Rapel: facing the fear of heights

I am afraid of heights but here I am conquering it. My brother told me I turned pale while rapelling down and that may prove it, I HAVE FEAR OF HEIGHTS! Anyway, I made it unscathed and still breathing.

portrait

to draw someone is to use some of my time

i can see the flaw and the beauty in every line

i see past you that most people failed to see

my art is realism... imperfections fascinate me

i express thru it though i may not be very good

it is fueled by inspiration and is driven by mood

i've been doing charcoal portraits of people including myself..

now i wonder how does it feel to have one done by others?

himihikbi

sa sulok ng bintana maaaninag

ang bagyong tinatago ng liwanag

unti unti matutulala ang mundo

hindi alam kung saan patutungo

sapilitan ang kurba'y iuukit

habang humihikbi ang langit

bubuhos ang ulan

makukubli ang daan
