Lani's hidden talent

There's something about Lani that she hasn't been candid with. She can draw, and man, she's really good at it.

Look at these drawings:

Those are (from left to right, top to bottom) Ethan our beloved, Kirk Cortez (Ron and Liway's son), Lei Sumait (Kang and Kuya Roy's daughter), Rob Español (Ka Bobby and Ka Aileen's son), Aiden Umali (Ka Rolly and Ka Olive's son), and Tiara Rivera (Ka Alfred and Ka Karen's daughter).

What's fascinating about all this is, (1) in our seven years of marriage and the 12 years that I've known her, I never really knew that she can draw, and (2) the way that she draws them. The measurements are just perfect - it's like she has a ruler in her brain.

This is how she draws, she selects a picture online (from Facebook photos), looks at the picture, then draws in this order - shape of the head, hair, eyebrows, eyes, nose, lips. So basically, look at picture, draw a small section, the look again, and draw again, and so on. She'd finish one in about an hour plus. Now, what's great about this is, after she draws, if you hold the drawing against the monitor, all lines and curves align perfectly. It's like she just traced it from the monitor, and she didn't!

So, if you want your picture drawn, line up, I will give good discounts. Har har har!
