On learning Hiragana and AI
While I feel like I’m at a crossroad in my life, everyday, I’ve decided to teach myself a few things to keep me sane.
Someday, I’ll get to see those cherry blossoms too..
Yes, I still like to goof around.

Why is it this difficult?
Why is it so hard to get?
I’ve wanted and wished for nothing but this.
Only this.
And it still just wouldn’t happen.
Why?
Oh fuck.
First company outing.
Just the perfect way to start summer.
And I know there are still a lot of things I should look forward to!
(Thanks for the photos, Myel!)
I want to learn carpentry.
I want to learn sewing.
I want to learn painting.
Using watercolor and enamel.
I want to learn quiling.
I want to learn origami.
Ahh.. If only I have more time..
Or maybe, if I just don’t have work to do.
Spending weekend right
I didn’t go to work last Saturday. I woke up early thinking that I have to.. But then I thought, I’ve been a diligent employee for the past week already! I deserve a BREAK.
And so I grabbed my stuffs and went to a coffee shop instead.
And this is how my ‘quality time with self’ was spent.
I’ve always loved sketching. Ironically, I never got to really do it even though I took up architecture. Well, maybe I did during my freshman year. And I really enjoyed it that time! But it stopped somewhere.
So now, I want to relive that happy feeling I get when I draw. And this is my first attempt.
Forgive the disproportion and deformity.
Spending time like this, by myself, is also quite new to me. I always like to be around people who I am close with. And I do not prefer to be alone most of the time. But this was different. And I’m glad I tried it.
It’s also healthy to be alone sometimes, I think.
And after a few hours..
This is how my hand looks. Supposed to be. Either I definitely have to practice more, or my hand really looks that bad. Oh well. Lose-lose, either way.
Maybe I should start with doodles first!
- A good pencil;
- coloring materials;
- doodle pad (‘sketch’ pad seems like a bit of a pressure);
- a good book (if ever I find one at home); and
- the right playlist.
These are the things I need to get my “quality time with self” started.
And since I can’t get a tree house or a hammock in our backyard that easily, I guess I’ll just settle for the closest coffee shop.
And hopefully with this, I find my passion again.

You define what happiness is.
And for me, I want to keep it simple. Just as what a kid would think.
Flying kites,
The sky,
Friends.
“Thanks for being worth it.”
