About Me: Part I

My name is Sheena and I love sunsets.

I'm Sheena and I'm an artist and I draw about love.

Apart from sunsets, I also love drawing, traveling, listening to music, reading non-fiction books, staring outside airplane windows, happy things, sad songs, swing sets, subway rides, rainy days and of course, summer skies.

When I was younger, I wanted to be a stewardess so that I could fly. Now that dream has been reduced to just wanting to fly.

About Me: Part II

Because people sometimes ask for official information (aka the really boring stuff).

Why, yes, This is my serious photograph.

Sheena Kristen Sy
Birthday: 07/31/1988
Location: Manila
Occupation: Student

My favorite color is pink. My favorite books are The Little Prince and The Alchemist. My favorite movie is Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain (which is just Amelie in English) My favorite singer is Rachael Yamagata. My favorite band is Mayday Parade. My favorite actress is Keira Knightley. I have no favorite actor.

I am a senior Management student at the Ateneo de Manila University. I am very excited to graduate. I dream of someday working for either Lonely Planet, National Geographic or Disney. If all else fails, I will just freelance and open my own shop (which will probably look very much like an offline version of this Tumblr)

And I find it funny that you just read useless information about me!

About This Page

I love everything that has to do with love. I love drawing about love. I love listening about love. I love watching about love. I love love.

I love the kind of love that makes you want to write songs and cry and cartwheel all at the same time. I love the kind of love that's nostalgic and full of memories; the kind of love that has a smell and a sound and a taste.

This blog is about childhood dreams, traveling, pretty things and that specific kind of love. So sit back, enjoy and let the memories flow in.

I Love These People!









I shall be adding more pictures soon!

Quotes I like

"Apart from Him, I can do nothing... but I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
(John 15:5, Philippians 4:13)

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised."
(Proverbs 31:30)

"All you've got to do is decide to go and the hardest part is over. So go!'
(Tony Wheeler)

I love books!

I Love These Songs!

ADVENTURE IS OUT THERE! Featuring today’s best find!
So I was at the kiddie stationery station buying school supplies for the kids at the area we visited last weekend (because I plan to go back and give them Christmas gifts) when I saw THIS and in those 5 seconds, I knew I was in love.
Up is one of my super favorite films because it’s Pixar, it’s Disney and it’s about LOVE AND TRAVEL! It’s all my favorite things in one. THE TIN PENCIL CASE IS MY FAVORITE! Hee! ♥
I don’t think I have to describe the look on my mom’s face when she saw me holding it (while I explained to her how awesome the set really is.)

I just found out that someone broke my tea mug.

It was a fat, red Starbucks mug. I am so sad. So I’m off to buy a new one this afternoon and I’m not going to stop until I find a really really good one.

Debating whether I should get a mug or a tumbler.

The stickers she gave me :(

When we were about to leave, a little girl came up to me, shyly gave me a folded paper and said it was for me from her. She wasn’t one of the kids I stayed with nor was she one of those who I played a lot with so I was surprised.

When I opened the paper, it was full of stickers. They don’t get to buy a lot of stickers over there so I know it was special. I was so touched. :(

Just wanted to share some pictures from my immersion trip.

FORMSPRING: This is a bit long!

hi sheena. i followed you kanina. your drawings are really nice. romantic but not cheesy. :) keep it up. God bless you. -Lissa
Thanks Lissa! I’m glad you like it like that! God bless.

Have fun on your trip. [: Hope it’d bring you inspiration for your next drawing. Be watching them! *winks Bless You.
Back from my trip and it was amazing! God opened my eyes to many things! As for inspiration, haha, we’ll see!

Heyy ! I loooovee your drawings. Your ideas are great. [: I saw the picture of your room. It’s sooo nice. :D I like that you have a clock for London and New York. Your drawings are  so freaking awesome ! HAHA.
Heey! Thank you so much! Happy you like my room too (the part that you saw at least haha! As for the clocks, glad you like! The London one’s pretty useless though (I just look at the NY one because it’s the same as Manila’s, 12 hour difference)

Did you make your theme? How did you make two columns (one for each side) ?
I used Hunson’s theme, one of the most basic themes in Tumblr and I just fiddled with the html stuff so that I can place a lot of things there. (You can check the bottom of my page for a link to the theme)

i love your drawings! please make more? ;;D
Thank you and I shall try my best of course! :D

you’re amazing! i’m your new follower btw :]] (richelleann)
You’re pretty amazing yourself! And thanks for following! :)

Hi Ate Sheena, I just wanted to say that I think you are awesome. Your drawings and digital art are awesome too. I’m actually striving to be as good as you are in drawing. I’m not trying to copy you. You and your drawings just motivate and inspire me. :D :D :D -Chelli/ @hihidoodley :)
Hi Chelli! Thanks for the kind words! Keep on drawing and I’m pretty sure you’ll get pretty good in no time. I’m really honored that my works somehow motivate and inspire you. I’m privileged to have that honor :)

What are the things that remind you of LOVE?

Mine are squeaky swings, raindrops and pretty moonlit skies.

Three Cheers for Five Years by Mayday Parade.
I just realized that at least half the drawings in my Soundtrack of My Summer series are inspired by Mayday Parade songs. Which isn’t really a bad thing. I think.

OKAY, I'm back to posting things about love.

Not because I’m better and not because I’m in love or whatever, but because I realized that the world is so extremely jaded and people need a little romance and inspiration every once in a while. I try my best to help.

So here’s to hugging more, kissing more and loving more.

(Just came home from a 3-day weekend spent with the less fortunate and I can’t tell you how blessed I was. Life is amazing in more ways than one. And I’ll be answering your formspring messages in a little while. Love you all ♥)

FORMSPRING: I'll be gone for the weekend!

Hi people, I’ll be gone for the weekend, as I’m going on an immersion trip (required by the Ateneo!) I’m pretty excited! But this means no drawings or whatevers for three days! I don’t want to queue things so that also means, bye bye Tumblarity! Not that it was ever a friend anyway! (I just kiiiid)

Would be perfect if you could leave me messages while I am away!

Hi Sheena! I’m following you like some time already. And gosh, I really really admire your drawing. You’re so blessed. By the way, I wanted to know how you put information on your sidebars. I am using the same theme you have. And I’ve been figuring out how to add information on the sidebars. Especially on the right side. Sorry for bothering you Sheena. I’m quite desperate to know how to fix my tumblr site. God bless you dear. I look forward for your kind reply. Thank you in advance. :) -Cara
Hi Cara what I did was just to click customize>theme and then i fiddled with the html. Haha! Attempt trial and error and you’ll eventually be able to edit it the way you want to. Let me know if you’re successful! I’ll try to help you more if this doesn’t do it. Thank you for your kind words also!

I so love your drawings. Makes me feel like to doodle (not good at it though) myself! Haha. Followed you, btw. —Jenny<3
Hi Jenny! You should doodle! Heheee! Thank you so much for the support!

hi Sheena! :D just wanted to let you know i love all your drawings, especially the ones with song lyrics. definitely gotta go get some of these songs ^^ your style is so cute~! keep up the awesome work, you totally inspire me to draw more [even though i still need lots of work :P]!
Hi! Thanks so much for dropping me a note! I’m really honored that I’ve inspired you in some way. Just keep on drawing! I hope to see your work soon! :)

The best thing about my insanely poor memory

… is that I end up not remembering what happens in movies I’ve already seen. Or how my favorite books end. Unless I’ve seen (/read) them for the hundredth time. Which never really happens. So I’m always very, VERY surprised.

Thank you God.

>To themorninglight and swillmerchant and Diana Dyhianto (because I know you read this Tumblr even though you don’t have one haha!): I can’t wait to watch Love Actually *for the one thousandth time because I watch it every holiday season* with you guys! Let’s do it sooper soooon!

9 December 09

For the sake of my own sanity, I will not post anything love-related for a while.

I’m sorry if this disappoints you. I just really need to distract myself. Will be back with all the love stuff soon.

Yes, that&#8217;s Moses and the Israelites, Sheena-style. Hee. ♥
Quite possibly my favorite verse as of the moment. It&#8217;s been giving me hope. This is the first time I drew something from the Bible. I&#8217;m going to print this and stick this on my cork board so that I&#8217;m always reminded.
