One up!

I noticed I don't have any of my works up yet. I have to find time to scan my doodles coz they're everywhere! On my sketchpads, on my notebooks, on odd pieces of paper...well, here's a start.

Goal for next month: to sketch at least 5 portraits of people sleeping, 5 made up characters or places, 5 drawings of still life, and 5 typographic art.

Have A Roaring Birthday, Thirdy!

Summer Class

The heat. The long walk from one class to the next under the heat. The required classes and the professors that go with them. The rushed readings and deadlines. The lack of sleep. The getting up early. The 1 hour commute. All before noon. Every day. I cringe.

Push

So now that Holy Week is over I have to say that it took a lot of will power to maintain my program, what with the list my Ilonggo-food-craving cousins had, I had to endure not eating Batchoy and Halo-halo at 21, EVERYTHING in Inaka and booze wherever we went. I cheated 4 times in the 10-day long eating and drinking frenzy and it was mostly on the booze. Blame it on the alcohol? Not! How can I say no to a cousin who hasn't been home in 2 years, another cousin who hasn't been to Negros in a decade, and to the rest of my fun-loving family members AND friends?

I started to feel like I was such a kill joy and that I wasn't actually living. But hey, there's that hidden feeling of accomplishment when growing waistlines and "shrinking" clothes become obvious. He he he.

Now I can't say I'm challenge free at this point just because Holy Week is over. What it is is that I have less excuses of not getting better and bigger results and a lot more time to reach my goal. It's all about determination, pacing, and a large collection of my high school beach pictures for inspiration.

This will work because I will work.
