weird

“Everybody’s born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I’d really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can’t seem to do it. They just don’t get it. Of course, the problem could be that I’m not explaining it very well, but I think it’s because they’re not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they’re not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things.”

wall painting!

This is my latest wall painting i did last week for a Chinese restaurant! its quite an achievement as the owner of the restaurant is someone whom i dont know, if u know me, i'm afraid of strangers hahaha. my mom even ask me to think twice to go as the restaurant was located somewhere i'm not familiar with. 

but hey, i should start somewhere rite? i cant just stay in my comfort zone. so i went for it anyway. its actually something when u meet someone who actually appreciated your artwork. i met her one that day, and she is nice hahah.  

The owner want something simple yet attractive and she want a tree! haha. so i came up a garden-y concept for her with bright colors to make the place homey too. i pull my horses as i might turn it into a kindergarten haahah. 

this is some small little things i painted . they focus more on chicken dishes; that explain the little chickens running around. 

my favorite part will be the wishing tree.. customers can stick comments, wishes or even photograph on the tree! which means as times goes by. the tree will grow more leaves! 

this was a great and fun experience! i was honored and very grateful to have this opportunity. hope there's more walls for me to conquer haahahahah

Happy Wesak day

"All things appear and disappear 

because of the concurrence of causes and conditions. 

Nothing ever exists entirely alone; 

everything is in relation to everything else."

life

"Life is weird. It will give days when it takes you two days to get out of bed. It will replace your shadow with the ghosts of who you use to be, and they will follow you around, whispering the past into your ear. It might even throw in a dark cloud on a sunny day that will turn everything upside, just for good measure. Sometimes, it will lead you down the wrong path that will require you to trek through storms to get back to the right one. It will abandon you with your thoughts that tell you that the monster doesn’t live under the bed, instead, it lives in the mirror. 

Life will blow soft winds through your hair and give you a chance to hear the leaves rustle. Life will give you great friends, loving family; or even a car, some good company and a long road, it will scatter the stars across the dark, blue sky and give you something to believe in. It will also give you books and music, words written by strangers so that you know that you’re never truly alone. Every day it will give you a different sunrise and a different sunset, and a chance for you to witness the beauty of it all. Life will give you experience, a lot of it, and you will learn and grow and bloom. It will give you a hundred reasons to go, but a thousand reasons to live.”
