Doing good is something i fancy as one of my hobbies. So you can say that today i spent a lot of time doing just that. Annie Dillard said --How we spend our days is -of course- how we spend our lives.

Meeting like minded friends. Holding cranky babies (one of whom looked like he considered himself crown prince)..walking round  and round clutching the hand of a really cute child. Re friending(i doubt thats a word, but i did that) some who had forgotten us. Singing to little boys who love music. Watching older ones play awesome music. Making the little ones laugh. Talking to the children..irrelevant matter about your day, that they dont understand nor care about but who are soothed at the sound of your voice..Singing silly nursery rhymes half forgotten, making up rubbish as you go.
Thinking about how much more fortunate i myself am. in so many ways. Being thankful. for everything :)

For at the end of the day, its not what we did -to them or with them..its whats left behind of them in us. A little bit of their hearts. A little bit of love.

Because the moral of that is - 'tis love that makes the world go round...'

for when i am weak i am strong.

but it was good...you know..the post..i wrote the whole story of...me..and maybe i may gather my guts again someday..sheesh..i still cant believe it..technology ..so SO ruthless..that i cant get back something i put my heart and soul into just moments ago..lost forever..

Is there a reason why?

some prayers are answered and others aren't?

Mostly, the ones whispered with a sigh,

and with a tinge of uncertainty?

It doesn't matter,

either way,

'cause it is isn't up to me,

i leave it to Him alone,..


I'm glad about those that are...though,

in the most surprising way

and it makes me

pleasantly shocked at what to say.

and those that aren't,

well, He know me best

and what i get,

i take without regret..

and with the solemn thankfulness..

of knowing that I'm blessed.

:)

.someone i know wants a painting done by me :) , i really am highly pressed for time and yes, even though i can do whatever..(people for some stupid reason--unknown to me-- think anything i do/paint/draw looks amazing) i think i shouldn't because i for one cant find my work as exemplary as they make it out to be. So i assume they say that to flatter me. I know sometimes -i said sometimes i do surprise myself and yes i do, but on further analysis of the subject i do find a lot of flaws. But finally i guess nothings perfect right?..might as well live with and try to improve for the better my perfect imperfectness :)

ooh, and yea, look what i painted when i got it into my head that i had to get back to watercolors after getting all rusty these years with acrylic. Had no choice though, since i do love acrylic..so i made them watery and ta-DA..we have waterylic! :)

blah..i need better paper :( ...but i like it still :)

I haven't been blogging lately, since I've been pretty busy around here. I don't think anyone reads this blog anyway (except the ones I've spoken to about it personally..~hiya!!) so anyway..hah! no ones missed me :) ..


I've have been busy. College and rains and meetings and painting and art..and most importantly ..-sleep ..But i have used my spare time quite fruitfully as you may see in today or the following posts..


It was a very boring Sunday afternoon..yesterday..and well..trying to jazz it up i was trawling through crafty blogs.(as in arty-crafty ..not anything to be suspicious about) This is a hobby I've recently acquired and really its fun..seeing the awesome things people make..and you know even though most don't give out their trade secrets(bless them) the stuff is quite amazing..


So i was doing the above and what do i see?..aah..wouldn't you like to know?..

ummm...what can you make with a few old dusty envelopes you'll never use, a piece of snake/alligator skin lookalike faux skirt material (similarly unused), a needle, white thread, glue and tape??

you can make a  lot of things actually.. but i made THIS! >>>

my lil' faux alligator/snake skin rustic book...

awesome huh?? :)

..still cant get over the cuteness of tiny tiny things :)

.. and i still have no idea what to write in it.. :(
