Ms. Crooked-Nose

Today in Bio class, we dissected a pig's heart! I never knew it was so cool; I felt like a doctor. It even made me WANT to be a doctor for a minute but then I realized my patient's family wouldn't be too happy to find out that I played with their relative's heart. Literally. 

Anyway, here's an old drawing of mine. Say hello to ms. crooked-nose!

Last Thursday, our Biology student teacher who has a lovely creative streak told us to draw the human heart! He also demanded that it should be colored. I've always wanted to draw the heart but looking at the pictures made it seem too complex for me. But then last night I had the sudden urge to finish all of my school works heehee so I did it!

Unlabeled heart hehe

Probably the best homework ever!

I've been working on a series of paintings lately. It all started with an accident actually. It was my first time to use the pocket watercolor thing that my mum and pops gave me for my birthday and I got a bit pressured since I'm a wee bit of a perfectionist, so what I did was, I basically made the whole page of paper wet and then I lightly dabbed on the paintbrush with different colors. When it started to look awful with all the brown splotches because of the mixing, I tried to salvage it with adding more colors yay! Haha in the end, it came out looking quite psychedelically. It was nice but I found it a bit boring so I drew a face on the paper heehee. I hope I can make more!

Chloe, Nath and I decided to join this contest called Arteskwela Ekomersyal. Basically, in order to join the contest, you'd have to make a 1 minute long commercial about the environment that would touch the hearts and minds of the viewers.

2011

2012. The rumored final year of our existence here on Earth. But before all the doom and gloom, here's what happened during the last months of 2011, which, I can say is the pure opposite!

November 18, 2011 we had our long awaited batch party wee. I got to perform with the band 'Take You Down' and everyone was having such a good time. It didn't matter that I had 2 left feet, with all my awkward flailing and jumping around, I think the fact that I can't dance is what made it more fun!

l-r. Nath, me, Ian!

l-r. Chloe, Quinn, me and Nath! Wee (oreo) cheesecake!

December 16, 2011 was my birthday! Coincidentally, it was also the last day of school and the Christmas party!

I didn't have decent pictures during our Christmas party so here, another picture of cheesecake! Wee. Hi Chloe thanks for the picture hehehohohehe

After the Christmas party, my friends and I went to Beth's house which was just across the street from our school, to celebrate Gabby's birthday in advance. We opened a couple of our gifts there and I almost peed from the excitement. I got some pretty neat stuff like a couple of sweet animal-printed erasers from Gail, a bottle of Strawberry syrup from Lanselle, a watercolor paint set from Nath, a lovely lovely lovely blue floppy hat from Chloe, tons of cool and sweet stuff from Casey and a bunch more that made my 15th birthday happier.

After a quick nap in Beth's super comfy bed, I got a call from Jhis as well as a bunch of texts. Long story short, she and Kigia braved the Manila streets, went to my school and planned a surprise visit for me! It was hands down the most amazing thing that happened to me. 

Lastly, my family + kuya Luigio went to Hooters to eat dinner. There, I got the Hooters' birthday treat thingy. Heehee it was so fun. A bit embarrassing though.

December 19-25, 2011, my relatives stayed in our house and celebrated Christmas with us! So many things happened during their stay and all I can say is that Christmas 2011 is by far the BEST.

After 23789649837264594 years, we finally bought a new camera! Wee. We got fat fat fat fat fat because of all the baking that my mum did. We went to malls because the house we live in now is super duper near 2 malls. We watched movies. We played lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of card games!

Christmas Eve

This was our midnight snack wee. I guess gift opening gives you quite an appetite

December 31, 2011, we spent New Year's Eve at Eastwood where they held the first countdown in the Philippines. Star dropping and all that jazz. It was such a fun experience. They had various metallic athletes/macho people everywhere, people in stilts, lots of lights, a gigantic Christmas tree and a free concert!

Metallic warriors!

Blessing/Curse

I find drawing portraits very relaxing and compared to still life, landscape and seascape, portraiture is the best for me. I like working on the details of the eyes and the hair especially but I really, really, really, really, really suck at proportions. Seriously, I'd draw famous people or just random gorgeous people from weheartit or tumblr and my drawings wouldn't look like them! It's so frustrating but at the same time, I get to create new characters which I'd consider as the bright side of my problem.

Hehehehehe I tried to draw Iwan Rheon (I used a screenshot from Misfits as a guide) and ended up with this tarsier-looking guy. I named him sausageman since I could imagine him as a sausage seller with his slicked back hair and his creepy/oily persona.

Actually, this one was supposed to be a guy haha but while I was working on it, I noticed that it was very feminine so halfway through the drawing, I changed my mind and turned it into a girl....and in the end, it turned into a sunflower.

It's been a while since I last posted hehe. School work + choir practices have been turning me into a zombie these past few weeks so I think this painting that I worked on last night is quite fitting haha.

Thor's Day

I got transferred to the drafting class I was talking about! Anyway, I didn't mean to do it but this drawing ended up looking like a Hunger Games fanart for Katniss/Gale haha. 

Yesterday was such a mess! Classes got suspended at around 3 and after a while, we found out choir practice was still on. At around 5pm, my dad finally picked me up from school and told me we'd have to let the rain subside before we try to pick up my mum in Makati. He brought some slippers and this bubble wrap thingy for my huge sketchpad for drafting which we stuck underneath his shirt and jacket to keep it dry haha. 

After crossing the street to get to his office, my feet and skirt were drenched! My feet felt weird so when we got to the 4th floor where my dad's office was located, I went and washed my feet. Wee. I did some of my drafting homework, sketched a bit and read a book while sitting on the counter in the girls' bathroom. We only left the office to fetch my mum at around half-past 10 in the evening. I don't really remember what happened after we got in the car because I was so tired and sleepy, I faintly recall that I was so cranky when they woke me up when we finally got home. But I do remember that I there was someone in the bathroom and I kept telling myself that I'll just take a nap on the floor while waiting for my turn to shower. 

I never did shower. I know, it was gross. I slept on the floor to avoid getting my dirty clothes on my bed but I must have caved in during the night, got up, dressed in clean clothes and collapsed in bed.
