My escape to my own little coloring book world
Monday, January 29th, 2007If there is one thing that my bestfriend Chai left me, that is to delight in coloring the pages of a coloring book.
I used to admire my ate on how she colors my ‘binaboy’ na coloring book. Di kasi talaga ako magaling magcolor dati. :) When God gave me Chai that is so into coloring books to de-stress herself, I tried to explore her little world.
As I got involve in my own little world of coloring books, I found myself experimenting on colors. I found myself deviating from the normal color of the characters. I found myself not thinking so much if 2 colors will look good side by side. I found myself following my instinct and heart as I pick a colored pencil from its box. I found myself listening to my inner self that something is missing on a page. I found myself getting my fingers dirty with the oil pastel. I found myself getting lost in my unique little world.
After I complete each page, a smile is always painted on my face. For every page is my self-expression. An expression of my radical side. A chance for me to deviate from the norm. A chance for me to just follow my instinct without fear. A change for me to be totally artistic.
In my eyes, a page of my coloring book is always a beautiful combination of colors. Totality is the most important thing of all. The same thing with our own selves, we may have our rough edges but what’s important is who we really are in the eyes of God. :)
This is the reason why I would like my closest and dearest friends color a page of my coloring book. For it is my own little world where I can express a part of me. :) It is also during those times that I can feel that I am a child again.
Thank you LORD for giving wonderful colors to my life!!! Sadyang makulay ang buhay kapag kapiling Ka!!!
