So...I thought I must tell you that I'm taking a break from my 366 Day Project. Well, it's been 4 months since I stopped creating those adorable monster characters. Not that I'm tired of making them. But while it's really time consuming to create those freakin monsters, it was the writing part that discourages me the most. Maybe I find it hard to think of a story related to the characters which I mindlessly draw. Yeah, I draw uninspired most of the time. Or might prolly because I have other blogs to maintain and there's school which takes most of my time and energy. I'm maybe tired. I don't know, the hell with that!

So I figured out - I'd STOP! ?Just take a break. . (have a kitkat), that kind of STOP hopefully.

But that didn't stop me from drawing though. :-D

I mean, if you're really passionate about something you just can't stop it! You can snap out of it for a moment but when days pass by? You'll surely feel bad about yourself. So what I did instead was create illustrations, concept art for a new project. Yes, another project!

Like, I've always wanted to make an animated feature film or be part of making one. My Pixar or Studio Ghibli dream seems so far away from now but I hope I'll make it that far. And like everyone else, I should start with a small but a kick-ass production.

So I thought about making an animated short film of my own. It's still a plan, so I might end up creating a web comics out of the material instead (while studying).

Here are my concept arts and character study for the animated short film I plan to make someday, I hope. While I wish I could do it this year, this month, this week or even today, I'm still not equipped and skilled to do animation yet. I'm not in a hurry, besides I still have Project 366 to finish.

TAR playing with fireflies!

I've finished writing the story of the new project though. Below's the synopsis!

Some sketches for TAR. .

Synopsis: The story is about a young Tarsier named TAR. He lives in a village where fireflies serves as guardians of the night. It lights their way and keeps peace around the village. Although Tarsiers are said to be insectivorous, they're not allowed to eat the fireflies because its said to be a forest spirit they call "Guardians" and is considered sacred by them.  Around twilight, TAR spotted humans armed with dagger, guns, torches and one with a shiny thing that produces a beam of light (flashlight) in the forest. He followed them and noticed that they were looking for something. When the beam of the man's flashlight was shone into his eyes, TAR startled and tried to leap to another tree but he fell into the ground. He thought he'd land with a thud but instead he fell onto something soft. And it was YUNA, a white eaglet who was being chased by the humans. When humans noticed them, another chase began with TAR riding on YUNA's back. Unfortunately, YUNA was captured and TAR felt responsible. When nightfall came TAR braved himself and tried to save YUNA by jumping over the man who was carrying YUNA and startled him. Unfortunately, together with YUNA, the man also dropped the torch causing a forest fire. Together with a big part of the forest, fireflies are gone too. Because of his actions, TAR was not allowed to come back to their village without searching for the fireflies. His mission is to find them to restore the balance on their ecosystem. Together with YUNA, TAR will go through series of adventures to discover the secret of the fireflies.

This is one of the worst days of my life. The day I developed again this freakin ulcer in my mouth. Yes, it's the so acclaimed mouth ulcer or canker sore, one of the most painful little bitches comfortably lying on the tip of my precious tongue. Before, it only seconds to the tiny painful bumps on my tongue which I don't know what they're called. But this time around, this canker goes first!



Also known as aphthous ulcer, this damn little thing actually ruined my foodie alter-ego. I can't appreciate food and it also ruined my academic life. It caused me to absent because of sleepless nights with this canker bitch, bitching on my tongue.

Of course I follow proper oral hygiene for I don't want to end up like one of our most talked about frenemy because of his mouth-foulness like literally. lelz. I can afford mouthwash and of course, I can have my mouth checked anytime of the day because our Dentist's just next doors! And I just found out that this canker sore was caused by having low levels of iron and zinc. O__O I need to take vitamins. Like seriously now.

When a canker sores, it's like you're punished for telling lies or for gluttony. . .it's so painful, it hurts like hell. It may be little but when a canker sores!! FUUUUUU...it's like you're almost dead.

Yet Another Dragon Monster I'm not so sure about! Why the hell did I draw this. O__O It cannot even be related to my Tita's Birthday. Well, Happy Birthday to my Aunt! 

Anubis is the Greek name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in ancient Egyptian religion.

I'm now tired of this Project 366! O__O This is perhaps the mummification of this whole project thing. I need to get my blogging groove back!! But before that, I'm quitting daily posting of my Project 366, so I can work on my backlogs and blog-post-in-mind on weekdays - My Project 366, will be posted every weekend na!! 

Kroona!! The raccoon type monster. Creepy-like version of Alice in Wonderland's Cheshire cat. It must have been influenced by that story. Well, here goes Day 27 of my Project 366. O__O

Bats are the ruler of the night. They're nocturnal and starts the hunting at twilight. Here's Chiropy, the King of Bats.

This post is boring and was done just so I could go on with my Project 366. So please just head over to my awesome post about bats!!

Here's 5 Fun Facts about Bats!

Sunny Wednesday! I'm out of words. This monster is based on a long-haired dog which was carried by a Miss who's also carrying a bouquet of yellow flowers. I came to pass by them on my way home. Sorry, I'm not an expert on breeds of dog but I think it was either a shih tzu or nahh..nevermind. lol

Here's just another random monster I made based on my new favorite color Blue-Green!! :-)

Who doesn't want to time leap? to time travel? to time hop? Well, if only there's a way I would definitely take the chance to go back in time and make things right.

Not so good Monday. >__<

I've never had a dream about crocodiles, and it's been years since I've seen one. The last time was perhaps, when I was in still Junior high, during our Scout Jamboree, the time we had a side-trip on a nearby animal center. Well, it was all part of our Nature trek and I remember being really happy that time. It was so funny then, like the crocodile we spotted had his mouth opened so wide that I. . uhmm..well, I threw a coin inside its mouth. (I know it's not funny when you talk about it now!) Nah, so silly of me back then. So naughty of me, actually! But I have changed. For over the years, karma's a bitch and fear grew inside me. The fear to some wicked and deadly animals. Theoretically, this is the downside of watching too much monster movies.

So, last Saturday I had a close encounter with a crocodile. A very close encounter indeed. So close that he was just a few inches away from me. Imagine, a few damn inches away from my precious body. And in a split second the damn crocodile jumped on to me. And I said to myself, "Chrissake! I haven't even read "How to Deal with Friggin Crocodiles for Dummies". A sequel of "How to Train Your Dragon" with Dragons being replaced by Crocodiles might be helpful though, or so I thought. Then I was screaming inside my head, "Don't you dare eat me". I've developed fats around my body and that'll be very unhealthy for a crocodile to eat!!

As he jumped, everything was like in slo-motion. Ohh..it was freaking me out! Like how am I gonna survive the day with a saltwater crocodile front of me? Well, it may seem obvious to you that I apparently survived the dilemma because I'm writing about it now. But that doesn't mean, I've fully survived.

Because the time, the freaking crocodile landed on my arms. I felt like I was gonna die. I was calm at first but ohh...son of a man-eating, stinky, scaly, holy beast - Please, put this little crocodile to sleep!

Then, I cooled down and so he was. Then I became comfortable with him on my bare hands that I forgot to tighten my grip. And he started shaking around making me shout "Ohh..mayy..Ghshh.". Since the crocodile I'm talking about is a baby crocodile, I thought I'd be gentle to him like how I would normally hold babies. But NO!! That's basically not the way on how to hold a baby crocodile. The proper way is that you'll sort of put more pressure, say force on your grip. Make your grip stronger, because if not, they'll feel there's a way to escape from your hands - they'll definitely take that chance. Remember not to put much hatred to it though because you might end up killing it by strangulation. lol

I was told he doesn't have any name so I named him "Krocko". But he didn't like the name for he started shaking again like he's got epilepsy. So I gave him back to the man who allowed us to get to know the little crocodile, Krocko, who probably needs some sleep! HAHAHA.

Note: Krocko didn't actually jumped, more like he was passed on to my by my friend. . I was the one who jumped. With it's cold, ewwy skin, you'll definitely feel jumpy holding it.

I've always been a fan of myths and folklore and just recently I came across creatures or sprite found in Japanese folklore. Having watched quite a lot of animes, there's a particular legendary creature that I got so curious about and that's the legendary "Kawatarō".

A Kawataro is said to have beak, turtle's shell and  green-coloredcreature.

A Kawataro is also called Kappa which literally means "river-child". They're said to be mischievous troublemakers who makes pranks which sometimes result to drowning innocent people. Here in the Philippines, we don't have our own version of a Kawataro but superstitiously, we blame drowning accidents on either mermaids, ghosts or environmental spirits.

However, in an episode of a particular Shake Rattle and Roll movie, we had little frog-like monsters found in the lake which was called "Undin". Well, we also have "Syokoy" but these Filipino sea creature myths don't seem to sound as friendly as a Kawataro.

During Summer, my cousins and I would always walk pass by the riverside. It's part of our daily nature-tripping around our village. And one of my cousins would always say she saw something in the water. Then I would also tease them it's a crocodile and it's gonna eat us, so we always end up running on our way home.

I hated the fact that I needed to absent last Thursday because my Mom was nagging about "When I am goin to follow up my goddamn case?". Yes, I have a case. And in case you wanna know, I'm currently searching for JUSTICE for an intellectual property case against a footwear company that stole my character designs, had them printed on their flip flops and distributed them, probably, on a NATIONWIDE scale!!

Although I honestly wanted to absent because my knees got sore from walking last Wednesday Night. I don't think, going to a particular government agency (or agencies) would be helpful (and worthwhile) since I was told and I've also observed that the judicial system in the Philippines is slow. Although when I went to the City Council for consultation about two weeks ago, they were very kind and helpful there. But then my Mom insisted and so there I was.

I went to 3 Gov't agency offices and then what I gained were the same words I've gotten from the first office, to the second till the last. And I was like some unfinished document that's being pass from an office to another.They told me that I have to register this and that, need to pay for this and that and then attack! BUT, they can't reassure me, how long the case is going to be. Having been told by my Atty., that my works are protected by the copyright law of the Phils. right on the date of its creation. And with that, I really believed I have a chance on this case. But Where's Justice? When I haven't even fully and officially filed a case.

I have to do all these by myself, and by doing so I will have to jeopardize my education, my blogging and my work. But then Justice must be served. I just hope I could easily contact that company, so I could just bill them and all but it seemed like they've hidden their asses to anonymity and I couldn't get their contact number.This is unfair, they're making money out of my creations!

Wait for it you, *****! Just give me time. No pressure, and no more important things at risk and I shall go find JUSTICE, myself.

Because of my great desire to lose weight, I unintentionally walked a lot last Wednesday with an additional 3KG weight for my laptop. My class schedule was hectic so it was really kind of a challenge for me.

Part of my Wednesday routine was at least a 5-minute stair climb up on a 6-storey building, walk from school down to the highway, then after a 15-minute jeepney ride I would walk from the highway to the Annex campus, a walk from a milk tea shop to school as punishment for not having resisted the cool milky goodness and awesomeness of pearls red milk tea (lol), and a quite unfair loooooong walk from school to our house.

I feel like being cursed or something then, because on my way home from school, not a single trike passed by. I would have ridden a taxi though, if I've got enough money but to think school and home is at least 10 minutes away from each other via a trike; I thought, why not try to walk my way back home?

SO I WALKED. I WALKED, than spend 50+ pesos on Taxi and feel as though I wasted my money for sitting for only a couple of sec. I WALKED feeling I'd save Mother Nature if I did so. I WALKED thinking I'm going to lose a couple pounds without doing any calorie deficit diets. I WALKED believing it's safe to walk around at night here in Davao City. I WALKED groaning because my feet hurts already. I WALKED bashing the Government for placing all the City's trash bins on the left side of the road when ideally, walking on the left side of the road is much more safer and now there exist these nasty bins on the left, which would suffocate you with a killer stench. I WALKED ranting about the potholes on the road. I WALKED thinking about if I should blog that experience or not. I WALKED feeling so self-conscious about why people from the other side of the road were looking at me. I WALKED with paranoia when each streetlight turned off when I went pass under them. I WALKED feeling like I was being chased by death. I WALKED believing it's not to safe to walk around at all. I WALKED thinking I've got to be on a calorie deficit diet. I WALKED feeling, Mother Nature would prefer if I'll plant some tree than WALKING.  I WALKED saying "I should have ridden a Taxi, my Mom's gonna have to pay for fare anyway".

But then, I continued the journey and walked until my knees got friggin tired. And Pingles! I'm at home safe, sound and tired. O__O

Project 366: Days 14, 15,16 | Zip, Zap, Zorb!
Because I haven't done any character designs for the past three days, let me cope up with my Project 366 with these three awezome rodent monzterz!

It's been 3 days already and I am still awestruck by how fantastic our Weekend Getaway was! Last Saturday was the shooting day of our Travel Show's teaser trailer, and it was really fun going through series adrenaline-pumping adventures with my co-hosts Renz and Juy, and of course with our immediate director, Direk Andrew.

First off, we went to Davao Crocodile Park to randomly shoot video stills of Crocs, Eagles, colorful birds, either shy or non-existing Lizards, snobbish Orangutans, cute but smelly civet cats, water puddles(pronounced as POODLE. LOL), and a green-pooping evil Cassowary.

And ohh..we spotted this. .

BTS footage for Let's Get Lost!

(from Left to Right) 1. Bihud(Roe) / 2. Crocodile Sisig / 3. Chicken Barbecue / Sweet Spot's Ice Cream w/ Crocodile Eggs (Croc Eggs Not available yet)

And after that, we went into a crazy hamster ball ride called "Zorbing". This is actually my first time to try the so acclaimed Davao Zorb. Although I've been to the Zorv Park last May, during Davao Food Appreciation Tour 2011, I never had the chance to try it because I had no partner.

But this time around, I had Juy as my Zorbing buddy. Yey!

So we went inside the super smooth, cool and comfy orb and Mr. Zorbman started to strap us on its opposite ends. When everything was settled, they just suddenly pushed the Zorb downhill. And I was terribly shock! Ganun? Ganon lang? Walang Countdown? So, Ganon nalang ngayon Mr. Zorbman??

It felt as though someone was zapping me with electricity from my feet. Then the electricity went through my nerves, veins, muscles even fats until it reach my head. The next thing I know, I was screaming to my lungs.


While inside the rolling zorb, the sky, the grass, the zorb and your screaming partner are all you'll ever see. It was fun, funny and a horrible experience for someone who gets easily dizzy like me.

Although I managed to calm down in the middle, Zorbing is indeed an adrenaline pumping, nerve wracking experience! And I realized how hard it is to become a hamster!! Hahaha.



After Zorbing, we went to Zip City to try the friendliest Zipline in town!! With the thrill-seeker that I am, I've been into several Ziplines already. Been to the highest, longest, fastest Zipline rides in Mindanao but I have to admit that I never got scared with Zip City's zip line. It's very friendly and safe at that! Perfect for first timers. LOL :-)

Now, if you want to have some fun in Davao City. Don't dare miss these exciting adventures by visiting Davao Crocodile Park, Davao Zorv Park and Zip City!

So Ladies and Gentlemen, here's a short video clip of our Zipping, Zapping and Zorbing in Davao City. And ohhh, by the way, that's not our teaser yet. ;-p

Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah Zip-A-Dee-A My oh my, that was a wonderful day! :-)

A lot of great things happened last Friday. So great that I almost did not expect it would end so badly. So after all the fun watching Sherlock Holmes 2: Game of Shadows and then going to a coffee shop to laugh out some more. I just. . . just never thought I would lose a cat again. Poor nameless cat! She was kinda one of my favorite.

Friday the 13th is deceitful! I just when I thought it would be a great day, since 13 is my day of birth and I've been quite lucky over the past few Friday 13th's of my life including my Friday the 13th birthdays - this day came and reminded me of those crying moments of losing pet cats.

I've lost 6 favorite pet cats to death over the years and I've cried so hard when chippy died.

Full name: Chippybell

Chippy, by the way, is my 3rd cat. We actually had a not-so-good start as friends. Coincidentally, it was Friday the 13th when we first encountered each other.

 He was still a stray and wild kitten then. Meowing from inside a pile of chopped woods. My brother tried to grab him out from where he was but it bit him. And because he pained my brother, I went mad and worried that I grabbed a stick, pained the cat somehow, until he went out of the stupid firewood pile.

Later, the poor cat was caged. . . in a bird cage. LOL. And I couldn't remember how we just became friends after that. He started being nice to me. .we fed him and eventually freed him and started treating him as a pet.

Then weeks, months and years came that Chippy was considered to be everyone's favorite cat in the family. Although he can sleep anywhere, at night he just wouldn't leave my bed. He became a great pet cat and he's quite funny too. I remember one time when I brought him to our store. A kid was going to buy a candy when he went near the kid and he pissed on poor kid's face. LOL

Ohh..I really miss Chippy and so as our other cats. Causes of deaths are either, they're very sick or unfortunately they'd get ran over by damn speeding cars. Today is one of the saddest Friday the 13th. :-(

I honestly don't know how to relate the monster character design I made to this day. It's a funny and quite embarrassing Tuesday. Like when I jumped out of the trike that stopped in front of the school gate. My backpack's left strap got stuck on the edge of the trike's front seat.

Since I was out of driver's sight, trying to pull my bag out on the side of the street, the driver suddenly drove his trike so fast that almost flew while grabbing my backpack.

Indeed I looked like a flightless bird trying to break away from a chain that happens to be attached on a speeding train. Nuks. :-D

Meet lime-beak, a flightless type of bird living in the tropics.   He only feeds on lime and that's where he got  his lime-colored skin, eyes and beak.

Then the driver noticed. He stopped but I was like 5 blocks away from the school gate. Yes, that far that most of the people who've seen it laughed so hard that I believe I really made their day. Although I felt embarrassed, it was nice to experience such. I mean, who would have thought that I'd trend on twitter for that. Joke! Truth is, I just didn't want my day to get ruined. I was early at school then, I felt so positive and I started my day right.

 :-)

"Cock-a-doodle-doo!", crowed a rooster on a fine Sunday morning. The next thing I know, I was awake. And then I was taken aback to the good golden old days of my childhood life. Char. Parang ang tanda ko na tuloy. But anyway, hearing the rooster's precious call was a music to my ears.



I don't know why! Some may find it irritating and wanted them to shut up but for me their crows signifies a couple of reasons to live. It signifies a bright cheerful morning and a really exciting day. A fine sunny weather and good things on my way. A cup of hot brewed coffee or a rainbow of joy in every cup of milk tea. But most of all, a rooster's crow is a good reason to Thank God because he still wanted us to live. For without hearing it, we may never have woken up at all. Thank God, I'm alive! :D

But lately, where have the good prolonged cock-a-doodle-doos gone? :(

First day of school and I feel very lazy!

Like a sloth sluggishly climbing up a tree,
I didn't feel any pressure when I'm supposed to be in a hurry.

I just want to be cool on the first day of school
And didn't want to sweat like I just emerged from the pool.

So I went to the library and skipped my first subject.
I read a book about quantum physics but failed to connect.

This is Slowthy, an arboreal monster which you cannot count on. He's too lazy to even care about your brand of Roll-on.

So I went inside the computer laboratory
Then under the confines of my blog, my virtual territory.
After that, I went out to attend Theology.

Theology it is! I couldn't help but yawn.
It's like the boredom I get, whenever it's dawn.
Our teacher said "Divide the class into six groups".
Then by group, we answered a puzzle with biblical scoops.

And I was yawning again while doing our research
As drowsy as most people you see in the church!
Then finally came heaven when morning class was over!
I can finally rest my New Year's Eve hangover.


I went to 360 Degrees and  to get my milktea!
Then I slept the whole afternoon until it went 3:00.
Went to meet my lawyer to file a case.
Then proceeded to school to crack my braincase.

And this is how my day was. . .
And this is how I was. .
As slothy as Slowthy,
A sloth like monster who's always lazy.
