✨ My Working Process ✨

Yes, I am back! and with another video, even I'm surprised.

Finally did a "passion" artwork and managed to somehow record the process.

Plantdemic

The title of my artwork is Plantdemic.

It's an artwork inspired by the recent uproar of Plantitos and Plantitas on net.

I thought it would be relatable to my peers.

I am really surprised that I've recreated a new artwork in this new style I'm exploring

and managed to animate it.

Hope this is the start of a new me and I am hoping to make more of this.

✨Cheers to more artworks!✨

Death and Quarantine Times

Ever since my last post, a lot has changed.

After months of chemotherapy, my father died last March a week before the start of our worldwide quarantine. I already planned my 3rd animation video script which supposed to be titled "Emergency Fund" how timely but I haven't started doing anything about it. In fact, I haven't felt doing anything lately. My online job just decreased which means less income. Luckily, Paul's work needed a freelance animator so, that takes care of my income problem. And I happened to snatch a "big project" last August which balances the loss on our home renovation that also happened last August. 

Now entering our 7th month of quarantine, Things are not coming back to the way they were before the virus. I am so grateful that Paul hasn't lost his job in spite of the economical depression we are experiencing right now. I'm still a freelancer, Thank God! I cannot express that enough. We are pretty much still the same but I'm still not happy. Of course, that whole inside my heart will never be filled again but I am trying to move on that's why I am writing again here at my blog. I'm treating this as if it was my old blog from the olden days (livejournal if you ever heard of that site). Just sharing my feelings, that's what I miss about having a blog. Reading journals from people I don't personally know but somehow I feel connected to them. Unlike nowadays, People are just doing blog to endorse, review a certain product. Vlogging is somehow good but it's filtered and edited in a commercial way. Maybe I'm just old school but one thing is for sure I do love reading more than watching people's life.

So for my project to "get back on that horse again". I would journal my quarantine journey thru blogging. I promise myself to do more ART as in drawing because I did buy myself a pen tablet so I can draw on my laptop. Well, I did draw this beautiful portrait of this couple who will be married this October, it's a commissioned artwork (yes, road to be an illustrator?) so pen tablet well served. My first time doing something like this. 

Ever since I became a corporate artist (which I call myself) I think I have lost my signature style. Hoping to find my inner artistry these coming days. I just want to take things slow. Life is so fragile, I am not in a hurry, and as cliche, as it would sound, It's ok not to be ok in these trying times just don't get lost and as for help if you need one.

Ano ba yung tinatawag na SINKING BUDGET?

Ano ba yung tinatawag na SINKING BUDGET?

Eto yung BUDGET mo na specific lang sa isang bagay o scenario.

Ideal ito sa mga taong di naman ganun kalaki ang kanilang savings o yung mga tao

na ayaw galawin ang kanilang LIFE SAVINGS.

Ang idea ay makapagtabi ng pera at gamitin ito nang di kailangan galawin ang LIFE SAVINGS mo.

Pwede ka gumawa ng kahit ilang SINKING BUDGET basta ang importante

hindi lang ito ang pinaglalaanan mo ng pera.

"Ito ang BACK-UP nang PLAN B mo"

Kung nalilito ka parin meron akong example ng scenario

sa video, pwede mo yun panuodin.

OR

Mag-iwan ka ng comment dito sa BLOG ko

or sa aking YouTube Channel.

SYSTEMA sa pag BUDGET, meron ka ba?

Unang tagalog na blog ko ito.

Meron lang akong mga experimental videos sa buong 2020.

Gusto ko lang i-explore yung "Life Coaching" videos sa YouTube.

Actually, mahilig ako maki-alam sa budget planning ng mga kaibigan ko,

lalo na pag nakikita ko na sobrang wala silang disiplina sa pag-gastos.

Gustong-gusto ko gumawa ng budget or nang systema kung papano makapagsave

o gumastos ng naayon sa meron ka.

Pero ano ba yung pinaglalaban ko?

Ano bang napatunayan ko sa pag-iipon at pagbubudget?

This year, ay masasabi ko ng DEBT FREE na ako.

Tapos na namin bayaran ang kotse namin.

May bahay na rin kami, 6 years ago noong napatayo namin to.

Nakapag-patapos din ako ng kapatid sa College.

Kaya masasabi ko na nalampasan ko na yung mga matitinding gastos sa buhay ko

kaya medyo may karapatan na ako magbigay ng advice about money.

Di naman ako mayaman pero meron na ako ng lahat ng mga bagay

na ang ibang ka-edad ko ay pinag-iipunan palang o binabayaran palang.

Pangarap ko talaga makapag-retire ng 35 years old. Oo, 35 years old.

Ngayon 33 na ako pero masasabi ko na noong 32 palang ako

eh semi-retired na ang feeling ko. Pano ko nasabi? (Next Blog nalang)

Madami pa akong kailangan pag-ipunan, Kaya gusto ko lang i-share

ang journey ko sa pag-iipon.

2020 na nga ba ang year na mamonetize ang YouTube Channel ko?

Abangan!

My 2020 Vision Board

🎇🎆It's 2020! 🎆🎇

New Year. 

For some people it's a chance to hit that reset button and have that fresh start again.

I'm not like one of those who set their new years resolution just because it's the new year.

I am more of a VISIONARY. As cheesy as it may sound, I set goals and write it on my journal.

But I don't just write them in the beginning of the year. Sometimes I write weekly or monthly.

Setting those "GOALS" makes me feel that I am on track that I have a purpose to live.

And like what I have mentioned, I usually write it on my journal, only for me to see.

This year, I am trying something new. I tried making a VISION BOARD.

Rather than just jotting down my dream or wish list, I made a digital collage.

But not to be confused with my goals, this vision board that I made is more on the 

dreams or wishes that I would love to have or do this year. Somewhat related.

I don't think I would elaborate my vision board, It's pretty much straight-forward.

I would love to influence you (the one reading this) to also do a vision board of your own.

Whatever day or year you might be reading this,

I would like you to try this exercise. Something to boost your moral.

Me and my husband believe in the LAW OF ATTRACTION.

And believe me, it has worked for us.

If you don't want to do a collage, You can just write it down.

The main key is to visualise your dreams and goals.

I'll try to make another blog about my Law of Attraction Experience.

But I would love to leave you a quote from Disney's Cinderella song:

"No matter how your heart is grieving

If you keep on believing

The dream that you wish will come true"
