五月 ｰ 七月 (June To July): ☁This Journal Is Inspired By Reese’s Aesthetic And Pixie’s Iridescent

Last week’s weekend escape to Pamilacan Island! It was so nice and peaceful huhu my best afternoon naps were here  (~￣▽￣)~

There was no “water” so we just washed our hair with salt water haha

An indian almond tree (or talisay as we’d like to call it) near our classroom just had its annual shedding from red to the color of the year and it’s so refreshing to see this after the last weeks of school. ✨

Can’t wait for vacation.

Conceptualizing Ideas for HNU

It was around late of January when they said about this project and that it would be launched on their Foundation Day which was next month making it also a highlight for the founding of the university’s official basketball team.

At the same time, my grandfather/lolo passed and I had to work on the project at mama’s house. It was tough with all the people but I eventually made it possible. 

Eventually, I passed the idea with the black/ peregrine falcon to them. If you’re wondering why it’s green, they had to change the color and tweaked a little bit. Some say it looked like a parrot but haha that’s so not my fault ;) 

Too bad I couldn’t get a photo of Falco, there were too many people > <

Thank you to Holy Name University for making this happen!

Hopes & dreams,

It’s still hasn’t sink in that the one I’ve been reading over the past six years has finally reached to its conclusion. 😭 Fairy Tail made me realize something back then and I’m forever grateful for this work. ❤

I now have my hands on Abbey Sy’s book about Journaling! ❤ I’ve been in love with notebooks for so long, this is the first time I’ve seen a book about whole heartedly jotting your thoughts, dreams and never-ending adventures in life. ✨

For now, I have these three to accompany me for the upcoming months (and my guitar). 💕

Late-ish upload again, sorry! Happy Phycology Friday! This week’s featured friend is also a familiar one: Chondracanthus exasperatus (explanation for why I redid this in the last paragraph). C. exasperatus (common name: Turkish Towel) is a species of red algae. Its appearance may vary with its environmental conditions; for example, its blade shape can vary depending on water velocity, and its colour can vary depending on water temperature.

It also makes for a good loofah, apparently. 😝 - A while back, I drew C. exasperatus and I wasn’t happy with it (it was really rushed and I didn’t have my small brush on me), so I took my sweet time with attempt 2. I think it turned out alright! (or, at least, attempt 1 pales in comparison). I also have a pressing of Chondracanthus (shown on the left in the first photo), which was awesome—it’s always nice to be able to have the real thing in front of you. - What would you like to see featured on a future Phycology Friday? Let me know! ☺️

Here Comes More Weird

Here’s to the weird and wonderful :)

Here comes more weeiiirrrd. (and the wonderful :)) )

I am proud to introduce these books of magic written by great senpais whom I really look up to. These books are the fruit of senpais’ sipag, tiyaga, dugo’t pawis and all other words that can say through their pusong mamon na pagsisikap. (lol im talking tagalog here im not even good with this) It’s nice to see that more passionate people near me have also the same love for this kind of art, and kawaii ;_; So note to self Justinne Hannah, you are not alone.

The Kawaii PH book was launched last June 17, 2015 and Abbey Sy’s book was launched last June 20, 2015 (my birthday huhu ;_;). Too bad I reaaallly couldn’t come to both events (why is this country an archipelago anyway). If were to come I’d definitely be in full support with you guys ;_;

“The Kawaii PH Book was created by the members and friends of the Kawaii Philippines team by compiling and sharing their stories, experiences, inspirations, blogs, and actions in order to help spread the meaning of kawaii and what makes every individual unique. The aim of the book is to enlighten people and educate the curious on what kawaii actually is, and what Kawaii PH does. “      - Kawaii PH

Proceeds of the book will go to www.kawaiifund.org

The Kawaii Fund is a fundraising campaign by Kawaii Philippines. One of Kawaii PH’s ways of making this happen is the book. They are also selling shirts and holding kawaii workshops like the upcoming dance workshop with cover group Seishun Kakumei. All of these will someday result to a kawaii dream for the community, Kawaii in Manila 3 / Kawaii in Asia. <3

So gambatte!! <3

THE ABCs OF HAND LETTERING by ABBEY SY

I was sooo happy they launched the book at the same time as my birthday (fangirling haha * *)

I just got this last week and after three months of searching and searching, it was finally available in my nearest NBS branch huhu. Turns out the book got sold out and I got the second printing (to be available in an isolated NBS branch) but still yaaay I got it the day before I proposed my thesis title (reality check lol)

Proposed my title and I can take a little relaxation and draw & paint again huhu it’s been a while ;_; More ahrt for meeee

Oh and also looking forward to to Reese’s first album soooon! MUST get a copy of her music * *

That’s probably it for now, ‘til next time!
