• happy easter to everyone celebrating! 🐣•

took these two weeks ago when studying the first unit of Geography, now i have three units finished!

my tempo is not one i had orginially wished to have for revision season but i try not to punish myself too much for it, because i know i’m doing my very best ~

hello,,, I'm back? can you believe?

Hello guys! I’m finally back after a more than 365-day hiatus. I had to take a well-needed break to give way to my mental and physical stresses. I’m okay now. Much happier and more motivated than I was back. 

You guys missed my first ever bullet journal I made for 2018. However, that was just a trial round. I’m still thinking about whether I should post some of my favorite spreads from that journal. 

Now, I would like to introduce to you guys my 2nd ever bullet journal for this year! Will post my january spreads soon!

so many tasks, so little time?  - 21/10/2018.

LIST OF (PRODUCTIVE) THINGS TO DO ON HOLIDAY. 

Which does not include binge-watching Netfilx series or scrolling through your phone for 7 hours straight.

Anything related to visual arts

paint, sketch, doodle, fashion draw, design an outfit, urban sketch (this is the most fun, you should totally try it. Take references from Pinterest for a start), make funny & relatable comics (fun thing to do when you have free time but are too lazy to draw properly), digital art.

Journal

Fill in a journal throughout the holiday. Remember, you don’t have to have something interesting to write, because a journal should be filled with what you are thinking, what you are struggling with, what you are planning on doing, every page is about you and your thoughts. If you’re struggling to start, you can check out my post about journaling in case you need a little help 😉

Read books

No explanations needed. Here’s a few recommendations for light reading, do tell me what you think of these books (* is for my personal favs) :

The Shopaholic series (Sophie Kinsella)

Holding Up the Universe (Jennifer Niven) *

Fangirl (Rainbow Rowell)

To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee) *

Crazy Rich Asians series (Kevin Kwan) *

The Secret Garden (Frances Hodgson Burnett)

Write anything: poems, stories, blog entries

Try out new software

Something that will probably help in the future, since it’s the digital era and it’d be a plus if you can master some of these:

Adobe Photoshop (duh)

Adobe Illustrator

Corel Draw

Adobe Premiere Pro

Final Cut Pro

Adobe Lightroom

Take part in online projects

Small/forthcoming magazines are usually in search of a crew, you can try contributing as a writer, designer, or editor. Or you can submit a piece of your artwork to online (or even printed) magazines like Frankie, Local Wolves, Half & Half, Fringe, etc (find more on Issuu or Tumblr). I took part in Studioblr Archives 1st issue during holiday and it was one of the most fun and educating experience I’ve ever had.

Create your own project

Start an online shop for your handmade craft, write a compilation of short stories, make a portfolio for your artworks, put together your poems and drawings.

Learn a new instrument

Anything you think would be a stress-reliever, this might be a therapy once you go back to your head-spinning schedule. I’m currently learning to play ukulele, just because I love the sound and you don’t have to crack your head trying to play a certain song.

Expand your wardrobe

This is even more important when you’re moving on to college and have been spending the last 12 years with uniforms. Explore new style and outfit on Pinterest and Instagram, whether you want to be a gothic insta-baddie or a retro kawaii princess, just make sure you have more than black jeans and a hoodie to go with.
