To save money and save space at home, I promised myself not to buy anything - from all kinds of paper products to coloring pens to accessories. But...
Last Saturday, I dropped by at papemelroti, my favorite shop at SM Fairview. I just wanted to see what's new and borrow some of their artistic ideas.
I entered the familiar place and soon a phrase struck me: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Wow! I wanted to buy the poster but I know I shouldn't. Nabasa ko na, okay na yun. Aalalahanin ko n a lang. I browsed books and read their titles. Hmm interesting. Kaso mahal at saka marami pa akong libro sa bahay na hindi nababasa. Keri. I gazed at their cute handicrafts. Hmp, gagawa rin ako niyan balang araw! There, I had just convinced myself that I need not buy any of those items. :)
I walked to another shelf and found planners. Oh, planners, I think I can make them myself. Gagawa na lang ako, yung swak pa sa akin. Haha. Then stickers, sus! I still have lots of them. Aanhin ko naman ang maraming stickers? Bookmarks. Oh, I think I'm done with bookmarks. Or not. Basta, hindi na muna talaga ako bibili ng kahit ano. Kahit bookmark pa ya n!
Last on the shelf were postcards. It was my first time to see a pape postcard... Oooh... awesome! Ang ganda! Nakaka-inlove. <3 Nakaka-inspire! Gusto kong bilhin!! But I can't. I shouldn't. I need to save money. That's what I thought... but not for long. Hoho. Just a few seconds later, I found myself choosing which postcards to buy! HAHAHA. I can't resist this feeling.
I need these postcards for inspiration.

Hahahahahaha. Palusot pa. Pero seryoso, pakiramdam ko nagniningning ang mga mata ko habang pinagmamasdan ang mga postcards na yun. Lalo na yung unang postcard na nakita ko. (Kaso hindi pa yun naka-post sa postcards ng papelmeroti kaya hindi ko maipakita sa inyo.)
Sa postcard, may isang manipis na puno sa gitna at dalawang taong nakasandal sa magkabilang side ng puno. Nagbabasa sila ng libro. Tapos, nakasulat sa espasyo sa kaliwa: Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Sa kanan naman: Live the life you have imagined. Hihi. Kinilig ako. Thank you Lord sa libreng pamasahe ko papuntang SM, may naipambili tuloy ako. Hehe. :)
Bumili rin ako ng Book of Days.
Haay. Sakay ng bus, pauwi, iniisip ko yung postcards. Ini-imagine ko na rin yung mga artworks kong hanggang ngayon e isip ko pa lang ang nakakakita. Pero malapit ko na sigurong magawa yun. Gusto ko, square din ang gagawin kong art. Tama. Mag-stick pa rin ako sa plano kong cut-out paintings. Ang tema ng mga gagawin ko lagi ay hope. Yung nakaka-inspire, gaya ng postcards na binili ko. Kung paano ako na-inspire nung postcards, gusto kong ganun din ma-inspire ang mga taong makakakita sa cut-out paintings ko. Haay. Yes! Thank you Lord sa talent, sa postcards, sa inspirasyon, sa art. Salamat po! :D
