I just wish.

This is the most honest confession I’m about to post here, I feel vulnerable and naked. Chos. (Be kind to me)

In a perfect world, here’s how I will plan my whole week…

I work five days a week, grave yard shift to be exact. After work, I’ll hit the gym and I will spend 1-2 hours of working out. I will go home, eat a very light but healthy dinner and spend some time surfing the web. I will also try to make it to a point to do something artsy per day, it’s either a drawing or take a picture. Also, I will bookmark online tutorials on both sketching (I badly want to change my drawing style) and photography. I will also update my blog in a regular basis by either posting WIPs or maybe a weekly-theme kind of post? WIPs, featured artists and inspirations, more pictures, throwback Thursday, foodie Friday…you get the idea. Once I’m done, I will sleep and wake up for the next day.

During weekends, I will have a mini photowalk to learn and practice street photography. If I’m lucky, I will have a portrait session with someone, it could be a funshoot or commissioned one. By the end of the day, I will read the online tutorials I bookmarked last time and I will study them for 2 - 3 hours. It could be longer. And there will be application afterwards. Second day of my weekend will be spent on, maybe watching my favorite TV series or a movie marathon. I will do some cardio workouts or maybe yoga challenge, 1 - 2 hours. I might start reading the books I purchased from sale and get some inspirations there. And at night time, I’ll surf the web again and do my usual productive updates. And yes, I need to do my a week-worth of laundry too.

Some other things that I would be doing in betweens could be writing down on a private journal (maybe on my tablet, something not meant to be posted in my online accounts) and jotting down my long-term goals (dream vacation, investing on my dream gadgets, etc…). I could also put down some self-auditing like, how I spent this amount of money for this week. Something like that.

Or I could meet some of my friends! Over dinner or coffee maybe?

I just wish this is how I run my everyday life. But I don’t (for now). Why? Because I’m lazy and I have a short attention span. I rarely accomplish artsy things these days and it’s saddening (but I know it’s my fault). I have things in mind than can surely motivate me but IDK, I just…I won’t do it. Not because I don’t want to but because I procrastinate too much and eventually, the day will be over before I know it. And I haven’t accomplished anything.

Everyday I spent too much time on the internet checking things and (cyber) window-shopping, but that’s it. Then I will be sleepy and I’ll hit the sack. Weekends will come and it will be spent mostly on sleeping. Am I sleep-deprived during weekdays? I guess so. And there goes my weekend down the drain, with no productive output.

You must be judging me by now. Haha, I know. I’m judging myself too. I should have an active lifestyle, not something stagnant, boring and lazy like this. I’m almost in my mid-20s and I should be having fun and whatnot. I need to do some serious planning here, otherwise, I will just waste my life away. Haha.

I will not be always this young, I should make the most of it.

Throwback! :)

I miss shooting with this prime lens, Andy gave this to me few years ago. I was a fan of bokeh that’s why I love using this one over my kit lens, even though it’s always a hit-and-miss.

My personal drawback on this baby is that since it’s an old prime lens (it’s for film!), it’s manual mode all the way. To make things more difficult, I have poor eyesight (I’m wearing glasses now though!) so I always shoot through the camera’s LCD screen. It drains my battery so fast and then when it’s dark, I can no longer use the LCD screen. Malamang wala na ako makita eh. :(

But I still love this one in spite of the imperfection (naks!), it’s my first prime lens. Hoping to shoot with this again soon.

I’m so inlove with this journal. <3 

I grew up in a household with a regular income. So back in gradeschool, my grandparents (they’re the one who took care of me till 4th grade) can only afford to give me the regular Crayola crayons. The most expensive I’ve had was the set with 64 pieces/colors.

Being an artsy kid, I kind of envied my classmates with the set of 200+ colors or those with the Twistable ones. 

Well…kids. :)

So when I got my paycheck last week, I went to National Bookstore and gave the kid-in-me a treat: a set of Twistable Crayola crayons. :) I’m so happy, my co-workers were teasing me that I looked like an idiot. :))

SO excited to use them. <3

I tried to draw stuff…but coffee painting is not meant for me. I’ll definitely edit this further…kapag sinipag ako ulit. :))

Thank to M for this journal. <3
