Do What You Love

And I do love to create!

Mood music. (Although to be quite honest it's my least favorite Gotye song, but hey, it's the most fitting one I could dig up. :))

I promised that I'd blog about Graphika Manila 2013, so here it is, fresh out of two weeks of memory. Haha.

Intern Time

Yesterday was my second time assisting my Tita Lianne in one of her photoshoots under Sunnyside Photography. The first was at a birthday party at the Ark near Tiendesitas.

This time we were at the Manila Hotel taking pictures of my Tita's friend's family, including this cutie:

Chloe!

Go Do

I finally got to use the Muji binder my friend Trisha gave me for my birthday!

I really didn't expect the paper to receive watercolors so well. The pages looked so thin and I was scared the water would eat it all up. To my relief, there was only a little crumpling and the paints worked like a dream. (Trisha, if you're reading this, you da best. :D Hihi)

I painted these yesterday, and took the advantage of borrowing my Tita's camera to document them today.

I had indeed tried drawing other things on this prior, but the perfectionist side of me took over and I tore both pages (yes, two :'() out and started anew. I thought my first Outfit of the Day entries (inspired by fashion bloggers everywhere and Flominowa especially) would be appropriate for that new start. :)

I actually have the chance to dress up now since it's Christmas Break. And yes, these are mostly accurate, starting from the bottom which I wore to the school Christmas Party. :)

Yeees, making up for my lack of bravery to own a Lookbook, and the resources to take pictures of my outfits everyday. Woohoo!

Cookie Couture

I've always wanted to start a fashion/cooking/photography/art blog, but I have neither the time nor resources to maintain any (except perhaps the last category). I've finally had the chance to start this blog move with a post that falls under all of those categories.

My Tita gave me "fashionista" themed cookie cutters as well as edible markers for Christmas, and I couldn't wait to use them - so that's what I did today. Hihi. Also borrowed my other Tita's DSLR just for the occasion, because I'm so obsessed with posterity like that.

Primadonna girl, would you do anything for me? Buy a big diamond ring for me? Bake a batch of cookies for me?

Although they didn't really come out as I expected them to be once I started decorating, as the glaze was really runny (LOL what did I expect...) and it took a long time to set. The last time I made this was when I first got the book, when I was less than ten years old for that birthday.

Inside joke with my schoolmates. Heh.

I've eaten so many of the rejects, and now I'm rather full. I may not be planning on giving any of these away (I haven't deemed them worthy of being seen by other people haha) but they sure are good. ;)

I'm afraid I don't have a Christmas post all on its own. Truth be told I'm one of the people who haven't been feeling Christmas very much this year. :( However, I'm still so grateful for all the things I received and just being able to spend time with the family after such a busy, fast year. 2012 went by like a breeze.

Belated Merry Christmas, and an advanced Happy New Year! :)
