this was a remake of a painting i made when i was still attending junior high. the original was made using acrylic paint on canvas. it was entitled, to our secret place, after a book a i wrote. it took me less than a week to make it. this one, however, was made using MS Paint on my computer. only took me five hours to make this one, binging on burgers and ice cold cola whenever my eyes got tired or my wrist screamed of agony from acute carpal tunnel syndrome. i am quite comfortable using paint than adobe when making paintings like these. the texture was quite similar from that of oil pastels, which was my medium of choice when i was still in touch with my artistic side.
i gave the original painting to glad, the girl who gave me this painting. the painting she gave me was made using water color on canvas, and it still hangs on a wall in my room. as for the painting i gave her, i am really not sure. i could imagine it in a trash can right now or in a stinking dumpsite. perhaps it's all ashes now. broken. like the feelings she used to have for me. or maybe it's still with her. in her drawer. in a box under her bed. under her pillow? no. that would be impossible, because she had moved on already and i am glad she had.
of all the things i gave her including the books i wrote, the letters and the mixtape, the painting was the only one she decided to keep. she returned everything else when our relationship ended and i am glad she decided to keep it. at least there is something she still possess that could remind her of our story. of the dreams we had made using colors dancing on canvases. of the love i had tried to say using my bare hands. i hope the painting's still intact, unlike the love i used to forge such immortal art. her's still whole though. silent behind a glass, hanging on my wall. covered in dust...

nice den yung quote ni mugen :)
whoah!
sa paint lang ba talaga yan?
galing ah!
Wow, thats one hell of the sweetest thing i heard today. :O
I don't know that you also have a talent in painting. Good in writing , good in painting. What else.......????
....talentado ka pala RON. Seriously, it is a good gift. To be able to express yourself in a different manner is a gift. i am sure you feel happy every time you create one. You are like a pro......
Your post reminds me of my previous verbosity on my blog. *sigh* Feeling ko nagdeteriorate na ang aking blogging enthusiasm after all these sponsored posts I've been doing.
A nice post, this is. :D And oh, nice hands, too!
Good job bro! Nice work! :)
I would rather patch up pictures and play with colors and effects in photoshope. I admire your creative side, emo nurse. This is incredible. Hindi rin biro na gawin to..
I can relate to your sentiments about those stuff which your X gave back to you. When I had that experience too, I threw all of them away sa trash. But my Mom picked them up and kept it inside a box and tucked it below my bed. I just can't forget it when my mom saw me (na nag emote2x) over those things she kept under my bed.
And you know what, I have already an agreement with my current GF na pagnaghiwalay kami, if ever, she will never give me back all the things I had given her. But she can throw it away if she wanted to..parang na trauma na kasi ako..hahaha
ang talentado mo naman... kakainggit!!! hahaha
but behind the subject painting, im more amazed with the story behind it. nakaka-emo mode.
have a nice day, mate!
aha, past relationships no matter how short-lived or over-consumed they were, they seem to have corners and pockets in our lives. beautiful artwork. i have no other adjectives to describe it. :) i guess "beautiful" is the simplest term with an in-depth essence. :)
my room owns stories i wished to abort before, the walls and the frames pierced me in those days. but later i realized they must not be thrown or returned. museums are made because the very reason in my heart. listen to it and you'll find out. :D
Ang ganda ng painting! Go channel your artistic side! :)
...hehehe!
..pede bang mag upload ng voice file dito?Ü
..wait till you hear RON's voice, combo na talaga talent niyan!

@ron:
Hindi photoshape! It's Adobe Photoshop. Actually na mispell ko lang to photoshoppe -- parang penshoppe. hehehehe
talented ka pala..cge post ka naman ng recording mo para marinig namin..
in some weird way pa talaga ang pagbigay nya? ang sakit naman non.. tsk tsk tsk... cguro galit2x xa sa iyo nun noh? sakin din nagalit xa and worst is she had me go to her house, saying she just wanna give something speacial. I was thinking na baka last special gift nya sa akin, but yung mga things pala na binigay ko ang ibabalik rin nya... it's ridiculous, aight??
I tagged you! Answer rin yun ha!
tats ako. ang sad... pero parang you're full of happy memories. ;)
pareho tayo, mas komportable ako sa paint kesa photoshop. hehehe!
check mine under visual craft tags!
iba nga naman nagagawa ng pagmamahal. ;)
sure ako, nakatabi pa rin ang makulay ninyong alaala sa kanyang puso. :)
rn na, writer and painter pa! galing mo, ron! :)
Whew, that's nice huh.. a drape of efforts. Actually tried trenching stuff in paint before, but I mostly enjoy scribbles of brushes.
Hmmmm, lately [I] noticed a lot of my blogger mates have this creative side in 'em. XD
wooooww! ang galing naman! pwede na kayong magopen ng blogs at YM?!! cool! sige. kwentuhan mo na lang ako if you have time. di ka na din nagtetext kaya dito mo na lang ako i-message.ahehe... :)

ei, leyn..thanks for dropping by. salamat sa comment. maraming happy memories. pero unfortunately maraming ding sad :)
painting!!! is there anything you can't do?
kinilig ako, i dunno why????
hmmm..
siya pla..
akala ko...
:(
it's cool for you marunong ka magpaint paint sa pc. ako hindi. hehehe. maganda i-keep ang painting kasi may effort at labor of love talaga. yung mga love letters from someone, sinunog ko na yun. afterall, hindi na totoo ang nakasaad dun.
wow!!! love it..
two thumbs up...
so sweet....
tama. this story wasn't meant to be told...nagspre-spread to ng kalungkutan. tsk,tsk,tsk(affected).
ba't feeling ko medyo hoping ka pa rin. haha.
may practical side ang pagtatago ng painting. baka maging artist ka kaya sumday at biglang magmahal yung paintings mo, ano.
:D. talagang nag-iisip ang mga babae ng pang longterm.
hehe.
i love this post ron! though it's a flashback of a quite sad story, the things you've done for that girl is major kilig.. weeeee.. hihihi.. and in fairness, artistic ka pala ha.. ikaw ba talaga ang gumawa ng painting na un?.. hmmmm... hahaha!
vi-a-v!
