a few meals captured on my cybershot

thai style whole steamed branzino

homemade sweet garlic longanisa

henry in the custom apron i made for him for our anniversary! it is lined with the same plaid on the pocket and has green contrast stitching

puppy cake

this was very disturbing to eat... i ate the paw first and that felt kind of gross.

becoming nonverbal at lilia :)

this cybershot was a gift from henry because he accidentaly broke my old digital camera. a big improvement because now we can add stickers to our photos :) the only unfortunate thing is that the camera language is japanese and the device does not support being changed to english language. it's ok

mochi eating her kibble.

she usually eats wet food but mama was budgeting more intentionally during this time period...

here you can see the new camera's sticker function<3

july 31, 2024

we started the day without a plan really .. just knew we wanted to go to peekamoose blue hole

monet rented a car and it was so cute and fancy. i met up with her in williamsburg, she kinda looked like a young mom driving it. on the way there i had subway for the very first time and it was really good ... we had the italian sandwich. i also bought a chocolate croissant but later i realized that i lost it which really sucked...

anyway we got to the hole and it was raining which was nice because there were less people there but it wasn't as blue. still beautiful though :)

after that we still wanted to see more nature, so we searched for a lookout nearby. we saw a hawk circling over us for a long time and i saw a bunch of spider webs with water droplets on them, they looked like jewelry. also monet showed me an acorn and told me how they are much smaller than they appear in cartoons when a squirrel is holding them, it's true they were very small

then we got hungry and took 30 minutes deciding where to eat and i really wanted hot pot but we didn't want to spend $30 on hot pot that was probably going to be shitty (a week later i ate really good hot pot at a restaurant in manhattan called Kimura). i remember being so so emotional about not being able to eat hot pot lol but we went to get pho at this spot in new paltz and it was so delicious

us with random child we found.

on the way to new paltz we also found this shop selling honey and went in but it was apparently closed and the lady was kind enough to let us in and look around the shop even if it was closed. we bought some honey from her (her husband is a beekeeper!) and it was so cute.

after eating pho we drove back to nyc but we decided that we didn't want our day with the rental car to end yet, so we went to rockaway beach!! it's so much more peaceful at night. we climbed a lifeguard tower and i think there was a jellyfish on it

and that was the end of our beautiful day together :) monet dropped me off at home and i ended my night with watching sudoku

friends are for...

Shopping (and window-shopping...) on a rough day...

album art

i love youtube..when i start typing youtube in my google search bar and press enter prematurely, it leads me to this music video...

idk how i keep forgetting that autofill is going to take me to the same place, or why i dont just click YouTube on my bookmarks bar :-) BUT i do know that finding childlike inspiration in ur adulthood is rare. when i think about inspiration and visual influence i think about :

and  but i havent been able to stop watching this  adorable... music video after 4 years.

i find the same feeling on graham baster's friends forever radio

i find the same feeling in the cover art of the Dee-Lite Sampladelic Relics & Dancefloor Oddities album

i love the hexagons in her eyes... how the stems of the antennas poke into the little circles.. the double-layered twirly eyelashes.. the varied line weights that make it look hand drawn. there are so many cute little details in this drawing that are so weird and lovingly drawn

my cat mochi made of sand

 in an effort to stop using my phone so much and distance myself from the creepy omnipresence of instagram i will be using this blog to share my life, art, and tattoo practice. i miss the sensation of exercising individuality and choice in decorating your online space. if you want a tattoo, please feel free to email me :-) sabi.lgr2@gmail.com
