"Hindi ka ba napapagod?"




After accepting a corporate job last November, I lost a lot of time for my art. Basically, weekdays are for my day job while the weekends are allotted for my art. Although I make sure to spend some time over the weekend for painting, it saddens me that I can't give much time for it as much as before.

I cannot paint for over 6 hours during the weekends. I am too tired for that now. Well, I always had that luxury when I was unemployed freelancing.. but now..

Honestly, it's pretty tiring. People usually rest over the weekend but that'st not the case for me. I usually hold my workshops on Saturdays and as I've said, I paint on weekends as well. It's not that I'm complaining but I wished I had more time (a longer weekend perhaps? lol).

People are asking me, "Hindi ka ba napapagod? Pati weekends, may ginagawa ka pa para sa art mo?"

I always just smile back at them. "It keeps me alive."

7 /  52 : Relax

It can be pretty tiring but it keeps me alive. It keeps me sane. Whenever I paint, I forget about everything around me. My focus suddenly shifts to my art. Although it takes some time to come up with an art work, it makes me giddy every time that I finish one. The process can be long but it is fulfilling. It's satisfying. Simply put, it makes me happy.

Maybe this is what they call passion? No matter how tired you are, no matter what happens, you'll keep on doing it. No matter what happens, you'll keep on pursuing it. Is this what this is?

What I just know right now is that nothing will stop me to pursue this. I will continue painting and writing my letters. No matter what.

I have never been in love on something that I do before.
This is the first time and I am not planning on giving that up.
I am not planning to stop doing what I love.
Never.

How long will I love you
As long as stars are above you
