The good and bad of being a crammer

It is already 2:17 in the morning and still, my eyes wide open (i had a cup of coffee and finally, I've experience the so called afternoon sleep :P so wat did u expect?).

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

ohayoo gozaimasu :)

NoTeS : All these words were keep flowing in my mind so i have no choice but to write them down. My imagination take me off into somewhere place , somewhere in the province perhaps for wanting to escape the city life even just for the short period of time and for my craving to witness the beautiful sunrise and I included some of my writings I've done before. Don't expect great grammar here coz I'M NO ENGLISH! And if everything I've written is having similarity with another, it is just merely coincidence.

OHAYOO GOZAIMASU

5 am in the morning, every one is still sleeping, everything is still in black. I got up and composed myself, I sprint to door and stumble on floor. I gathered all my energy and winch up on the ground; I hurried to the backyard and got my bike. I ride on it and began to conquer the quiet whole wide road, the luminous way that lit by series of light post. I move the pedals swiftly as if someone is after me; as if I’m on a race and the wind that blows against on me makes me shiver. I release the handlebars slowly and spread my arms widely feeling as if I’m the king of the world.

And then I halt, I get off on my bike and began to walk along with it in the woodland. I get accustomed to the sound of dried leaves every time I step on it, It is like a music on my ears, the music of nature that so nice to hear. Then I reached the top where I could see the whole city. I tell you, the view is indeed awesome! This is the place where you can say you are on the top of the world! No… UNIVERSE! The lights that’s comes from the houses, buildings and posts looks like a million stars and diminishing little by little for the sun will show up with in a minute.

And then at last the splendid view I've been waiting to reappear again is now becoming visible. The serene skies, the beautiful tones of the sky, the rays of sunlight that slowly detonating below the clouds, and the fog that can do a really fantastic effect on this very tranquil morning.

I let out a sigh.

If life is just like this, so calm and relaxing every one will be happy everyday ^_^ no one will be lonely nor sad, no more melancholy moments nor gloomy day but this is ain't heaven nor the promise land, everything is bound to happen.

Life sometimes okay, sometimes not. Every one of us experience the hardship, the exceptional happiness of the world that we living on.

We learned a lot of the things as we go on with our life. And as an individual, I realized as you explore the reality of the reality, the more it’s hard for me to handle. Sometimes I think life is so boring or is it only me? Because I chose to think in that way or perhaps I keep on thinking and analyzing on what the heck is happening in me. Even me, wonder why I end-up like this. This is not a usual me. I even have a feeling I'm starting to lose my true identity, the real me or I just started to become matured? If it is how maturity stage flow... I don't know if I like it or not. Like it because I understand the world and I hate it because I don't like what I understand.

I let out a sigh.

I stand up straight and lift my hand and form a semi-triangle around my mouth and...

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH........ I scream at the top of my lungs.

This how I meditate myself, this is how I start-off my day.

OHAYOO GOZAIMASU ^_________^
