The Stepford Wife
I draw this using my husband’s graphics tablet. I wanted to make a personalized avatar but this is the result.
I’d rather just find some websites which offer free personalized avatars than to use this. This doesn’t look a bit like me so it can’t represent me.
But because I worked on it for like 2 hours, I won’t let it go to waste. I decided to post it here in my Digitally Designed blog. I changed the face expression a little bit making it look like some emotionless Stepford wife (not sure if I succeeded) and viola! There goes my artwork.
I don’t know if I can ever get used to using the graphics tablet because to me it’s just weird drawing on a tablet with your eyes fixed on the monitor and not on the tablet itself. If only I can use it well I think I can make something better.

Why do I feel so busy when in fact I can’t find anything to do?
There are no writing opportunities that interest me at the moment so I can’t update all of my blogs. It looks like this month is going to be very dry for me.
I always feel tired. The kind of tiredness you feel when you are working like a carabao (we say this in the Philippines, I don’t know if you get it) but the truth is, I am not working at all. I am just walking around the flat, thinking, dreaming, of something to do. Funny because there are things that I must do but I keep on putting them off. Upgrading my blogs, designing a new website, learning German, house work, and writing are just few of those things.
Carabao? Am I writing it wrong? MS Word doesn’t seem to recognize it. It keeps on underlining it. Weird. I am sure it is an English term (of Tagalog-Spanish origin) for Kalabaw—a water buffalo.
Anyway, I don’t know why I feel so stressed out. Maybe, the idea of a stressful move is doing this to me. Yep, we are moving soon and until now we are not sure where.
