life is but a chore

well, it's going to be 2 months soon. pretty fast, i must say. so far, so good. although i'm not sure how things are, at least, what i know is from my own point of view.

talking about point of view. come to think of it, everything boils down to perception, isn't it? i'll always remember this line: "it's not about how good you are, but it's about how good people think you are."

you can be good, but if people does not get the impression that you're good, well, they would think that you ain't good, no? and of course, if you're good in certain areas of your work but the relevant people don't get to see you producing that good work, then it basically boils down to nothing.

wait, isn't that enough to put on a show for the right people at the right time, then? and i would think the answer is yes. sucks, you say. and i say, damn right, it sucks. but then that's life. and therefore it is important to hang out with friends and savouring good food and drinks. it just helps to make you forget work temporarily. or a good workout works just as well too. in short, students who say they cannot wait to work just do not know what's in store for them until they start working.

but then, i guess the same cannot be said of someone who really loves his job. i guess i just haven't found my calling. a few times, i have caught myself thinking about pursuing photography, or just arts-related stuff, like designs and such. but then my practical nature will step in, reminding myself that one needs money to survive.

sometimes, i just wish i'm born with a silver spoon in my mouth.

ah, whatever. we're never contented with what we have (which is bad and wrong).

here's something i created recently.
