Change

"The sky changes every minute... on the plains side of the Divide most people have visions

or go mad." ~ Sandra Alcosser

In times of trouble, i can find a constant source of amazement in my own adaptability.

Reminds me that things will shape better after the collide. 

And there is always a way to get through with it.

I can't wait to go back to my drawing board this week.

*Photos taken during my trip up north. Amusing how the clouds could go crazy in

just one afternoon.

  

skies and blurs

Warning: This post contains Cloudnography (in my vocabulary anyway hahah). The weekend that was. 

There was a typhoon during our trip up north.

through my looking glass

I could stare at the clouds forever whenever i'm not feeling well. You know how pretty things get prettier as they blend in different shapes? It's fascinating. Life's daily miracles.

Worm's eye view from the pool deck last weekend. I prefer a lone, quiet swim on a Saturday. And it's safer paddling in a swim wear when offices in the opposite buildings are closed hohoh.

Being the observant, it doesn't take a rocket science i know, nevertheless i still want to write or draw what i see anyway. I may be that geek. Yea, i am. 

This is the lightest and smoothest i can do. My drawings are quite rougher lately.  

Don't you just love sitting beside the window to gaze into the horizons? I will always request (and insist) to be on the lookout heheh. 

By the way, since i'm feeling a lot better now, i'd like to share my Oh Summer, Oh Sunday folder of goods. I don't know how long this will be available via link, but just in case, nab it right away (as in NOW) kids.

*Back to devising The Plan* 

Happy weekend, earthlings! 

are you stressed?

I AM. Unexpected events, pain-in-the-arse clients, a 'crossing-the-street-on-a-red-light-but-why-the-hell-is-this-stupid-car-speeding-i-almost-got-hit' incident. Name it.


Anyway, i do not want the daylight mishaps get through my evening. So lemme just stick few random stuff that made me smile amidst the unreasonably endorphin-rush-ed day.

neverending ocean 

ahhhhhhhh

finally, my last box to pack

breezy sunday

After a quiet time in the chapel, Googs and I went to the city hall fair to eat buttered corn cobs, takoyaki, and red berry. The whole place is lighted up for Christmas and New Year!











A lot of Tiangge (bazaar) that sell clothes, bags, toys, and anything bargain that you can find this holiday season. My sister Googs (below photo) checking where the Spongebob inflatable is (we didn't find it). By the way, the tiger is not Winnie the Pooh's Tigger. It's the Mandaluyong City symbol and mascot for being the so called "Tiger City" of Metro Manila. 





The evening is really breezy. Few hours ago, i was hanging out at the fire exit to check out stars. Though i didn't have any luck, i am looking forward tomorrow for Geminid.





There you go, peeking across the cloudy midnight: the moon and the lone star. :)





*Now jumping in to bed, good morning beautiful beings!

dear south again :)

The day unwrapped the inner child in me, hahah!























We were this high.. 



Funny-looking bananas



Love this beautifully hand-crafted Parol (Christmas Lantern)



Caught a dragonfly lurker :)





















Happy weekend! ;) 

series

Three-day challenge. I have to do seven piezas as requested. And as instructed, i can make it a series from one of my latest works. Sure, it's a mind equation because i've never done this before. But instead of stressing out how to finish before Sunday, i'll consider this as a chance to test and challenge mi own capability to make more come out from a sole piece. And as true as the old saying, when you don't know the answer, look up in the sky ~ praise God! i had the flow of ideas i waited for.







Notes: Movement, rotation, angles, perspective, play of light.

*My mind is already working though i hope my physical will cooperate. If you see seven piezas next week at Implode, that means i'm on it.

*The movement of clouds is inspiring, as always. Just look at this cotton candy.



After ten minutes, it slowly formed into this..



This serene morning goes to my grandpa, specially that puffy white horse.
Godspeed, have a peaceful and wonderful time (with the bottomless coffee :)).
Von voyage. We <3 you forever.

lighter stuff

Of six in the morning under a beautiful feathery lightness. Breath-taking clouds.

Of surprises. Finding a little package in my apartment's window. Happy pill goodies!

ambling about

Amused! What a 6am cloud this is. So puffy than ever.

Meanwhile, these are few snaps i got from this week's lone walks .. .

Mang Oca's take of Van Gogh at Crucible, Megamall :)







"Signos" at Art Center, Megamall




Here is Don Dalmacio's Forget

And many more if you took a 4th floor route next time you hang out at Mega.


Of course, this is my fave piece from Ryan Rubio's "Silence" exhibit at Avellana Art Gallery.



Meet "Dancing Maria" and trust me, she can really sway those steel hips.
