It's Sunday and my dogs are having a lazy day while I'm hibernating 😅 Yesterday was supposed to be my hibernation time but date happened and I also had to do the groceries this morning

Here's me attempting to draw again! And now I'm starting off with my mermaid OC. So far she's still an #ArtParkWIP and I'm just hoping that I get somewhere substantial with this today because tomorrow, I'll be working again ;;-;;
@Oatmeal-monster
Okay I'm making pretty fast progress OwO My tablet went low battery though and the dogs are telling me it's doggo walk time. This is still pretty fast for an hour though and I'm proud. I want to work on my parody of the Mona Lisa though 😤
@Oatmeal-monster
Took the doggos out for a really long walk today. All this just for a little earth hour at home. So the entire family went on a 1.5 hour stroll around the subdivision and we left everything at home unplugged. It was good because we rarely get to just walk around like this. We mostly go for malls so this was refreshing
@Oatmeal-monster
I saw this circulating around FB last night and I had to ask my supervisor and my friends if this was true and they had to clarify that the day off is tomorrow 😢😢😢 I was looking forward to a long weekend too Anyways, if I do get a day off tomorrow, I think I'm going on another date with Sam >w< and we're going for a picnic
@Oatmeal-monster
I love my cousin for always sending me pictures of Loki and Starky in silly moments 😂 today, they're just sleeping since they went on a really long walk yesterday too. But they're so cute even when they sleep! I wish I could babysit them again soon!
@Oatmeal-monster
I was really hoping to not have work today ;;-;; but here I am 😂 I'm currently in the lab pantry, eating breakfast while I wait for the equipment I'll use to equilibriate Apparently it was too much to ask for a little break but oh well, double pay UwU that's something to look forward to
@Oatmeal-monster
Ack I just wanted to go on date today ;;-;; but here I am, working on boron extraction, sulfur precipitation and heavy metal tracing ;;-;; The good thing is, we only work until 5 exactly so early rest for the day. Too bad for my date tho
@Oatmeal-monster
For the first time in 2 months- I went home by 5 ;;-;; and since I'm not used to going home early now, I'm having a snack in mcdo since I was really craving for something sweet. Now I have ice cream and fries UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
It's only 3:30 and I'm already done with wooorrrkkk Now I don't know what to do ;;-;; I'm just listening to the seminar in the lab and I am already sooo sleepy I know I won't go home early though 😅 because the co-worker I go home with always goes home around 7
@Oatmeal-monster
Victoria needs to get groomed again soon UwU I can't see her beautiful eyes that much again And same old habits, she has once again claimed one of my pillows as her bed for the night 🤣 Also, I got home early today! So more cuddle time with the babieesss!
@Oatmeal-monster
Hello paperwork at 8am This is how my work greets me good morning now ;;-;; We really need to get a new analyst soon so it gets easier to distribute tasks like for one day, just do the paperwork then on another day, just analysis. It gets confusing when you have to do both in a day
@Oatmeal-monster
T I r e d I'm just extremely tired this week 🤣 but I'm done with everything I needed to do so I'm just chilling here in the office lobby I'm pretty close to dozing off though
@Oatmeal-monster
My cuddly af children that wouldn't let me leave for work 😅 So yes, I still went to work today because there's no work on Monday and we have sooo many sample dues coming up. I think I'm halfway done with all my paperwork. Hopefully I can get out of the office by 12 😅
@Oatmeal-monster
Weeeee I have time to work on my mermaid for mermay 😅 I don't think I can complete all the prompts but let's just go with the ones I can do for now. For now, meet Cordelia That name translates to "daughter of the sea"
@Oatmeal-monster
Progress... Is going pretty slow 😅 This is because I'm still trying to figure out how to go about the shading and the texture of her tail extensions 😅 I wanted it to be flown but now it just looks like spikes and I don't know how to go about this Software: medibang Duration: 2 hours so far
@Oatmeal-monster
My sister was talking me into taking this personality test 😤 so apparently I'm one of the rare personality types 😅 and I have no idea if I should be happy about this no-bs personality or not
@Oatmeal-monster
To conclude the lazy day, we're watching breaking bad while eating freshly popped popcorn!!! Tomorrow, we'll wake up at 6 to vote UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
It's election day! My friend sent me this last Saturday when we the leni-kiko kiting de avance took place in Makati. Quite honestly, I'm not sure which senators to vote for. Nor any candidates from my local government unit. But one thing's for sure, I'm trying to avoid people that have relatives already in position 😅 And yes, my mom talked me into voting so now I'm headed to my precinct 😤
@Oatmeal-monster
Currently back to learning Spanish because I have the free time for it. Then the friend I'll be living with in Spain told me that I should install Duolingo because that helped her learn basic Spanish so when she took Spanish classes in Spain, she was already on the advance course. So now this reward system in Duolingo is making my brain happy so I think I'll stick to it 😅 I like that even after all these years, she still remembers how easy I learn when I get rewards 🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
Taking a break from thinking 😅 I kind of just needed to write this down because I need to tell this to someone and I think my friends are tired of hearing me say "oh, I dumped the dude, I'm talking to a new guy now" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://read.cash/@Hanzell/dating-apps-and-me-a95db25f Anyways, I know I'm basically just rambling here
@Oatmeal-monster
So the line this morning was too long that we couldn't vote right away. That's why we decided to come back in the afternoon. Plot twist: the ballot counting machine broke in my cluster so I have been waiting in line for 3 hours now, almost 4. And I am Hella hungry. I just want to eat, I swear
@Oatmeal-monster
THE PARTIAL RESULTS ALREADY MAKE ME WANT TO SCREAM but the question is, will history repeat itself and will I be seeing people line up along EDSA just to set things right, or will things change somehow. Either way, my friends and I are rushing our passports and visas 🤣🤣🤣 So probably by the last quarter of 2022, or the first quarter of 2023, I'll be out of the country 🤣🤣🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
And so, it's time to rethink on where to invest again. This is really irritating the hell out of me and I've been attempting social media purge since yesterday, I swear
@Oatmeal-monster
My stress from this week is just piling up on me, I swear. Aside from national issues, I have work issues 🤦 So the oven we use for drying samples suddenly decided to go bonkers on me and that resulted in the temperature suddenly going up. It's crazy- now the sample is burnt and the oven is for inspection. Meaning, I can't work on ores for a while. There goes my reputation and my week 😞
@Oatmeal-monster
So I received a job offer today And the offer was like 1.5 times bigger than my starting pay here at my current company. The benefits are good but the thing is, I'll have to go he to tagaytay just so the trip to and from work would be closer. I don't really have an issue with moving houses but I don't think I can bring the dogs with me. And I'm concerned about the work culture too. Though after the fire incident this morning and the fact that I'm getting the blame for it…
@Oatmeal-monster
So I'm commuting again because my coworker has a date with the wife tonight since it's a special occasion UwU That means, no motorcycle ride home tonight since he needed to get home earlier than me and I was still finishing stuff when he left. I have no idea what the occasion is but congrats to them and with him finally getting the date night he's been whining about 😅
@Oatmeal-monster
And so here is me with my many many rants in life 😅😅😅 https://read.cash/@Hanzell/disappointed-02b3b6a5 I could not think of a better title for this other than what I feel. I hope whatever happens after this election proves me wrong and I will gracefully accept how wrong I am. For now, just let me rant
@Oatmeal-monster
Right now, I'm having an extremely late lunch and I noticed this in the food hall OwO Coffee machine!!! People were installing it this morning and I really want to ask if it's just for display or if it will have actual coffee Because if this is gonna dispense coffee, I'll have more of a reason to bring my own mug to work UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
And so I'm off to get wasted with my friends 🤣 I wonder if you guys know premium gin but it's so fruity!!! Like, you can really taste the juniper berries in there and the citrus essences they put in there (I mostly taste lemon 😅) but it's so good compared to London dry gin
@Oatmeal-monster
We just woke up and I just finished cooking whatever was in the fridge 😂 Why has our friendship role never ended yet. I'm always the first one awake and the first one that looks for food then they'll just wake up to the smell of food The good thing is, her mom loves my cooking so I have unlimited access to their kitchen ❤️❤️❤️ For dinner, we'll make ramen since I already cooked chicken and tofu for lunch
@Oatmeal-monster
And so we finally get the farewell party going! Just found out this morning that my best friend is moving to a different city by next month so for the next few weeks we'll be helping them with the packing and hopefully when they've settled down in their new city, we can go visit them there!!
@Oatmeal-monster
It's raining hard today plus there's so much thunder 😅 So now, Sebastian is too scared to even move. Idk he's just panicking internally while looking around too much. Before he would start crying when there's thunder but now he just wants to hide in pillows
@Oatmeal-monster
I was really motivated to draw today but I kind of realized that all my sketchbooks ran out of pages 🤣 So I went out to buy a new one and some pens and now I'm thinking of transferring an old ink drawing here because I like this drawing so much 😅 But I'll do that after dinner!
@Oatmeal-monster
10 minutes into sketching 😅 I was supposed to draw the crow but I missed my edgy seductive style so I thought I'd try to summon that side of me again, even just for a while
@Oatmeal-monster
An hour of sketching later and I'm halfway done! I guess I still have my sketching speed with me! The god of art still loves me 💕💕💕 I may work on this until 11 pm my time because I have work again tomorrow 😭😭😭 but I've been thinking... Maybe I should try to do one drawing a day again? I remember having a 20 day drawing streak before. Maybe I can fill this notebook up with pen drawings? Materials used: notebook, BIC ballpoint pens Duration: 1 hour so far
@Oatmeal-monster
Progression so far.... I'm still not satisfied with it. Maybe I'll work on it a bit over break but duration so far is at 1 hour and 30 minutes. I still have time to work on it since I got to the office early UwU and I'm still waiting for the equipment to equilibriate
@Oatmeal-monster
Finally finished this and I don't know if it has that realistic feel I was going for but now I'm satisfied with the outcome UwU There is magic in white ink and now I'm off to start on a new concept and I'm just hoping the paper can hold out because i make such fine lines 😅 so I think the paper thins out way too much Materials used: ball point pens Duration: 2 hours, 20 minutes
@Oatmeal-monster
Working on a new drawing already since it's raining hard outside and I don't think I can motorcycle in the rain just yet 😅 I'm so weak to the rain that I won't be surprised if I catch a cold the next day. Anyways, I'm going for the opposite colour scheme of what I did a while back. Red background and black subject
@Oatmeal-monster
I was busy the whole day yesterday ;;-;; couldn't even catch a break of any sorts. Now I'm not sure of I'll be just as busy but I was sketching last night while waiting for the rain to die down a bit. So far this is what I managed and I guess I'll have to stop the one drawing a day and change my concept to "just keep drawing" just so I don't lose my artist touch
@Oatmeal-monster
My best friend sent me photos of the last rip we were on. This was from the DSLR And I swear, we're just so cute like this 🤣🤣🤣 the 1 trip a month never got to happen though but that's okay, at least we'll end up living together again when we go abroad 😂😂
@Oatmeal-monster
I wonder if people remember vouchers 😂😂😂 Cuz it has been so long since I last received fast food vouchers. Like, since the pandemic, I thought restaurants and fast food chains would stop using them but I guess they're back now?
@Oatmeal-monster
I wanted to sketch something on tablet today. Sadly, I left my stylus at home 😅 so I tried using my fingers to draw and as much as it doesn't look that bad,my fingers hurt 🤣🤣🤣 how do you guys manage to draw without a stylus?
@Oatmeal-monster
The sisters sent me pictures of sleeping chappo 🤣 they said he won't leave my bed again but it's not my fault I've been so busy this week. And that I've been so tired recently too. Anyways, I just found out it's the mercury retrograde season and now I finally figured out why I've been much more sluggish than usual
@Oatmeal-monster
Woke up just now and it's cute, my dogs are still sleeping beside me! They must be ready for Bonding time this weekend too 💕 Right now I'm still deciding if I'll wake them up so we can make breakfast
@Oatmeal-monster
I missed this messy desk set up in my room UwU For today, we shall art as much as we can! And I definitely should try to get back into creative writing soon. idk I've just been putting everything off because of stress but now that I actually have a decent amount of sleep, I'll get creative!
@Oatmeal-monster
So apparently I don't know how to neon on traditional art 😅 but I still know how to blend the colors properly. Anyways, that was my attempt at a street lit by neon lights then a nuclear power plant. I'm gonna try to finish this sketchbook today 😅 though it still needs around 15 more mini paintings
@Oatmeal-monster
3rd mini painting for the day UwU and 45th watercolor prompt: skeleton hand holding a rose. Sadly I'm no pro at drawing a skeleton hand but I'll look into that when I draw on my other journal. For now, I should really focus on filling this mini sketchpad up Materials used: saemi art watercolor, ink Duration: 30 minutes
@Oatmeal-monster
Having home made samgyupsal for dinner! It's been so long since we had the chance to have this kind of dinner UwU so I'm pretty excited! I have kimchi and mushrooms too
@Oatmeal-monster
I'm pretty excited! My family finally finalized the trip planning and on deciding where to go for my sister's birthday! We're gonna go hiking after all UwU and we will be headed to my 387. I forgot the other name it had but it's called "the chocolate hills of the north" though I've never seen the real chocolate hills before, I bet it's beautiful! After that, we'll go have a dip in aloha falls, which is pretty close. I hope June 4 comes sooner, I can't wait to climb up a…
@Oatmeal-monster
Hello hello, I just wanted to ask if you guys knew any NFT market places where I could mint? since the sbch chain doesn't seem to have that feature yet. Or maybe because I haven't been checking aroung the network again. Either way, If you guys know something, mind telling me?
@Oatmeal-monster
Spent the whole day at my friend's house today and she introduced me to some really good drawing tools while i gave her the crypto basic rundown. Right now, I'm still trying to get her to join here on noise. I hope she'll consider it because she'a an artist too. Anyways, i discovered krita. It's a drawing tool and i am impressed by the number of brushes it has, plus the blending tools!!!! It's a little technical though and the response is still pretty slow because the…
@Oatmeal-monster
I have pretty blue copper ore again! As much as I hate the processing of this, what I really love is the color it produces. That's Cu(NO3)3, copper nitrate and it's a really pretty solution
@Oatmeal-monster
I can't believe I'm still not done with this drawing yet I already have a new sketch I'm working on 🤣 but I definitely need to finish this drawing first before I move onto the other one. For my sanity, at least 🤣 and just in case I lose this sketch book and the person who found it hopefully won't judge the amount of unfinished work I have 🤣
@Oatmeal-monster
Been thinking of opening up commission slots for traditional art again because I have been practicing and I kind of need bigger savings if the goal is to leave the country by next year. Anyways, my red phase is over and I'm just kind of falling into a blue season since the rainy season makes me blue. Materials used: ball point pens Duration: 3.5 hours on the red guy because doing the background took longer than the actual object. 20 minutes so far on the blue lady
@Oatmeal-monster
This is the kind of comfort I never expected my dog to have on my bed 🤣 cuz he usually sleeps on his side but today, he's sleeping like he owns the bed 🤦 now the question is, where do I sleep?
@Oatmeal-monster
newly groomee babies coming your way UwU the babies just got grooommeeedd but before that, i was busy then i was hibernating with them, which explains my absence til now 😅 the groomers said they looked healthier since we removed chicken from their diets so that's a good sign UwU
@Oatmeal-monster
siomai is back! by popular demands 😅 it's market and grocery day today and i just finished clearing up the stuff we bought plus i just finished seasoning and preparing the meals fir this week do it'll be easier on me in the morning. How's your sunday going?
@Oatmeal-monster
Been working on something again. This time it's blue because of my co-worker's request XD I hope this week's workloa won't leave me so drained because I swear, least week, I thought i was gonna get sick from hanging out all day in the hot room that by the end of the shift, i just end up knocking out as soon as i get comfy. Material use: blue ball point pen duration, 1 hour so far
@Oatmeal-monster
this one isn't as polished or as smooth as my previous sketches and it bothers me quite a bit 😅 I'm trying to figure out if it's something with my pen or maybe it's with my hands now 😅 either way, I'm still working on it and it's already been an hour since i resumed it. these background things of mine really take much longer than the actual drawing 🤣 material: blue pen duration: 2 hours nolater, imma attempt digital again
@Oatmeal-monster
after a little over 3 hours (because my dogs won't give me a break) I am done with my little lighting study! I'm pretty sure there's a different shade of blue pen somewhere but right now, I'm just working with what i have UwU and right now, all i have is blue and black pens I'm still deciding on what color to work with next but after my little break, I'll be doing digital for a bit to slowly build up my digital skills again material: blue and black pen duration: 3 hours, idk…
@Oatmeal-monster
last post from me today because i think I'll sleep early and i also think that i neeed to look into getting a new stylus because just drawing by fingers really hurt and the cheap ones i bought recently aren't compatible with my screen. maybe this is why I've been skipping digital lately. anyways, i was just doing a quick study anyways UwU and i guess 30 minutes of exploring krita is doing me good
@Oatmeal-monster
I went to the convenience store!!! I got out of the lab for once!!!! And the first thing I did was go to family mart for their ramen and cake 😅 I really need to keep my cravings in check if I plan to save properly
