One of the best things that happened to me in 2016 was that I was invited by
STABILO Philippines to be one their artists for the
NBS Color and Calligraphy Fair last October 22-23 at SM City Cebu. Together with talented artists
Dr. Nanette Catigbe and
Joemar Mangkok at the STABILO booth, it was surely a fun with learning kind of experience as I learned more creative ideas from them. Their portrait works are really to-die-for!

| Tbh, I couldn't think of any great word for the demo, so I chose this one instead since it has been my favorite expression. Haha! |
Prior to the event, I was hesitant to accept the offering since I have to do some things for the first time: a demo on stage and doing a live mural! Imagine, I had to do a demo on how I do my hand lettering stuff on stage in front of many people in front many people on the first day. Good thing, I was able to fight my stage fright and was able to do a good demo. :)

On the second day, I was asked to do a live mural. Again, I don't know what quote to write so I randomly took a quote from Tumblr. Since it was my first time to do this kind of stuff, I could attest how real the struggle was and I don't even know what to do so it took me forever to do everything. Ha ha ha! And it was even fully finished. *sobs* At the very least I did my very best.

It might be a nerve-racking experience but I'm pretty sure that I really had fun! It was great to meet new people people (especially the creative folks whom I followed on Instagram) and how they appreciated your work. It surreal and overwhelming!

Thank you, STABILO family for this wonderful opportunity which made me love arts even more and for the awesome freebies. Can't wait for the next creative events like this!
