'Aileen' is a twenty-year-old blogger from the Philippines who is happily single and living life at its best.

She was born and raised in Batanes but currently living in the bustling city of Manila where she is a superwoman corporate woman by day, a blogger and homebody by night, and a party animal come weekends.

She likes lazying around, traveling, eating different cuisines, writing nonsense as well as those with sense, being weird, laughing ridiculously, city lights, partying out late, blah blah blah.

She is interested in fashion, music, arts, desserts, internet, dancing, sleeping, and singing. And oh, she misses Batanes with a passion. ★

The original sketch/doodle that I made for this graphic art: [ click ] She looks a bit mad here so I had to make a gentler one with Photoshop. LOL.

Doodle + Photoshop Effects #1Obviously, I can’t find the will to sleep tonight. So for the past two hours, I’ve been messing around with Photoshop and here’s what I’ve come up with—inspired by some photo that I remember seeing here in Tumlr. So… It’s crappy but I’m proud of it, seeing how it has been a year since I last brushed up on my artistry (if ever such still exists in me. LOL)

Watercolor painting on paper

“Anima” is defined as the inner personality; the soul; life. It is the source of the female personality while Animus is the source of the male.

So anyway. Due to the rainy and cold weather that we have here today in Manila, I decided to do something productive while I’m cozied up inside my room. Good thing I was a bit inspired that’s why I now came up with that! (*cheers!*) Actually, I initially planned on painting something dark and mysterious because that’s what I feel right now. But as I held on to the brush, I found myself painting in the shades of blue, red, and yellow.

That’s how my spirit and my life is right now, I guess.
I still am terribly lost and afraid (blue) but still aimlessly hopeful for love and comfort (red) and a brighter oasis (yellow) as soon as I muster enough courage to open up my eyes to the world.

LOL. Now I’ve done it. I usually don’t put in my own concept explanation for whatever artwork that I do to keep people wondering, but I just felt like saying it. Besides, that’s only the general thought. Kaaay? 

ANYHOW! I feel so good to have been able to touch my artistic side again for after… four or more years? Aaaaah. Sometimes, I really think I should have taken an art course so that I can improve my ‘creative’ side because it’s more ‘present’ than my rational/analytic brain. Oh well. :)

*I apologize for the low quality camera. I’ve only used my crappy phone. And yes, I know I’m not a pro. My painting is not that polished, clean, or shit but I don’t care. This is my art and I do it the way I want it. LOL. Why am I explaining this shit? :))

I liked watching him draw. HAHA! Yep, that’s supposed to be me. LOL. He was actually drawing designs for his tattoo and he let me watch, but he got tired so he decided to goof around! :)) We proceeded drawing pictures of him and me and made up stupid scenarios and all! It was fun! :>

Reblogging this comic that I’ve drawn in Photoshop last year… ‘Cause it applied to me so much when mom was asking ZILLIONS of questions a while ago . Rawr.

SCRIBBLE #2 *It was fun scribbling this one on Illustrator. I wanted to really copy Cha’s hair :)) Watched One More Chance. HAHAHAHA! FINALLY! Okay, I’m not really a fan of pinoy movies—much more for the sappy romance flicks. But I thought of giving this a try especially since Celine was urging me to! HAHAHA. And guess what? Despite all the cheesiness and stuff, it made me cry. Boo-hoo. :)) Well not because of the scenes—though some were really okay—but I cried because I suddenly imagined myself and Cha breaking up…. and it was just too sad! S-A-D for me to handle! :)) So there. Cry baby in the making. And oh yeah, it was especially at the time where Basha got in the car and saw the new girlfriend. Ho-ho-ho! Ayan kasi, nakipag-break… Jk :)) Thereafter, I suddenly thought of that line above after the crying siesta ended. Hehe. ‘Cause you see, I was his best friend before and I’ve witnessed a few of his love stories unfolding (but then eventually failed, yay! HAHA ang mean!) and I don’t want to be in that position again, ever :)
