ever since i was a kid, i always loved hanging around in bookstores. i'd especially take a lot of time roaming around the school supplies section and pick out crayons, colored pens, colored markers, paintbrushes, palettes, gel pens, charcoal pencils, etc. etc.

i never really drew or painted seriously--except when i was in 3rd and 4th year highschool. i had a visual arts elective and we were coerced to paint/draw. just kidding, it was kinda fun. plus we got to take home everything in the VA room because we thought that our teacher was resigning...but that's another story...
i know some of my contacts here can relate. (HAHAHA)

okay, i kinda remembered joining art contests when i was in elementary. i could say now that my skill hasn't changed since then. hahaha!

the other day i felt the sudden urge to buy new pens for my new planner. it's been a long time since i actually bought school supplies. i miss painting and drawing and being coerced to do so. time is such a luxury for me nowadays. i miss studying and going to workshops and "art club" where we'd do something new every meeting. gawd. am i really that old that i start reminiscing each and every time? lol. happy twenteenth to me. forgive me for this pointless entry.
