After online surfing on instagram for other calligraphers, I found a retailer of Sharpie Brush Pens and jumped at the chance of buying a set of 12!! I got them from Rainbow Writer Ph (IG:rainbowwriterph) and they are very very accommodating! Aside from the Sharpie Brush Pens, Rainbow writer offers many other kinds of crafty ballpens/pens such as Sharpie Ultra Fine, Pilot Juice, Sharpie Neon etc! As previously mentioned, I am building up my brushpen collection. I have already fallen in love with the Zebra one I purchased from Craft Carrot, and I dont think these sharpie sets will be an exception. I have only test driven the black color but the tip is very flexible and malleable. Perfect for a beginner like me, making it effortless to produce thicks/thins. Here are photos of the set and a test piece I did with the black colored Pen:

For our 2nd Wedding Anniverary, Mart and I decided to take a quick trip to Subic, Matnog. Many of our friends have talked about it being a really quiet beach of white-pink sand, awesome swimming waters and just a great get-away.
From Legazpi, Martin was able to make the drive to Matnog in 2 hours. It is approximately 150kms away and we left at an off-peak time so there wasnt much traffic. To make the trip enjoyable I bought along my cheap-o bluetooth speakers and streamed songs the entire way. We also both love long drives, it gives us a time to focus on just conversation and enjoy the countryside sights. We left home at 3pm and arrived at Matnog Port close to 5, we had to get on our boat before sunset or else the sea-trip wouldnt be that safe. For those that don't know, Matnog is the southernmost tip of Luzon Island, approx 600+ km away from km0. It is also the gateway to the Visayas, with Samar Island being visible in the horizon. We've been to the port once before, when we had to deliver relief goods to Haiyan-hit Tacloban. But since we arrived at 1am, we didnt get to notice what it really looked like in normal circumstances. There are big RORO (roll-on, roll-off) boats at the pier at the same time houses lining the coast. This is what the Pier looked like at 5pm: A few days ago I went crazy shopping online for craft items that may or may not be necessities. My new favorite shops are The Craft Central and Craft Carrot from where I bought numerous hard-to-find (here in Legazpi) items. The good news is, while we were away for a anniversary trip the items finally arrived!! Upon reaching home, I tore away the courier packaging and began playing with my new goodies!! From The Craft Central I got the following:
From Craft Carrot, I purchased the following:
Below are more photos of what I have been able to do with the goodies!! (Mostly writing with the inks, perhaps tomorrow I'll use the gift tags) We're off to parts unknown (to us hihi) for a few days to celebrate our anniversary. There may or may not be internet connection which is why Im writing this before we leave.
Something we both love to do is travel but in our vocabulary its called EXPLORING. So we're heading to a beach that's 3 hours away (by plane or car? Its a secret). The place boasts nice snorkel sites and awesome food. Perfect for would-be adventurers such as ourselves. See you when we get back. bye! |
