My roommate gave me a WHOLE box of jaffa cakes from her trip to Europe. This excites me somehow.

L-R: my morning exercise last week referenced from Andrew Loomis’ Head and Hands book; WIP of that previous bedroom painting; another bedroom painting based on my sketch, I’m working on it right now.

Follow me on Hipstagram where I post pics of sketches, painting and silly stuff.

I just bought this silly-looking hat. It’s probably a fisherman’s hat but I think it looks sort of like a top hat. Either way: Giant hat, activate!

In other news, I now live my weekdays at a bedspace in the district where I work.

Me and Allen at the Myth of the Human Body exhibit this afternoon.

The exhibit had fascinating displays of plastinated human bodies. Some are sliced up in more ways than you can think of slicing a person.

Rini, Meggy and I at Tara McPherson’s exhibit last last week :>

day 361: History should have lectured me about my bad experience with food left overnight. Pizza from lunch the other day ruined my travel to Boracay. First thing I did when I got on the plane: puke before the engines started the 1 hour flight. First thing I did when I got off: puke again.

The plane trip was only the second leg of the travel. There was a bus to the docks for an hour and a half. I could only stomach half a donut for lunch. I was mostly weak for the next ferry ride (I have never gotten seasick) and shuttle. The rest of the day was dedicated to sleep.

Good thing my family was travelling with a doctor (my mom), a licensed nurse (my aunt) and a med student with a nursing license (my brother). The art graduate happens to be their patient.

day 358: left to right: My brother, cousin 1, Terminator-eyed cousin and me at Resort World Manila.

They left for the US 6 years ago and it felt like a big part of my childhood went away. It means a lot to me that my cousins and 3 of my aunts are here this Christmas. Big family reunion going on this Christmas Eve.

day 355: Got this from the Christmas party at work. My officemates know I like My Little Pony XD

day 353: dunno if it’s noticeable but I had my hair dyed a light auburn.

When I had played Fallout 3 afterwards, I killed all the ghouls bothering Tenpenny Tower. Then ALL the Tenpenny residents rejoiced by going back to focusing on things like what color should they dye their hair. Fabulous.

Anyway, enjoy/repulse at my face.

day 346: Coraline is silently judging my new haircut

day 337: Christmas lights at the city park

day 309: I went back to Post Manila to accompany these goons into applying for internship there.

This is the office of Post Manila. A local post production studio who will be expanding their creative team to produce digital media (graphic designs, storyboards, websites etc). And I have the honor to be hired in to this expansion. Yay for job where I get asked for creative input! 

If I did get that My Little Pony animator job before, I’d be animating ponies right now and could have missed this opportunity. Yay for answering a different calling? Now I can continue watching MLP without looking upset at it as the job that could have been.

I start at Post Manila next next week so I have time to help a couple of animation students with their theses. (Looking at you, Rini).
