El Perfeccionista By Alberto Vazquez
I was looking at some illustrators' work and found this call the El Perfeccionista By Alberto Vazquez and I guess sometime I could relate to this. At times I think I am guilty of inflicting unforgiving expectations on myself. Somehow I like to compare with others and think I am not good enough. Perhaps this has to do with the competitive environment I live in and I can be a little insecure at times but I guess I am learning to be more forgiving to myself and look at the bigger picture. Yeah, this will also be one of my goals and note to myself for this year, too. I think the green is always greener in the other side and I guess we just have to be contented with what we have and make the best out of it instead.

I found this youtube clip about two cats talking and it is so cute I have to put it on my blog. Look:
All things end and new things begin. I hope the ending of 2009 brings about beautiful new beginnings even though the nature of all that exists are impermanents.
Have a great and happy 2010 to all!

On a personal note, I have applied for a part time multi media graphic design course which will be starting on the 25 Jan and I am thrilled.
I have to say that I have been listening to "I'm not a robot" thanks to my sister, Bertha.
The MTV and words are completely awestruck:
Marina and the diamonds: I am not a robot
You've been acting awful tough lately
Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately
But inside, you're just a little baby
It's okay to say you've got a weak spot
You don't always have to be on top
Better to be hated than love, love, loved for what you're not
You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable
You are not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
You've been hanging with the unloved kids
Who you never really liked and you never trusted
But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins
Never committing to anything
You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings
Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing
I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable
I am not a robot
You're loveable, so loveable
But you're just troubled
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Can you teach me how to feel real?
Can you turn my power on?
Well, let the drum beat drop
Guess what? I'm not a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot
Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot

I know its been a while since I last blogged. To sum it up, I am not well and there is this misunderstanding gone bad. My intention was never want to harm anyone but in anger, I think I had typed otherwise in smses.
There are some changes and I am not sure what future holds. I also happen to have hundreds of emails and some comments to clear.
Do give me some time or something. I am feeling a bit confused really.
