Coloring Book for Adults Philippines

I never realized a single birthday present will go a long way and even a Facebook Group. It all started when I gave a colleague a birthday gift - coloring book for adult. She's a type of girl who like to draw, do lettering and doodles, and its a must, not just for pastime.


So I gave her Mosaic Masterpieces by Creative Haven that was on the window of a bookstore. Lucky find I guess.. One by one, everyone is buying their own book and coloring stuff. People become busy looking for inspiration and pictures from the internet.


Then, we started looking forward on going to the park near our office to color during coffee breaks. And staying to color in pantry and canteen when its raining..


We are also going too far, googling, spying and following those Coloring Book Authors like Kerby Rosanes, Johanna Basford, Valentina Harper-Ramos, Thaneeya McArdle, Jim Gogarty and Jaelle Andrada Albaniel to name a few.. And this insane idea of setting-up Coloring Book for Adults in Philippines Facebook Group.


Of course, being a colorist, we need to attend the First National Coloring Book Day this August 2, 2015. Me and my friends are now thinking and planning activities since this will be the first ever in the Philippines and World. We would like to throw a party but that would not be possible for now.

Everyone is invited and we will keep you posted when and where!

The Coloring Books for Adults - Philippines was inspired by a bigger group called by the same name. We've just started last week and we already have 200+ active members and counting. 
This coming August 2, 2015, we are going to be celebrating the first ever National Coloring Book Day all over the world and we are taking part of it here in Manila. We will be showcasing some of our local amateur colorists' works and so much more. 
We are already in discussion with prime organizer Dover Publishing makers of Adult Coloring Books, which most of the colorists buy and use, for the party program and we might also feature some works from our world-renowned member Jim Gogarty the creator of The Mandala Coloring Books and founder of iHeartMandalas.com. 
If you wish to be a part of this exciting advertising opportunity with us, please get in touch with me via my email address: arlyn.descalsote@sourcefit.com. I would love to discuss more about our plans for the event with you. Thank you very much for your time and more power to you guys! Have a wonderful day!

Its More Fun in Calaguas


Its more fun in Calaguas for the second time!


Yes, you heard it right. It's my second time to visit this paradise. Thanks to this doggo who posed with us!


Now with my friends at work and I am having a blast! Playing frisbee and volleyball on the beach.

Girl Travel in Calaguas Island

I've been ready, brought my fishing rod, finally able to swim and dive.

Pinay Travel in Baclayon Church


This trip happened few years ago, when this church was still standing majestically complete.


I was amazed looking around in Baclayon Church cause it's one of the oldest architecture I had visited. 


This church was built at the year 1596! And I feel so  fortunate cause I get to see a place like this. So imagine my sadness when the earthquake hit Bohol and one of the casualties is this church.

Welcome to Alaminos


Got a nice transient in ALaminos, Pangasinan. Wooden house with big table for us to eat and drink!


We cooked seafoods and one of them is grilled fresh milkfish stuffed with tomato and onion, yummy!


Looking around the neigbor hood for hot coffee. A small along the road, instant coffee just cost me 8 php.


Colorful souvenir from Alaminos.


Welcome to Alaminos! After four hours of trip up north, we finally arrived in Pangasinan. And the destination is Alaminos! We rented a spacious transient house and went to market to buy foods, that's a cheaper way to spend this summer.

Hundred Islands here we come!

Philippine Travel and Dolphin Watching


One of the highlights of our sea tour in Bohol is dolphin watching!


I'm excited to this activity, I love animals and I get to see dolphin in their natural habitat.


After almost an our of boat ride, we stopped in the middle of the sea. From afar, I can see other boats too.


Then, our tour guide pointed dolphins jumping from water! Not just one but a group of more than ten dolphins!

Halo Halo de Iloko


Halo Halo de Iloko


My cousin has a good friend from San Fernando near La Union's Best Halo Halo de Iloko. And she confirmed that they have the best halo halo in town.


After a long day from the beach, we came back to her friend's neighborhood to try Halo Halo de Iloko. The street reminded me of our neighborhood back in Makati but insert this famous halo halo resto. It was not yet Christmas but the old-style house was full of lights to accommodate its visitors at night.


We tried okoy with their famous home made sawsawan, I am not a fan of okoy but I love their version of this cuisine.


Aside from the food, you will enjoy the homey museum design of this place. If you like their sawsawan, they have vinegar for sale, same with honey, wine, peanut butter, sardines and kornik.
