New Crushes!

The very manly MAN Blake Shelton

And the Beautiful Andrej Pejic.

Two ends of the spectrum

Long weekend

There are times when I feel like fate smiles down me. It's one of those 4 day long weekend. With the pressure from IELTS exam I think this break is timely. I planned to work on my rebranding. I have a separate tumbler for that (check it out sometime http://slimsea.tumblr.com). First day I wasted in the singing contest the Voice.

The original reason to watch this is Adam Levine but later on I seem to like Blake Shelton more. It made me realize that I am into BIG and TALL men. Blake is 6'5. Alexander Skarsgard is 6'4. Joe Manganiello is also 6'5...you see the trend here! hehehe

After a day's worth of cheering for the contestants and drooling over Adam and Blake I finally had my share of a day's worth of wasting time. Sunday was date time. Today I must make my break more productive. So finally made my logo. Yehey!

I will do the great reveal if I finish the whole brand identity.

Grey Skies

Ever since I got a new tube of colored pencils I have been itching to draw everyday. I just drew random stuff. Somehow a spark is ignited in me. I think I have been complacent with my lifestyle. I have not made any new personal projects. I was busy with work and somehow going to and fro from the office and home seemed enough.

Today we had a very important announcement at my office. I would mean that my job would require more of me. I am not really scared of change. Every now and then I welcome big changes in my life. It makes my life interesting. Right now I feel my job has put on more weight. Somehow I just confirmed that I am apparently an Art Director. I heard my Boss introduced me that way and never really thought that is my position. I just thought that maybe it sounded better rather than introducing me as just another artist. Hehehehe I guess I'm just in denial most of the time.

Besides new challenges at work I will face another hurdle soon. I will take the IELTS again. Sigh. I kept on postponing it and hope I don't need to take the exam but I need get my bearings and face my fear head on. I hope I get the required score so I won't take the damn exam again!!!

I know my life would take another turn. So I think its time to reinvent myself, art wise.

The skies are grey today and so I painted my nails grey. Hmmm Grey seems the theme of the day.

I see RED

I have a tendency to color coordinate everything. When I was in high school my favorite color was purple so all my stuff and clothes are either in purpler or different shades of it. Right now I am not really into Red. It just happens that my BF gave me a red external hardrive. When I got my laptop I got a red sleeve then later I bought a red casing. So after that I want my gadgets in red!

Here are present red stuff albeit the green earphones.

You can see here a Panasonic Lumix GF2, Blackberry curve 3G, jansport laptop backpack, Urban ears headphone and capdase ipod touch case. I want to buy everything but hopefully I get to buy one or two.

IELTS Back with a Vengeance

After my one month hiatus from my IELTS review I back on the bandwagon again. My first plan was to take the IELTS this July 25 but with unforeseen circumstances I was indisposed for two weeks and failed to catch up with the registration deadline. It's not that I am that eager to face my impending doom. It would have been like one big thorn off my ass.

I might not feel the urgency but its there. I cannot postone any longer. I must muster all my courage and finish what I have started. Last Saturday I went to class again. I did not know a single person there. But is not new to me. Every time I see new faces. The class was small. We were only five in the morning. By the afternoon a student skipped the class and we were only four left. Ma'am Daisy was the lecturer. I am not really keen on her teaching methods. But still she have several good points to share. I guess I just don't find her entertaining. I know, I know...I did not went there to be entertain but to learn.

It was an uneventful class. I got five mistakes at the reading test. It's equivalent to 8. But I know I really have to strive harder. I REALLY need to get the highest marks I could muster.

So here I am planning to self study. One of the things I learned after my absences was that there are no night classes. It sucks for me because its the only I have. So I only got Saturdays.

I planning taking in August. That is in a month. I really have to work on my writing. So here I am trying to practice.

Focus....

It's been awhile since I wrote something. My writing is all over the place. I found that my writing is like the way I am thinking. I tend to move from one thing to another. I know I should organize my thoughts. From my practice tests I found I have no consistency. I really NEED to learn this discipline.

Sigh...

I know I still got a lot to learn.
