the worth of work

My boss called me to her desk and let me read this from an art book that she’s going to give a painter friend of hers. Sabi ko, parang gusto niyo na ako magresign ah. :P

The Worth of Work

My key to a happy life is to love your work. There are many, many 9-to5'ers, clock-watchers who can hardly wait for the weekends. I feel very fortunate to be blessed with a skill that makes me anxious, when i wake up, to get into my studio to feel the joy creating. When I look in the mirror, shaving myself, I say, "The big guy upstairs has given you another day of fun and games-squeeze it all out and give thanks that life is so sweet."

A Beginning of Something Wonderful
by Orange and Lemons


Your gentle means
And all seems to commence
A brand new pace in me
Hope it’s not a blunder
Especially when I uncover
Dig deeper
And I wonder

When I get near you
I feel something deep within me
You know you bring me to new heights
I’m like a big balloon filled with hot air
Ready to explode
Each and every time I kissed you

The more I’m with you
The more it feels like
This could be a beginning of something
wonderful, yeah, yeah
The more I’m with you
The more it feels like
This could be a beginning of something
wonderful, yeah, yeah

Your lips are movin’
Your voice is oh, so soothin’
You wear a face that lives in my dreams
Where did you come from?
And I wonder

..This could be a beginning of something really wonderful!

aniLaOOONG weekend

i'm back from anilao after spending a couple of days just hanging out with my friends. quite a lot of them: mike,claire,biboy,may,jeje,jaja,gehpot,badz,robin,eric,wally and jing. we did the usual watersports and snorkelling. it just sucks that we saw three guys taking out live corals while we were snorkelling. they're most probably locals who earn their living selling them for aquariums. the sad state of the philippine environment. and i feel bad about myself for not being able to do anything about it.

aside from those nature killers, it was actually a relaxing weekend for me. i didn't want to tire myself out so i just tried a few activities unlike before when i wanted to get my feet wet on everything. and would you believe i didn't bring my camera? i knew that jing and mike had their canon dslrs so i just left mine at home. it's also one of those times that you just don't want the usual stuff that you do. like changing your gym routine coz your muscles aren't reacting anymore. that's how i feel sometimes when shooting the same things over and over again. the thrill isn't there anymore. i really need something to boost my interest on photography again. my creative juices aren't flowing anymore.

back to work...it's monday again tomorrow.
