The Blue and Orange Project™: no. 6

i got the urge to do some sketching earlier this afternoon so i decided to kind of revive the whole blue and orange project. except now it's just the orange project (i.e. ME) for the meantime because the gf is busy.

this week, i present to you.. ASTROBOY!

the upcoming movie about our favorite robot boy has got me excited and judging from the teaser trailer, it looks awesome! see for yourself.


that is all.

ciao, bella.

for someone uninhibited by life's many tragedies,

for someone who embraced its many nuances,

for someone who brought joy to a lot of people,

for someone who was a FRIEND.

you will be greatly missed. ~~

heaven will be a much happier place with you there. make the angels piss in their robes laughing, okay?

my first crack at digital painting.

christmas is a-coming. bah-humbug.

christmas is less than two months away, and it took a cold shower early this morning to remind me of it. i've come to associate the switch from warm to cool climate with the yuletide season though i know it's not always the case. go figure.

when i was a kid, christmas was always fun. mom and dad were still here in the country, and our house was always the venue for big family reunions. titos and titas, cousins and grandparents, each one would bring food that we would eat come lunchtime. we had games, and of course the customary exchange gifts and aginaldos. over the years this tradition faded away. maybe some of the relatives got tired of it, or maybe they just had too much stuff going on. i don't know which. 

i miss being a kid sometimes.

yes, the kid on the right is me. sometimes we had lechon, other times we roasted chicken.

it's starting to bug me how i haven't been able to write anything the past few weeks. it's not for lack of trying, or stuff to write about. it's like whenever i attempt to do so, my mind goes completely blank and nothing comes out. like designing, writing is one of my outlets and in my opinion the more honest and the more personal one. i've been banking on it since i felt the onset of design drought, but now it's gone too and the alarm bells are ringing louder than ever.

i guess i can't avoid it anymore, i have to ask it out loud, ask myself.

what. is. wrong. with. me?

of course laying it out in the open doesn't change the fact that much like before, i still have no answers.

my vote goes to mike villar!

ok so i haven't been posting entries lately but something really important has compelled me to do so.. the philippine blog awards!

out of all the nominees, only one name stood out: mike villar. now i don't know him personally, but i have been an avid reader of his blog since god knows when. reason: the guy is so goddamn funny without being tacky or idiotic. the way he weaves tales of his everyday life leaves me guffawing out loud every time. he's articulate, witty, smart and.. what's that? i don't have to elaborate? i can just post a short entry saying i vote for him and be done with it?

fuck.

i vote for mike. that is all.

of course somebody has to pay for this event so..

it's a relief when you have nowhere to run."
