Letters to Manila Vol.01

It's fascinating how a piece of card stock, travels from places to places, crossing borders, oceans, and continents. Communicating with people from all walks of life, sharing pieces of themselves. Just glimpses into each other's souls. It all seems poetic.

These are postcards I received, September 2015.














and ones I have sent... many found their way to the new owners and some got lost along the way. I hope someone out there still found them somehow. Please keep them as they were once part of me. Stories I wrote to share, please keep them forever.

My art collection #1

The very first artwork I acquired was back on 2012, a watercolor painting by Valerie Chua. I love all her works but I knew this was the one I really wanted to own. It's simple and not so feminine. If you want to know the inspiration behind it - it's actually a girl Marimo ball. :)

Two years later. I went to Art in the Park 2014 last March and got these three. Not surprisingly all three are from Vinyl on Vinyl gallery. I'm slowly learning the type of paintings that really draws me in.
 
The photo from the top is a commissioned art "American Gothic" by Mayi. I had been admiring her works on instagram for quite a while and one day finally decided to message her. I'm glad she also does oil paintings. I saved up for 2 months! It was not expensive really ... well it was by my *salary* standards *lol* but it was all worth it!

Bottom on the right is a mixed media art by Jukus Sepada. Bottom on the left is an art by Jett Ilagan. I really should have bought both works by Jett ( T-T)~ but I had a budget. :/

And here is a recent piece I acquired. It's a mother and child ink art by Jose Alberto Reyes.

Things I Love: ceramic teapot

My new teapot! That I absolutely love. I got it on sale at Landmark while I was searching for dinnerware. It looks ordinary to some people but I like it~ the shape and beautiful white cover~ is perfect. *happy*





Also bought a pack of green tea to brew~

I don't usually drink tea or anything bitter. My coffee almost always has more sugar. So I'm finding ways to drink my tea more comfortably.

edit: Thea suggested using honey instead of sugar as it tastes better :)
