Inside the studio there was not a hint of a ‘special’ day. It was not until I met my friend Stephanie for lunch and she said to me ‘Happy Easter!’, that I realized it was that day again.

Remember back in kindergarten and primary school, we would celebrate the day by decorating eggs and what not. Then in middle school we were forced to listen to story of pure myths told as truth. Of course, for someone as areligious as me, there was really nothing much to celebrate for, except, my first 3D print was done, and, just so happens, Jielu had a basket that I borrowed to carry my goods back up to my studio desk.

Beth reminded me not to put all my eggs in one basket. I ignored the advice, trusting that my luck is more reliable than wisdom. Well, they arrived safely at my desk, ready to be assembled soon into the final model of the final project of my first year at the GSD.

And here:

‘Happy Easter’, to those who still cares :-)

So here it is, the 40 dollars New Year’s Blessing delivery. 23 Recipients total between me and Jielu (15 for me, some hand delivered).

I regret that we weren’t able to produce more of these cards but I swear I would’ve liked to include at least 10-20 more people into this list. Now if you DO get one from me, you know that you’re very special. OK?

The three places where I spent most of my day.

I settled upon the theme for my personal promotion design while I was on a plane ride about a month ago. From that point on, the business cards were printed and stamps were made in two days, the blog is now redesigned (and migrated), and I’m working full speed on my portfolio. Other stationaries to come.

First thing first,

I just realized that what I thought I published on my SH trip is actually sitting in my draft box all this time. Without further ado:

[2009.3.13] Too much has happened, in too short a time. I wish I had a recorder so that I could share with you all the amazing things I have heard and seen. I regret that I could only write, and to share this with you so sparingly with my unskillful communication. More →

This is a background I made for a website that I am working on recently. I am putting it up here as a teaser :-)

Done with photos I took years ago and a lot of brushes that I got from BrushKing. Please comment.

I didn’t start this website. I would have.

They say Benjamin Franklin created this system for himself to become a better person.

Easy rules: Set up Positive goals and Negative goals. Give them a weight (depending on how important you think it is to do that everyday). Check them if you did that thing that day, good or bad. The objective is to score high :-)

Things in my list:
———————–

Positive goals:
• Draw
• Practice Guitar
• Meditate (+2, meaning double weight)
• 7 Hours of sleep (+2)
• Read
• (Watch)Movie
• Write (Something I haven’t done for a while, on a blog at least…)
• Speech(Practice, like reading Poetry out loud)

Negative goals:
• Slurring
• late (-2)
• Cutting people off

———————–
What are your goals?

p.s. I found this joesgoals thing while I was looking up on goals for 2009 (:-P) while I was in SH, after reading It’s Not How Good You Are, But How Good You Want To Be by Paul Arden.

—Ingenuous (adj.)

Innocent and unsuspecting.
