Once when I was little

It was a long time ago when I last played under the pouring rain. Just today, I witnessed children, right outside our house, having fun while its raining. I stopped for a moment and reluctantly smiled for I remembered when I was their age, I was like them, having no worries, laughing and screaming my lungs out because of the joy the rain brings...

beware of the Sweet Tongues

" Lil girls
it's suffice to say
never stop along your way,
never trust a stranger friend
for no one knows hot it will end.

As you are pretty, so be wise
wolves may lurk in every guise.
Now, as then, tis simple truth
The sweetest tongue has the sharpest tooth."

~ The Company of Wolves ~



Nowadays, we're not so sure about whether or not the boys really meant what they say. [talking to all the single girls out there] It's nice to hear compliments once in a while, but when do we know when he's already 'sugarcoating' just to get what he wants? Be careful... be really really careful, for when you go on a joyride on that motorcycle of his, there's no turning back. There's only hoping for the truth and a good relationship ahead... which is NOT often the end result.

a tad bit of everything


I wish to find happiness in every little thing in this world: may it be a cute teacup, a sweet gesture of thoughtfulness or being able to finish a hard day's work. being able to appreciate the beauty in all things small or big. to have wisdom over unbearable matters. to be able to take in both negative and positive criticisms constructively. to withstand the betrayal of false friends. to embrace my strengths and weaknesses and grow smarter each day. to love and be loved and live life to the fullest :)

I don't know how to work tumblr so I'm making my site (this site) a tumblr-ish one :) 
What I wish to do and be able to ACTUALLY do:



Create art


Read books again


Be able to shop again - don't even get me started ;p


Be able to go to such places I have in mind


Get all pampered [spa, mani, pedi, hair treatment]


Be able to go food-whoring


Go to the beach, chillax and get sun-kissed skin - I'm dead pale, i tell ya


Try on surfing / snorkeling 


Redecorate my room, then our living room, then the kitchen, then our bathroom, then my parent's room... jeez, OC mode


Relax outdoors with lots of beer and food on the side


Play music again


Dance again


Take lots of pictures ...  especially crazy ones ;)

iCREATE what iIMAGINE

Inspiring line from someone that made me all the more eager to finish my artwork:

"I've always looked for the perfect life to step into. I've taken all the paths to get where I wanted.But no matter where I go, I still come home me."

~ Layne Stayle




I have this 'fondness' in making artworks of girls with top hats (: - maybe Slash had made a HUMONGOUS impact on this. I admire the Victorian art... the Baroque art, Gothic art and the liquor called Jack Daniels *blushed*. I have always been a 'hard' drinker and no other liquor could measure up with my love for Jack. I know little of bad-drums-playing, but never really did played it in front of a crowd for I'm not prepared to get mobbed and be beaten up to death for the noise they'd be hearing to their already damaged filthy ears.

I wish to have an art exhibit of my own one day, where I could showcase my artworks... but maybe in the FAR future. Hope this'll happen. I do pray it would.. someday.

then there was light

a night of full recovery... I've now regained what is artfully mine... it has been lost and now, it has been found :) I thank thee for the inspiration and determination to finish thy artwork.

Back in Black

It's been a while since I last did an artwork... an ARTWORK for REAL... I have also noticed myself slowly losing my knack for doodling... realizing this... I knew what to blame... so I point my right index finger on all those over sleeping, over eating moments I've had over the past years that I have laid off of holding a pen and paper.

When I lack sleep... I produce art... when I don't have anything to eat... I create art... when I'm all "caffeinated" or "alcohol-intoxicated" and impregnated with creative ideas... I give birth to art... and without my brainchild... my soul diminishes into thin air... I die.
