Inspirations from junk

2011-08-12T09:45:00.000-07:00

Here is a collage photo's of Joe's creative junk. We've been going to a lot of flea markets and garage sales, I know right? It's actually a lot of fun. My inner crafty side has been awakened, and I like it!
Sometimes I feel like I'm totally losing my edge and everything is changing. Like I'm changing and doing something completely strange. Maybe it's part of getting old. Late night drinking and late night shows no longer interest me. My feet gets tired easily and I get drunk way too soon, taking shots makes me gag and when I'm out, all I could think about are the shows that I need to catch up on. Yes, very much so, I am now bored of my same old routine, so maybe changing is for the best.

Time flies, a month feels like a week. Sometimes I still find it hard to believe that it's been more than ten years after high school. I can say this much, aging has nothing to do with growing up. I feel like I still have a lot of growing up to do, and I am very lucky that I have such amazing people in my life, who I can always count on when time gets tough.

Rantings: What goes in and out of my brain...

2011-08-10T09:03:00.000-07:00

Please take a chill pill and relax. It's too early to be mulling over past social situations where you wished you could have handled it better. That's what I was telling my brain this morning. In all seriousness this happens to me all the time, and I still feel pretty embarrass about it even though I can't even remember the time it happened. This usually occurs in the morning on my daily commute to work.

I don't think it's an issue, I'm sure someone out there is probably doing the same thing. I would like to address it though, so I can stop doing it. Just let go and don't sweat the little things. I took a photo of the sun and some pretty purple flowers with my camera phone this morning. Enjoy!

Upcoming Adventures: Trip to South Dakota and Wyoming

2011-08-09T08:15:00.000-07:00

What can I say, except for I am so pumped for this trip. It's been a while since I went on a long road trip, I think It may have been back when I was 13 yrs old?. All I could remember from that road trip was that we were driving with the rest of my family on this really long van from Chicago to New York City.

It's a bit overwhelming because I feel like I won't have enough time to prepare and research everything that I need for this trip. I've been taking nature photography tutorials online, as I would be getting plenty of opportunity to do point and shoot at wild life and beautiful nature scenery. I have been gearing up too, thank God for a good friend who has willingly allowed me borrow their DSLR camera.

Here are our Tentative Plans as of now (September 10th - September 17th)
First Day/Saturday -Mitchell South Dakota

Second Day/Sunday Mitchell to Rapid City

Third Day/Monday Rapid City all day, leave Rapid City then an exclusive tour to a coal mine at Gilette Wyoming

Fourth Day/Tuesday leave Gilette Wyoming to Cody Wyoming

Yellowstone Tuesday night through Saturday morning, leave on Saturday morning arrive to Chicago on Sunday 6 p.m.

Sigur ros and Mum are definitely going to be on my road trip playlist and a little bit of Mandy!

Inspirations: My Trip to Paris/London/Venice/Barcelona

2011-08-08T09:12:00.000-07:00

Having this as the first entry of my blog, I think we are off to a good start. I just got back from my vacation from Europe. Having that experience, I can honestly say that I am very fortunate that I was given such great opportunity to travel in four different countries along with great friends and families.

Travelling really does change your perspective on a lot of things, Here are some of the things I would like to do to improve myself.

- Working with hands (arts, crafts, house chores)
- Don't sweat the little things.
- Be more Social (email or call friends)
- Write more (This is how I started this blog)
- Fix up my new apartment and throw a party with my closest friends and families.
- Keep making that peanuts so I can travel more.

Personal Discoveries:
-Pizza 2000 in Venice, One day I am going to try to attempt making those delicious thin crust pizza.

I will try to do these things and hopefully this blog could help me with it. I will try to post random things once in a while so check back soon.
