distractions always seem the most tempting when you have stuff to do..

actually, some of my classes aren't so bad now hahahaha. i think it's because i need time to get used to the lesson plan and how crappy my skills are at the beginning of the class. i've always enjoyed western civ class, it's just a pity it's a monday morning class and that's always the best time to sleep in. at least the final assignment's fun, it's probably the one homework i'm having the most fun with.
figure painting is actually also helping me loads on painting anatomy and lighting correctly, it turns out i like oil painting a lot - i would definitely use this medium if it weren't such a damn pain in the ass to set up and clean up.
i'm alright with graphic design too, though it's a pity that it's a friday class and that means everyone's in the weekend mood. also we're mostly worn out after going through all the weekdays that brain cells are generally fried when it comes to friday.
some classmate has made his distaste for graphic design very apparent to a lot of people, including teachers, but too bad for him, he has to go through it anyways. it made me lose any respect i might have had for him, i don't think that having such a narrow view is going to work out if you want to continue in this line. graphic design is "a waste of time" when you can be doing "real art"? really? i don't know, maybe you should try appreciating what graphic design can bring to the table even though it's not going to be your focus, especially since graphic design is a major part of society today. fine art or not, illustration or not, you should have a certain amount of respect and value for other forms of art and design, regardless of personal taste.
couple more weeks until school's out! hang in there me!

ugh i really don't like the classes i'm taking this semester as compared to last fall. i know they're important and stuff, but i wish we had more illustration classes emphasized on concept.. my imagination is dwindling to nothing. don't creativity and skill go hand in hand? the semester seems to take forever to end sometimes. can't wait to get out of here and return to the homeland, where awesome makan and part-time work await. also, i really really need to get out there and start pushing myself and my stuff harder.

this was pretty awesome. spaghetti olio with a generous dose of mentaiko pasta flavoring to make it not so tasteless. it's weird that it's still so bland despite it being fried with garlic and butter. hmm.
sometimes i don't get the thought process of people around me. why would you insist on doing something a certain way when there are other methods that can easily produce the same results with less effort, time and money wasted? i know i myself can be pretty stubborn about the way i do things, but at least i acknowledge and adopt efficient working processes when i see them.
i don't know if i'm happy with the way i am now, but i'm adjusted to it. looking at the hurdles and problems that other people with different statuses or circumstances has made me rather glad that i don't have to think about that kind of issues right now. i'm just going with what i want - what i like to do, and i'm pretty darn glad i have this freedom.
i've been pretty moody and emotionally turbulent lately though, or maybe it was since i came back. i think it's because i have this expectation i place on others, that i expect them to be aware of what i notice, and respond in a way that i want them to without me vocalizing it. and when they fail to take note of what i observed, i get snappy. the problem lies with me of course - how can i possibly expect people to pay attention to things that i do without me telling them about it? but time and again when i realize this, i relapse back into the same habit. it sucks, and i'm trying to deal with it. i feel really sad though when i think about how blunt i get when i reach that state, and especially if i direct that annoyed feeling towards people i don't want to hurt. is it just me, or is it that whole "female telepathy" thing that is generally associated with girls?

spring break in NYC!
feels good to be in a city again, especially one like New York with so many things to see and do. this trip left me feeling mentally drained though, i kept slipping into autopilot mode.. maybe i was just hoping to find time to sit somewhere and chill and not have to do anything, but no way that's going to happen in such a busy place! lots of memories revisited, new ones made.. plus i got to meet up with Ange and Nick, so it's all good :]
