Happy End of Inktober 2022 ♡ Heipihalowin!

Hey I survived! Its really been fun drawing weird stuff and racking my brain with the rhyming poetic hugots for every prompts (yaaaaa Im serious with that HAHAHA) With my past Inktober drawings I used to tear off the page whenever I mess up the strokes but for this year I'm braver to risk the only page I have each day. TBH I did have some pen strokes trouble with some pages but I then realized how unnoticeable they are  (because my outputs are messy enough for anyone to even tell it apart 😹)

For completing this challenge, I'm proud of me!!!!!!

Hello Inktober ~ Be Inkcredibly Weirdful ♡

 

Hello peeps! How life? I hope everyone's fine even when sometimes everything's not okay. ♡

 My first ever Inktober attempt was last 2017 where I made it super kulayful, the second one was last 2019 that I made in black ink only. This year I decided to try once again and chose silver white ink in black sketchpad. As we all have light-filled days when we feel at peace but more often than not, we also have dark and sad days when we seem out of sync. It is precisely the blackness (difficulties) that enables the light (our faith and strength) to shine more brightly.
 

YAY! Hugot now, drawing later! HAHAHAHAHAHA~ Im not expecting much of my outputs, expectedly it will be simple and messy and ill just make up for it by my rhyming poetic hugots. Hihi.Added challenges: (1) having the prompt list ready so no changes will be made (2) I only have one page per day so I only have one chance (not to mess it up ottokeeeeee~) 

How stressful but surely fun umARTe. yiiiiii~ You can check my inkcredible weirdfulmess HERE

 

MOM thank you for being an amazing dad~

This is the only day of this year when I remember by default that I have a father. I had.

Since he left, I waited and waited that he'll come back and I'll forgive him no matter how his mistakes seem to be unforgivable. Because I love him and I desperately dreamed to have my family be complete again. But he didn't came back.

I'm well aware that if it's hard for me and my sister, it's even harder for my mom who need to raise us alone. She did all the work to provide our needs, to still be able to send us on private school, made sure that we are well taken care of despite the financial problems we had those times and so on. It's a wonder how mom turned her pains into such great power and I admire her so much for being unbelievably strong. She's our real hero. The three of us survived it all even without a supposed-to-be responsible caring father.

As much as I want to blame dear father for ruining everything, for the princessy life that was suddenly taken away from me and my sister, I know that, still, I owe thanks to father. THANKS to him that I experienced how it feels to be left with nothing -- an empty pocket, a hungry stomach and a brokenheart, to be exact, literally. Thanks that he became an instrument for me to toughen up and be prepared for this life.

Coz maybe if I didn't experienced being poor before, I would not know the true meaning of being rich. I learned how to be strong for myself too so mom won't worry. How to feel okay having only one parent during family events, especially at school. How to get used to it without a father to protect his daughters. How to still feel lucky and blessed because God gave me a mother and father in one person.

I admit, I still feel sad about everything but I'm not waiting for him anymore because the hole in my heart caused by that father has been already filled with my mother's overflowing love. She is more than enough.

Daddy's girl no more.

안녕하세요 2021~

We are blessed on our best days and forced to get through the worst times ~and probably, one of the greatest blessings is the ability to see the blessings of both. 

 

Just when I thought life would slowly return back to the new old normal, but no, should I say it only got worse that it feels like we're all on our own. 

I miss having places to go every day. I even miss the commute, the annoying traffic and the noise of the busy crowd. I miss being able to swing by the grocery store and pick out whatever I want to cook. I wish that I could go run errands without being O.A when someone nearby sneeze. It feels weird to wash all the delivered food supplies before bringing it inside the house, IKR but to be extra extra safe. ~Alcohol, Lysol and Zonrox has become our defense team. Vitamin C, Strepsils, Ginger Tea and PRAYER as our daily shield.~ 💪 With so much anxiety circulating the world right now, nothing seems to feel right. Our work, our families, our health and routines all seem so far away.

Until this happens, we'll continue to stay at our homes. Grieving, praying, hoping, thinking about peace. Peering out our windows and wondering when or if this will all be over soon. 👻

I really hope. This too shall pass.

there's nowhere to rest on the battlefield anymore

Keep repeating in order not to die

At least a little bit of hope

 Been running, running away from it day after day, come on, 

The beginning of a long journey..

To us who survived 2020, I'm glad we made it all here. Let's not run out of reasons to live and keep surviving till the end, arasso? Aja fighting! 

Welcome 2020 ♡

One year ends, another begins

May it be filled with lots of wins

No matter what trials you face

You will overcome them with grace.

Happy Prosperous New Year to all!

this year's mantra 

Yaaaaas! we all have "more" time and c'mon let's make the most of it. k?

The rest is still unwritten. 📝 

Let's all write a good one! 💗

“I close my eyes to old ends. 

And open my heart to new beginnings.”

Thank you 2019 ♡

So with a few days left in 2019, it would be really nice to take some time to appreciate those  little biggie moments that had been part of our everyday life in the past year, and perhaps you'd agree with taking time to review your year coz it can be such a valuable exercise to guide you forward into the future. Is it? 

2019 for me, is just as challenging as the past years had been. Life, bringing me through the different seasons of life where I learned all that I needed. Truly merciless as I dealt with losses and pain, from 2018 until this year and with all that, I knew, I'm a little wiser and a lot more braver now. (and still the weirdest girl you'd ever meet) that, for sure will never change in me.

They say that the realization of gratitude increases happiness, I guess maybe that's why despite all the challenges and hardships I've dealt with, somewhere deep in me, I still feel happy. (like yaaaa it's really weird ya know!) Idk but deep in heart I always feel thankful for every little thing that has happened to me, is happening and will about to happen. Like whenever my plans fail, I trust God has a better plan for me and if the plot twist I had been waiting for isn't this year, then maybe, life will make it happen next year. Let's hope! Arasso?

 For now, let's go back and see which moments defined 2019 for me.

Tadaaaa! Of course, Happiest whenever I get to travel, those roadtrips and long drives are the best! First one is when we went hiking somewhere in Laguna - that big smile I had before the hike, all ready for the body pain that came after HAHAHA like I endured for a whole week coz I didn't take any pain killers hihi. The beach photo was when we went to Bicol last Holy Week and the last two photos was from my second visit to Hundred Islands.

Really looking forward to more travels next year, anywhere, everywhere! And hopefully, finally check off my top destinations from my bucketlist. Yiiii. 

One of my happy places is definitely the kitchen. Hihi. Whenever sad, stressed, craving for something or just hungry, this is where I find myself. And last November I made some bibingka a la Maria and thankfully, it tasted yum..hahaha!

25th

Christmas is the time when being extra sweet is okay. Hihi. This year I prepare some few treats to give my lovedones, some kids out there and to some random people whom I think needed some sweetness.
(I gave myself one, too.MUHAHA!) Happy, so far they all loved it and they all gave me the best gift ever in return - their gulat faces and genuine smiles.

Christmas is really about love. Anything extra is just that — extra. ♡

Thank you 2019, for all the places I've been to, for the  beautiful experiences you made me feel, for the challenges you gave that made me realize how strong and capable I was to deal with every damn thing courageously. You tested my strength and proved that life can change at any moment.  Most of all, Thank you 2019, for letting me survive this year, again and giving me my best chance to do the next right thing in 2020. 

Goodbye 2019, thank you for all the memories.
