i travel sketch live

I Painted these Camote Tops (as we call it locally) outside our house last november, here in the philippines, we use the Camote leaves as tea or mix it with calamansi and make cold juices from it. Camote is also a root crop which you can eat as a rice substitute. I had been slow in posting on my blog, i am finding it these days that it is so much easier to post on instagram for many reasons but i think looking at pictures and drawings in bigger screens and resolution is still the main reason i but my works on this blog.

That will be my new year's resolution for next year. For this year, i have been to many places all over our country and i have many of people to thank for in making those travels happen. Below is my score for the Lakbayan. The last time i used this was in 2011  and i have to admit i do not quite know the places/provinces in the philippines, i guess using this regularly will make my Philippine Geography better.

Last sunday after lunch me and Kikit went to malagos philippine eagle center because i had been wanting to watercolor paint their pond area, i love the lily's and the lotus that is all over the area and the leaves and the flowers, everything there is just picturesque.

Of course you still can read all those articles on his website, they points are explained very well with inspirational stories and interesting hand drawings. start a habit by doing the easiest thing again and again, like putting on your running shoes every morning improve everything you do or have by 1%

Today we celebrate our wedding - march 26 3 years ago This morning she was sleeping and i told her not to move as i got up, took my phone and started sketching her with the 7am sun on her skin.

The Highlights of my eventful September First Byaheng mindanaw raided our house to celebrate my 34th year Second we went to glan saranggni to experience one of the oldest towns in Mindanao. Exploring their heritage structures and enjoying their beaches in our ethnic costumes Third we spent an afternoon witnessing GenSan's Tuna festival and ate street food! Fourth We attended the chocolate festival New Notebook

Byaheng Mindanaw is composed of individuals who want to travel and share their travel experiences to the world. Specifically we travel different locations all over Mindanao Philippines in our ethnic Costumes and immerse in the different cultures and locations. When we come home, we share our experiences to everybody all over the world through internet and other media. We write about the places we have been to, and share the pictures we took, recordings, and sketches we made about the flora, fauna, and people we met and the music and dances we witnessed.

Last August 20, Kanako Makino , a japanese Journalist homestayed at Kikit's parents house. She was there in Calinan Davao City to interview the some Japanese Descendants and their experience in World War II.

 earlier we watched the moon together from our second floor bedroom window after, i told Kikit that i will paint that scene tonightLike

Fun Facts: - for each group of performers, 75% of its participants are real Indigenous People, the dancers, the musicians and the costumes and accessories worn are the real deal. - there are 7 tribes being portrayed in the festival and 22 groups performing - the performance was split in to two days for maximum energy for the performers and the spectators - the seven tribes names are : Bukidnon, Higaonon, Manobo, Matigsalug, Talaandig,  Tiwahanon and Umayamnon - when you travel, you will make new friends, and surely you will look forward to go traveling with them in the future.

I want to write about how much fun we had, how much booze we had, how very drunk we got, how many wacky and scandalous pics i took (that i could not remember taking), and how i almost forgot about all of it; but words will never be able to describe what we experienced, but surely if the organizers will be able to bring the same event back next year, we will  go again!  i cannot even remember the event properly, how much more tell the story in English? :D
