Hello everyone!
Here's an update related to the lack of updates and new pictures recently.
I don't have a camera to take photos with nowadays. My camera has been facing some repairs because turns out the D7000 that I got was a defective one. And I have been super busy with catching up with my schoolwork.
About 3 grades to complete by this year!
2012 has been such a blink of an eye. Can you believe it's already half of May? o.O
It feels like March.
I think I should start relaxing the impossible standards I have for the content I post here for the sake of updating this website more often. More good stuff more often than perfect stuff that takes forever to find. Yup! Bearing in mind the poll I did last year about what watchers expect from a person that they watch. More good stuff, more often. I'll try to do this once I get my camera back from from the repair shop and have a camera to use.
To the lovely loyal watchers who are STILL watching me despite inconsistency in updating dA thank you so much. I am really grateful for the support.
I really look forward to having some free time after my school schedule has become balanced again and I've gotten in the flow of posting and creating new pictures! My schoolwork is really piled up now.
Thank you so much, again. To all the new watchers and to all of those who are still watching me. I am really grateful.
AND ALSO!
To all of the aspiring artists out there (And I am one too!) I strongly suggest keeping a journal that you just put absolutely everything inside.
It helped me rediscover my method of thinking as well as keeping your creativity and sense of perspective in check.
And to all of us who think and analyze alot, and because all of you are an artistic group of people and you have awesome thoughts, it helps clarify your thoughts SO much more. As I use it more and more I find that answers to questions and musings that I have come to me much quicker than before I caught the journaling habit.
You can stick extra pages into it by using sellotape. Write with colorful pens. Write everything. Stick everything into it.
Don't be intimidated by the pristine and beautiful pages of the journal, and buy a journal that you love looking at. Just because you are going to pretty much wreck the journal (quoting Kerri Smith here), that isn't an excuse to just buy a cheap ring-bound notebook. It has to be a notebook that makes your stomach twist in excitement. A journal book that you are emotionally attached to. It has to be a notebook you could imagine your favorite inventor/creative figure using at a serene Starbucks shop or in the middle of a field in the Alps.
Use it as you need it. It IS NOT a showpiece, it is a working journal. It isn't meant to be beautiful and super neat and trimmed. It is meant to be a bucket and a catch-all so that your mind can move on and explore other thoughts.
ALSO, for the BRAIN. Lots of exercise!
Whenever you feel bored or unstimulated or just downright uninspired as I often have lately, the thing to do is just exercise. Take a lovely one-hour walk or something. Bring the journal. Exercising helps to get the brain moving again and the neurons firing. And you'll feel more alert thus more receptive and this spurs alot of creativity and curiosity!
