Thanks for holidays vacation I have a lot of time to catch-up with my beauty rest aka sleep all-day. Lately, I was having a sleep-deprive due to some people that badly need my help :P. I sleep around 2:00 am and wake up around 5 am--- gah! jst 3 hrs of sleep???? no wonder why I have a low blood pressure, loss some weight, get dizzy, coughing like an old-man sick and always feel so sleepy. (If helping people is not good for my health so why would I bother myself to help people? :P hehehhe just kidding LOLz). It is just a matter of TIME MANAGEMENT!!!! (how I wish, I posses that skill).
Aireen is a dull artist (I know that by heart) notwithstanding there are some human being who believe in my capabilites (blessed them). I don't know if it is only because they don't have any options or I've really deluded them with my arts ^_^ or perhaps, in their points of view, I'm a great artist! (I like the last statement *big smile*).
I want to be more creative. I want the ideas keep flowing like a river. I want a lot of time.
If I have these three I can work with a rhythm and everything will go smoothly. I've searched and read just to make these things happened. I performed, I followed, and I practiced all the tips they have given and happy to say, it is very effective.
To give you an idea, here some:
Believing. Start by looking at your beliefs about your own creativity as well as that of other people.
Immersing. You can't be half-hearted about making ideas happen; the creative process requires a great commitment from you.
Idea-generating. You can generate ideas both unconsciously and consciously. Your neurons chatter to one another across these states. Idea-generating depends on how much you immerse yourself in something: to ask questions, you must feel sufficiently engaged and interested in a subject to be intensely curious.
Creating a vision. When you are clear about your beliefs, totally immersed in your subject and generating lots of ideas about it, creating a vision should come to you very easily.
Reality-checking. Once you have a vision, you need to try it out on other people. You must reality-check to improve, of course. This is the nasty business of seeking criticism.
Piloting. Many ideas fall flat because people talk about them, get feedback, but never act to create anything. The best way to convey idea to someone else it through, for example, a model of how new design could work, a plan and sample chapters from your novel. Piloting leads to more reality-checking and it is when you pilot ideas that you seriously start to sell and improve them,
Realising. This is the stage where you may think; I've really done it!. There is a strong probability, though, if you have a relentlessly creative spirit, that you are also immersing your-selff once again in new subjects, and generating ideas, as you gear up to go on to your next scheme.

On the other hand, I'm still in a hurry! yeah, sure I know how to generates ideas and make them happen but BRILLIANT-IDEAS-COMES-ONLY-ON-VERGE-OF-TIME!!!!! oh man! I love cramming because my mind work really fast on that state and proud to say I can meet the deadliest deadline (okee not always but most of the time hehehehehe^_~V). Dang! I hate the consequences of being a crammer! aish! (point to the 2nd paragraph).
Here are the products of my kindness:
1. Additional text - Just a minor modification on Ka Jay Fadrillan's wedding invitation. Who rushed to our house to seek for our help during the non-working day (oh i love government holiday). He already have a concept on his invitation so all i need was to think where will I insert/ put the additional text (some verses from the bible). The invitation is actually overfilled with text and images, unintelligible to read which required you to move it closer to your eyes than intended. I would suggest to redo the design but the time refrain me for I was actually committed to another task which is again, bounded by time.
2. Audio Visual Presentation - Babang, a good friend of mine asked me to do their AVP which will be shown on their wedding reception. I said yes for thinking it was only gonna be drag and drop easy-and-not-time-consuming-task not until she demanded for unusual avp. So okey I need to squeeze and squeeze every part of my brain to produce and meet what she wanted. Brainstorming on my own, having a nice conversations with myself, and slipping the word "AHA!" in my mouth, exhibiting my own eureka moment enough for those people who are surrounding me to think I'm losing my sanity (Hey! I'm just THINKING! then don't THINK at the public place! pabo!). I jotted down every idea that popped-up in my head (for fearing I will forget it), i used lots of paper due to a myriad of rewriting and resketching the story however I did not used all the things I have on those papers instead I followed what my mind dictates on me (that's why sometimes I don't want to do the what you called pre-writing thingy, just a waste of time, I thought coz I end up doing the IDEAS-THAT-COMES-OUT-ON-THE-VERGE-OF-TIME )

3. Wedding Invitation - Just I thought, I can resume my normal sleep at night and can breath at the regular intervals again when my mom blurted out i have to make a wedding invitation for the nephew of their resident Pastor. Huwatttt????? can I discommend? oh man! T_T and take note, I only have one week to do the 50 invitations! aigoo TT_TT --- totally clueless on what Im going to do and it was a race against time. Sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.sigh.
And with all my complaints, I'm quite satisfied on what I've done and very pleased with their complement weeeeeeeee ^____________^ BANZAI! BANZAI! BANZAI!

NOTES:
I've noticed all these people are having the same motif on their wedding which is fuchsia and all of them are heading the life in ministry.
I'm not a wedding planner nor organizer nor anyone that has something to do with a wedding. It is just that that! If you are wondering why I'm always involved in this thingy then count me in!... i don't know!
And please if ever, just incase, someone asked me to do their wedding invitation, avp, etc, please notify me a year before the wedding hehehehehehehehehhehehe XD lolz
