Nakakatuwa lang na nafeature na ang mukha ko sa blog ng iba. Wahehey! There's always a first for everything...nakakatuwa lang na yung buong April ko nafeature na ako sa iba't ibang paraan. Haylavet.
Kaso ayun...umm...well wala ako sa mood talaga today. Pero may mga drawings ako'ng hindi napost dito nung April kasi ewan ko...tanga lang.
Heto na:
Ayun. Wala lang. Nagtambak lang. hahaha. Karamihan naman dito nasa Tumblr ko narin. Bleh. Dapat talaga ayusin ko na mga blogs ko. Di ko na alam kung saan ilalagay ang alin. Maryosep. Aayusin ko to, wag kayo mag-alala. Waaaah.
So there was this little buzz about a free seminar called Playspace, sponsored by Acer Philippines and Intel. I learned about it from the ever fabulous Robx Bautista while we caught up a week ago just to doodle and eat our guts out at binondo. Hehehe!
And...it was because of them that I now learn how true these famous words are:
"The best things in life are free"
Oh they are...they very much are. Especially when your favorite local band was there for the closing event to rock the house down with their beautiful music. Plus the awesome surprise of a "meet and greet" the musicians after the whole shebang! What more can you ask for?! Not to mention that I need to get over my emotional problems so what better way to do it than get out of the house and go under the radar for a day. Heh!
Pic snagged from my new friend Monique's FB. It was the only shot with all four of them in it. XD
It was the first time I saw them live. I was mindblown, and my guts kept telling me to get my pen and journal to start drawing. At first I was reluctant, but what's stopping me right? It's good practice too anyway. So I ran to get my stuff and started doodle-dancing while they kept playing their awesome new tunes. One of the best days of 2013.
Armi + her signature~
Paul + his signature
Carlos + his signature
Ean + his signature
God they're so amazing. My legs were shaking the entire time they were signing my journal and taking a picture of my sketches of them. Next time I'll do a better fan-art of them that's post worthy....but for now...this will do.
I really love how despite the bad-awful start April threw at my face, it generously decided to blossom into a lovely surprise of new opportunities I can experience. I'm just so happy how things turned out for the better in the end, and I can feel that it's only the beginning.
Will post more about what happened in April some other time, I just had to let this out!
"I know, I heard that she even stole Andre from Lea during that overnight party last week..."
"What the f..."
The audible whispers went on for a long while. As such all gossip-mongers do when they have the hottest news from someone who knows someone, who got it from someone's cousin's sister, who slept with this guy in band camp. Crazy, I know...but such is the truth of life sometimes.
It's like shit to flies, if you would be so kind to pardon my french.
What do they know anyway? They think they're so different from me -- all because they never experienced what I experienced. I bet some of them are actually jealous because I can do something about my assets. Fuck them.....fuck them all.
Just a few steps from the stairs, the subject of the day was thinking all possible words of obscenities to describe these so called "young women of stature" in this prestigious academe. A smug smirk crawling across her face as she indulges herself at the new descriptions they have of her, enjoying and hating it at the same time.
Though she may deny it, she is hurting inside as every sharp word kept flying down her heart like arrows. But what can you do when you find love in the wrong places right? It's not like she can't help it if she believes every single thing a man says to her. They all look so sincere, so kind...like every word from their mouths flow like honey. And some are even so clever as to match it with actions for a couple of months. It's not like everything is my fault here. Why am I taking all the bad credit then? Assholes.
Then again, she can't really blame them, she's starting to give up on it and just let go and follow the flow of things. In other countries, after all, this is nothing...almost like going out for groceries kind of normal...right?
Right?
But the only reply she gets is the next track in her iPhone
I need someone, a person to talk to
Someone who'd care to love
Could it be you
Could it be you
Situation gets rough
Then I start to panic
It's not enough
It's just a habit
Hey kid you're sick
Darling this is it
You can all just kiss off into the air
Behind my back I can see them stare
They'll hurt me bad but I won't mind
They'll hurt me bad they do it all the time
Yeah yeah, they do it all the time
I hope you know that this will go down on your permanent record
Oh yeah well don't get so distressed
Did I happen to mention that I'm impressed
I take one one one 'cause you left me
And two two two for my family
And 3 3 3 for my heartache
And 4 4 4 for my headaches
And 5 5 5 for my lonely
And 6 6 6 for my sorrow
And 7 7 7 for no tomorrow
And 8 8 8 I forget what 8 was for
And 9 9 9 for a lost god
And 10 10 10 for everything everything everything everything
Right.

Hi guys! So it's been a while --- again! Haha! Here's a little bit of Vivi's story. I want to think that this song is the reason why Essa and her became close. I still don't know how they will know each other's 'lovelife music' but hey, let's just keep on churning out ideas right?
I don't know why I keep working on their background stories more than their present lives. It's kind of annoying since this tends to spoil so much of the story when I don't want that :/ But when I think of their present, I just go blank.
I tried to do handstands for you I tried to do headstands for you Everytime I fell you on yeah everytime I fell I tried to do handstands for you But everytime I fell for you I'm permanently black and blue, permanently blue for you
"What in the world are you singing?" Sid looked up from his book, seeing Essa dancing her silly dance around the living room.
"Bruises," she replied, huffing and puffing. "By Chairlift. I heard it on TV while watching some lifestyle show on TLC."
"...Ohhhh...kay...." Sid just raised an eyebrow and smirked a little, then went back to reading.
You-ooo For you-ooo So black and blue-oooo For you-ooo etc
"Oh god, she's on a roll today folks," he winces and curls up on the sofa, burying himself under the pillows to muffle out her voice.
"Whaaat?" Essa stops and slumps on the floor, breathless from all the silly dancing, "It's a good song!"
"Not when you sing it!"
"Says Simon Cowell!"
Then a stray pillow flies to his face. Followed by fits of laughter. The pillow fight lasted around 15 minutes, because they're aging twenty-somethings. And once they got all the laughter out of their system, Sid had to ask...
"So who's Chairlift?"
"Just this band who sang the story of my life." She grabbed her laptop and played the youtube song, letting him read the lyrics on the description. At first Sid was just nodding to the beat, "Hey, they're pretty nice..."
Until, as if on cue, he started to sing this part of the song,
I grabbed some frozen strawberries so I could ice your bruisy knees But frozen things they all unfreeze and now I taste like All those frozen strawberries I used to chill your bruisy knees, Hot July ain't good to me I'm pink and black and blue
he looked up, smiling at Essa and he paused when she was staring at him with an expression of awe...or something to that effect.
Awkward.
"What?"
Essa just blushed, looked down and muttered, "Nothing," I just never expected you to sing that part...because I wished you'd sing it back to me, and you doing this is just weird -- but that was just in her mind so she blurted out, a bit embarrassed I might add: "Just finish the song!"
And so they did.
Been a while since I posted something! Sorry guys!!! Anyway, here's another tiny bit of Essa and Sid, in a much later year...Vivi was around with them at this point...but I still don't know how her role should play out...anyway I hope you guys like. :)
I OFFICIALLY HAVE ILLUSTRATED A BOOK! MY FIRST BABIES. FIVE OF THEM. I HAVE QUINTIPLETS!!!! Hahahaha! Ahhhhh~
Yeah it's actually a one-week-late news for blogspot...since I've been raving about it this Wednesday when I got home and found the package on our dining table. Guuuuh. Awesome day is awesome.
Looking at this picture still makes me shake my head slowly in disbelief and awe...hahaha.
Lots of blessings are happening this month and it's just the first week! I can't wait for what else are in store in the future. Man.......meeeeeyyyyynnn.
Anywhooo...I'm starting a new project over at tumblr, cheggit out! I'll be uploading the first three over here just for fun. :)
