I would've entitled this post Meet My Man for the sake of creating an alliteration but I digress -- given that human hobbies, in my own everday runway, are passé.
Anyhoo, I have re-kindled the flame with this old fling which I haven't put into good use for about two years. This, I made on an ambiguous night of mixed passions when words seemed to have escaped me. How it happened was rather traditional. Nope, I was not in front of my computer. Rather, what I had in front was a clean sheet of letter-sized paper and a newly-sharpened Mongol # 2. Driven by whatever it was that robbed me of words, I was able to etch something out of memory in just about 45 minutes!
It was right then and there that I decided to revive this old fling.
I went to see my girl friend Cat for an advice. Of course, she was happy about it. She showed me my options: there was Cretacolor in Sketch Books, Greenbelt and another one called Derwent in National Bookstore. After a few weeks of trying to tame my fickle mind, I finally decided to go to Sketch Books Greenbelt and buy myself the 10-piece Cretacolor Graphite Set and a brand nes sketch pad.
I was in love.
I went to Coffee Bean to catch up with my expecting friend Jen. I tried to copy her mood out of graphite pencils (which I did not really know how to use) while she was giving me an account of her recent frustrations. (I will upload the sketch probably over the weekend.)
I was then surprised when this kinda hot (though not my type) half Italian-looking guy (with semi-long hair -- like a bit below his ears, not gross goatie and sideburns) from the other table came over to compliment my drawing.
Nah, it wasn't a pick-up line. But hey, it was a TWO for the ego -- not that I need both :p
