I feel like I have been fueled after getting that much needed vacation. That's good, right?
I was feeling a little bit under the weather since April, so getting out of the vicious cycle of work and sleep and eat is really, really good for me.
Haven't been doing a lot though, but I am already planning things for the next months. One of those is creating more! Yes, I've been a bit rusty with my painting skills as I have not practiced consistently. Hopefully, with my motivation and enthusiasm, I'd be able to paint after office hours (goal is up to 3 hours practice) and by end of the year, I want to have that exhibit! Crossing my fingers for that, and I have to work hard as well.
Another one on the list is getting that kick start to finally getting that certification I have been dreaming of, but never had the courage to put effort on in the past years.
Looking back on my first job interview, I was asked how I see my self ten years from then. I answered that I have that title already. And that I am successful in my career, has a family, etc. None of it materialized. Yet. Maybe it is not time for me yet, but I am giving it a shot. I admit this lag was because I was afraid - of failure, and of the unknown - but, hey, life smacked me down and taught me that everything is unknown and I have the power to make everything possible. I realized as well that fear of failure won't do any good to me, or to anyone for that matter; and it will be more frightening to look back someday and regret that I have not done anything!
I am sharing with you some of my works below:

Hopefully I create more of these babies in the weeks to come so I have something to share.
Here is to the next half of the year, with dreams and hopes brimming!
