NOTHING MUCH

Jan 19, 2014 10:24












So I'm starting to fall victim to the perks of being unemployed. I only have 59 cents in my bank account haha, that's really pathetic to be honest. I didn't handle my money well and now I'm waiting to get another gig so I can order some stuff from a client and buy school materials. On Tuesday I'm going to go to see if I can get another job at the University, this time, I might end up working in the gardens which sounds less stressful than my previous job because none of my favorite activities will be compromised by another person's critic eye and I will not loose interest in my stuff, plus, the money is slightly better so, let's see what happens. I haven't been up to much stuff lately to be honest, other than, maybe, on March, some artists and I will be doing a Women's Festival, I'm scared but excited... I feel that people are trying to break my social shell and that's very uncomfortable for me but at the same time I'm glad that I'm starting to open up (?); it's a confusing feeling. Hopefully that'll happen, so it'll be two important events that will go directly to my resumé as of this year.

I read a book (yay for me). One of my goals for this year is read more because I feel I haven't done it in a long time. I read Haruki Murakami's "After Dark". I think it was a good light lecture, I read the whole thing in a day and it wasn't even a continuous reading, I stopped at many points during the day, but anyways, it was nice and refreshing. It's the first book I've read by Murakami, and while I'm sure this wasn't his best work, I'm excited to read more of him because 1) I've read/heard very nice things about his work and b) I liked "After Dark", so I already have a lot of Murakami's books in my tablet.

Oh and I also had my first wedding... let me tell you, I'm scared, I'm really scared. Many things went wrong that day. My flash stopped working, that's one, I missed a couple of important moments, and many other stuff... I've been uploading some sneak-peeks and so far, the bride (who I happen to know from high school, and I consider her my friend) loved the photos I've been posting, so that's a relief, but still, I had a lot of personal conflicts with how things happened in the wedding that I feel really frustrated that I couldn't do my work the way I wanted to do it. I'm completely new to this so I don't have much experience with this kind of stuff. Things were out of control and oh well, I won't go into much detail but I will post some photos here soon. I noticed that I'm soooo out of practice so I'll try my best to shoot everyday. I should've started a 365, ha, but considering my previous failure with the first 365 project I started I think, in 2012, I'll just focus on shooting any time I can, to be honest, and Instagram won't count (no matter how much I like some of the photos I take there, hahaha). So hopefully you'll be seeing more posts? Or not? I don't know. Hopefully I'll post more drawings too.

How's your year been so far?
