The sky over Phnom Penh last Thursday. Eerie, isn’t it?

I got home just in time.

Catching up on my dailies. I love the Koh-I-noor p Catching up on my dailies. I love the Koh-I-noor pen set that I bought together with my #hobonichicousin.The set has a blue water-based pen (yellow-blue body) and a torpedo eraser pen (white). I think the ink is nearly gone because I've been using this frequently 😏 I hope Koh-I-Noor will have it in black, too. @hobonichi_global #penhscript #journalling #hobonichiph #kohinoorhardtmuth #kohinoorpen #erasablepen #hobonichitecho #hobonichikh #lettering #handlettering #sreisaat #sreisaart #insidecambodia #cambodialife #livinginphnompenh #homelife #expatlife #expatincambodia
Wanted Imperial fighter pilots. Or, kahit na Yung Wanted Imperial fighter pilots. Or, kahit na Yung mga stormtroopers muna. The Imperial Tie Fighter is done, now I need the pilot! 😁 @thebrickkhlego *** When we were younger, we used to hear our parents say, "wait till your older". Now that I'm older... I can buy my own Lego blocks! 😂 Slowly, I will build my Star Wars universe in Lego! *evillaugh* *** I know, any six year old can assemble this in no time with eyes closed but playing with Lego was enjoyable, and listening to the Imperial march theme again after so many years brings back a lot of childhood memories. I remember my sister, Babygirl, and I going gaga over the battery-operated plastic light sabers Papa brought home one day, and how we and the other kids at Delos Reyes apartments in Angono paraded around the compound like a true Imperial army. Or stormtroopers, whatever was the consensus at that time of the day. We wore our Darth Vader masks and chased each other, brandishing the light sabers like the crazy-happy kids we were. I wonder where they are now, I can still remember their faces and their names - Kuya Joel, Alan, Olga, Jun-jun, Hershey, Boboy, Wilma, Kuya Jay, Marie Jean, and Bongbong. #nostalgia #mytoys #starwars #expatincambodia #cambodialife #livinginphnompenh #sreisaat #whatidowhennooneislooking

Flexing my 2022 monthly spreads on my #hobonichico Flexing my 2022 monthly spreads on my #hobonichicousin. Imagine, all of the written here are now memories! My spreads are not as pretty as the others I see online - but that's okay - I am me, and this is the way I use mine. There are times when I'm very diligent in embellishing the pages; other times, you can see how drab they are, that's how unapologetically lackadaisical I can be. #sreisaat #penhscript #hobonichiph #hobonichikh #journalling #insidecambodia #cambodialife #livinginphnompenh #sreisaart #whatidowhennooneislooking
Last night was super busy! I barely made it to my Last night was super busy! I barely made it to my Engrosser's script class, but still had enough time to prep. I made ink, using a store-bought walnut ink crystals, that I used during the session. We delved into uppercase letters and I asked my teacher, Hoang, for variations for letter "Z". It's not my favourite letter to write, but amongst the variations he showed me, I like the third one. What do you think? #whatidowhennooneislooking
My current #wip. I still have to add the colours My current #wip. I still have to add the colours before sending it to my dear friend. I just couldn't wait to post this. Last week, this treat landed in my hands, thanks to the wonderful people who kindly slipped this in their luggage and made sure it reached me. I wanted to write more, but I'd absolutely get sappy. This time, I think, it's best left unsaid, and the heart just knows. Thank you, Patty. @pattyschuster ❤️ #sreisaat #penhscript #sreisaart #cambodiacreatives #homelife #expatlife #expatincambodia #drawyourday #sketchjournal #journalling #watercolour #watercolourillustration #lifeiswhatwemakeit #whatidowhennooneislooking
The package from @hobonichitecho_official is here The package from @hobonichitecho_official is here - and it was delivered a day earlier than scheduled. Arigatou!! I'm so excited. Unlike the previous years, the items this year were not packed inside the official box, instead, everything was in the pouch including the box that was neatly folded (as you can see in the vid). So, technically, this is not an unboxing video. My friend @mrsjohndoug and I LOLed because we suspect Hobonichi is hinting at DIYing the box ourselves! 🤣Di bale, all items were in good condition naman, and that's what's important, di ba, mga seest? No ripped pages, no spilled inks, no signs of tampering, etc., etc. Happy-head here! You know now what my weekend will be like! ☺️ #hobonichi #hobonichitecho #sreisaat #penhscript #sreisaart #journalling #planner #journal #expatlife #expatincambodia #cambodialife #livinginphnompenh #expatlife #hobonichikh #hobonichiph #hobonichicousin
Late to the party, but hey, happy handwriting day! Late to the party, but hey, happy handwriting day! This is my "regular" handwriting, i.e. when I'm, not tired, not being lazy, and not in a rush 😁 It looked so much better when I was still in school, my old notebooks and penpals could attest to that. #handwriting #penmanship #handwritten #nationalhandwritingday #sreisaat #sreisaart #penhscript #cursive #arte
I went to the bank yesterday and made a quick trip I went to the bank yesterday and made a quick trip to O'Russey market, aka, Ali Baba's cave. Our admin assistant, who helped me with the bank transaction, had to pick up some supplies there so I went with her. O'Russey market is a cavernous three-story public market located not far from the more popular and touristy Psah Thmey (Central Market) along Monivong boulevard. Expats and tourists alike describe it as the local version of Ali Baba's cave - massive, dingy at times, and full of goods! Exploring O'Russey market requires the patience of a pilgrim and some nerves of steel. It's easy to get disoriented and get lost in this maze of stalls and the seemingly endless flow of comings and goings in every direction. There are many entrances/exits but finding your way out can be exhausting and frustrating (if your not an expert navigator like our admin assistant). 😁 However, I can assure you that you will be rewarded with a full sensory experience when you visit there! #insidecambodia #livinginphnompenh #cambodialife #expatlife #everydaycambodia #asianmarket #markets #goinglocal #travelcambodia
Just winging it today. Just winging it today.
It's been months since I last practiced Italics an It's been months since I last practiced Italics and now I've forgotten how. The forms and spacing are all over the place, my teacher would be dismayed. So now that I have a new pen after I broke the last one, I am keen to practice more. I am loving the calligraphy pen my friend @luiinpenh_ so kindly went out of her way to get me this set from @taipoz.shop while she's on holiday in VN.

It's my mother's birthday yesterday. She would've It's my mother's birthday yesterday. She would've been 69 years old. I miss Mama today, just like I do every day. To celebrate, I shared a simple lunch with my officemates yesterday - two of the food she liked! I also set aside some time last night to do the thing we used to do together, and that is writing. She taught me everything that involved writing - writing in cursive, letters to penpals, calligraphy, and more! And she had the most beautiful handwriting! She was taught the Palmer handwriting style as a pupil in a Catholic school back in the 60s. Thank you, Mama, for the good and beautiful things you passed on to me. You may be no longer with us but your birthday still belongs to you and I/we will continue to celebrate and honour you. Happy birthday ❤️❤️❤️ #sreisaat #sreisaart #penhscript #mymother #remembrance #insidecambodia #livinginphnompenh #expatlife #cambodialife #calligraphy #handwriting #watercolour #coliro
My Sip 'n Draw friends met at Pleng Chan Cafe a co My Sip 'n Draw friends met at Pleng Chan Cafe a couple of weeks ago for our bi-monthly art meet up. Can you guess which branch did we go from the sketch I made? Last photo for reference 😁 So I ordered one of their signature drinks, sro eam khiew kjey, a unique beverage available only at Pleng Chan Cafe. It's a heady combination of coffee, condensed milk, and matcha tea with ice that, up to now, I'm still confused at the taste. It was refreshing alright but left me with a lot of questions about the flavour 😁. My friend L and I also ordered lunch, bay srob, but it was disappointing. Anyway, the place is lovely though. The cafe is set in an old French colonial house decorated with books and other vintage ephemera. It has a garden seating that has a lot of natural light, perfect for sketching and painting. #sreisaat #penhscript #sreisaart #artjournalling #drawyourday #watercolourillustration #watercolour #fineliner #journalling #hobonichitecho #hobonichiuserph #hobonichiuserkh #hobonichicousin #cafehunting #cafefood #eatsphnompenh #coffee #cambodia #cambodialife #livinginphnompenh #expatincambodia #homelife #expatlife #sketchjournal #urbansketching #streetviewphnompenh #streetviews #lifeiswhatwemakeit #whatidowhennooneislooking
