawing the front view body. Step 1️⃣ - Draw the lines of the shoulder connecting to the head then draw a vertical line connecting to the one done with the head. Draw slightly curved outer lines, making the vertical line positioned at the…
A Friyay filled with muscles for you in this last part of the tutorial. 💪 This one is about the basics of drawing poses. The concept is actually simple. Follow the direction of your reference. Here's the continuation of yesterday's tutorial. First photo consists the first 2 steps. Step 1️⃣ - Look at the direction of the arms in your reference and draw the guide lines for it. Step 2️⃣ - Draw basic round shapes for the arms, making the lines positioned at the center. Second…
The badass male yokai 💪 This Japanese folklore demon is my 11th sketch. It's the last sketch I was able to finish before we had a family outing. Now that I discovered a nice community for personal NFTs, I plan to balance my drawings between project and personal NFT. I consider this as one of my premium drawings with all the complex details it contains. This is the reason why this one will be my personal NFT. I want to be able to put a price on this one instead of the fixed…
Better late than never for Misha to catch up on a #Caturday 😺 Another cute pose from sleeping Misha is waving. We're just the same now. Just like Misha, I'm lying on bed but for a different reason. I'm not feeling well. It's been 8 years since the last time I got sick. Now my body gave in to colds and my head is heavy even when I only do minor chores. Good thing there's no fever and my appetite is improving now. I just have to take a good rest and avoid moving too much so my…
Cold and rainy #Monslay and despite the bed weather, this cutie puppy we call Bear is slaying the day with humor and good vibes before falling asleep. 😁 He really is fond of this pose for a couple of months now. This has been his habit especially when he wants to relax or when he's starting to feel sleepy. He's the only dog who's been doing that and I wonder why. Little did he know that his habit is picture perfect and it's making us smile. His best shot will always be his…
The art museum we visited last time shows who painted all the stone paintings inside the dome. I was able to capture the name while there are no tourists blocking it. I was surprised that it's a Korean. The name is Mr. Kim. I wonder if it's his tribute to us. All I can say is that his works are amazing. It might have took him a long time to finish them all since the whole interior of the dome is filled with those stone arts as well as the ones at the floor and ceilings and…
One of the stone sculptures outside the art museum is this fish. Not only painted in attractive colors but I also noticed that there are carvings too. The amazing details I saw is the way the scales are carved. They're very clear and proportion. This alone is hard to do in drawings. I can imagine how harder it is in carving stones where everything is manually done and it's harder to carve than to draw using a pen. This little mermaid inspired fish is another masterpiece…
The green road 💚 While we're on our way to the art museum, we passed by a beautiful nature road. I love how they maintain this one. The cars here are very minimal and because of that, I see some tourists stop by for a bit and take pictures while there are no cars passing by. I even saw some of them take pictures while lying on the floor. We parked for a while and took pictures too. One of the selfies I posted here last time is in this road. This is one of the nicest roads I…
A colorful Friyay to us. 🌟 One of my favorite sculptures in the art museum we went is this row of cute and colorful turtles. This is another awesome masterpiece with the details that show the effort the artist put on it. I love how these turtles are colored. They are shaded and their shells are in gradient colors which make them look more attractive. The head and arms are also detailed with patterns that are quite tedious to draw manually. The carvings give volume to them as…
Azul in his "hold your head up high" pose 😸 Confidently cute with a pose, he wants to celebrate his #Caturday with his chin up. I captured this when I went out to hangout a bit then he saw me so he's looking at me. At least I was able to take his picture before he approached me. Among the youngest batch of cats, Azul is the first one who became used to humans. He started showing some love after I feed him in a few months. I was able to touch him too. He has the shiniest hair…
Pandan flavor ice scramble 🥤 I was surprised to see this in my gallery. Now I remember that I took this photo during summer and forgot to share it here. This scramble is a very popular crushed ice refreshment here in Philippines way back in the 90's and I'm sure that the 90's kid can relate. One afternoon, I saw someone passing by and selling this. Perfect timing coz I was looking for an afternoon snack that will beat the heat. I bought one and I love this flavor. It tastes…
Saving the best for the last. 🎨 This is the sculpture I like most in the art museum we went. I love how big it is and how lively it looks as it bulges at the wall. It's like a pop up style of sculpture as if the huge turtle is approaching you. I also love how they put cute baby turtles that made it look like a family of turtles. This one is also the most detailed sculptures in terms of colors and carvings. The nature also suits as background. No need to paint one. I really…
I've done my adulting yesterday when I renewed my postpaid plan. I went to my service provider at the mall. Each time you renew your mobile postpaid plan, you get a free phone. They approved my approval then I just roam around the mall for 30 minutes while I wait for the new phone they are preparing. I need a new lipstick since the ones I have are expiring so I bought one. That's my other purpose too. This is a nice replacement. I need one with natural pink color and it's…
A fun adulting to share this #winsday 🤩 Adulting can be fun sometimes when you get some perks. I renewed my mobile postpaid plan a few days ago since 2 years have passed. My plan is due for renewal every 2 years and I get a new free phone for that. I like that perks. It's worth paying the bills. You get a brand new phone for free and you can easily sell the old one coz it didn't get much old in your hands and it's still in good condition. The new phone I got is Samsung…
Aside from fixing stuff with my new phone, another thing that kept me busy is this new side hustle I came up with. One time, someone sent me a random message in facebook. The guy is a vintage toy collector. I happened to have what he's looking for. We had a successful transaction. After that, I met more collectors and this is how my additional side hustle started. The collectors I've met are now looking forward to the items I have to offer after all the successful deals I…
A peek-a-boo #Caturday for Misha 😸 I was looking for her one time coz I have excess food and I want yo give her some. I can't find her anywhere until I went to the reception and found her on a built in shelf behind the reception desk. This is how our receptionist catto is doing her job. 😸 Here's more food for your cuteness Misha. She went out of the shelf when she saw me. She enjoyed the food. Whatq a good life she's having. Spending the day being cute while being fed. Good…
"The fan is mine" says Marky 😁 Sunday or not, everyday is a boss day for Marky. This photo was taken last summer. The heat is extreme and Marky started to look for a spot where there is a fan. This dog learns really fast. Marky knows where to sleep now. Look how happy he is. Like a kid who sleeps happily in front of the fan. He's been like that the whole summer. This is the perks for being cute and extremely nice. He's the only dog who enjoys living inside the house. He's…
Boss Marky can be a model too 😁 I found this in my back up files. I realized I haven't shared it here. I shared this one on my previous platform before. I took this photo early last year. Since Marky is a well behaved baby, he had his photoshoot for a few minutes with a bonus. Sexy cat's special participation makes me happy. I got 2 models unexpectedly. Marky is very calm even when he saw sexy cat coz cats are his friends. After taking pictures, he enjoyed hanging out with…
Good finds keep on coming. I found this cute teaspoon while I was decluttering. This was given to me by my mom and I'm glad that I found it in excellent condition. This will be my cute tea buddy. I can use this for stirring coz I always add citrus extracts each time I drink tea. Looks like mom is still watching over me and she wants me to drink tea with style. This cute teaspoon makes me more excited for tea time. Still enjoying the perks of genral cleaning and decluttering.…
To some of you who still remember Caleb, did you miss him? Here he is again. He may not be with us anymore but he will always be remembered. This is one of the photos I was able to keep. I love it when he's in this relaxed position coz his belly is so soft. I keep poking it and it feels as if he doesn't have bones and he's as soft as a stuffed toy. It has been said that when rabbits allow you to pet them and touch their tummies it means that they are relaxed when you're…
A giant volleyball game for a #throwback Way back 2016, I attended a business event in Caliraya. Aside from seminars, we had several mini olympic games and this is one of the games I have captured. I wish I never had scoliosis so I can play it too. I'm not allowed to lift heavy objects so all I can do is to just enjoy watching the game. It looks really fun seeing my teammates enjoy the thrill of this unique giant volleyball game. This is played by 6 people of each team. The…
They started the week as models having a pictorial. Now they end the work week with a slumber party Friyay. 🥳😴 It's a boss life Friyay for Marky and sexy cat. How I envy them haha. It's a good thing they didn't wake up while I take this photo. I always remove the sound of my shutter. This is a cute moment they had together. Marky loves hanging out and sleeping with cats. The cats feel comfortable with him coz he's very chill and friendly. I wish I can capture more like this…
After energizing himself with the slumber party yesterday, sexy cat returns as a motorcycle endorser this #Caturday. 😼😎 This motorcycle belongs to my brother in law. He's using it for his side hustle. Sexy cat is the endorser. 😁 Cats often do the scratching with a few objects to sharpen their claws or mark their territory. It's a good thing that none of them scratch this motorcycle. They just love the comfort of sitting on a warm cushion. This turned sexy cat into an instant…
Profile Pic vs. Tagged Photo 📸 You worked so hard to come up with a beautiful profile picture in your social media account then you suddenly feel as if you've seen a scandal when you see your friends post a tagged photo of you. 😅 Yes that's what real friends do hahaha. Can you relate? I created a version of this with our pets before I came to this platform. I was able to keep it in my gallery so I'm sharing it here. It may be embarrassing but it's funny at the same time when…
Starting the week with a badass guy this #Monslay. Yes this character literally slays. 🤩 I'm so happy to receive one of the phone cases I ordered. It's Yami from the anime, Black Clover. In this anime, there are knights who use magic to fight. They are divided into squads and this guy is the captain of the squad called Black Bulls. He's really strong and badass with a unique dark and dimensional abilities. I also love how chill he is and the way he thinks outside the box…
Another old photo I haven't shared yet. Marky be like "I'm a pillow too". It's so cute to see him sit in the same angle as the pillows. He suddenly jumped on the sofa and he just sit beside the pillows then he rolled after. I wonder why he did it randomly. He went down the floor later. It's his first and last time doing it. Still a good thing that my phone was with me to capture his once in a lifetime random moment while he's looking cute. 🐶
Some winning eyebrows for inspiration this #Winsday 😁 Have you fixed your eyebrows? This little one made an epic reminder that I forgot to have my eyebrows done too haha. I've been seeing this dog for a year and I'm always amazed with those eyebrows. I wonder what they put on him. He always had those eyebrows. He lives in one of the houses I pass by each time I walk to the laundry shop or buy a bread from the bakery. It's always a bad timing. Either I don't have a phone with…
