Singing praises and worshiping God together. ♥
I love Sundays because it’s a time when we get to thank God and praise God together for the wonderful things He’s done (and is still doing!) in our lives! I cannot praise God enough for everything.
Drew this for my love last week because he was sick and I missed him and I remembered this and I missed him more. Ew, cheesy! Haha! I’m not always like this. Don’t judge me.
I was asked to give a talk at the Ateneo de Manila University on September 13 for YFC! I’m really excited about this talk because I’ll be sharing about serving God through illustrating and designing. I feel very honored to have been invited. Thank you. ♥
Venue is still TBA but it starts at 4:30pm. Will keep you guys posted. Hope to see you there! Would love to meet you all. Who can make it? :)
This is the second time that I got invited to speak, but the first time I’d be doing this alone, so I’m still very nervous! Haha! (First time was for this, with Mark Gosingtian.) Please pray for me, thank you!

Being familiar with the Word of God will equip you to fight against the attacks of the enemy. Jesus was the perfect example for this. When He was tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11), Jesus’ sole weapon was the Word. He quoted from scriptures to counter Satan’s lies.
Similarly, we are called to fight the good fight and though it might seem impossible, we can overcome and finish well by God’s amazing grace. ♥
Remember I mentioned that I was making a photobook of our Holy Land Trip last April? Guess what, it’s the end of August already and I still haven’t finished it! Gah! So I’m finally trying my best to make time for it. I’ve done 6 out of 20 spreads. 14 more to go…
My very first backpacking trip ever: Fenghuang, Hunan, China (05/2009)
15 hour train ride (one way!) + 5 other friends = 1 big adventure! Fenghuang is a place frequently visited by Chinese locals but not by foreigners, which is why hardly anyone spoke any English, but thankfully, we were with a friend who’s fluent so praise God. Haha. We had no reservations, no itinerary, no plans, no everything! It was one of the best experiences of my life!
It was also, truly one of the most beautiful places I’ve been to. It’s like a mini village stuck in the past. Simple, charming and nostalgic. It’s my kind of place. We took a boat ride, hiked the White Cloud Mountain, visited a rice wine maker’s house, drank rice wine, ate a lot of spicy food, made friends, wore tacky costumes, lit paper flowers and participated in a cultural show.
Someday I would like to go continue backpacking around China. There are just so many things to see and so places to go to! If you get the chance, try visiting Fenghuang. If you wanna know more about the place, read this short article and research more on Google. You’ll find some really good stuff.
And if you visit, please buy dried kiwis for me.
I was posing, and then the cage wobbled and I was so scared and apparently this is how my face looks like when I’m absolutely terrified. This really was a candid shot. And I am sharing this because I’m lame.
Less than two weeks til’ our Vietnam Adventure and our itinerary’s all set! This also means I have less than two weeks to decide if I should finally get that SB-400 speedlight. Yay! I can’t wait to travel and get lost again!
Oh, the places you’ll go! There is fun to be done! There are points to be scored. There are games to be won. (Dr. Seuss)
You have stolen my heart. ♥
Commissioned artwork for Janina Santos of her and her boyfriend. You can see the original photo and read about their really cute story by clicking here!
I am currently on a break from doing commissions (tentatively!), but if you’re also interested to have your own personalized artwork, feel free to email me at sheenasy@yahoo.com and we can discuss the rates and time frame.
First of all I’d like to say, HAPPY MONTHSARY BABY! Usually I bake your favorite desserts or give you a cute shirt for our monthsary, this time I’ll be giving you something extra special. *Taran!*
Do you recognize the characters in the picture? If not, do not continue reading this message. :| Just kidding! Haha. This drawing was actually patterned out from this original photo….
Now, do you remember? :) This is my favorite photo of ours because I find it sweet and memorable. This was actually taken last summer in Kodak Theater, Hollywood :)
I can still recall what happened that night! It was 10:30 in the evening and my family and I accidentally drove by to Hollywood to meet some old friends. Then during that time, you and your family were in Downtown L.A., knowing that, I immediately called you and asked where your hotel is. I was very much surprised to hear that you were just 5 blocks away from us! Though it was freaking cold outside, you still walked wearing that thin sweater of yours just to see me. ♥
I am terribly blessed to have someone like you in my life. Since day one, you always make me laugh with your jokes na benta sa akin. And until now, you still manage to do so. Thank you for always being my ever-supportive bestfriend and very loving boyfriend. Just remember, no matter what happens you’ll forever be in my ♥ (Awwww, ang drama noh? Uyyy teary-eyed na siya. Nyahahaha)
Again, HAPPY 11TH MONTHSARY and I LOVE YOU! :*
Such a sweet couple with a very cute story! Had the privilege of drawing for them! I made a cartoon version of their favorite photo and I had such a fun time. Wish you guys all the best!
I am currently on a break from doing commissions (tentatively!), but if you’re also interested to have your own personalized artwork, feel free to email me at sheenasy@yahoo.com and we can discuss the rates and time frame. ♥
By the way, thank you very much Sheena for creating such pretty artwork! I read from one of your posts that you’ll not be doing any freelance work for the next couple of months, and I’m so happy that I still made it in your list! Also, thank you for sending me those cute bookmarks! :D Keep up the good work and more power! ;)
It was an honor to draw for such a sweet couple! Glad you like the free extra stuff! Hee! ♥
Dinner with friends at the very pretty Cafe Juanita (Pasig branch)
Second time here (photos from first visit over here) and I still love it. What I love most about this place is that there are so many pretty things all over and the experience is always different, depending on where you’re seated. Last time we sat upstairs. This time we sat at the main floor.
And the reason why I could never be a food blogger is because I go to a restaurant, take lots of photos of everything, but the food. I just eat the food and I seldom remember. Very bad! Haha. But Cafe Juanita food is really really good. Particularly loved the kare-kare.
And like I mentioned before, all the displays are for sale. Pretty cool, yes?
