Friday’s 10 Happy Things, before the long awaited work marathon!

  1. Crossing off a bunch of tasks on my checklist. I’ll be gone for a few days next week, and I wish I realized it earlier. I could’ve started working last weekend. Well honestly, I tried.
  2. I’ve learned to quickly forgive myself for being unproductive, get over it, and move on. Hurrah!
  3. CRWN at Bowery and Black Market. “JUUUUHAAAFUUU” Also, ang sarap ng fishballs sa labas ng Black Market, kailangan lang ng minimum 30 pesos.
  4. Posting things online, not primetime. Try it, feels so powerful.
  5. Shared my Mommy Hacks set on Facebook at 1 am last night and I woke up to 86 likes. WHAT. I’ve been sharing my work a lot recently because it’s all I have, charot. People have been so nice and supportive! You can see it here. Tell me what you think!
  6. Design discussions! Read a bunch on Paulo Alcazaren’s Facebook. Can I be the Paulo Alcazaren of interior design? I just love how he brings people to discuss our country’s urban set-up, how he shows us the changes in our environment, and how he proposes solutions to existing problems (even if they’re 3-minute sketches!). Imagine if we all practice design thinking.
  7. Franki the cat was featured by Sunnies Studios on their instagram. Lol, proud momma moment. 
  8. Decor shopping with Sarah for Real Surf and Real Coast at Dapitan. Nakakapagod, very rewarding. I also love it when I get to work with friends because freelance work can be so lonely sometimes.
  9. Talking to my clients on the phone, because it’s so different when they text. “Ah, ‘di pala siya naiinip at disappointed, excited lang siya…”
  10. Stroopwafel crumbs, and a bunch of new food to try like Kangaroo Jerky. Wait, WHAT—

I’ve been posting my face a lot recently. Probably because: a) natural papampam, b) coping mechanism, c) I just love myself too much, d) working freelance = no people to talk to everyday, e) snapchat culture, or f) that longing to connect.

I deleted a bunch of photobooth selfies I posted on Twitter because I feel like it’s too much. Pero sa totoo lang, I like these selfies because they show how I really feel— or baka hindi rin, masarap lang ‘pag feeling maganda. O kapag maganda ang feeling.

Finally finished this thing after two years of neglecting it. Only used one brush and the textile paint I have here at home. Not so bad eh? At least it looks soft!

Finally finished this thing after two years of neglecting it. Only used one brush and the textile paint I have here at home. Not so bad eh? At least it looks soft!

Painting it felt great. I should paint more often, or create more things. Sometimes I wonder if I’m only as good as the output of my work. If my work defines me, ganun. ‘Wag naman sana?

Monday again. Hoping for a productive week! Well, I need it to be.
