I told ya, this box is going to be an inspiration for many drawings to come, and it sure has. Over three weekends, I worked on these two pieces. The one on the left took two attempts, two weekends. On its own, it looked fine. After adding the second one, both looks like leaning…

Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me #3
TGIF! Okay, so we’re back to experimenting with the rainbow pencils. I never said I’m making art. Just random things. Also, my 18-months-old nephew bullied his way in. I guess he got the memo that “we’re making random strokes on paper.” I think he can grow up to be an artist specializing in abstract art…
Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me #2
TGIF! After posting Friday Frenzies | Drawing and Me, I knew I have more to say on this subject and I would be coming back. So here I am, two weeks later. Let’s first talk about the supplies I purchased. DOMS Colour Pencils Set of 24 Yes, I bought two, one for myself and one for…
Thursday Thrills | A Month of Home-made Room AC

Random Rambling | Amazon Categories

I was innocently browsing through Amazon’s Short Stories category the other day — not for research, not for literary enlightenment, but for something far more noble. I was trying to bulk-up my Goodreads 2026 Reading Challenge. (P.S I’ve planned to read 30 books this year. I…
Friday Frenzies | First of 2026
TGIF! Frenzy is absolutely justified, right? It’s Friday, the last working day. I have the weekend, followed by two days PTO. I’m super stoked. This week was crazy. Even though many team members were on vacation, my life wasn’t easy as I was supposed to finish an epic. With age, I’m becoming more forgetful about…
