Wedding Memories!!!

Last week, the hubs and I celebrated 9th year wedding anniversary and it still feels like we have just gotten married. I feel lucky because of that, its like we're on our honeymoon stage forever. I hope this goes on forever.

It doesn't mean the path had been smooth all the time, we did have some rough patches here and there but still, never had been one that rocked the entire boat, and nothing that couldn't be handled.  I am very thankful.

So today, though I need to finish a painting for a Christmas card, I am reminiscing our wedding.  It's just funny that stumble upon this Moissanite website on the brief history of weddings.  And it makes me feel like I want to get married all over again.

Hawaii or Vegas???

Being busy making art while keeping an 8-5 deskjob (or keeping an 8-5 deskjob while making art) can be challenging, well, not if we have 36 hours in a day, but we only have 24. It's not physically stressful, but sometimes my heart feels like it's going to burst when I have a sudden vision or when I'm nurturing a beautiful idea inside my head I couldn't get my hands on my art materials....and stay glued on paperwork and the work PC instead.  But I'm thankful because the regular job pays the bills, while my art whims makes the bills.  Teehee!

I need a vacay soon (and perhaps be able to find time to sit down and focus on my art pursuits). But lately, two opportunities opened up.  A good deal for a Hawaii trip..and a very tempting opportunity to go wild in Vegas (wild with money, that is). The latter sounds like a perfectly good prospect for some well-deserved respite, especially with the hubs willing to buy me cirque du soleil ka tickets AND cirque du soleil o tickets  (yes both!!!) He's also interested in cirque du soleil michael jackson the immortal tickets which I will not argue with since I was also a big MJ fan, and well, as long as hubby pays the tickets, right? I like the cirque for their very artistic performances, and because simply put,  SURREAL IS RIGHT UP MY ALLEY.  Exciting right? 

Plus the never-ending buffets? Yes, I think I just made up my mind.

Back from Hiatus

Forgive me for the long absence. It has been a long while since I posted a work of art.  I have been sidetracked by so many things. Vacation for instance.  Well, it's a good thing.

Work is another thing.  But it's gotta be good too, knowing that I have a regular source of income.  It's something I am very thankful for even if all my art projects took a back seat.  I'm slowly gaining momentum and I'll be back making art again.  It's a habit.  I can't deny it.  I breathe it.  It makes my life better.  It is"suposedly" what makes me come alive.

Other interests lately,  antiques! I have been exposed to appreciating antiques growing up, but it's only now that I can say to myself that I can afford some on my own.  My vacation came out really well.  I brought along two 50-lb luggages on the plane and most of them carrying nice art pieces and antiques.  I'm into old spanish colonial statues of saints, candelabras, frames, vases.  My online surfing has changed from shoe-shopping to art-surfing.  Recently, I found nice Quartz Crystal Singing Bowls that I would like to own, as well as a pair of old capiz window panels that I would like to use as wall decor.  I'm finding more stuff but I know I need to take it slow. 

So there, this is me at this point of my existence.  I'm changing.  But still struggling to make more art.  Yes, soon.  Promise!
