Last March 4, 2015, me and my hubby celebrated our 7th anniversary. We were supposed to be going out on a date or vacation in a resort but the week before that, I was admitted to the hospital and was diagnosed with bronchial asthma. Due to my health condition, we couldn't proceed with the plan. I can't also file a leave of absence because I have already had my sick leave taken a whole week before that. It was a bit disappointing because we had planned about that for months and it would turn out like that. So I worked on that day as usual, and my hubby went to process his papers in the city hotel he was having an internship for.

Afternoon came and there I saw my hubby at the gate entrance bringing a gift wrapped in red. I was sure it was for me, I just didn't expect that he would give me one. So he told me to open it and "you must use it tonight, okay?" So I thought he must be giving me a lingerie set? HAHAHA! But when I shook the box, it sounded hard like inside was a book or album, so I'm guessing it was a book. He was grinning widely and said that I should open it fast. He was taking a video of me the whole time while grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Words hardly came into my mouth as I gasped at the marvelous thing wrapped inside that gift. It was a drawing pad. A Wacom Intuos Manga that I've been dreaming of acquiring since high school. I was really surprised in seeing that. He made my dream come true. He believed in my talent. And for that, I will forever be grateful for him. He supported me even though he was constantly criticizing my drawings haha, that idiot. What a tsundere. Pssh.

And I thought that this is really worth a time in my blog because the effort he took for saving up the money to buy for this gadget. He has little for himself yet he thought of my welfare first. How many men are like that out there? It's a rare catch. I'm really feeling lucky to have him in my life.♥

By the way, I don't put my works/doodles in this blog, so I'll just let you peak some of them below. I'm not that good but I'm getting at it... I'm practicing and learning new tricks. The photos below are all done using Adobe Photoshop + Mouse. I drew them first in the paper, then I scanned them and traced them in Photoshop.

Tried speedpainting for the 1st time. Time: 45mins.
