Back to the drawing board

Me is now back from my not-so-creative self…

I just got my salary for this year and being an impulsive shopper that I am, instead of buying a pair of black ballet flats that I saw from SM, I bought an expensive set of colored pencils that I’ve been eyeing for at the Office Warehouse few seconds before the mall’s closing time.

And as I open the boxful of colored pencils, I grabbed my vintage sketch book and started sketching…

And realized that I need a new one.

And so instead, I opened my planner and started to think…

and…draw…and do some coloring…and such…

and as I waited for my files to compressed (and transfered to Coy’s flash drive) I managed to doodle some unknown characters that instantly came to mind.

And even if I slept very late, I was completely happy fool who managed to create something outrageous.

 (Seriously needs to buy a new sketch pad now… XD)

is hopeful…

2009 for me, I think, is one of the crappiest. Definitely NOT a great experience at all.

I was in the verge of losing myself because of some certain things that happened-friends departed, losing momentum, can’t keep up with the drastic changes around me, being sickly sick than the usual and as usual, being loveless than ever. it is as if I lost a part of myself… 

But  I’ve learned one thing during this ordeal-not to give up. 

God has been good because he’s always there, not giving me up, telling me in a whispering voice to always motivate myself and be as optimistic as possible if everything around me is now giving up from all the trials that came around us. And by trusting him, I became a stronger person than ever. 

It’s the most important thing that I’ve learned. And I’ll keep it as long as possible.

As the new year unfolds, I tend to keep track of the things that I need to do. To be more organized, and to always keep in touch with everyone, not to be sheltered from all the chaos outside the metropolis. I may face good and bad things around me but as long as God is there everything will be alright with the use of God’s strength and will.

May this year be a fruitful one for us all.

Hope that everything will turn out alright this year.

XOXO, Cristal
