A Weekend of Arts & Crafts at the Beach

by Leave a Comment

I've heard it said somewhere before that one of the most effective ways to fuel your passion is to share it. The small craft workshops I hosted at San Juan, La Union over the weekend definitely did that. I've been on an arts and crafts high ever since (If you could call it that :P)! It happened at Flotsam & Jetsam Artist Beach Hostel, a place so relaxing and inspiring, it's very conducive to creative work and activity. I, together with another artist, Nikki Valenzuela, who is a very talented painter, put together several art workshops open to anybody interested. I, in particular, Read More

Kayo, Summer and Emma have all been sick the last week. So this weekend we really just stayed home and allowed ourselves to get the rest our bodies demanded. I'm very thankful that, today, everybody is doing a lot better. Summer and Emma are their playful selves again and are slowly getting their appetite back. So instead of posting weekend snapshots, I decided to share glimpses into the Christmas season that was and share our happy moments from the last few weeks. Christmas Day Christmas morning was probably my favorite part of Christmas! It's when we all gather together as a family for Read More

I miss the glorious sea, the strong, salty breeze, and the tireless, raging waves.        This is the painting I made one early morning at the beach last weekend during our family vacation in La Union, which you can read about here. It's my futile attempt at capturing the beauty of the beach just outside the house where we stayed in. I finally put finishing touches on it.        Drawing and painting by the sea is such a relaxing activity. You experience an undeniable oneness with nature and an unspeakable serenity. At some point, it stops being about the painting and just becomes Read More

I'm so happy to be back blogging! The site was down for a few weeks so I haven't had the chance to write about the craft projects I've been working on as well as the fun stuff we've been doing as a family. However, I've been diligent in writing about the things I want to share with you so expect a flood of posts within the next few days! To start with, let me share the most recent: our family vacation to our little paradise up north, San Juan, La Union. We drove up there with Kayo's family for the long weekend, to celebrate his mom's birthday and also to visit his brother, Kiddo, who Read More

Weekend Snapshots #4: Beach Trip

by Leave a Comment

Went on a trip to San Juan, La Union last weekend with my family. I decided to put the photos my husband and I took from my phone and Nikon digicam into a collage. Of course it’s mostly baby photos! I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. Maybe I’ll even print this out and put it on my wall or something so I can keep the memory of the beach at home with me…or I’ll just keep going to the beach with my family, which we’ll most likely do!
