April of Designs Of Artisan Blog created a Handmade Postcard Swap event last November. I was pretty excited about it since a month before that I just joined Postcrossing (I sent ready-made postcards for that though). Snail mail is still the best. Most especially if they are handmade. I'm thankful for those people who still find meaning in snail mails! :) We have to make two postcards for two people and we'll receive two from them as well. Although I am not so artsy enough, I managed to create something handmade. I wanted to paint but the idea of making a design made up of cut outs would be lovely (also because I suck at painting, haha). So, I decided to create a hot air balloon-inspired card for Rochelle and Aya. Also, at the back of the postcard, I wrote a haiku about hot air balloons. Slowly going high up across the sunny sky. Watch birds travel by. I hope someday I could ride in a hot air balloon and watch over the world like a boss. :p ...
How amazing it is to realize that over the years, the little things that I've done make up the big things that I at least consider. For other people, I may not have done enough but then I don't live up to someone's standards anymore. (I used to and it's ugly). I'm thankful that I have documented almost everything in life. Some things don't change but I'm glad most things do. Oh life , you are like a plain sky to me at times but whenever I look back to all the days I've lived, you showed me the brightest rainbow in the sky. I will do more little things, step by step. And so, when I look back again, I am sure it's going to be bigger than what I consider now. It's inspiring; it's addictive to live life simply but progressively. So I will go on and on until my last days. We only live once , so we might as well do things right.
At 20, I thought that life will be easier to live; that I have experienced enough to face problems on my own. I thought all my choices are going to be all right. I thought that I can do everything I want because I am technically not a teenager anymore; no one could stop me from all my choices . So I spent days outside the city mostly, going to other places within the region, going to friends' houses and eat/drink a lot, many nights were spent at the beach and many days ended up not able to talk because I drank too much alcohol. It was fun. Everything were all I ever wanted. I planned summer outings and even regular days and nights whenever there are no classes or there's a holiday. I enjoyed everything I did. I loved every single bit of it . It was perfect. At 21, I admit that I was undecided but just fine. I was puzzled and suddenly I became focused on other things. It was a year of realizations for me. Realizations on life in general and then going through each bit of ...
