Mother's Day "I Love You Mom", chocolate bouquet

Thursday, June 21, 2012

I would just like to share this even though the mother's day has already passed by last May 13, 2012 on Sunday. My mother is so important in my life and I am so blessed to have such a strenuous mom. I am not that expressive enough to tell in front of her how much i love her, maybe because I am a passive type.  :D Everyone knows that.. I guess /sweat It shines through my actions and behaviors...

Every time I feel joy in my life, I can't resist grabbing a pen and write down the words in my heart (it's not literally a song.. What I meant are the feelings of how I am so much affected by the happy or sad situations).


Here's a simple poem I have composed...

You’ve been my teacher, nurse and counselor….
i thank you for enriching my life in so many ways
no matter what i do, either good or bad, you always come through,

Even when I’m a brat,
you always takes good care of me, you kept me in line for my own sake,

thank you for the endless hours of time you spent
and the boundless energy you invested in me,

I am so grateful that you’re my ‘Mamang’ who have influenced me in my life,
sometimes through genetics,
more often through great effort and patient instruction

We, your daughters and sons, won’t forget your sacrifices as you often gave up or deferred your own dreams
so that we could have ours,

to my mamang and papang, we’ll always there for you, "walay magbag-o sa amo mag-igsoon, same lang japon mi buotan ug usahay gahi’g ulo heheh ^__^ (usahay lng man) :D " translation [:|] --> (we, my brothers and sisters will always stay what and who we are no matter what, we will stay being good and sometimes bad haha!)

I want you to know
I’ll just love you more
Every year that I grow

So, for all the times I didn’t say,
The love I felt for you each day,
‘Mang, read this so you can always see
Just how much you mean to us


I handed my gift to my mom and she was speechless with a smile in her face. I felt also her happiness in her heart. She thought nobody cared about the occasion because we're very silent about it. heheh!! My Father, brothers and sisters have their own gifts for my mom too. We made it totally perfect and a very special day for our mom ♥ ♥ ♥


I personally made this chocolate bouquet for my beloved mom. Those round and color gold liked-roses are chocolates..specifically fererro rocher (i am not sure with the correct spelling though haha! sorry for that.) :"> All I know is that it's such an expensive chocolate ever! And delicioso num num num! I invited my mom out to the mall and I let her picked what she wanted and I billed it out as a gift too :) She's so happy, she kept on smiling while heeding and choosing clothes. I really love you Mang!(Mom) mwuah! ♥


This is my gift for my boyfriend's mom. She's really kind and supportive in our relationship.. ♥ We handed it to her with a red Sony mp3!!. We thought of giving her the mp3 because we always heard her whining of an mp3 with her favorite songs in it. ♥

First Attempts At Realistic Drawing

Tuesday, June 19, 2012




From "Unappreciated" to Excellent "Acceptable" 😂
My first attempts at realistic drawing
I started drawing pictures of nature, animals, and humans with grotesque facial distortions in my elementary years as part of our Art Class. All of my drawings resembled nothing from reality even though I poured out all my strength just to make my drawings look realistic or acceptable to be called an art. It ended up all of my drawings were absolutely "Unappreciated". It was really frustrating as it affect my grades. ♪♫♬ I did my best, but my best wasn't good enough. ♪♫♬ 

During my high school years, I participated various activities which involved arts particular in props/backdrops making. I could say that my drawing abilities had improved a bit during my high school years as I had teachers who were good in art. I'd been observing them and that's where I got some techniques in drawing. From that, I was able to draw pictures of anything with minimal distortions. The final verdict of my artworks were excellent  "Acceptable". Hahah. Unfortunately, I haven't kept even one copy of my drawings.

Those drawings above were my first attempt in sketching a bit realistic pictures of me and my brother with a #2 Mongol pencil and short bond papers. It's not perfect but not a bad thing for a beginner. I didn't expect that I could develop this kind of skill. I could say that all us could draw and improve their drawing skills. In every skill there is a spectrum of proficiency. Negativity in mind should be taken away from the beginning, that is if a person is interested pursue his/her dream about drawing. 

There are some articles stating that people who are left-handed are good at drawing, more creative etc. I am actually a lefty person but just like everyone else, I started with a distorted hand-drawn stick man. For me, it has nothing to do with the hand, whether you're a lefty, right-handed or ambidextrous. It's just a matter of believing in yourself. 

Since then, my art journey began :) From drawing to painting.

Cup of Pink Tea

Monday, June 18, 2012


Hi guys!! This is my first post on my blog. 😺
First of all, thank you for dropping by here. I actually have my old personal blog which I've been running, and I am still not happy with it. For me, it's quite complicated to manage as it has so many navigation bars, tools which I'm not familiar of, click bait ads beside my feeds and has no auto-customization for the blog layout. I am just a casual blogger and has no plan yet of making this as a full-time career. I like reading others' blogs and that's where I found the existence of Blogspot/Blogger.com. So, I gave it a try, I made a google account and signed-up, and then other google services/accounts followed such as Youtube and G+. Blogger.com is easy to use, it is really a casual blogger friendly who aren't CSS/HTML savvy. Although I have a background in those computer/programming languages used mainly for designing website and running some online systems, my laziness will start to rule my world. Hahah. The good side for me is that having a little knowledge of those languages have helped me in retouching up my blog layout. :)


Blog Name: Cup of Pink Tea

Naming my blog was a tough one. I've been thinking of what would be the nicest, cutest and catchy blog name should I use. I asked help from my friends and even read an article about the best names for a personal blog. Some suggested to use the full name of the blogger, some said it would be nice if it's unique but not hard to remember, there are pro bloggers suggesting to use an expressions of something I like or describing who I am or what I am into. Indeed, a really grueling thing to do as it drained my brain. Hahah. Hours of thinking until I came up with "Cup of Pink Tea". I got that idea from the expression "Cup of Tea" which is used to describe the things I enjoy doing or I like. I just added the adjective "Pink" to make it sound more girly and interesting. :) Basically, my blog would be more on about the things I like.  BUT I am certain that in the next couple years or so, I'll change my blog name into a more catchy and simple one.
