Happy New Year!

It's the beginning of 2016 and probably most people have their New Year's resolution. I don't really do this list because I have this belief that you don't have to wait for another year to change. However... I always set goals (which I don't consider as resolutions) because these goals runs for many many years.

For example, last year I've done several artworks and crafts. I'll just continue doing so and try to do more than I do the previous year. Another thing is updating my online journal (i.e. this one). I'll just continue blogging and will try to surpass the number of posts I did last year. And so on. 

Some on the other hand are good at keeping their resolutions. Good for you if you're one of them. Resolutions just doesn't work with some people like me. It's not because we don't have motivation or we luck enthusiasm on this kind of stuffs... we just  all have our own mindset. 

Anyway, I've already mentioned my goals (the art thing and blogging) but I've got other goals that I've been doing already for more than a year. 

Continue reading. 

Continue watching series and cartoon (specifically Adventure Time because I so love this show)

Continue drinking water. (few years I rarely drink water)

Continue making videos.

and more!

Just "Continue" whatever good things you've done regardless of what day it is!

Plans

Heeey...

So Christmas is over for 2015 and a new year is almost here! Time flies so fast right? I couldn't even remember all the things that happened this year because every thing just went by in a flash. Well, I guess I'll just take it as a positive thing since we can't let ourselves dwell in the past. Just keep moving on.

Having said that, maybe we should make some plans for the coming 1 to 3 months at least. I talked to some friends few days ago and we were talking about being the 90's kids. Oh the nostalgia that suddenly appeared while we were sharing our experiences during our childhood years. I know I just said that we can't dwell on the past but this past is an exception because it brings joy and happiness just thinking about those days in which your only problem is completing your assignments.

Anyway, as I was saying, our conversation shifted into creating a plan. This plan is bringing little traditions back into the present. I don't want to share it yet because for me it's somehow like a pact between me and my friends. I will however share it if it turned out to be a success so people can try it as well.

What I'm trying to say is that, make plans... no matter how huge it is. If there's a will, there's a way!

New channel, new video

Hello pixies! 

It's been a productive Saturday for me. Just this afternoon, I decided to shoot a quick do-it-yourself video for my an arts and crafts youtube channel. I also manage to edit it this evening and I'm happy to say that it's now uploaded! 

My other channel (the one I used to put my videos at) will still be active as that's where I'll be uploading videos not related to arts and crafts.

I'll also have another blog associated with my new channel so I can post written steps on it. I prefer that I separate random stuffs from my more subject specific channel. :)

The video above is a simple tutorial on how you can customize your keys bu just using one material: nail polish. Very easy to do and if you already have nail polish at home, then you don't need to spend anything! :)

Harry Potter universe is back!

If you are an avid fan of the Harry Potter series, I'm sure that you've already seen the latest photos for the upcoming movie related to the Potter universe, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. This film is scheduled to hit the theaters next year but every Potterheads like me are already talking about this.

When Eddie Redmayne was cast to play the role of Newt Scamander, I already got that feeling that this film will turn out great. Redmayne has an impressive list of roles and had even won several awards including Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards for his role as Stephen Hawking in the movie Theory of Everything. So there's already a high expectation for the movie's outcome.

I love this teaser photo as it's very simple (no beasts or creatures surrounding him) because it focuses mainly on the lead actor/main character first. It definitely grabs attention and brings an excitement to everyone who's been waiting for this film to happen.

Just my personal opinion.

Just a little bit of ranting here ok? (please stay away from this post if you're not fond of rant posts).

Everyone of us has a list of "pet peeves" right? I'm not just the only one who gets easily annoyed by small stuff that our 5 senses can't stay away from. 

Let me share one out of too many pet peeves I have...

I seriously SERIOUSLY dislike seeing social media posts about personal prayers. You see, I'm a religious person and this stuff shouldn't really annoy me but HELLO? Why would you put personal prayers online specifically on social media accounts? I just don't get it. Other prayers are ok to share like for example prayer for World peace, good health etc that everyone can pray on their spare time and everyone can relate to. But prayers such as example, thank you for letting me get the job, pass the exam, etc. I don't know. Somehow for me putting prayers has its limitation. Firstly, who will read it? Does God have a social media account? If you want to thank the Lord, you should talk to him directly. there's nothing wrong with being spiritual but you should know how to practice it correctly. This is just my personal opinion, maybe for others this stuff doesn't bother them. Oh well, everyone has a freedom to express their selves so by all means go continue what you're doing. I just want to express what's inside my head now because I have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to rant it directly to a friend -ehem Nanz! I'm pretty sure she has the same opinion on this matter as I 've ranted about this with her before. hahaha.

Okay I'm fine now. I was able to let my annoyance get out a bit so I'm good. :)

Looking Forward

There are two events I'm looking forward to... first is the upcoming trip next next weekend. This is a sort of hunting trip (not ghost, not animals) but more on food! hahaha! Yep, sort of a food trip with friends.

Second is the upcoming concert of One Ok Rock! Woot! woot! I seriously want to see a Jpop/Jrock band perform live and this is a big BIG chance for me. So I'm saving up so that I can afford the ticket! I hope this concert will pave way to other Japanese artist to perform here.

Anyhoo, I still have insomnia so I'll probably have blog posts during this time of the day/night? Whatever. I know you'll get what I mean.

Oh, I decided to make some Halloween hats for dolls which I'll be putting up on my store since it's almost Halloween time! I need to upload new items on my Etsy store and I'm squeezing some time for that despite the "sister duties" and other stuffs. I will definitely see to it that I will get back on drawing because I miss it SO much! Too many things I need to do but this time it's all about me. I'm no longer wasting my time for stuffs that I shouldn't have paid attention too much. I'm still doing my part but that's it.

What else... okay, I always find myself laughing or smiling like an idiot whenever I have this chat conversations with  my friends everyday, everynight. We have this group chat where we talk about our day and then later on our topic will shift to Aldub. If you don't know what Aldub is, you have to search it. It was pretty hilarious how we discuss this, like we are in an Anonymous group. Hahaha but seriously, we are solid Eat Bulaga and the concepts they create are truly brilliant.That's the only local show I am watching aside from the news.

Okay, enough about this random stuffs. I gotta iron some clothes first "sister duties" and then I'll continue what I'm reading which is Kite Runner. Ugh I can't finish that book (ebook to be specific) because I'm scared about the fate of one of the characters of the book even though I already know what will happen hahaha. But I always finish a book so I gotta continue reading it. It's a good book and I recommend you read it.

Dream on fairies!


*If you see spelling mistakes just ignore it, I've been typing like a mad woman because there are just too many things I have to say which I wanted to share. *

Here.

Well... I'm back!

A lot of things happened that I can't even remember everything. But I can say that I will need to take a short break from crocheting because that's what I've been doing for the last couple of months in preparation for the two events.

Oh those two events - were awesome! I'm not going to go on further details but I really enjoyed attending and selling my items. It was quite an experience.

Anyway, I'm trying to go back on track despite some disappointments I felt with recent events. I'm going to focus on my most important priorities because I've neglected them as my attention was focused on things that other people neglected before. This time, I think I deserve to step aside, chill and take a break... have a kitkat LOL.
