haven't really been on the blog scene for a while... and from what i gather from the advertising industry and just from observations as a whole, blogging seems to be on the downward trend nowadays. facebook's really where it's at... the current hawt item and where people will post notes (which are eerily similar to blogs) about themselves, their thoughts, etc. anyhows, despite the trend, i'd much rather blog than post notes on FB. :P
so that being said.... life since january 10, 2008 has been nothing less than a whirlwind. work has been, well... work: busy, exhausting, absolutely ridiculous at times, but still something that pays the bills and puts money in the bank. that being said, i'm starting to wonder where it is God's leading in terms of career and career development. ideally i have a ton of things in mind that i'd like to do and yet no idea as to what i want to do first nor what's in line with what God wants for me (i'll blog at another time about how my plans don't always match up with God's... or how God likes to throw me curve balls to test my skills at catching :P ) some of the things on the list include:
- working abroad for a year or at least staying abroad for more than just two weeks
- going to teachers college in hopes of teaching one day
- exploring other areas of design outside of advertising
- working in a place that actually has a creative / art director
- travelling and seeing places in this huge, yet small world
- getting married and having a family one distant day in the future
so those are just some of the things on the list. and thinking of these things and how to possibly achieve these things makes my head spin and could possibly cause it to implode / explode... so i try not to think about it TOO much. :P
ANYway... on the plate for the next few months also known as summer:
- California trip for cousin's wedding
- softball, softball, and more softball (Penitence for CCSA, and the girls Blitz team in an Ajax league)
- work... of course... oh how i wish i had summer breaks again :(
- getting the legs under Sketchpad ministries (creative arts ministry at ETCBC)
think that's about it... but considering how much time all of those things take up, i'm sure i'll be quite the busy nonetheless. again, i say this at the end of every blog entry, but i WILL try to blog more. perhaps people reading need to poke / bug me about it more often so i'll remember. :D anyway, back to work!
