For a while now I've been stalking a few artists' accounts on Instagram, mostly for their art-related posts but also partly because I have been vicariously living through them. They meet up for art dates, have the opportunity to sell their own art, and have the luxury of being able to visit Stickerrific in a relatively regular basis. Compared to me who lives in a city with literally only one tiny art supply shop in a hard-to-reach area, they're basically living the dream.
I lied. This blog entry has no pictures of food. It does, however, have a paper thin connection to the cookies I baked yesterday so I thought it should sort of count! And it's been a while since I posted a Sunday Sweet; it's nice to type that out again.
I had to send my laptop for repair so it was away for a lot longer than I would have preferred. Unfortunately it can't play HD videos anymore but I think I can deal with that. Sometimes sacrifices must be made.
For a long time I've been avoiding adult colouring books, mostly because they're pricey and partly because I feel like I should be working on my own drawings instead of colouring someone else's. But who am I kidding? I've always been a sucker for pretty things so it was only a matter of time before I got myself one.
On the 31st we had lunch at Fatboy's in Avenue K. The taste is nothing mind blowing, but their menu is quite interesting. You can customize your burger from the buns to the patty to anything else you'd like on your burger. If you're too lazy for that, they also have a list of unique burgers to choose from like one with bananas. They have intriguing drinks on the menu as well, although as much as I love bacon, I would never want to drink it.
I'm so glad I found out how to queue posts on Blogger. I probably shouldn't be revealing blogging secrets or whatever, but, hey, who's even reading my blog, right?
The beginning of 2016 was generally uneventful for me, but I did take enough photos for at least three blog entries. The real question now is when will I get around to actually editing all of those photos.
I have a confession that will surely wound the delicate Christian Filipino feelings of my family: I don't enjoy Christmas. It's been years since I last looked forward to it, perhaps even a decade since I last actually liked it. This realization came to me only relatively recently and I didn't have the courage to admit it until much later because I grew up in a culture that prides on its Christmas traditions. I might as well confess to committing a murder than not liking Christmas.
We're almost at the end of 2015 so 'tis the season for looking back to see how far you've come. Like every year since the day I was born I have not accomplished anything of significance this year either, but I figured I'd have nothing else interesting to write about otherwise so I thought it'd be fun to take a leaf out of those end-of-year art summary things. Even if I'll end up regretting this blog entry, that is. It's always rather embarrassing to look at old works, after all!
About
As someone who gets too emotionally invested in fictional characters, I also enjoy doing the art thing and pretending to be good at writing amateur fiction. It is unfortunate that I don't get paid to write stuff on this blog but I sure wish I did.
