A Day in My Life

I thank you guys for encouraging me last time. No worries, I'm trying to be still and have faith so I really hope I will be okay. Sorry, I didn't reply to all of you who emailed me and left your nice comments in my blog last time because of my quiet busy days. I'll try to have time to reply to you guys, wait patiently. My tummy seems okay. Past few days, I was working on my unfinished personal drawing when I thought about my personal problems. I sighed deeply. Then my mama visited me and spent time with me. Of course, I was very happy to see her again. We talked to each other, shared simple jokes with each other and took newest webcam photos of us. Hehehe yes, my mama asked me to take more pics, we were so funny and silly. At least, she cheered me up. Awwwwww.. meow.

Here's my submission, "A Day in my Life" for the Paper Quilt Project by Dawn. I must admit that I rarely do art collages but I was way too excited to participate this. I personally chose five paper scraps and started creating it. Ta-da, I finished it for one day. Dawn, thank you very much for inviting me to participate in this marvelous project, it was so fun, enjoyable and pleasure. Next time, I should keep and save any papers for making more art collages. (*Mall grins.*) Hope you guys like it.


It's 3.5" X 5", Acrylics + Coloured Pencils + Pen + Collage on Bristol canvas paper. I explain to you guys this simple description of this art collage: "I seek out my cats... Looking for them, checking on them, wanting to play with them... Every hour, every minute, every second of the day... Never ending fun and excitement." That girl character is me (I know, she looks like a boy... 'coz of my short hair, you know...)


This dedication is for my sister's female persian cat Abu. It was her May birthday. Err, I can't remember her exact birthday date. However, she passed away past few years ago. I can describe Abu that she was playful, naughty, intelligent, cheerful and sometimes lazy. You know, sometimes I paint, sketch and draw artworks of what I dream about Abu. As a matter of fact, I created my cat character Abu to be Babu's male partner in 2005. Why male? Because my sister and I thought Abu looked like a 100% male cat, aye? I took this old photo of Abu in the garden... Eeep, Abu stared at me seriously but she looked wonderfully beautiful. I never forget Abu.


Okay, I have to go to the town now.

Your photos with your mom are soooo lovely! I agree with susana and patricia, you both look like sisters! I'm asking you something, how many do you have brother/sister?

Ahhh, i want to hug your cute cute cute Abu! Seriously! *_______* sorry for your loss. But atleast Abu is happy to have this beautiful dedication from you. Did Abu have kittens?

By the way, you and your mom look very lovely! :)

earl: thank you dearest. *hugs hugs hugs* Kumusta ka na? Hope everything will be okay there... I hope to hear more from you.

pat&susana: Sigh, it's so hard to control myself from bad feelings, dear. I really want to be okay. :( Yeah, I should be still. Yeah, I can sense that Abu is happy to see this dedicated work. Glad you liked it, dearest twins. *kisses and hugs*

jmonzani: ^___^ Glad you liked the pictures, merci! Oh sure, I'll give my hugs to Abu for you. No worries, I'm still trying to be okay, I hope. Thank you dear. *hugs*

joyce: I'm so pleased that you loved my work. Thank you! Hmm, my neighbor found Abu in the dirty canal... so she passed away. We didn't know how she was dead. Sigh, it's so awful, right? Yes, I have one brother (Jeremy) and one sister (Erica). Thank you for hugging me. *hugs back*

raquel: Gracias, dear! meeeeoooorrrrrwwwww! ;)

witch: salamat dear! Yep yep, it was a *real* Abu. Look at these old photos of Abu. That's my sister Erica who cleaned Abu's wet clean furs with blue towel. hehehe, ang kapal talaga ung buhok ni Abu, it was so hard to comb her fluffy furs!

jake: Yes, Abu got 5 cats: Puti (means white), Itim (black), Takot (afraid), Orangeh (orange) and Duling (errr... crossed eyes?). However, Puti and Duling were dead already 'coz of their accidents... Itim was lost (or stolen by someone), we didn't know where he was. But of course, Takot and Orangeh are still alive here. Luckily, Orangeh got 3 new kittens. I should take care of them. Thank you for asking me, Jake. :)
