Priority #1

Take a really deep breath,  concentrate, prioritize and most of all don’t panic… I keep repeating these words to myself these past couple of weeks.  With all those things that I want to do,I guess I need more than 30 hours a day.    

Just the other day, my passion for bag design all came back to me in an instant, so I ended up rummaging though my boxed stuff to look for that piece of cloth that I bought while traveling a few years back. While thinking of pursuing that [weekend class]  bag design course, it suddenly hit me that the book is still and always waiting to be written. With all the busy work schedules these days, I was left with no other better options but to do the writing on weekends since I need extended working hours almost everyday. Not to mention, the domestic chores that I need to do every weekend,  I guess hiring a weekend maid is a not very practical option for me these days. So, I decided that it’s the book that I must prioritize since the deadline that I set for it is just around the corner now.  Really can’t wait to see those beautiful photographs printed on glossy papers of a hardbound book, sitting on the coffee table.    

 Below is a random sample page with reduced image resolution. It’s from the Maldives part of the book.

My very first book

I have been wanting to publish my own book for a few years now. One day I woke up realizing that I should not let other things get in the way if I really want to pursue an important goal. Yes, I may not be in perfect shape(emotionally) right now, and there are other crazy stuff in my life now but as they say……. life has to go on no matter what.

My first book will be a coffee table book featuring beautiful travel destinations that I have actually visited. I’m currently working on it little by little every night  and hopefully it will be out before the year ends.

One of those days again

One of those dreaded days again… well, at least  I’ve got other things to do on the side that keep me sane. Thanks to a good friend who keeps pushing and reminding me  to do it little by little everyday, that really helps.  The truth is, I only got 6 months to finish it, 6 brain-crashing months and I havent properly started yet. It should be about  20%  completed by now. Guess I really need to seriously focus and get things done the soonest possible time and start building the path through the place where I want to be… to do the things that I want to do.
