Anonymous asked you: Hey can you suggest any good local (or not) blogs out there? :D
Listing good local blogs— I will take that challenge! So here goes.
Amazing photography— mbacani (she’s now located in the US, but I’m counting her as local ‘cause she did come from here :p Great, great travel photos), planetickets (same situation, if I’m not mistaken. Also, killer taste in books, music, and fashion), thecoffeejunkie (this girl too, except she’s in the UK), josephpascual, ffeathered, thresca, rosarioko.
Inspiring art— choleil, valeriechua, artofkatrinateh.
I *may* have forgotten some.
But let me also throw in carafunk— I’m not biased, I promise. But my best friend writes beautifully, has the make of a fairy, and creates the best baked goodies.
Anonymous asked you: hi ate isobel! where do you usually shop?
I’ve actually just been shopping at the ukays at Cubao recently haha.
Anonymous asked you: HI =) Ive been backreading your blog (which is AWESOME btw!) and saw you love nutella like me! Do you have other suggestions of ways to eat it besides with bread?
Thanks :) Weell some of my favorite things to eat it with are salted pretzel chips; just dip ‘em in and the chocolatey-hazelnutty saltiness is just yum.
Also, melt it— combine Nutella, a bit of milk and butter in a saucepan over medium heat, and just drizzle the mixture over just about anything.
Anonymous asked you: do u smoke?
Nope! Never have.

I just saw the new trailer for Game of Thrones Season 2, and that horrible scene with Sansa in it— ohmygod when I read that part in Clash of Kings, I literally burst into tears of pity and infuriation and ASDVAKDASHDJOFFREYYOULITTLESHITIMGONNARIPOFFYOURLITTLEPEENANDFEEDITTOTHEDIREWOLVES.
On a lighter note, I just had to paint the beauty that is Sophie Turner, who plays her. She’s 15. Seriously, does “the awkward teen phase” even exist anymore?

About a month ago I got commissioned by this musician, Kuizz Shah, in Australia to do the cover art for his album Tinted, and tada— here it is on iTunes now!
I’m quite proud and excited for this, and he’s got pretty sweet tunes as well so click-through the photo to check it out!
carafunk’s The Little Prince (and his rose, of course) shoes.
I know. I quite covet them too.
ohmyjellybeans asked: I just noticed it now but you look like Michelle Rodriquez! :)
Haha I’ve been told that before. Although I don’t think I’m nearly as baddass as her :p

We also took a lot of photos, which I’ll probably post gradually. Meanwhile, here’s one of the lovely birthday girl, with lil’ ol’ me DOF-ing.
Tuesday Jan 24 09:49pmToday, carafunk and I celebrated her 24th on the 24th!
We drove up to our family rest house where we made lunch ourselves— chicken and basil pasta with berry wine, and salad with dried sugared flowers, milk cheese, apples, grapes and croutons. Later on in the afternoon we picnicked outside, with a couple good books and strawberries, my pretty Austrian tea and her homemade macarons and strawberry cake.
paper-fortunes asked you: i am so in love with your blog!
Aw thanks so much!
Anonymous asked you: what mode do you use when taking photos? i love your photos!
Thank you! I use manual mode.
mbacani asked you: Oh, you read quality novels, Iso; I’m sure even without my “Nick & Norah” hate review you’d still find it repulsive. Haha! :)
Haha I trust your judgment!
