<html> <h1>What I've been up to.</h1> <p>...not that you're going to be interested. I mean, among the hundreds of thousands of Steemit users, I'm probably just a speck of dust loitering aimlessly. But then again, this is my feed and I get to do what I want to (insert sadistic and smug grin here).</p> <p><center>https://steemitimages.com/DQmQFXyQCVnJ8PdfuECNSW2fBsHgAPetTp49nPu3FW9m8RA/unnamed.jpg<br><i>The painting that inspired me last weekend. <a href="http://www.beatifullandscape.co/painting-landscapes-in-watercolor/">Image Source</a></i></center></p> <h1>New hobby</h1> <p>Last weekend, I finally got to buy a watercolor set! Hoorah!</p> <p><div class="pull-left">https://steemitimages.com/DQmTqv74P8QPEVfNapCDmyc6Yog25D9VmriuBLuEvMrMtMP/IMG20180224182837.jpg</div></p> <p>My friend Noimi has been bugging me to paint for her a bookmark since two years ago. I have never taken painting seriously; I only ever did it in passing (school activities, occasional contests...). </p> <p>Before the year ended, I swore I was going to learn watercolor. Armed with a Christmas present from Noimi -- a watercolor pad, btw -- and my brand new student-grade, 16-color watercolor, I decided to give it a try! At 7 PM last Saturday! (I know, I have a bad habit of getting to work at night).</p> <p>Like most of my other works, this one's incomplete. I've been basing it off a watercolor painting I'd seen online.</p> <p>I think the best way for me to learn watercolor painting is actually learning by example. Of course, I got discouraged by the lack of resemblance between my work and the original one, but I promise to make a painting as good as that one in the future!</p> <h1>New crush</h1> <p>Remember that crush post? Yes, the illustrated story one. Nope, not gonna link it here! And DON'T EVEN THINK OF LINKING IT IN THE COMMENTS SECTION, GOT IT?</p> <p>(I'm seriously regretting posting that story here OML).</p> <p>I've gotten over ex-crush (I know!!! Shallow hehe) and am now crushing on someone else -- a South Korean someone else!</p> <p>https://steemitimages.com/DQmNekixqAVCkGZUxdAK4pt5ZTCcYhzWxTzWJBSL7GmdbSw/Screenshot_2018-02-27-20-29-49-14.png<br><i>He is such a cutie, I swear!</i></p> <p><div class="pull-right">https://steemitimages.com/DQmfVBQsKDQwJCLswwowTzTg8bJuNv3YHdCuFePFTKWbXzS/IMG20180227163246.jpg</div></p> <p>I even sketched him at work today, while waiting for time to pass by faster because I was badly bored to death (now playing: blink-182's <a href="https://youtu.be/lic0oCDMfwk"><em>Bored to Death</em></a>). </p> <p>How I came to crush on this guy?</p> <p>Because of this song, which happened to be a song he wrote! Also, his voice captured my heart from the get-go (he sang the first lines) -- it was very cute and boyish! And gosh, he's got talent in writing songs. I'm seriously shaken. </p> <p>https://youtu.be/vecSVX1QYbQ</p> <p>Granted, the song was simple and rather "chill," but it didn't stop the last song syndrome to hit me right in the head! He's been writing songs for his group, <a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IKon_(South_Korean_band)">iKON</a>, since they first debuted in the entertainment industry, and boy was he so talented.</p> <p>(You bet I watched too many videos with him in it.)</p> <p>https://youtu.be/ZS6vfv4sszg</p> </html>
