Cynthia, inside.

A lot goes on but nothing happens.

Okay, that’s not entirely true1 — a lot has happened since my last update. I’ve quite forgotten how to write blog posts so allow me to do it in bullets. * My husband Arnold Arre is Powerbooks’ Author of the Month for February! Arn has a book signing at Powerbooks Trinoma this Saturday, February 28 from [...]

You made me like it more and more

(Thanks to DidipusRex for the beautiful photo!) We had the exhibit opening for Frailty – the all-female exhibit I posted about before – last weekend. Some pics below, … and there are *tons* more via these links: one two three four five six seven If you were there, in behalf of the 33 chickas young and old, thanks [...]

Hooray hooray, I’m your silver lining

Finally — a cleaner, fresher, more “grown-up” look1. And best of all, look at all that space! I got so used to my last layout’s narrow posting area that I can’t get over how roomy this is. But what exactly happened, you ask? Weeeell, I neglected this blog for too long that spam [...]

Gothic flavor, how I miss you.

UPDATE (Aug.26, 2008) Overhaul in progress. Please pardon the mess. Sorry for the silence. As you may have noticed, something went wrong with my blog’s wordpress installation and I haven’t had time to look into it — I’m actually afraid that an overhaul might be necessary *shudders*. . I did make you a playlist to listen to while [...]

They’re watching you watching you watching you watching you

(We interrupt this blogging silence with a short plug for my hubby’s latest comic effort) Meet Iris Able, the smartest kid in MacGuffin Plains. She has an encyclopedic knowledge about science, technology and math that it seems she has the entire internet in her head. But because she keeps to herself a lot, the other kids [...]

It can be something to do on a bright afternoon

I was on a roll so I just *had to* make a few more: . “Summer’s Child”; “Preppy in Pink” . “Scooter Sister”; “Lazy Daisy” . “Easy Breezy”; “Pup Princess” . They’re already at my Cafepress and Printfection stores and it would mean a lot to me if you could help spread the word about them. . On Cafepress at The Paper Basket . On Printfection. [...]

And I feel so free, yeah I feel alright.

Last week when I was organizing my workspace, I found some of my raggedy old sketchbooks1 and suddenly got a burst of inspiration to pick up a pencil and draw for no specific reason — not for a job requirement and not for anything other than fun. I’ve been trained2 to sit in front of [...]

They’re just paper cuts, I’ll sellotape them up.

Because I have a new efficient workspace, I thought of giving my nearly two-year-old yet never-been-used Print Gocco a whirl today. . Finally! It’s been sitting inside that box for too long. These pics were taken in October 2006. . I bought my Print Gocco PG-5 at the Shibuya Tokyu Hands in 2006 for an amazing 6825yen (or US$63.60)1 [...]

In this room, in this room of mine.

I’ve been wanting to do a home office makeover1 for the longest time, and it was last month’s termite invasion that pushed me to finally do it. I’ll tell you why later. . First, let me show you what the soho used to look like.2: . Ugh, is that a mess or what. Believe it or not, we worked [...]
