Proud Momma

I am back with a real-time blog post! I just felt something so special hence I opted to publish this article first amidst the backlogs. :) So earlier today I went to bring Marise to school. It's her first day attending KINDER 1 in a progressive school and I am so glad to know that Marise has no separation anxiety anymore. And because all the mommies of her Marise's classmates are older than me, I'd like to dress-up in a toned-down way but still fashionable for my liking. Thank God for jeans and peplum tops, they go well together! Notice the choker necklace? I recently made it and hopeful we'll be able to launch them anytime soon!

Below are some snapshots earlier at Marise's first day in school!

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH Marise! :) I was actually teary-eyed while taking these photos! You'll know the feeling once you've become a mother. :) One proud momma here! 

How It Is To Be a Writer and a Crafter?

I tell you it's a bit tricky I'll tell you why later on. Well I can also say, it's easy, since I love both ( crafting and writing) but being a creative person/artist, doing a creative job that entails you to squeeze out creative juices, may bring you to a one roller coaster ride. 

The next day you'll wake-up feeling hopeful and inspired to do a lot of things. The feeling of excitement would trick you which of the tasks you like to do first. Whenever I am in this phase, I tend to sleep 4 hours a day. Tila nakainom ako ng energy drink na isang drum. I can work non-stop without standing on my work table. I just want to finish everything on my check list!

The next day you'll wake-up feeling blank. As in totally blank and you hardly even know where on earth you'll find some brain to begin with. This tricks me a lot on how to motivate myself and let-out those tamad vibes in me. Ang hirap! Swear! 

I feel like my brain has its own brain. If in times I feel blank, I just have to relax my mind. Turn my computer off, turn on my ipad and play Candy Crush. Eat what I want. Sing if needed. Watch HBO or Star Movies. Anything and everything under the sun just to let those inspiration, motivation, and excitement feeling to come within me. Even if it takes me almost one whole day to spark everything! Once I am there I know I can do almost anything. kahit time pressured pa, nuks! :)

Whenever I feel stressed and depressed, I need my family to pat my back. They can catapult me to a better feeling when times I feel low. Minsan pagbad mood ako, di ako magtatrabaho, buti nalang mabait boss ko in my writing day job. I handle my own time so I am not pressured at all. 

When you are writer, you can not just sit down and write. You need a heart and a working mind to compose an article. When you are a crafter, you need a mind that wanders, a heart that's hopeful, and a pair of hands to weave all the plans you have in mind. In short, maarte ako haha! But seriously, creative people/artists get inspiration mostly form themselves. From what they feel and the experiences they're in. Artists work not by their minds alone, but with their entire personality. Kaya di ako umubra sa office job ko before eh. haha!

at dahil inspired ako today, I was able to edit a sneak peek album of items coming this weekend at Simone's Closet's booth at the Grand bazaar this JUNE15-16!!!

VIEW THE ENTIRE SNEAK PEEK ALBUM HERE!

Anybody who can relate to me? haha! :) Now you know how it is to be a weird writer and crafter in one! :)

Detour

If given a chance to share my life to the world or simply to those who are hopeless like I was before, I would definitely grab the chance. In the future, I'd like to write a book of my life. How I exactly remembered it- the detours, the mess, and  the beauty of it. I've had so much already and everyday is a chance to glance on them for me to move forward.

Bayong Bag

I was born to dress-up. To wear fashionable clothes, declare my own style. One of which I can't live without in my fashion style are bags. And I have to admit I am pretty obsessed with big sturdy bags and I collect them actually. This made me think to share them to you here. haha! Moving on, the collection grew bigger but it only started when I was during my high school days. Unluckily, I gave the bags, all of them to different people (whom I unfortunately can't remember anymore) after we transferred different homes on that time. Now that I have a pretty valid reason to spend collect bags (well I earn my own money now and need not to bug my parents to buy me monthly hahaha) I continue collecting again. The latest bag I purchased is this summer-y bayong bag I got in a random tiangge. I love that it's bayong but made more sosy by wrapping around printed fabric and putting handles, and clasps! It's so huge my camera, and all my stuffs can fit into it! 

Hippie Mosaic

Hey guys! I am back from my weekend hiatus! And I'd like to share with you a hippie outfit I wore weeks ago. I love the mosaic print on dress and the way the dress hugs my body. I look a bit thin isn't it? haha!
