Imagination encircles the world

the living zombie, needs some great sleep!

writing an essay draft outline in the morning on the train.

It drains me like nuts, coming out with the details for film critique.

it’s fun, but my thoughts were a mess, because it was too much thoughts.

i can’t sleep tonight either. MINI cooper needs my attention tonight to colorize stuff.

then there is 6 illustrations due on thursday.

Hello world, I’m done with none.

Haha, yet weirdly, i had faith and was rejoicing even though I haven’t done my essay outline this morning as I headed to the train station, weird, God knows why. I realized, everything crumble when i become anxious and panicky, perhaps I need to learn the art of staying steady. (:

work work, i wonder how is this possible.

I’m not running on my own, I’m running with passion with Jesus.

Never understood this passion for art / schoolwork.

lil’ jaded

i love you art history.

yet I’m feeling jaded right at this moment.

thinking of what to write on for the film critique,

I lack serious motivation with abundance of reluctance.

Hah.

Give myself a break.

take a shower, go for a walk.

start pasting pictures in CPJ, start some sketches.

to do list tonight.

shall be my very own secret (:

just a lil’ jaded.

But wonderful day with the Lord, rejoicing.

yay!

psalms 119

Blessed are those whose way is blameless,

who walk in the law of the Lord

Blessed are those who keep his testimonies

who seek him with their whole heart,

who also do no wrong, but walk in his ways!

You have commanded your precepts to be kept diligently.

Psalms 119:1 – 4 (ESV)

I’ve been meditating this for a few weeks already, actually the first 8 verses, but i decided to write it down here; Part I

Blessed are they who are blameless (upright, truly sincere)

who walk in the law of the Lord (in their conduct, conversation; in words and action; your life)

it’s not on the surface or from far looking at the law of the Lord, it says in the law of the Lord, dwelling in the word of God. that’s how i looked at it.

Blessed are they who keep his statues (laws) and seek Him with all their heart. (to seek, to inquire for Him and of Him and craves for Him with my whole heart)

They do nothing wrong, they walk in his ways (no wilful wandering from the precepts that are to be fully obeyed)

You have commanded your precepts, to be kept diligently. (Diligent means having or showing care and conscientiousness in one’s work or duties)

now, it concludes my stuck point of being diligent.

I struggle with this point of being diligent.

Wells, hope you ppl have  a new insight to this.

It’s my first time, trying to explain scriptures (:

It’s Jesus, who I’ll always go back to (:

D:

poof.

i wanted to complain about the national library, wells so many regulations.

trying to enter library. My pencil case is not with me. Can you feel my pain?

Wells, wells. not the first time.

I’ve discovered something thanks to my teacher and friends. My writings are critical and judgmental, so this is not good. It’s a weakness, I’m a huge stereotype. I need to stop being so critical and judgmental. yupps. I discovered also, as I spend time with Jesus this morning. I’m not delighting in the word, not that is bad.. but it is just different. But I had a good time listening to Alan Frow’s sermon about Hunger and Humility with the Holy Spirit. Interesting (: enjoyed it. Apollos, interesting. Acts 18

yay! now i begin my BRAINSTORM.

tmr is swimming day, please dont let it rain in the morning till noon (:

Beautiful Losers

www.beautifullosers.com

check them out!

they are awesome artists, not artists that pursue recognition or success in their art life. But simply doing what they love, the little things they love to do.

what a beautiful day today.

though the train got delayed.. I thought i was going to miss my favorite class.

Art History, which is so not history! it’s the coolest. trust me.

As i walked in, i saw this video. WOW. i was like. hmmm.

Then, bummed around, till our next class..

which was printmaking. getting all dirty with the inks.

We discovered the hidden STUDIOs in our school. sculpture studio, media arts lab, photography studio (probably darkroom) and the PRINTMAKING studio.

This was it. We did our woodcarving and were doing printmaking. I’m extremely excited! Till even now. Because looking at how things happen. wow. I must say. I’m seriously falling in love with PRINTMAKING! ♥

HAPPY day. relaxed. chilled out with the lovely boy.

anyways, let’s end with some PHUNK studio works (:

met them, local designers who set up a firm that is recognized internationally, they were all students in lasalle before. (:

taking a breather.

this style is really awesome.

I really like what she’s wearing (:

I’ve got a lot to do.

research, analysis, ideation.

yada yada..

OH wells.

But I’m thankful still, and meeting with the christians in lasalle, I was happy and feel encouraged. I pray, that this will not end, that it will continue to be a place to encourage the art students who we all have our personal struggles, yet still want to shine as a light in our school, in the arts scene (:

seems like my breather ended.

I need to get back to work.

MINI cooper. I hope to own you.

through this advertising project.

Hmm. Hopefully it’ll be extraordinary (:

yesterday

it was just a bad day for me.

i woke up having to rush to school.

i was stuck doing some wood carving.

early morning i got  a HUGE cut on my finger..

then, my printer had a mega paper jam. according to my dad, it can’t work anymore.

then headed to school, almost late.

Thank God.. everything was really smooth.

just a day, that was rather depressing adding on was the flu has hit me again.

Officially sick. again.

But yupps, I’m thankful still, in the midst of all these, there’s so much work for me. that simply, I need to trust God and also do my work. so yupps! thank you God (:

With Love,
