So I got a lot of watchers following me because of my anime-ish style of drawing this past few years keh-keh.
            

But I kinda got interested in photography


And some graphic design especially typography (pardon ze bookish fandom :> )
        



and then lately I am exploring the world of digital drawing! yeeeyyy! )

         

AND MORE TO COME
I quite like how I explore all the artistic sides of me. I never even knew I can do portraits until I tried doing one out of boredom


I am also doing some infographics. I find I enjoy doing them using Photoshop. Photoshop is my new bestfriend. I thought for forever we'd be nemesis but in the end I guess we just have a love-hate relationship hahaha!

I am also thinking of digital comics/manga hmmm. I hope inspiration will come my way ^_^

Anyways, I am very inspired do some more explorations You should too! In the past, I thought I would just be sitting in front of my computer gazing at really really talented artists never doing any of what they can-- animation, for instance. It helps to remember that confinement is not in any artist's dictionary. Only mountains to cross over ^_^. 

"Death cannot hold me down"



Some people might get confused by this because it is conventional that life begins at birth and ENDS with death. We also sometimes find ourselves thinking,

<sub>"What will happen to me when I die?

Will I turn into a frog or something?

What if I've already spent this life before and this is just some kind of a second cha--"</sub>

Well hold that thought!

Let's go back to question number one: What will happen to me when I die? What indeed? What can be behind this mysterious phenomenon when some people even consider this as a wonderful phase as if welcoming death as that of a friend?

_{indeed, a friend?}

There is always light waiting at the end of a dark tunnel.
There is always a rainbow after the rain.
There is no fruit with effortless work.

In order to experience joy, there are countless obstacles to hold us off therefore making that goal even more precious.

_Precious...?

yes...and meaningful.

_{and...meaningful.}

Death is not some scary, dark cloaked creature with a scythe that is usually perceived.
It can actually be seen as a...portal.
A portal to God's kingdom wherein a great reunion is waiting for us.

For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John3:16 niv)

eternal life.

_{a life after death.}

And all you have to do is accept God's hand and keep Jesus in your heart.
Keep Him close because He will never,

ever,

ever let you go.

Because you are loved!

With God always beside you, what can happen? surely, death is nothing.
Surely, death is bearable when you know what's waiting for you out there...
Surely, surely...

_{Surely death cannot hold me down.}



I myself was once...confused.
Asking a lot of questions that ended up annoying people.
I was messed up.

You can say I was lost.
But at last.

My years of journey in the dark tunnel, I've finally seen the little light that continuously comforted me all along though I never noticed...
keeping me warm...
leading me to the right path...
keeping my hope growing...
keeping my faith growing...

It was there and I never ever took notice of it.
I took it for granted.
Still, it kept me warm.
It kept me alive.



And now, that I am aware of this ball of light, I felt so lifted, I feel so lifted!
I feel as if...
_{...as if I was set free.}

free.
and loved

as if I can do anything! No obstacle or problem will be given to me, to us by the Lord which is unsolvable because...

All things work together in Christ, our Lord

So let us not loose hope.

Let us pray more.
LIVE more.
LOVE more.

Believe more.
Trust more.

Someday, we will reach the end of our dark tunnels.
Someday, we can finally rest peacefully with the Lord by our sides.
Someday we will be greeted by the Lord Himself!

and is it not wonderful that someday He may pat us on the back and say...

"Well done."

Hey guys! I am so back! Back in action with my pencil at the ready to make deviations!

ANYWAYS. Im really excited to watch Hunger Games on the big screen! >w< I want to see how Katniss and Peeta be portrayed :3 Weee. And there are so much action in the book that i can't begin to imagine which led me to yearn for the movie and now that it's now showing here in the Philippines, i can't just pass up the chance to see it in the Cinema!



I even wanted to enroll in Archery class for my P.E. class next semester! That is how the book really affected me even though im not a die-hard fan...well, at least not yet? haha.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________


This, for me, is the most beautiful moment in the book >_<. That's the part when i can't control my tears anymore. waaaa. So please movie- hunger games: Don't ruin this moment for me and all other fans XD

I also think the Safe and Sound song of Taylor Swift is kinda like Rue's lullaby
Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone. Gone.
ToT waaaa. so beautiful ^___^

Anyone who share my love for this book and song?
<3 michi
