    ShitMyMomSays: By Popular Demand: Texts from My Mom

    shitmymomsays0:

    Pls remember 1 million kids aborted in US every year, their mothers have all the same thing in common. They did not think of the consequences of sex outside marriage. don’t be one of them.

    I was not able to sleep last night thinking how u can avoid sin & self destruction. Ride a taxi and go to amtrak to home now.

    where r u now? don’t sleep. don’t trust anyone except God and family. always get ready and think how to defend urself.

    …

    DEAR GOD. :)) My parents are pretty cool but I know some Filipino mothers who would text like this. Godspeed, anon.

    Anonymous asked: No question for you, really. I just wanted to say I think you're really talented. :)

    Thanks, babycakes! Very sweet of you. ;)

    No question, though? I have a question! “Kitkat, would you ever give up your design skills for anything? If so, what?”

    Thanks for the question, self. Actually, yes I would! I would exchange my design skills for:

    1. A killer voice so I could be a rock star, dress up for Coachella and Lolla, and receive love letters and stalker emails from my legions of followers.
    2. Tickets and a rocket ride to one of the “billions of habitable planets” that are within the Milky Way.

    In my family, we sacrifice animals to appease the wild god Pan and to ensure a good harvest. In their honor, the good deity raises flowers in their image at the ground where they were slain. I’m obviously kidding. I have no idea what this thing is but it’s growing in my tita’s backyard and it has fiercer and more luxurious hair than I do. That is a cactus with sass.

    Anonymous asked: I've been one of your silent readers and biggest fans ever since--and would like to keep it that way coz I'm still so shy to introduce myself. (We've crossed paths in Ateneo a couple of times already teehee.) Just want to let you know that I think of you when I chance upon tribal-printed items and how much that (and you!) amazes me. Stay awesome. <3

    Hi babycakes. Thank you so much! I love colors! I would eat them if I could (except for gray, I’m sure that would taste bland and require a dash of purple).

    I wish that you introduced yourself because I’m a fan of my fans (!). If we ever cross paths again, say “hello” and we can have a bright, riotous, and slightly awkward 3-minute getting-to-know-you. It will also reassure me that all these shy anons aren’t really just one person mysteriously and repeatedly reaffirming his/her/its love for me (although that would also be interesting).

    Anyway, readers, if you ever introduce yourselves to me, I promise to be kind and to compliment your outfit. 

    PS: I promise to stay awesome. Magnificent, even. ;)

    Telling people I’m “on FB” makes it sound like drugs or like I’m stepping on Francis Bacon.

    I tend to be disorganized — my wires, pens, and various knick knacks conspire to get tangled and lost without my permission. In university, only I could understand my notes because all subjects were jumbled together and there were doodles all over the margins (see also: my terrible penmanship). However, I’m very obsessive when it comes to organizing things for work and design, so my Mac desktop is always clear, all my work things are color-coded, and I make sure my papers are in order.

    You can imagine then what a pleasant surprise it was when the nice folks over at FILED sent me a Limited Edition Canvas Folder and a set of Teejuice Fabric Markers. I was happy to get my hands literally dirty again because I haven’t illustrated anything by hand for years (see: Photoshop, Illustrator). With the fabric markers, you can design your own folder and be extra creative. I think it would also make a great gift — either design on and wrap it for a friend or give a blank one to someone feeling artsy fartsy.

    In which I finally figure out how to reply to replies.

    I saw you at Cubao X! You were inside your car though. Hehehe.

    It’s both creepy and flattering to know that my face can be recognized through tinted glass, haha! I probably looked stressed out because I was inching my car through a crowd of hipsters and they would not budge. I wanted to roll down the window and shout, “You can look at me all jaded and world-weary but you’re not going to maintain that cool chill if I run over your legs and your blasted Doc Martens!” (Hello Carmela; I have not seen you in a while!)

    i’m so jealous! i’ve always wanted to roadtrip through America. did you live there before?

    I’m American! U-S-A! U-S-A! Okay, all jokey-ness set aside, yes I used to live in Chicago. After that, a regretful year was spent in Iowa, where the corn is plentiful and the entertainment is not. After that, I moved to the Philippines, where the corn is served as dessert and where the entertainment comes in all colors, Catholic to PG to R to XXX.
