Hi! Thank you for visiting Kintal.
My posts are about my reflections, observations and insight about society, people and life in general.
Some of the illustrations are and were drawn by me and my kids (Zari, Xav and Van).
I am having fun with the drawings /sketches.
The photos were all shot by us.
I match all these with my thoughts and post it at Kintal.
Together let’s share the impressions about the many things in life.
Kintal, a Filipino term for impression, seal or mark.

Thanks for so many likes. Abundance always look beautiful. Thanks a ton and god bless
Much thanks for following First Night Design!
They are very fine photos and drawings. Do you write the poems before or after the photos/drawings.
the drawings and photos are all ready, i choose which would go well with the thoughts.
thanks Bumba

Hello Marlyn, I love your blog, one of my favorites. Both words and colors are always uplifting. I don’t know why on WP reader I don’t see “Reblog, Like, Comment” (as most time I access WP on mobile phone). Anyway, thank you for sharing your words and colors to the world 🙂 Last thing, can I ask where are you based?
Have a great day Marlyn!
thanks Diwata. i live in QC

Relatively near, I’m from Taguig 🙂

To tell you the truth, ngayon ko lang na-encounter ang word na “kintal” ;-( Madami pang Pinoy words ako na dapat ma-discover pala 🙂
Came across you via Brenda over at Friendly Fairy Tales and so glad I did – your pictures are beautiful – I love what you do with the poetry and art here!
