Illegal Whaling in Japan

Please take the time to watch this.

We could all do our part to stop this by sending an email to the Japanese government. Log on here, to do so.

Kahel, the wood-nymph.

I’ve been working on the costume for a friend’s pet doll for the last 6 months. I work on it only when I have the chance to so it took that long. Its finally finished! Happiness!

Details of the costume.

The wings.

I found another love chip. This is the 19th of the lot.

I started finding them right around the time my prince and I met. He was just a friend then.

I made some Butterscoth Brownies, this weekend.

A task accomplished, finding a symbolic manifestation of love, butterscotch brownies. Mph! Life’s good!

Happiness, ever!

Self-P Chairs

This was a self-portrait installation piece that I made 3 years ago for a group show at the CCP (Cultural Center of the Philippines). The table wasn’t big enough to assemble the whole piece.

Each chair is representative of the different roles I fulfill in life…

Artist

Teacher

Family member & friend

Spiritual being

I’m due for another chair. That of lover.

Happiness!

Mr. Grasshopper’s here!

He just arrived this week. A gift from my sweet prince.

Here he is out of the box! What a poser, eh?

Some Filipino snack food…

Camote fries with garlic & sea salt.

Sweet camote fries.

Hopia. Sweet mung bean paste wrapped in flaky crust.

Love Chip No.16

Glorious rain! After enduring weeks of debilitating heat and humidity (mostly 91 degrees), I was ecstatic to welcome rain.

Happiness!

Revisiting my past

I recently went back to the house I grew up in and found these old works.

A very old self-p from 1993

Sunset at Mt. Makulot

View of mountains from the Seminary of Transfiguration, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines.

The last three days of April

My hair grows like grass, owing to the fact that I’ve been taking 4 showers a day due to the unbearable heat and humidity (90’s) here. So I had to get another hair cut after only three weeks.

The heat’s been very exhausting. I really believe its worse this summer than it was last year. I’m house bound due to it. This week, however, its been raining so the heat’s not so debilitating.

Found two more early this week.

Love chips numbers, 14 & 15.

My dinner…

Sweet and Spicy Mushroom saute’

Some old self-Ps from college.

I’m off to another shower and then to bed.

Happiness!

Birthday Cake

I love my birthday cake. A good friend gave it to me this afternoon. Its an Estrel Lemon chiffon cake with creamy butter filling and icing. Melt in your mouth goodness that’s not too sweet. Heaven! Thanks, Dette!

See?

Happiness!
