And So It Begins


     I remember when I was still in SSAM (St. Scholastica's Academy Marikina), we have informal and formal writing exercises as part of our curriculum requirements for Filipino and English subjects. I do enjoy these activities because I am able to freely express my thoughts and opinions on given topics. Looking back, I realized that I do love writing especially when I am in the mood or something (someone) inspired me. I even tried composing poems although not the 'Shakespearean' and 'poetic' type. Yet, there came a time that my priorities shifted and I became more active in other extra-curricular activities that is why my enthusiasm for writing dwindled.  

     Fortunately, because of my current work, I've been exposed again to a lot of writing. AND thanks to my workmate Trish, (who is a dedicated blogger), my passion flared once more. Thus, the Merry Munchkins Chronicles was born. Still in the process of building my dream blog site though, but I'm getting there.

     So hop aboard and join me and my little munchkin Steffy as we embark on our everyday (and not so everyday) adventures!

The Artist Reborn

Must be the gloomy monsoon rains (or the recent breakup) that refuelled the artist in me.  With this kind of extended vacation, there is not much I can do. Well, cuddling with the little munchkin is a given, of course. So instead of sulking, I decided to do the “drawing therapy” to channel all the pent up emotions. Surprisingly, it works wonders. I prefer drawing portraits or caricatures and for the longest time, I had been creating most of my artworks using pencil (regular or charcoal). And oh boy, how they lacked vibrancy! Thus, I tried oil pastels because I find blending colors fun but it turned out too sticky and messy for my liking. Colored markers did not work either coz it came short to the blending part. The same is true with colored pencils. So for an amateur like me who is used to pencils, what possibly could satisfy my hunger for more vivid artworks? Alas, epiphany! I remembered that Faber Castell has this watercolor pencil product line! I watched some Youtube ...

THE PROUD MOMMY MUNCHKIN POST #1

Disclaimer: This post is in Filipino… With beki language on the side. Hahahaha! :D My dear Steffy, marami man akong na-miss na mga "firsts" mo simula nung nagwork ako, proud pa rin ako na kung hindi man ako ang solong nagturo sa'yo, malaki rin ang parte ko sa mga sumusunod na milestones sa buhay mo: 1.    Kumanta - obviously, sa akin mo namana ang hilig mo sa pagkanta at pagiging nasa tono mo (thank goodness!). At ito, inaako kong ako ang solong nagturo sa'yo nito dahil nasa tyan pa lang kita, kinakantahan na kita ng mga birit songs, classical songs at senti songs. Hahahahaha! 2.   Tumalon - kahit lately ka lang natutong tumalon, ang importante, marunong ka na... kahit 2-3 inches lang ang iniaangat mo sa sobrang bigat mo... hahahaha! (special mention sa kutson na hinihigaan natin ni ninong Benjo  na kung hindi dahil dun, hindi mo magegets na ang tunay na talon, dapat umaangat mula sa sahig ang dalawang paa mo at hindi isang paa lang ang umaangat) 3....
