omg!
it's been sometimes since i post anything, and nowadays i am quite forgetfull.. i guess thats y
it's fine now, already activate it, hope its fine ;)
just talked to hippo just now, about design and how it affects our lives....
i like talking about this, because no matter how down or stuck you are, it will somehow
become a little bit better after talking it out. no matter how ugly it is.. serious...
recently, made friend with a cool artist, who is also my teacher.. and we really click! we talked about arts, designs, life, people, attitude, dreams, achievement, strengths, weaknesses and others...... it;s like we are very connected, and i like to talk to her because she is very positive about arts and design and she is always encouraging and see the positives sides of arts and designs.... though some people may not think so....
i know this person, who sees art n design as something negative, and worst of all, she is in this industry... it just seems very saddening...
and she feels that we are speaking the art language, because we are art people ;)
i am very flattered!! personally i realized the different feel when you talk about art with some people that dont like/appreciate art... it is less exciting, because it doesnt flow somehow...
but again, art n design is subjective... u can love it or hate it... yeapp
i learn some stuffs from her, hear good advice and questions / words that motivate me to grow and rethink of what i have in mind. she asked me about my style, my favourite materials, those trademark that makes you, you. for now, i only have vague answer, as i am still exploring and trying to find it.. but for shure, i love happy design... design that makes ppl feel smth.... smth that evokes feelings... hopefully positive feelings...
hippow and me are often wonder what is our design philosophy or trademark... we are still finding it... but i can see that we are on the same wavelength... besides really connected, we have similar thoughts about stuffs... when other may think of it as wth, or reallie??
these few days has been thinking about stuffs... like things that i should do, things i shouldnt, things/attitudes that i should change or keep.... things that affect you as a person, to lead your life. it is heavy. yeah. but should be done sooner or later.
found some things, read some lines from it, and try to analyse and even discuss it with close friend, but still haven really got the conclusion. maybe unconsciously i know it, but it haven really whack my head... but will really think hard anout it and do something about it. yesh..
it was also because few months ago, a close person of mine told me about my attitude about work or smth that i am working on.. she said that i am easily satisfied and tend to easified' matters, where i could have work harder, if i want.... i seriously have to agree with this though it may sound wth. i agree that on my years in academic school, i dont really have to study hard to pass... (not trying to brag..) and i tend to pass" my priorities because i am confident that i can do it... maybe not confident, but kinda fine with having okay, instead of excelent or superb..... yeah..
so, when it came to poly life, it sort of the same... though this time round, it is not advisable to have such attitude.. especially in design course, where you need to be unique and different from the rest.. and okay is not a good thing.... i work hard... but maybe not harder? maybe it can be better.... she told me that wadever i have done, can be better, because i can... that's really flattering man.... i always think it is okay, because it seems wow enough... but maybe i shouldnt think this way.... why not make it wow beyond speech.... ? when i looked back and think it's true that i may not really work realli realli hard during pri/sec school, but i realize that i work a little harder for design, maybe not the best yet, but i look at it this way... if i can work harder, and put my best effort for the things i love, it will be very very satisfying rite? and it will be wonderful beyond words....
so, wadever it is, i am working towards that though many obstacles are in the way, like bad habits, and temptations.... but hey, "behind every grey cloud there is always sunshine" (st ema told me that and it is really motivating!)
anyway, feel rather bored at home, and hibernating seems not that pleasing anymore, now try to finish up the big P, and get down to the real thing asap... yesh...
