A day at the Art Fair Philippines 2020
This year is Art Fair Philippines’ 8th birthday and it didn’t disappoint all the art lovers and enthusiasts who participated the event including myself! I’m wondering if what I hear is true, that this year’s fair was the most interactive and interesting by far. To be honest, this is my first time attending the fair, and it’s now one of the “sayang” moments when I decided to skip the past seven years of it. Art Fair Philippines is held at The Link in Makati, showcasing arts from different culture in every piece of each exhibition. Each piece has it’s own unique way on expressing emotions and interpreting thoughts. So interesting!…

Twee: VVG and the Sunflowers
Hello, guys! Welcome to my second appreciation post for my love, Vincent. And by committing to myself to sun a series of body paintings and blog posts dedicated to VVG, I am really learning a lot more about him and his work. And today we are talking about the most famous Sunflowers and some “facts” based on studies and articles I’ve collected from online. Related post: Een: VVG and the Almond Blossom Did you know that the Sunflowers is not just one painting but a series of beautiful masterpieces created between years of 1887 to 1889? And this series has two parts: Paris and Arles. Those facts officially made Sunflowers the most interesting work of…

Een: VVG and the Almond Blossom
I’ve been a self-taught, self-proclaimed artist ever since I was a child. I remember I was always excited as my sister brought home new prints and books for me to color. Disney characters, mandalas, random animals, whatever. Sometimes, I doodled and pretend it was an emotional abstract full of meaning and feelings. I knew Van Gogh by one of his most famous works, the Starry Night. Only I cannot remember exactly how I knew him (maybe when I was already in high school, as that was the time internet boomed). As I Googled more of his works, I also became familiar with Sunflowers and Scream. But what I loved most…

Fall in love with local art and artists as showcased by #ILOMOCA
I love all kinds of art. And one of my got-to places when visisting different cities or towns are museums. Manila is home to many classic and modern museums, and honestly, I haven’t talked or written about them yet. I thought sharing of teh usual places is kind of overrated, but apparently, it may be usual to people in Manila, but not to people from different places. I discovered ILOMOCA during my week-long vacay in B.I.G.G. Since I was there on the holidays (which also is a weekend), I haven’t seen the inside of teh museum as they were closed for public viewing on the days I was free to…

How are my Paperang photos now? + thermal papers dos and donts
I honestly couldn’t believe that my first post about Paperang already reached thousands of unique viewers (and still counting!), to think that I didn’t promote it too much or whatsoever. I earned almost all of the views from Google search, and thank God I am reaching you guys with no SEO upgrade. Lol Well, here’s another update from my previous post, and also one of the frequently-asked questions about the pocket thermal printer: do Paperang print-outs last? Questions from readers: Do Paperang print-outs last? For how long? I used to print images and quotes and memos with my Paperang printer. And one thing for sure, thermal printers – in general,…
