the one-man-show-circus


Somehow i feel that working as a freelancer (especially in design/advertising field) is like performing a one-man-show circus.

Sometimes you are the juggler
You’re juggling one job to another, and you must have a very good time management unless you want one of your job falls down the floor.

Sometimes you are the tightrope walker
You can’t afford even the smallest mistake. Because no one is walking with you up there. No one will save your ass if you slip and fall. No groupheads, no creative directors...it’s just you and your skill.

And sometimes.... you have to be the magician
As far as i can remember, we freelancers never include performing magic in our job description. But some people just expect us to. I wonder where they get the idea :p

Sorry for another rant :p the next post will be a new artwork. It's a promise :) Hehehe

define happiness.



Happiness is when you are contented for who you are, and what you have, and when you are thankful for every single day you’re still given life to live.

Happiness is when little things that happen in your life feels like magic.

Happiness is when you can say “enough” to yourself.

Happiness is the moments you’re able to laugh from your heart.

I think that would sum up my personal definition of happiness :D
And i believe each person have a different definition of happiness. And nothing, or no one, can interfere it. Never be trapped in other’s definition of happiness :)

“well, it's a lie it's a lie - don't you believe it.
if you're fine then you're fine - it's all how you see it.
oh, there never will be no conspiracy of happiness.”
(Duncan Sheik - I’m on a high)

PS : rants again, sorry for being so "unproductive" lately :p

ágætis byrjun (a pretty good beginning)

Helloooo! :D

This is my first post on 2010! It’s very late i know, i’ve been swamped with work i even worked on Christmas Eve and New Year’s eve...boo hooo :( give me back my holidays *sniff* But oh well, i think i should be grateful i have works to do! :D

As i’ve said in my previous post, this year (okay, last year) :D i decided to do handwritten Christmas cards and sent it to my friends, which turned out to be a quite-hard-job-to-do-after-a-long-time-not-doing-it-anymore :p hehehe, but at last there were 10 cards sent! :D

And guess what, the nice people decided to sent me something back *faints*. That’s very sweet of them! You couldn’t imagine how their mails had made my day :D Araki san even kindly sent me one of her adorable petit pouch! *sniffs* She was very generous indeed, i received a beautiful pouch, two petit paper cranes and her handmade-stamped new year card! ^^ Doumo arigatou Araki San!!! :D

My blogger friend Sara Hawley sent me a cute penguin card and an original drawing of two goldfishes! :D i like the drawing so much! ^^ Receiving something handmade really made you feel special! :D

And to make my january even more perfect, my dearest friend, Glenn, bought me Mononoke Hime books by my favourite artist, Hayao Miyazaki :D i read and re-read it and couldn’t stop staring at the beautifully illustrated pages. Thank you Glenn! a super big hug for you :D

And last but not least, my friend Yuliana Kusumaningtyas sent me the wool totoro hat i ordered several months ago :D it is veryyyy cute and now i hope i’m living somewhere snowing so i can wear the hat everyday! hahahahah! I want to wear it everyday here, but in Jakarta, well, it’ not a really good idea since the days are ridiculously hottt :( gah.

Anyway, i’ve been having a delicious January so far, and i hope you fellows are all doing well too :D best of luck for all of us in 2010!

PS : couldn't stop listening to ágætis byrjun by Sigur Ros :) Check it out, people, it gives me goosebumps listening to the beautiful song and staring at the breathtaking video. I hope someday i could watch Sigur Ros live in Iceland. Please please pretty please. >.<

Do you remember when is the last time you receive a handwritten card? :D i dunno why but this year i really feel like doing it :D i miss when we used to greet each other using handwritten cards instead of cellphone text or facebook wall :)

hugs and kisses to all of you!
