Perseverance
Permanence, perseverance and persistence in spite of all obstacles,
discouragements, and impossibilities: It is this, that in all things distinguishes
the strong soul from the weak. - Thomas Carlyle

Children's Book Ideas
My mother told me the story of Pagong and Matsing when I was
young. I don't know what to write about at this time perhaps we can work
together on writing this one. Could I write a children's book? Maybe a
geeky children's book. The first book I wrote was a romance novelette.
It was good for a first time endeavor. As they say, as long as you put
your heart and soul in a dream, it becomes a reality. Perseverance—don't
give up.

Brushstrokes
For every brushstroke that I do, I slowly uncover an image on
my digital canvas.

Thanksgiving
I am thankful of my gifts. Today as the East was asleep I have
done this sketch. I hope my art mentor gives me an A for this one. One
time, I was at his studio last year and I was able to do a sketch with
a model in front of our eyes. On this sketch, there is no model in front
of my eyes. Will you pose for me? I think I am getting good in the visual
arts. Is this a transformation that awaits me from a technoid to an artisan?
Anyway, have a Happy Thanksgiving to all...and let me thank you for the
journey in life. God bless you my friends and family.
