Probably the most important #fanart I'm going to make this year. Been so blessed to have my copy of #Trese signed by sir @kajobaldisimo himself in Manila International Book Fair years ago and now Trese is finally on @netflixph @tresenetflix !!! Guys, rewatching in different languages because it's so great. Huhu. I missed Dante Basco's voice and wow the Japanese dub is awesome. Praying for season 2 #TabiTabiPo #TreseOnNetflix #TreseNetflix #Trese #TreseFanArt .

I wondered how they saw two fishes and how they decided those group of stars were to be one image... So instead of fishes in stars, here are stars in fishes.

Adding to the list of things I need to review... A rare (?) Or at least Japan exclusive (?) Kuretake Phys Gansai Pencil set from a surplus-used shop... It comes with thick water soluble pencils (missing one), graphite pencil, permanent brush pen, traditional bamboo brush, water bottle, and a special sharpener for thicker width pencils. . Don't know when I'll get to try them but this inspires me to continue going for destashed and used items shops both online and offline. So many treasures that just need a second chance. . #smbrodit https://www.instagram.com/p/CiAGfJJJ6yl/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Flowers for the Lady. June 27 is the Feast Day of Our Mother of Perpetual Help. . Today a butterfly flew by, as expected because caterpillars kept eating our kalamansi. . Perpetual Help is significant to me personally because that's our class section during HS sophomore year, the year hubby and I became friends... that's way back 2005. We finally got married more than a decade later on 2016, 2 days before Our Mother's feast day :) . #smbrodit_paints #smbrodit_miniatures #smbrodit #smbrodit_designs #smbrodit_art https://www.instagram.com/p/CQoNBT_HdFR/?utm_medium=tumblr

Stamped tags this time :) . I'm always wary of copyright infringement so I use unbranded stamps OR I carve my own, like this sheep stamp. . It doesn't matter how old I am, I won't get tired with coloring using @crayola @crayolaph_official crayons :) . #smbrodit #smbrodit_papercrafts #smbrodit_designs https://www.instagram.com/p/CP2unYoHU1Q/?utm_medium=tumblr

"Mo Dao Zu Shi" is a high fantasy (Xianxia) mystery adventure and has three versions, as far as I know. I love how the story is so good it doesn't rely on the romance or love scenes at all. It has Asian folklore and traditions, great plot and engaging characters. In essence, it's about two soulmates meeting at the calm before a storm, fighting monsters, evil sects and society's judgments of right and wrong and eventually parting. They are pulled back together to solve mysteries linked to the past. It's rated PG18. It contains love scenes (between the male leads only) and gore (they fight monsters, so duh) and is definitely not for the faint of heart. But this is not my first rodeo and have read books that had uhm "harder" material but subpar plots. Besides, the humor and banter makes it a balanced roller coaster that will leave you crying one moment and laughing the next. This story is so good, it warranted a live (though heavily censored) drama "The Untamed" (available on Netflix but their translation is so-so), a manhwa (comic), a donghua (anime) AND my favorite a mini chibi series (basically cute mini anime that includes scenes in the novel that's NOT in the drama). But this GEM of a line is only in the novel (which I'm rereading for the umpteenth time. The confession scene is just on point I can hear all the fans slow clapping and standing up from behind our respective screens. Some with tears in their eyes and "FINALLY!" on their lips. No joke.) It's been awhile since I've read something warranting a rave this long huhu. (Last was Emma Leech's "To Tame a Savage Heart" and "Flaming June" both in Amazon Kindle. But recently, story wise, "Love and Redemption" also warranted a rave) and even then I don't think it's enough as I find myself both re-reading and rewatching the story. Definitely checking out author's other stories... After MDZS let's me go a bit (which won't be any time soon lol) . 🎨 @madeorganicallyshop watercolors on 📄 @cansonpaper 💎 #MoRest and #Moblique by @luis.creations #smbrodit #smbrodit_calligraphy #silverlinings #bookreview #smbrodit_bookreview https://www.instagram.com/p/CPA6E5Rnf80/?utm_medium=tumblr
