&lt;p&gt;To Mama:&lt;br/&gt;I may not have understood the things you did for me as a child, and back then, I never really thanked you. Though it’s a bit late:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Thank you very much, Mama!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don’t think I don’t appreciate what you’ve done..&lt;br/&gt;Because of you, I’m still alive and doing good.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I drew this for my mom with the message quoted above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;See, whenever I was sick, my mom would make me hot chocolate and oatmeal porridge with evaporated milk and sugar. When they’re prepared, she calls me and I’ll just eat. I remember her giving me a kiss on my temple. I didn’t really feel her love back then, but now that I’m older, it leaves me teary-eyed to know that it was already her unconditional love.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love you, Ma! Don’t ever think that I don’t.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;… Damn ninjas cutting onions. :’|&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/22910655437</link><guid>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/22910655437</guid><pubDate>Sun, 13 May 2012 01:02:09 +0800</pubDate><category>Pencil</category><category>Mother's Day</category><category>Art</category><category>Drawing</category></item><item><title>For Lent.

I drew this while I was in Australia for about an hour, and then colored for another hour. Took a picture with my phone, and then put it up on my computer. The quality wasn’t really that good, so I improved some shading and colors with Photoshop for another half an hour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was the best I could make it at the time.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;I drew this for my officemate, &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Miss Rachel. She requested me to draw for her report on Japanese Idioms.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt; I also drew 4 other Japanese-Idiom-inspired drawings. I’ll be posting them up one by one. ;)&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/13277245730</link><guid>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/13277245730</guid><pubDate>Fri, 25 Nov 2011 08:50:00 +0800</pubDate><category>Art</category><category>Ink</category><category>colored pencils</category><category>Japanese Idiom</category></item><item><title>Got bored.

&lt;p&gt;The air conditioner near my cube isn’t always on. But even if it’s up, it’s only on fan-mode.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Well, this is an exaggeration of how it really is. It’s still quite cool in the office. I’m just the sweaty type, so it sucks!&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/11096270121</link><guid>http://www.dru-ing.com/post/11096270121</guid><pubDate>Thu, 06 Oct 2011 17:50:40 +0800</pubDate><category>Pencil</category><category>Ink</category><category>Situation</category></item><item><title>I feel bad.

Dru: Tagpila ang usa ka kilo? (How much for one kilo?)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Tindero: &lt;states amount&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Dru: Aw, sige, bale napulo lang. (Oh, okay, 10 kilos then.)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Tindero: &lt;After weighing 10 kilos worth, the tindero found there were still 2 other native durians remaining.&gt; Paliti na lang sad ni sila sir. (Buy these too, sir.)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Dru: (Awkwardly turning down the offer) Aw kanang, ako sa nang huna-hunaon ha? (Oh uhh, I'll think about that first, ayt?)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
Tindero: Mangluod ni sila kay gibiyaan nimo sila. (They'll sulk coz you left them.)&lt;br /&gt;&#13;
