i like (and hate, but that would be for some other snippet in the future) the fact that people have the capability of getting used to things.

i like to stretch my horizons, more like the personal kind not in the grown up kind. blah! too hard to elaborate.

anyway what i mean is, i express myself more with words so i want to try to make some artworks that wouldn't involve words. since in our household i am the only sister that doesn't do visual artwork except for a kindergarten's doodle but i'd bank on that. :)) maybe it's the lack of my talent in that genre, or my lack of skills, or probably my lack of patience...i don't know. but i'd like to find out where this "one-artwork-a-week-strictly-with-no-words-no-letters" would go...

i also like to take "saving up for a dslr camera" a challenge. a challenge i struggle everyday. since my mind always tempts me to buy this and that...i need to have this and that thoughts. and yes i really really want to have other things, like a typewriter which i think no one would even bother giving it to me as a present for christmas this year and the fact that i have these itching thoughts that "what if no one's selling typewriters anymore?" or "how much should i save for a typewriter?" and "how would i sustain the 'ink' on that thing?". but what the hell I still want a typewriter and a dslr camera. My time frame for the typewriter is this December, so please Lord, I hope I have enough loving family and friends who’d give me a typewriter or a means to have my own typewriter without impending my want for a dslr camera. I know, I ask to much, but PLEASE! :D

I also want a new pair of apple headphones for my ipod because seriously mine looks awful! Really awful! I also want that adaptor thing for recharging my ipod without opening my laptop and if I want to recharge it here at the office. I also want a high heeled crocs, an imitation from greenhills would be great, because much as I appreciate my “semi-gladiator-plastic-sandals”, I would really really want a high-heeled shoes I can make “sabak!” in the rain, not to mention sometimes I get allergies from that sandals, they are not the disgusting kind of allergy, they just itch and when I scratch them that’s when things get disgustingly ugly not to mention scars that take awhile to fade.

Oh! And I like treating my sisters to food and I feel so bad if I don’t get to treat them when they want to. I feel such a lame sister at those times. But I hope I have impressed upon them that I really want a camera and that their treats would go down to one treat biweekly. And I hope they’d understand.

And I easily succumb to treat teasing (pag may mga nangpapalibre) I feel bad whenever I can’t. Seriously, if I am rich, I’d give in. If I am not saving for anything, I’d give in. Even if I am saving for something, I seriously have to have a one on one talk with myself not to give in.

And oh I also need to buy rechargeable batteries for my waterproof digital camera. Pfft! I think this is urgent but it always slips my mind until I need to use my digi cam! Hmp! I’ll probably buy this Saturday. I hope, since I’ve been missing out on taking random pictures!

And yeah…potatos! I always crave for fries and hashbrown and potato chips! Good lord!

See? Such great challenges. :)) But my time frame for my camera is February 2012, much like a gift for myself for my 22nd birthday, like this year’s instax camera. :D

All that and I completely lost the point of this blog which is “getting used to things”. I really really hope that I’d get used to not eating potatos that much and that I shouldn’t go to the malls so I won’t see things I want to buy or have any other ideas. I hope I’d get used to “treat teases” without feeling so effingly bad about refusing. And I hope I get to record my spending so that they would be real to me, and I would know where my cost cutting efforts should be. And I hope I get use to not giving in to my impulses. And I hope I get use to making artworks without words. :D And I hope that I get use to these ideas and get use to thinking that these are ideas are GOOD ideas. :D
