Happy 49th Birthday, Ma!

Lil' forward into the past, press forward to the future

You make all things new, yes, you make all things new

and I will follow you forward.

When I'd look at you- I know I'm new.

I'm the one whom I dreamt of becoming.

I’ll constantly remember what this voice said,

"Enough for the thrill and twirl;

 yield and loosen up in the breeze."

Angry bird pen holder

I've been thinking to make a pen holder since last week because my old pen holder is already filled. Thanks to this lovely and creative blog for yielding me an idea in creating one. Yey!

Materials:

cartolina

art paper

glue

scotch tape

illustration board

tissue paper core

On elegance

I did this while listening to Sara Bareilles' songs- woot! squeezing again my creative juices.:)

Give Yourself Permission to Be You

1. Stop censoring your actions. Be you? the only you there is. No one else is qualified for the job.

2. Have fun, have a sense of humor and have a million laughs.

3. Be an optimist; be the person you were as a child. Do something new, exciting and different. Look at life from a different point of view.

4. Get curious; ask a trillion questions, and experience the joy in looking for the answers.

5. Make new friends and cherish the old (some are silver and the others gold).

6.  Invite creativity to become as much a part of the fabric of your daily life as your everyday routines like making the bed, cooking meals, cleaning the house and caring for the people you love. Look at these everyday, seemingly mundane tasks and see where you can infuse them with spirit, individuality and fun.

Lively life

This quote by Gilda Radner, the comedian who died too young, is a great reminder of the importance of being you:


"While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die, whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness."

Letter to God

Thanks for creating the world, people and me. I’m grateful for I am alive.

You know what Lord, I’m happy being healthy, simple and normal. But I also appreciate when I become complex.

I’m accepting that LIFE MOVES IN A CIRCULAR MOTION. And on the process I get to know myself more, including my strengths and weaknesses. For each path I take means I’m stepping into unknown- well who doesn’t? I guess those who had chosen to stay on their safe zone.

I always said to myself that I don’t want to stay solely on my familiar world. I also want to that brave zone. I slowly take risks and challenges that I may see another ANGLE of the world.

Long angle means Omnipotence, just like you, Lord. How cool is that when I see a wider view of your creation.

Medium shot entails seeing a little closer any subject whether a person or surroundings.

Close up shot intends to look closely a person’s face or object’s beauty.

Extreme close-up means to glance beyond a human eye can initially see. (This is just an exaggeration)

Lord, I always admire photographers’ skill in taking photos for they capture your world. But still nothing can beat the eyes and soul that have seen YOUR PROWESS and MAGESTY.

Thank you very much, Lord.:)

I’m still dreaming I could capture the beauty of this cherry blossom soon.:)
