TA DAH!!!
Yesteryearstories
the only easy day was yesterday
just flea
I don’t how the graphic designers in my office do it but I admire them being able to come up with pieces and pieces of artwork.
After gathering inspiration for days, I came out with my first mood board.
Yes I am in the mood for flea, stay tuned.
rules of the game
The rules of the game are just two things.
One, perspective.
Learn to look at things from different angles.
But remember not to just sit there looking, you still got to make things happen.
Two, expectation.
There’s no necessary need drive your expectations of things and people too high but it’s only natural to expect more things from yourself.
Disclaimer: with higher expectation comes greater disappointment.
payphone
I’m at a payphone trying to call home
All of my change I spent on you
Where have the times gone
Baby it’s all wrong, where are the plans we made for two?
Yeah, I, I know it’s hard to remember
The people we used to be
It’s even harder to picture
That you’re not here next to me
You say it’s too late to make it
But is it too late to try?
And in our time that you wasted
All of our bridges burned down
I’ve wasted my nights
You turned out the lights
Now I’m paralyzed
Still stuck in that time when we called it love
But even the sun sets in paradise
So gonna buy the album when it comes out!
what’s eating you
the quick and easy photoshoot
became our high tea after that
My last day before I move on to the next stop.
Definitely will miss the lively atmosphere in this department.
dempsey in raw
11 years and counting
This month has proven to be not so friendly for outdoor activities.
But I was glad that the last shoot was insightful.
Three weeks into work, this feeling of working with uncertainty and working mostly for the money doesn’t seem to give me the satisfaction.
Dream jobs? Do they even exist?
Nothing matters more than taking control of your career.
I am counting the days where my money can multiply enough to start a small business, at least I know I can take better ownership of my own path.
Here’s a few links recommended by my designer colleagues to get free vector images for your creatives:
Do not expect too much from free sites, please do your own slicing and editing!
say yes
愛には愛で感じ合おうよ
恋の手触り消えないように
何度も言うよ君は確かに
僕を愛してる
迷わずに SAY YES 迷わずに
Had my fill of write-ups over the couple of days.
Having some kind of mental block.
Waking up the wee hours, walking downstairs for no reason.
Sit back, relax, listen and
Say YES to whatever I might ask you next time.
#justsaying
Today, I had this email with the subject heading “How have you been?”
After opening up, I realized the subject should be changed to “Can you help me correct this?”
I AM complaining, simply because there’s no compelling reason for me to help out.
After all, I am taught to be a rationale thinker but somehow ending up irrational most of the time.
True enough, I am guided more by my feelings rather than my thoughts.
Somehow most of the time, I asked for it.
“we ought to helping out each other”
“since it’s just a small planet”
“life is too short”
“…. 日后好相见’
I heard it too many times and I have also been advocating it constantly.
BUT, wouldn’t it be just a little more comforting to see something like, “let’s catch up”
Nevertheless, it’s 1:23am and I have completed all the excel sheets for almost the entire cohort.
I swear it’s not easy.
I had to figure out some formulas.
True enough somethings we do, doesn’t necessarily need a good reason.
expeditions of yesteryear
With many numerous encounters with the “Japanese Cemetery Park” in one of my jogging routes,
I decided to drop in today.
Having done much read-ups, I suppose the night isn’t too good a time for visiting.
So I decided on a blazing sunday morning.
the entrance
the most prominent stone slab at the cemetery
the main aisle connecting to different tombs
The cemetery has proven to be a sacred, quiet and scenic resting grounds, unlike claimed by bloggers to be spooky and supernatural.
Oh yes, bike sale!
Raleigh Airlite 150
My two wheeled buddy is making way for a hybrid bike.
It has accompanied me for a few good trips and still going as sturdy as ever.
Pity I am unable to bring out the best of a roadie so I have decided to let it go.
Winners, losers
Giving in doesn’t mean we are afraid of losing.
It could mean that we place a greater value in it.
We are all winners.
Only if we are able to do what we must instead of what we should.
