Since it’s already October 1, Here’s a little thread for all my accomplishments ever since I started doing art full time last July.

(This is not to brag but to inspire fellow artists and to prove to those people who did not believe me that you can make money out of sining!)

1. My very first investment - XP PEN Artist 24 pro

Real game changer! sobrang napa ikli yung oras ko sa pagguhit dahil mas sanay ako na gumagalaw braso ko pag nagdodrawing. I can’t do that with my old tablet.

2. Bought my mom a gas range for her birthday. She loves to bake but she never had her own oven.

3. Bought my own house :) - already paid the downpayment yesterday and all what’s left is the monthly amortization then lilipatan na namin next year. Kokompletuhin na lang namin ang furnitures and appliances.

4. Bought a printer for my art print business that I’m planning to open very soon!

This accomplishments only happened in the span of 3 months. I started taking commissions seriously last July until I recently got hired by a company from Cayman Islands as their illustrator. I am also working with extremely talented people which is a very huge boost!

Right now, I am still accepting limited commissions while multitasking on my full time job. It is hard because the turn around time is always within 48 or 24 hours. I always have to be on call pag may pinapagawa.

To those who are reading this right now, always keep in mind na may mapapala ka sa ginagawa mo ngayon. Prove them wrong. May pera sa sining. May pera sa pag guhit, sa pagkanta sa pagsayaw, etc.

Hindi ito privilege. I came from a poor family. Buong buhay ko nangungupahan lang kami. High school, we are labeled as squatters kasi sa highway lang kami nakatira. Buong akala ng iba na nakakaangat kami sa buhay pero dahil lang yon sa sipag ni papa at ng kagustuhan nya-

Na mabigay samin ang mga gusto namin kahit hirap sya pagkasyahin ang maliit nyang sweldo sa ibang bansa. Yes. Not every OFW has a good salary. My father is only earning 20k a month. Pag may over time, 30k.

Masipag lang din talaga si mama na kahit may kapatid pa akong isa na need pa ng therapy for speech delay nagagawa pa rin nya kumayod sa sari sari store namin. Tyaka sobrang galing ni mama mag budget kaya kahit papano e nakakaluwag kami.

Now hindi na nila kailangan mahirapan dahil ako na gumagastos sa lahat at kung ano man nilalabas nilang pera para sa sarili na lang nila.

Alam kong nahihirapan ka rin minsan kasi wala kang nakukuhang client. Dumaan din ako dyan. wag ka malungkot. Practice lang nang practice. Keep doing what you love, magugulat ka na lang dami mo na pala na-accomplish.

3 months is still a short time. Marami pa dadaan na buwan. I will update this thread once in a while tungkol sa mga bagay na-na accomplish ko. Kahit maliit man yan.

Ayun lang muna. Salamat sa pagbabasa! Drawing na tayong ulit!

So for those people who are asking how I managed to buy a house agad agad...here’s how.

Walang taong bumibili ng bahay nang bayad na lahat agad. Kung meron man sobrang yaman na non or may sapat na ipon na siya para ma-afford yung house in cash hahaha.

Sa bawat bahay na bibilhin mo laging may option ka na pagpipilian kung pano mo siya babayaran. Merong Pagibig loan, Bank Loan, in house etc.

Bank Loan pinili ko kasi mas mura yung monthly amort kesa sa pag ibig! HAHA.

May mga bahay na ang downpayment is 1 million for 5 million house ganon. Sa nabili ko 3 million siya and ang downpayment is 300k. Pero may choice ako kung gusto ko ba na gawing 12 months to pay yung downpayment kung di ko pa keri yung 300k. Since may ipon naman ako-

Binayaran ko na siya para wala na ako isipin at sa monthly amort na lang ako mamomoblema.

May option ka rin sa monthly amort. 30 years to pay, 15 years to pay etc.

Obviously, pag 30 years to pay mas mura babayaran mo monthly.

15 years to pay pinili ko-

Ang monthly ko is 27k.

Pag 30 years, 21k ata.

Ginawa ko na 15 para mapaaga HAHA.

So ayun, madali lang talaga kumuha ng bahay basta may sapat kang ipon pang-down at confident kang mababayaran mo yung monthly.

Ayan dagdag kaalaman para sa mga nagbabalak dyan bumili hehe.

Bought my sister an ipad for her online classssss!
