Know what REALLY matters to you

Today is the 7th days since my surgery. My daily life isn't really boring as I exaggerate it. I check company's email, working on some freelance project, chatting with my boyfriend, posting some comments in facebook, read some books, taking a hot shower, listening to Jazz music...

My friend was right, when one used to be busy stay at home for a few days, one will become miserable, weird thinking, started to ponder why isn't the partner here. I would like to apologize to my dear, I know he is as hurt as my feet does. I see his tolerance on me. I know he gave his greatest heart to me. I know...

I am still reading "It's not about the coffee", every word is inspiring.
I owe it to myself to find the one hat that I can wear everyday in every are of my life.

Howard Behar was in furniture business. Someone asked him," What do you love? Furniture or People?" He was thinking, furniture is furniture. But is was also the way he expressed his creativity. When he thought more about it, the emotions and passion he felt about his work didn't have to do with the furniture, they had to do with the people.

This reminds me of:
People who know me long enough know that I always like to work as a waitress. I like to serve people. I like to give people surprise. I like to see people smiling, I like to see happy faces. It was the people that I loved- the interaction among people, serving other people, learning from other people.

Happy people is a matter to me.

Swing my way out

Picture credit: Emily Song

I am starting a new life. Nothing much to do with design, however a lot to do with skills of organization, interpersonal, self-discipline, motivation, intelligent, accuracy, efficiency... Perhaps this qualities will somehow bring me one step further in my career, even life.

Part of my life is going the wrong way, I've tried a lot of stuff, be it activities, hobby, sports, job nature. Some said I'm greedy. I was just eliminating things that are not essential to me. My path is getting clearer now, anyone celebrate this with me?

My smile and laughter are real. I know that I always have, just like a girl on a swing.

I want to be!

Whenever I see the word ‘creative multimedia’, I shiver. I doubt whether I am creative? Am I excelling in multimedia? I am so afraid of telling people that I am a designer. No! I am not! That’s the way I comfort myself. I do understand that you need to put in a lot of effort in order to be success. Therefore, I tell myself again: Focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. Guess what, I want to be successful! I just told my mom that I don’t have any New Year resolutions as I already have what I want. But it’s time for the next step. I need to plan on my future, sounds very cliché but yeah! I have to plan!

What I want to do in life? Well that’s a pretty tough question huh. People who know me know I like almost everything! I want to be inspirational, I want to be pretty, I want to be confident, and I want to be a WEB DESIGNER! Suddenly I thought of the fighting spirit during my sports and exercise is very strong and last long. Why never I apply the determination in my effort to make my dream come true?
