Epic Moment

When my sister asked what I wanted for lunch today, I answered "Business."
Freudian Slip much? LOL!

Hermit

I was going to title this post as bland. But that's not really right, since having no strong emotions is not right. Just negative emotions... the added bonus did help though LOL!

I guess it could be worse..

But back to my title: that is what I've decided. I am going to be a hermit until this summer ends.

I always relate to food. Before I was a stuffed pepper. I guess not I am a piece of white bread.

• not nutritious
• bleached white, and artificial
• is not filling or interesting
• has a bad taste in the mouth..
• not really a full meal... which kind've reflects my blog lately... choppy

Time to inhale my work! 

Mention in Jennifer Fukushima's Blog

So as some of you might know, lately two things have been occupying my time: being sick, and working on Paper People Clothing's new website. This was definitely a project that challenged me creatively, but what I didn't expect though, was a very generous blog entry from Jenn!

Check it out here! 

Um...

I just remembered my blog. I don't actually really know what to say.
I feel like a stuffed pepper and all that runs through my  head lately are codes.
If this allergy slash cold slash whatever this thing is keeps up, I swear I'll be barfing up hash-tags, javascript and uncropped pictures...

Lists

I've been staring at the title of this post for what I swear to have been five minutes. It looks funny. Lists. Then I started repeating it out loud and it made the disconnect between the word and its meaning even more severe.

Too much caffeine, not enough sleep, and definitely not enough desire for sleep.

So this post is going to be exactly what it says in the title: lists. Why? Because I don't feel like sleeping just yet. I'm still trying to chase my mind ('cause it's still running... haha...?)

Enjoying it too much..

That's how my sister describes my relationship with my work.

It's almost 3 AM and I still feel like I can do more. Maybe things can be aligned better, or there's got to be a better code for that thing on the website, that leads to this other thing that can also maybe look better. I wish I had this kind of relationship with exercise. If only.

Lots of progress on the website for Paper People Clothing today. Finally got my butt to work, as I've been doing nothing but dragging it around lately. The blank squares on there is driving me nuts, but that is out of my control for now.

As I was working on the site, I realized I still have not updated my portfolio or revamped my own site. It's gotten to the point where they are so outdated,  I definitely do not want to show anyone either of those. That means I can't even link my stupid site to give myself credit.. huge bummer... Bleh. I have some idea as to what I want it to look like, but definitely no time to start it yet.

Unless... is it too late to start on a website at this time? LOL! Tempting..

I want the domain name ideazoo.com, but apparently it's taken... and it's not even taken by some kool. I am disappointed to say the least. Plus, after doing some google-ing, it's also a design firm already. And there I was thinking it was the most creative idea ever. Maybe I can just add the word "the" infront of it... haha.. nope, wait, it's taken too... ugh.. makes me wish I was alive when internet first became popular, so I can grab some domains..

As a side note, my hobby of the day: vacuuming spiders. Fun.

Progress

It's like one step forward and ten steps back.

It's not about what is written here, it's what I've erased.

Sleep

... or rather, not sleeping.

Someone help me. After around 2 hours of sleep (which is rounding up and not down), I am wide awake.

The lazy person in me wants me to lounge around in bed all day... while the other part... haha who am I kidding, there is no other part! But the worst thing about being awake and just lying there, is the painful awareness that parts of your body becomes numb after a certain period of time. This causes me to have to shift and change positions. This is a nuisance. And in my opinion, defeats the whole purpose of lounging around. If I have to move, it might as well be moving productively.

And that leads to why I am sitting in front of the computer before one in the afternoon for once.

Man life is hard... LOL

*** btw is it just me, or is there a new UI to this whole posting thing? I'm not complaining though! Looks wayyyy more sleek and doesn't look like I'm typing in a random textbox on Zuup :) LOVE!

To my Blog

Dear Blog,

I was thinking of all the progress we've been making lately. Our relationship in the past has suffered a lot because I was either busy with my work, or just plain lazy. The last thing I want to do is make you feel neglected again, but I have something to confront you about.

I have been missing the feel of a pen in my hand, and the way it seem to magically transform a mess of scribbles into unfinished thoughts that only I would understand. What I'm trying to say is, I would like to explore my relationship with someone new: the hard cover diary I've been eyeing at the store lately.

I know this will not be easy for you to listen to, but every time I see it on the shelf in that old cramped up store, at the old Chinese mall near my house, I feel like it's the only thing that calls out to me. I promised I'll not let our relationship slip away again. But I want to do this for me. I know I already have a lot to be thankful for: like the worn out cover that shows how much I love my sketchbook, or the twenty-seven dollars and ten cents you promise me when I click the 'Monetize' tab, but I feel like it's still not enough. What I need is to feel the texture of the paper rub against my knuckles as I write, and the satisfaction of flipping the pages. I'm scared. I'm scared I'll forget how to write with a pen again.

Maybe we can make out an agreement, like typing the most interesting of thoughts and reorganize them on here? I swear your pictures will always be more colourful than the scribbled out messes that I occasionally might draw in there.

Let me know what you think, and remember: you will always be a significant part of my life.

xoxo

Pretty Cool View!

So I was just going through my rss feeds, and I just learned something new! Lately, I've been constantly stalking this blog called "start and don't stop", and I've learned that by adding "/view" at the end of any blogger address you'd get this choice of different navigation styles! If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you can view her lovely post here. So the curious being that I am decided to check it out and I actually have to say I sent as much as 20 minutes on there just looking at the different views! LOL!

I particularly like the "mosaic" view. I guess it wouldn't really work as well, or look that pretty if the blog doesn't have as much pictures. But being the narcissist that I am, obviously I was trying this out with my own blog! Haha, and I thought it looked pretty awesome.

Yea, it's chopped up in the middle and missing a piece, but who needs three screenshots when you can see it for yourself? (click)

1:54 AM

I'm sitting here wearing one of the many t-shirts I borrowed from my boyfriend, and looking up at the new shelf he built for me. It's the simple little things that reminds me of how in love I am.

I wish I can upload and share the picture I took of this moment.
