Cover Preview

Lois has already finished sketching the cover for our wedding invitation. Here’s how it looks like: The venue will be at the Filipinas Heritage Library that’s why the background of the cover is set in a library. The floating books, the textures on the walls and windows, and the old trees in the library were Lois’ interpretation of a fantasy wedding set in an old library. The...

Wedding Invite Preview

I’m a huge comic fan with strong convincing powers. I was able to convince Koi to have a comic-themed invitation for our wedding next year. We talked to our good friend Lois and she happily agreed to create a comic-themed invitation for our wedding. It will have a wraparound cover and a tear-out RSVP card at the back. The rest of the pages will contain the wedding details, and of course, a...

Coaster

This is my fancy coaster. My previous French boss gave it to me when he got back from a meeting in Paris. Its design came from Alphonse Mucha’s beer advertising poster called “Bières de la Meuse” which was printed out during the 1890’s. The woman in the painting looks demure and her adorable curly hair is decorated with different beer ingredients. This coaster looks nice...

Vespa

This is our 3-year old green Vespa parked beside the dogs’ chew bones and some dusty old books. We used to display this bike when we were living in our old apartment but now it’s just part of the clutter piling up in the small room. This replica is too nice to be ignored so we’ll display it again together with our other collectibles when we finally get the time to clean up the...

Magic Word

Our dogs go nuts whenever they hear the magic words “treat” or “reward”. They would then run over to the refrigerator and patiently wait for us to bring out their cookies. The word “cookie” doesn’t mean anything for them but I think Bruno is now slowly starting to learn what it means. Here’s what happens when you say “cookie” with a...

Cabinets

There are too many cabinets in this apartment. Too many that there’s no more room to hang up picture frames and posters. There’s even one in the bedroom that is oddly placed. It blocks the door to the balcony and it’s so big, we can no longer fit a even a small TV in the bedroom. The one in the living room is my favorite. It’s where we keep our Playstation, grocery bags,...

Bruno

Meet Bruno, the awesome dog. He’s the big fat brother of Kiko who spends most of his day lying on his bed or on the couch. He hops like a rabbit, jumps like a cat, and runs as fast as a cheetah. It’s amazing how he’s able to to do all these things despite his size. He’s awesome! Give Bruno a treat!

Kiko

Meet my dog Kiko. He’s the shyest in the litter but he grew up to be a very loving and loyal shih tzu. Every afternoon he would go sunbathing at our small balcony with Bruno. At night, he lies down by the front door waiting for Koi to come home. Give Kiko a treat!

Wesabe

I really need to start monitoring my earnings and expenses so that I could save some money and avoid overspending at all costs. So I figured maybe I could start by recording everything using a desktop tool or an online service. But I didn’t know where to start and needed advice. Who else would you ask if you needed such information? The omniscient Google. I started seeking advice from the...

Lamb Chops

We bought lamb chops today at Rustan’s Supermarket together with some herbs and spices. I’ll be cooking them on new years eve with my mighty grill pan and Koi will be preparing mashed potatoes with sour cream, dill, and some other herbs which names I can’t remember. Yes, I am ready for this. Thanks to all the lamb chop episodes from the Essence of Emeril show. I knew his tips...
