So! You want to make watercolor art but haven't any clue what materials to use? Me too! I started with the Prang watercolor set I had in college. I also have watercolor pencils. I bought the Derwent Inktense blocks and water brushes when I was in Singapore. I had paintbrushes from my brother (who also owned the watercolor set, I just bought the refills), from my mom, and from workshops. I bought one bottle of Dr. Ph. Martin's radiant concentrated watercolor at an event. I have a big … [Read more...]
A Holiday Movie Night With Family, Cymplified!

Watercolor Gift Tags, Cymplified!
Mere days before Christmas and we're all about the get-togethers and the gifts we will be giving at the gatherings. Time is scarce to spend it on the traffic jammed roads and navigating the crowded malls to buy gifts, wrappers and tags. Good thing there's online shopping!

Saving the earth one gift at a time, I say! :-D For … [Read more...]

Understanding The “Bunso”, Cymplified!
Bunso is a Filipino word that pertains to the youngest child in the family. There are connotations surrounding the youngest among siblings. It is assumed that the bunso is usually spoiled rotten, which I hope my baby (and my other kids) will not grow up to be. By being the baby, it's assumed that they garner the most attention and affection, especially from the parents. By being "spoiled", the youngest could get away with anything. I sure felt that way with my youngest brother. … [Read more...]
July And Kidzville, Cymplified!
It's November, and I'm still talking about July? Am I crazy? Probably. But... July was a month of hot and sunny days. And also cold, wet, rainy and stormy days. Of the children's staying home three days before one weekend because of class suspension. July was a month of broken scanner glass plate. Of nervousness and palpitation.
