Illo Friday: electricity

i cant believe that a week just passed by so fast.. i wasnt even able to finish my illo for the topic "seed".. well ok, not even started with one. but i have the image in my mind until now.

so here goes a couple of camera paintings that is well suited.. but dont touch your screens or the electricity will stun you! };-}

when work eats you alive...



...you have to fight back or you're dead.



coz life without art is not life at all. you are just in autopilot.

illo friday: wrinkles

we dont need sound to feel
we dont need sight to see
you can see from miles and miles
without the need to open your eyes

just pause for a while
to feel what we cant see
those glittering gray eyes
would walk with me thru eternity..

"If the world will end, I would go to The Netherlands
because everything happens there 50 years later."

A.W.O.L.

the sunset is only the beginning

as i relive the dream of our past
in my mind i bathe
with the promises now showered and clear

i drink the wine of your fulfillment
as i untangle your gift
of once unfathomed desires

i am not afraid anymore
for fear is a snow drop
that melts as it hits the floor

and i lay myself on your warm hands
as you open the window
for us to see

come...
come soar with me now
as we unravel whats ahead
while the blue horizon changes its hue
shining at our every footstep
glistening to our wings

nothing is indeed impossible
as long as we hold on
to our dream...

Illo Friday: Leap

"A dream you dream alone may be a dream, but
a dream two people dream together is a reality." - John Lennon

Moody Monday: Colorless + meme

my world would be colorless without books
and lifeless without music



here's another tag for this week. isay passed the baton to me to post 5 random weird things about myself. i had done one of these before as i posted 5 weird habits.. but here's to add another 5 then!

6. i have more cds than books. and the photo above shows only a fraction of what i have.

7. i buy a book 90% of the time i pass by a bookstore. even though i have tons of other unread books calling for me in the middle of the night (well technically "day" because... read no.8)

8. i have insomnia and im up all night. thus i work at night and sleep at daytime. and my body clock only allows me to sleep for max of 5 hours or else i get a headache.

9. among my old high school peers (barkada), i used to be the quiet one. until i met them again a few years back and they were almost shocked that i was not as timid as they once knew. (*.* thanks!)

10. i am a geek and my hero is dexter.

now i tag: Anto | Teri C | Forever Young | Anonyrrie | Bluerose | Zari
