Clay Pots & Wooden Spoons

A few weeks ago, I might have been interested in jobs in New York but for now, I’m happy where I am. I’m looking to pursue the adoptable world I’ve started by getting art commissions for our creatures. I’m getting there slowly, I have 3 pets templated and quite a bit of sketches still needing to be worked on. Hopefully they’ll all be launched before my birthday on the 1st of April but I don’t want to rush myself. I’m panning it out and just so everything would run smoothly in the intros, I’m moving the tentative launch on May 1. I think that’s good enough to get some funds and commission some templates for the remaining lines.

I’ve never been a fan of long distance moving since I’m pretty much used to our town. If I do move, it would probably somewhere quite really far because I would look for a place that’s more provincial than metro. I prefer lazy days over fast paced living in the city and I have never been a fan of the dirty polluted smog filled air of Manila. I pretty much enjoy it here in Batangas where I can breathe clean air and enjoy quiet times. I can’t stand noise because it triggers my headaches so I’ve opted to work online for the time being rather than stay in Manila.

Mom has been quite active in finding clients for the pipes. She’s really enjoying being a product consultant for them. If we get a store in the future, she’ll do well being the salesperson. I think even selling Mopar performance parts would be easy for her. I, on the other hand, prefer being in the background. I like doing everything behind-the-scenes. I can do what needs to be done, I just don’t like being pushed into the spotlight. xD

I haven’t been sleeping normally for the past week so my skin is breaking out. I’m not sure if its just a simple pimple attack or if I have acne. I’m hoping its not acne because then I’d need to see the dermatologist for a good acne treatment. I don’t know what facial wash and moisturizer to use anymore. I feel that a few days after using the ones I have right now, my face breaks out. I haven’t eaten anything with nuts for a couple of weeks now to see if its the one causing it. I used to get lots of pimples a couple of days after eating peanuts so I have done my best to avoid it.

I have one vice and that is electronics. I really love gadgets and electronic items. If I win the lottery, I’ll probably spend a day shopping for things I can put in my personal media room. New kick-ass computer (because the one I have right now dies when I run Photoshop and SAI), a Cintiq tablet and an all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier machine. Then a large plasma tv, blu-ray, speakers, air-conditioning unit and a whole lot of loot. I’m pretty much a hermit and I can live in that room for a long time for work and play so the investment won’t be a total waste. I’d rather spend on that than waste it on booze.
