Royalty

royalty

I’ve always viewed myself as a small slow turtle because people like my dad and my friends called me slow when I was a child, so I believed them. But one day when I grew up, I realized that those were all lies, I’m just misunderstood. I’m actually a genius of my own category that most people can’t understand. But above all, I have royalty running through my blood. How dare anyone call me slow!  Do you know who I am? I saw a turtle sitting high up on a high bamboo chair with a giant crown burning like blazing fire.… Read the rest

Intertwined

interwined

I am a product of a mom and a dad, their genes are intertwined in my DNA. Growing up, I had a false belief that I am half good / half bad because I believed that my mom is good and my dad is bad. I’ve always struggled with the fear that one day my bad side would completely take over me, but those thoughts are lies which I now can discredit. I can’t change the fact that I am a child of my mom and dad. But my actions, thoughts, belief, and happiness are a choice. The voices that tells me that “I can’t do it” are the voices of demons.… Read the rest

“All You Need Is Love”

There’s a book that I like called 5 Love Languages (amazon.com). The book basically says that there are 5 general categories of love.

1.) physical affirmation
2.) words of affirmation
3.) quality time
4.) gifts

The way we receive can be different from the ones we need. For me, I like giving “words of affirmation” and like receiving “physical affirmation”. I least like receiving “gifts” and least like giving “act of service”. The way we give and receive is very important, it’s like breathing “carbon” when we actually need “oxygen”.… Read the rest

Chip

When my little brother was in 5th grade he liked a girl. He confessed to the girl through AIM that he liked her. Next day at school he was too embarrassed to talked to her. In 6th grade the girl started to like my brother but he stopped liking her, but they were still friends. One day she told my brother that she’s moving away to another country, so she asked him to take care of her beloved Chip, a Parakeet bird. My brother came home, asked if we can have a bird, and we said “yes”. I was excited to meet our new bird.… Read the rest

Ironman

ironman

I drew this when the first Iron Man movie came out in theaters. During that time I was building my first facebook application called MBTypes. By the time I finished designing and programing the application, I was really sick of programing and technology and such. I drew this to commemorate Iron Man and my experience of building my first facebook application.

Here’s the app I built in 2008.. It’s a Myers Briggs [wiki] embed quiz with a database that connects all your friends and sorts it by the types and shows the statistics of your friends. Check it out:
