This is for the theme "hello from" for the group trade. This is a habit among Filipina women. Every siesta time(usually after lunch) they gathered at the stair steps to gossip or update each other for the village latest rumors or just airing their grievances/ problems to each other while taking out the gray hairs or lice (yiiikes!!!) from each others head. This "hard habit to break" still continues to this day even after the lice shampoo was invented. Well I guess, it takes away the fun and live news updates!

My friend Giggle flew to New York to work there last year. She was my partner in crime and we make it a point to see each other every Friday ( T.G.I.F. night) and we stroll around the Makati area shopping or just looking around. We ate in every restaurant and try different chicken dish since chicken is her favorite. She miss me so much and our time together, the laughter and tears we shared and of course the chicken! I drew this for her and when she received this, she called immediately crying her heart out! I told her not to come back yet because I am enjoying my break from eating chicken! Can't wait to see her back for a break though!!!

"Retrospect"

I drew this sketch trying to capture the beauty of my sister in a retrospecting mood. She is a jolly woman though!!! Love her so much!!!

First Black and Whites

Titled "Mallorca Windmills", I saw this one when I was watching Places to Visit Before you Die. Weird title for a tv travel guide show but its worth watching !!!

Code Name

Last March, My friend ask me to join this Club/Organization which she is a member. She said that this is an Airsoft Club. Without thinking, I said "Okay I will join" but what it is all about? I asked. She said that it is a recreational group playing rural and urban combat just like what soldiers do. We have to wear camouflage, full battle gears including face mask to protect the face from bullets. We have to buy our own gun also. I was in for a surprise when we went to this hobby shop to purchase guns, it looks like a real gun and heavy as a real gun but we have bb's (as they call it)for bullets, pellets weighing .20grams each. I was thinking if I could still run with this weight on my shoulders. I was so excited for my first battle and they asked me what my code name is and I have to think for a couple of days to think about it. Finally when I was staring at the sunset and felt calmness when it starts setting in, an idea of having the word "Calm" on my code name is what I want and since it is my personality too, and since its a battle I adopted "Chaos" as my second name. I was hit on my bum on the first game and the second game was my revenge to shoot some bums too!!! It was fun and very exhilarating but thinking back after a hard battle, I appreciate the courage of those soldiers who fight for their country and died for valor...I was inspired and enlightened!!! most of all...too hungry after the game and could eat a cow!!!
