INSPIRED

Over the river and through the woods …To my grandmother’s house I will go… maybe tomorrow

Hey there, ho there, and a good how do you do to all of you.

My mind is currently going in circles so please feel free to close the window if you want.

Do you ever get those days when you just want to put your feet up and just smile at the world. Yes, I am odd like that. I smile when I do not know what I am smiling at – especially these days. There is a sense of contentment that comes quite crazily these days, yet I long for something else.

I think I may be longing for the sea… yes, a day at the beach would be lovely. But I do have to wonder…. the kids are a bit sick these days, but I reckon that is to be expected, what with the crazy electricity, crazy weather, crazy everything! :) But you know what? My week is just peachy. ;) I feel invincible lately, and perhaps on a lighter note, I feel inspired.

See, I want to write all day long, and perhaps even take pictures here and there. Oh, I have created an account with Flickr, and its http://www.flickr.com/neverdainty.

Then there is this great frustration to write poetry and haikus. God, I wish I had the talent to do so. Plus, I have this great urge to draw again. Do you know how long it has been since I last drew anything? Ages. Okay, doodles only notebook margins not included, but you know, draw…

A few days ago, I was running high on approximately 4 cups of coffee while punching the keyboard, I took a few minutes of my time and drew away at my Page One notebook (no, not my Moleskine). It did not take me ten minutes really, but I came up with this:

Creative release and coloring books

This afternoon, amidst all coding that I was encountering, I suddenly had the urge to get my hands on a coloring book and just color. Do you remember how it felt when you colored to your hearts content? The smell of crayons on paper, or maybe colored pens on the paper… Didn’t it smell like pure old fashioned fun? Even the act of drawing on paper and then filling in the spaces with just about any color you wanted gave you a sense of fullfillment or fun – whichever you prefer really.

Back when I was younger, I used to have loads of fun choosing which colors I was going to use, and to make sure that I did not stay out of the lines – or sometimes I added some other details on the page outside of the lines. My late uncle taught me how to color wonderfully. To me, back then, he was the bomb for coloring so … so… wonderfully. He taught me a trick or two – which I later learned is a common practice when coloring. But for me, I will always remember that it was he who taught me how to color.

Be careful! Don’t Blink!

Well whaddaya know? September just came and gone!! Yowza!! [okay, this sounds eerily like the start of this post a month ago]

Well, let’s see.. for starters, September was quite fast.. I cannot even begin to remember what happened last month.. hmm.. Care to recount the previous month and see what’s in store this month? Okay, first things first, the month that was…[you can compare the previous post with this one :D ]

  • Wedding of 18 year old turned out to be just a joke – unfortunately, the joke was on me, and me, being the caring person that I am, fell for it hook line and sinker
  • Grandmother’s birthday last September 25 – she would be around 75 years old now
  • Mother-in-law’s birthday last September 23 – she would be around 52, I think
  • Kay turned 24 years old last September 3, and she had her birthday at the beach (pics…? maybe later)
  • A extremely huge problem was solved on the 25th.. so happy about this one
  • Finally went to have the ECG results interpreted, and it turns out I may not exactly have a heart problem, but more of a thyroid problem
  • Buluyagonz met on September 15 at Hayahay, Dumaguete City for pizza and drinks since Ate Pril came to visit [pics on this later]
  • I had a super hectic month – which explains for the lack of posts
  • I won a contest [third place actually] at Pinay Mommies Community – see winning post here.
  • Participated in another contest at Pinay Mommies Community, but this time I did not win but it was fun. See posts here and here.
  • Trex died, and I put up a fund “A Dollar, A Mile” so I can buy Trex II [see post here, and for donations, see sidebar. Thanks!]
  • Current fatness state = FAT
  • Wimpy Kitty [aka. Lori] broke out of prison camp.
  • I got the scholarship at prison camp! Will get expelled if I don’t pass

Wow… that was a lot compared to the previous month. But as you can see, I actually have “Gerardism” which is a sickness that is brought about by being close friends with rhardo of http://rhardo.i.ph and http://rhardo.deviantart.com.

Now for this month, these are the things that I foresee…

  • Alaine’s birthday on the 9th
  • Neil Ross‘ birthday on the 16th
  • Than’s birthday on the 15th
  • Dashi’s birthday on the 29th [not really sure though]
  • Supposed to play badminton for the SportsFest – I hope I don’t sprain my foot again
  • Hopefully on the 25th, we [the BuLuYaGoNz] will get together for some R&R/reunion somewhere with carme, bol, ate, mami, etc in special attendance
  • … cannot think anymore

So! :D That would be it for now… teehee.. Let us see which things will become a reality. Okies?
