Have you felt this? You get excited for something you don’t know? Something to happen and you’re not even sure what it is. I don’t know but thinking about next year excites me. Whatever it is, let the world conspire.

This sick strange darkness
Comes creeping on so haunting every time
And as I stared I counted
The webs from all the spiders
Catching things and eating their insides
Like indecision to call you
and hear your voice of treason
Will you come home and stop the pain tonight
Stop this pain tonight

Translation:
Ma: how are you
Me: I’m fine :D
Ma: Are you at home?
Me: Yep!
Ma: I’ll play games for awhile, ayt?

I know other moms are cooler than mine. But my mom is cool this way. And she’s lovable at that! Happy Mother’s Day, mama! :D

I used to love reading books. I don’t know what happened. I still do, I think. There’s just so many things around (say internet) that makes me forget about books. It’s kind of sad actually. So if there’s time and I’m away from all the new technologies, I’d like to read some.

Started the day right by accidentally seeing my crush (the kalbo) on the metro. I think seeing him for the first time brought me luck. At work, I finished editing a video just before 6pm and my boss exclaimed he likes how i color graded it. Went out from work with my workmate to Al Ghubaiba to buy some camera accessories. After that, we went to Mcdonald’s to feed our hungry tummies and surprisingly, my workmate and I share the same sentiments on how photo and video, particularly in the wedding industry is different here in Dubai. I don’t know but i was just happy of how things turned out today despite what happened yesterday. I wasted almost 100 aed by the way, yesterday. Went out straight to Ajman to get my passport but they (my former boss) didn’t gave it to me after bombarding me with phone calls forcing me to get my passport already. Anyway, that’s it. I’m just happy today. Something I thought, i should at least take note of. Little things that makes you happy :)

So me right now!

This part of today’s episode left me speechless. And oh, I’d say this is thus far my fave epi this season. Not just because of Khaleesi being a good kind of badass but also because I am starting to feel warm towards the characters that I used to hate. Yeah, I’m talking about Theon and Jaime Lannister.

REBLOG: OH MY BLOG

A repost from my multiply account 4 years ago.

“At first, I thought graduating with a degree in college will fully equipped me with everything i needed to embark on my journey to the world of the working masses.

But physics, mathematics or even history didn’t primed me for the so-called “real world.”

I passed hundreds of applications to well-known companies (and also to companies that i havent heard before) for positions that sounds complicated. Hundreds of applications, only one or two will respond.

When i got my first job as a graphic artist in a printing company in our city, i was flushed with confidence. I thought i was ready. But i couldn’t be more wrong. I jumped in to another career —- business transcriptions (didnt even know this kind of job existed ‘till i got in), video editing, then back again to graphic designing.

Nothing has prepared me for “this life.” But this is life, outside of the four corners of the classroom. There are no retakes, no excuse letters and special projects for you to make up.

A yearbook to lay-out for 4 to 5 days, a supervisor who wants you to come for work on a Saturday without an overtime pay, a sales manager who wants you to do three different things all at the same time, a Macintosh computer that takes a decade to save a file, an art director who’s not sure of her instructions, a meticulous client with her never ending revisions and out of nowhere ideas, a “sip-sip” co-employee, and a very religious CEO that calls you stupid, asshole, “you’re just a pebble in my eye” for small mistakes but was never open of giving you incentives in times of your success. Then there you are, almost wanted to cry and quit.

Familiar lines. Familiar characters. Familiar stories. But like any other book or movie, every story is bound to end. It may take 1 to 2 hours, but it will end.There’ll be more familiar lines from familiar characters in a familiar story to come along the way, worse than your monster professor and energy sucker classmates in college.

Life is simply disappointing with all these realities. But i guess, everything is just a matter of a proper mindset. Learn to get the lessons straight from the office, from the streets, from the strangers. Important lessons that can not be taught but have to be learned.”

4 years later, I am in Dubai. My situation last 2009 is not much of a difference now. In fact, it gotten worse. Too much that I can stomach. I have to admit that sometimes I want to give up. That I’m tired of all the non-sense stress. When you’re fed up you can’t help but question yourself how much you’d want something. And then I thought of the things I’ve been through. Of all the hardships my parents bear just for me to cross Dubai from the Philippines. Of why I am here. I don’t wanna question God about why things are happening this way. Instead, I asked Him to give me more strength and guidance for me to carry on with these shitty portions of life. It’s true what they say. That you’ll never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. I’d always remember a very good advice from my favorite teacher. “One half knowing what you want is knowing what you want to give up before you get it.” It’s quite a tricky situation but I guess I understand now what she meant by this.

So far, with the help of comforting and encouraging words from friends, I am still here. Bruised but still standing. And that is enough for me to be thankful for. And when the tide is high again, I will read this blog and take inspiration from the lessons I have learned from the past. I can cry. I can shout out of frustration. I can be mad. I can be angry all I want as long as I continue thinking, surviving and grow from it. Life won’t be any different wherever in this world I may be. I know there’ll be more turmoil in the future but the optimist in me still believes in the balance of life. When there’s bad, there’s good. Hardships in life are two sides of the same coin. After all, it’s just a matter of proper mindset.

iamanartistproject:

Having a Fine Arts degree from the University of San Carlos in Cebu, KDLIG has come a long way in expressing her art. She has been featured in numerous art magazines locally and internationally. She also participated in a number of art exhibits here and abroad.

As a professional illustrator, she relieves stress by moving away from working on commercial stuff that she does for her clients, and takes time creating art that is personal. Her struggle as an artist began to fade away when she won an art contest in Threadless, despite a lot of haters dissuading her.

This video was taken in her flat in Dubai. Even here in her own space, her art is truly manifested. Learn more about Kristy Anne and her art by watching the video! Enjoy, fellow artist!

Also, drown yourselves with the awesomeness that is KDLIG by visiting her website and online portfolio sites:
