I love art, but I love type even more. When it comes to graphic design, I prefer to focus more and study (if I could, I would) more on type. I think it’s the simplest form of visual communication that’s very flexible to work with as soon as you’ve worked your way around it. The possibilities of manipulating type, visually, are endless too.

Now, like everybody else, I, of course, would like to try my hand at it, too. There’s this trend I noticed for a couple of months now. Everyone’s suddenly into hand lettering, calligraphy. Before, it was called “Doodling”, to me at least. People writing off random words, or could be lyrics, passages, quotes, etc., and not just writing it for the sake of writing, but writing it beautifully. Design it with pens, markers, whathaveyou.

And so.. After resisting hard from joining the bandwagon of letterers, calligraphers, last but not the least “doodlers”.. I gave in, surrendered and joined in the craze of hand lettering!

Hello world! I’m updating from the comforts of my bed right now because I can’t be bothered to get up and do it from my desk. Not feeling well at the moment, and I’d like to think this is from the constant going out in the past weeks. My health has finally taken a toll on me, sadly. This sucks, too, because my birthday is coming up. FML

Getting sick just a few days before my birthday is normal, in my case. I don’t know why. And as always, I never learn. I could say now that I won’t go out weeks before my birthday, in hopes to avoid the same thing happening over again.. but give it a few more months and I would have forgotten about my ~promise~.

Anyhoo, I’ve always wanted to do this thing I see in blogs.. wherein you post 6-9 photos from your IG feed from the previous week and give a description to it. It has a bunch of different names, and I don’t know if this one I’m using is taken or is being used widely or owned already.. But here you go, my “The Week That Was”. Lol. I don’t do this kind of post that often because I don’t have an exciting IG feed like everyone else since I’m mostly at home. However, the last two weeks have been crazy and fun.. and definitely made me busy than the usual. 

On a normal day, posts like this one would go into my tumblr blog. But today, I thought of changing that habit. Since no one reads this blog that much nor do I have a sizeable amount of followers to react violently to this post (I hope, LOL) I’m gonna post it here!

Also, when I’m blogging on tumblr, it seems like a short post always, always ends up being 5x longer than I intend it to be. So I hope blogging~ this in a different platform would shorten it, IDK.

Text-heavy post, just saying! 😛
