Inspiration:Living With Woods + Ocean

I’ve always dreamed of living with nature since I was a kid. I remember telling my parents that I’ll give them a house near the ocean and they were amused. 😀

Three years ago, I bought a raw land in upland surrounded by trees with ocean view – perfect for family vacation and relaxation. And now, I’m looking for design inspiration for our future home in the wilderness. Yay!

Here it goes:

Cozy reading nook with wood shelf, kitchen area with glass roofing (minus the huge counter tops), and bamboo inspired living area.

Bedroom inspiration for beach front view

Story-telling area for the kids!

Outdoor drinking space for the adults!

Creative working space inspiration ❤

Building an eco house is next on the list and hopefully, it will be done soon! xo

Apo Whang-Od: Traditional Tattoo Artist

95-Year Old Tattoo Artist From The Province of Kalinga

Mambabatok is another term for traditional tattoo artist. Apo Whang-Od is a 95-year old mambabatok from the province of Kalinga.

Unlike the usual tattoo session, Apo Whang-Od only use thorn and a bamboo stick. Traditional tattoo will make your skin bleed and swells a lot but it’s totally worth it as this ink will stay dominant and clear forever and you’ll be carrying an obra maestra coming from a legend.

Tattoo Hunter Dr. Lars Krutak also visited the remote Philippine Cordillera Mountains to learn about Kalinga tattooing culture.

Apo Whang-Od charges ₱300 for small tattoos up to ₱1,500 for big and complicated patterns. Yes, that’s right. You don’t need to go through all the rituals to get inked. But I would be honored to do so. Soon.
