Out of boredom

and laziness.

I went shopping yesterday for new Silver marker (coz the one I had was faulty), and as always, I ended up buying more than just a Silver marker.
I bought these too.

I bought the green ones back when I was doing the August Doodle Challenge (but never actually use it for the challenge).
and now I wonder what I should be doing with them. I still have plenty of kiddies marker pens to choose from, not to mention my Sharpies too.

So what I did today was to color my Ariel. 

I printed the 'coloring' image from the internet (found it on Goodle search).

I know, very sloppy. LOL. well, I'm no professional.

I don't know where this 'coloring' craze came from.
maybe it's from what I've been seeing on IG's explores page; people been posting colored pages from that famous coloring book. I don't know where it originally came from but I know I first saw the thing from Key's IG post few months back. and the written letters were in Korean.

Now, I saw these coloring books at our local bookstore too. Only it's in English. Although I considered it cheap, I haven't got around to buy them. I'm scared that this phase I'm in is only temporary. besides, I am such a lazy person that even if I thought of it, I usually ended up not doing it. LOL

anyway,
i thought I'd share this recent thoughts here;
I once saw someone posted a collection of their sketch books and I thought, "I wish I could draw too" and proceeded into thinking of buying a sketch book for myself.
But yesterday, as I was buying the markers and looking thru some small sketch book to buy, I realized, I am no artist (not the one that draws anyways) and decided to stop the frenzy of buying art supply and such.
On my way home, I kept thinking (and realizing) that I already have a collection of books/journals. they may not be as awesome as the one that those artists have; with their anime like drawings, majestic colors, etc. but my diaries/journals are all and filled to the brim with writings.
I think it's awesome that I actually have diaries/journals collection. 
How many people have such collections? I mean a collection of something you yourself create? I'm guessing not so many.
I remember writing or typing the saying of Anne Frank's, "I may not know how to draw but at least I can write".
So, as I sat here this afternoon, wondering (still) about what to draw, I decided to just let go of that ambition and just settled with coloring instead. I colored so well. LOL

all I'm saying is that, I'm glad that I have this sense of trying to draw. In another word, I'm trying to find myself again thru this. "Try and Error," as one of my fellow Team Building buddy once said. 
It's never too late. the good thing about it is that, at this age, you become less stressful over your error and learn quickly to move forward onto another thing.
it may look like I was giving up but lets face it, drawing doesn't just happened over night (as do success), they took a lot of years to perfect.
Just like writing. I don't just write like this out of no where. It took me my entire high school life to find the confidence to even write this long for your viewing. even when you don't read it! 

I guess, from my point of view, people only ever interested in my art when I have a lot of pictures posted together with any of my lengthy post. So that's what I did all these years with my posts. To keep people interested, I either posted something short with one picture or if I decided on something lengthy, I make sure I have some pictures attached in it before posting.
It gets a little frustrating sometimes trying to figure out what makes people happy with my posts.
BUT
that always short-lived and I ended up posting whatever I want.
xD

. . .

Onew has a sexy back.

No hate.
. . .

Here come the lot

before we start on anything else, I shall post my August Challenge first.
coz it's dead overdue! ●‿●

So, here it comes

D15: Your Bedroom

well, this is like 1/3 of my room. and it's not exactly in that color. LOL

they are actually in white color.

D16: Something you bring for vacation. or in my case; THINGS

Honestly, I wasn't sure of what I actually bring during vacations. I know we had to bring some necessities. but the one thing I usually bring isn't really just ONE thing. it' a lot of things and the above are the examples. LOL me babbling is the worst.

D17: Childhood game

I was initially thinking of drawing Monopoly since that board game was and still is my fav but I thought, Snake and Ladder is so much fun to draw (and far more easier to draw (●*∩_∩*●) ) than Monopoly. AND it's a little nostalgic when I see this so I am glad Icpicked Snake and Ladder as my childhood game. 

D18: Nails

I drew my left hand and used real nail polish on this. \m/(>.<)\m/

I've always love the 'Sailor' theme paint for nails but I never got the chance to out them on my real nails. （〜^∇^)〜

D19: Fave Drinks. or Drink. (coz I lazy to draw (*~▽~))

 I only noticed that it says 'Drinks' as in plural. LOL 

I would have drawn like plenty if I've noticed it earlier. but I guess this will have to do since it really is one of my top most fav drink. ヾ(*´∀｀*）ノ

D20: Fave Artist/celebrity. (here's my version of cheat day; an edit picture via phone apps 
( ́ ◕◞ε◟◕`) )

this was done like last year on his Bday. hahaha 

I did want to draw this but see how complicated it gets? 

My brain isn't equip with such brilliance

⇎_⇎

D21: Workspace

this is a 3/4 of my work table at home. but believe me when I say picture(s) can be deceiving. hahaha and what I meant by that is my table isn't that neat.

D22: Dream

Yes, my dream is to go to one of the SHINee World Concert. After not being able to go to a Westlife Concert, I feel like I NEED to go to a SHINee Concert this time around.

D23: Fave Song

Annie 1999 version had always been my fav musical/movie of Annie.

I haven't watch the 2014 Annie but I heard this song on the radio and love it right away.

D24: Rainbow

I've loved Rainbow for its colors since forever. I even loved Rainbow cake for that same reason.

but ever since the US are using Rainbow as their 'Equality' colors, I began to not liking it anymore.

It's just my belief. I will not try and explain it here. 

I'm just pointing out just WHY THEY HAD TO RUIN MY FAV?! 

D25: Fandom

YAS! I am in the Shawol (short for SHINee World) fandom.

I'm also in so many book fandom (namely Harry Potter).

D26: Gadgets (once again, just ONE gadget)

as simple as this drawing goes, it took me ages to finish.

So that's it for this post. I have five more doodle challenge to go. and it shall be post before the month is up of course.

but first, (°ロ°)
let me take a selfie!

OK. See you on the next post. 

. . .

Make do

that one time that I wanted to paint my nails a nude color

I tried all the nude color tester in FaceShop, Etude, Holika Holika and SkinFood.

But I couldn't decide which one I should buy first.

So, the next day, after much consideration, I got home and decided to just paint my nails chocolate instead.

hahaha. 

kira, kalah-kalahan lah ni aku ah. Can not decide which one to buy, just use the one yg I already have. in my head, i was thinking, nude color is like skin color and skin color is a shade of brown and chocolate is a shade of brown. You see the connection now? 

just laugh when you still cannot see it.

a/n: I realised that my nails/fingers are ugly. they are so dry and lack nutrition. Just don't look too long at the pictures. :P

. . .

D12: Fave Movie

my current fave movie. 

I've always been a Cinderella fanatic and my ultimate fav has to be Ever After. 

but that one is a bit tough to draw and I don't have the energy to do tough doodling right now. So i settled with this one saja ≧◡≦

D13: Fave Book

once again, this is my current fav.

While I was figuring out about my fav book, I realized, I don't have ONE fav book. I have A LOT fav books! I know it's hard to believe but I'm a book lover. asking me which one is my ultimate fav is like trying to pick one fav star in the sky; i tat bit hard.

D14: Hobby

at first I wanted to write/draw me writing and reading. which they are (still) my hobbies.

but ever since the moving, all my spare time was spent on sleeping. Even when I was thinking of picking up a book to read (to check off my reading list), I ended up curled up on my bed to sleep. hahaha so, yeah, my hobby now is sleep.

"For in dreams we enter a world that is entirely our own," - Albus Dumbledore

I have a lot more to catch up on for the August Challenge. I was hoping I could catch up very soon.

. . .

a/n: it scares me just how many months have passed and we now fast approaching September. (⊙︿⊙✿)

. . 

One more thing

Now that I had the Manila Trip posts out of the way, 
I can post the August challenge.

but before that, I wanted to share this thing first.

It's the English toffee candy that I've been searching for a very long time.

I found it di SupaSave during the Hari Raya festives. 

and it costs 10.90 per box (the picture is deceiving. it's actually pretty small)

awesome.

but I'm a happy and that is all that matters!

I think this box could last me for a year. So, I don't have to worry about buying a new box anytime soon.

♪ ♬ ヾ(´︶`♡)ﾉ ♬ ♪

. . .

that being said, lets us now move on to the August Challenge.

D10: OOTD

I actually wore this on Aug 10th. 

D11: Something Cute

I Googled this and this is soooo cute in the real picture. I'm not doing any justice here. sorry real photo takers.

I shall post the rest of the August Challenge in the next post.

Thank you for checking this page out.

♫♪˙‿˙♫♪

. . .

Vacation

Day 9: Vacation

this had to be the laziest of doodle in the history of laziest doodle.

LOL

But since I'm flying in a few more days to Manila, I mean, why not draw Philippines flag, right?

and also,

I think I am coming down with a fever; runny nose, sore throat, sneezes like what, just, minus the fever.

I know I should be happy (YAY CUTI SAKIT!) but I am so malas to go to the clinic to take MC (a medical certificate stating you are unfit to go to work) so, I don't know. we will see tomorrow. 
It must be that durian I ate this morning. I'm not a durian person normally but it was sitting there on our kitchen floor, half opened and I just opened the other half. 
and later towards the day, I drank a lot of carbonated drinks. 
hmm...this almost reminds me of those days when all I wanted was to get sick and I did a lot of shits just to get myself sick. hahahah
but seriously, this time, it wasn't intentional. 
After I realized what I've done (with the carbonated drinks), I've pushed myself to drink a lot of plain water. I just finished a medium sized bottle and now on to the big bottle.
Not that it wouldn't be fun not to go to work tomorrow but I'm flying in a few days time and I don't want to be worried about body scan and what not at the airport when I'm still recovering from my fever. trust me, I know. I was sick on my way home from England last time and it was during the H1N1 out break. -.- You can call me paranoid. 

Ok, buat karangan panjang jua lah disini ani... LOL

imma go now. trying to draw tomorrow's D10: OOTD. I don't usually thought of OOTD. so, this is gonna be a challenge (no pun intended ;P)

. . .

What do I do with my life now??

I just finished watching this Korean Drama, called Maids.

Jung YuMi was in it. xD
you know, the girl from DongYi.
LOVE HER!

"A drama about the lowest class of servants during the Joseon Era.
In Yub (Jung Yumi) is a beautiful noblewoman who becomes a servant overnight when her father is framed and labeled a traitor.
She ends up falling in love with a fellow servant, MooYoung (Oh JiHo) who is the most attractive servant and skilled warrior in HanYang.
He is also a mysterious man who hides his real identity and pretends to be a servant.
Meanwhile, Eun Gi (Kim DongWook) is a man who has everything from intelligence to looks. He is the chosen groom for In Yub and will forms a rivalry with MooYoung."

the above I copied from the back of my DVD. hahaha satu saja yg salah; MooYoung wasn't hiding his true identity; he didn't even know who he was! Misleading ini synopsis.
Very intriguing from the beginning and story-line not so bad. sasak level on point. LOL and as for the ending..Well..sigh..bila jua ku suka Korean ani membuat ending cerita durang, kan? I think that ending could be better. 
I like it, I don't love it but you gotta acknowledge to the better 'killing'/'dying' scenes. q(❂‿❂)p  *applause* 

Right now, I'm considering whether I should start watching Rooftop Prince tonight or wait until I got from my Manila trip (which will be on the 13th. EXCITED!!). I know, old drama. I once wanted to watch it coz Micky Yoochun (former DBSK member and now part of JYJ). Now I want to watch it coz Jung YuMi was in it. xD

First, lets Eat!!

. . .

the problem with the August Doodle Challenge (as I come to realize) isn't exactly 'drawing'.
It's more towards trying to post a Doodle A Day that is more challenging for me. 
LOL
coz I'm dead lazy to EVEN turn on my laptop, you wouldn't believe!

So, yeah...
well played Esma. well played. 
hahaha

Day 7: Fave Food
No. it's not because of the dubu guy. I've always love chicken. way before he was born (coz I was born in 1987 and he was born in 1989 ≧◡≦  )

Day 8: Adventure
from the beginning I kept thinking about Harry Potter magical world in London, Orlando, Japan.
but because trying to draw Harry Potter is like me trying to sing to you all Westlife songs in one night, I thought to just draw that cartoon Adventure Time. 
Then I realised, I don't even really watch Adventure Time.
So, finally, I just took my time drawing my beloved HP-related things.
Hoping one day I will get the chance to go to Universal Studio, Japan or the Making of Harry Potter studio tour somewhere in England.

(I know challenger didn't ask us to explain but I thought I let you guys know this (⌒o⌒) )

. . .

I believe congratulation is in order

Hellew~

as mentioned in my last post, one of my closest of friend got married!!

Congratulation bebeh! 
Sorry I wasn't as involve as a bestie should be. 
BUT alhamdulillah everything berjalan dengan lancar (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧

here's a few pictures taken during her acara;

Malam Bebadak 

must have picture: bapa pengantin is a Shawol ＼(^-^)／

 Nikah Day. 

and aku baru realized aku nada gambar time durang bebasuh kaki ਉ_ਉ

Sanding Reception at Faliq's side.

here's a bonus picture;

time bebadak punya 'door' gifts.

I heart them! ♥‿♥

Mula2 aku kana bagi warna purple (which is still my fav color, don't get me wrong) but since aku nmpk warna SHINee atu, aku (shamelessly) minta tukar. hahaha

but the perks of being the bestie of the pengantin, udah kan balik atu, I asked for each of the color. KEKEKEKE 

No hating please.

Here's where I put my pretty ornaments (actually filled with boiled egg xD)

kekeke

>‿‿◕

Once again, Tahniah and Selamat Pengantin Baru to you, Kuching (whose real name is really Liyana hehe) and Husband, Faliq. Semoga berkekalan (as per most Bruneian often posted) "until Jannah". Aminn~~

. . .

Day 6 Challenge; Fave Quote

I actually have many but this one has the most meaning to me. Beside the fact that it was actually Brian's (once a member of the boyband, Westlife) life motto. v(=∩_∩=)ﾌ

. . .

Officially Moved

Before

After

I'd be lying if I said I don't feel some kind of nostalgia during that final days of moving and clearing things away from the old house.
I mean, how can you not? I've lived there for almost 19 years! 

but new house feels so much better coz this is our real house now.

although I'm beginning to feel annoyed already
esp when I'm craving for a certain food and it's not a 5 mins drive away from my house ┐(‘～`；)┌ really a big adjustment for me. 

Lucky there is still internet connection here. 

If there was none, I don't know what I'd do. o(╥﹏╥)o

. . .

Day 5

. . .

Challenge Accepted

I was tagged by lovely Esma with this

I don't really "doodle" you see. As most of you know, I am more of a writer instead.

but I decided to give it a go. I know today is already Day 4, so I'm gonna post four "doodles" in this post.

and for the entire (hopefully) post in August, I'll be posting my random post and the doodle will end my post on each one.

that being said, lets get on to business!

Day 1:
Yourself

Day 2:
Something Yellow

Day 3:
Braid or Ponytail

Day 4:
Family

I know. my 'meticulous' side kicks in and I drew instead of doodling. LOL what is doodle anyway?

hahaha
