You’re the designer

I get the “eek” feeling whenever people tell me “you’re the designer”, “you’re the expert”, “you know this, right?” I guess because I am so used to people telling me what to do. I’ve always known that I am a follower, and a good one at that, probably because I am not used to telling people what to do or being in control of some aspects in which other people are also involved.

I don’t want to fail, that is something that I’ve always tried to avoid, at all costs. In everything I do, I have only one prayer and that is for me not to fail in it in any way. Good thing is that I have been so lucky… Yes, God loves me of course :D

I am quite unsure with myself, and people who know me really, really well knows that. It’s not that I know I can’t do anything right, I guess it’s because I’m afraid I might do things the wrong way. But I know that sooner or later I have to take into consideration that I wouldn’t be anywhere if I wouldn’t make even one mistake in my lifetime.

*sigh* Being a perfectionist sucks.

Note to self: There’s a reason why your stomach aches during 12 in the afternoon and 7 in the evening, and that’s because you’ve GOT to eat SOMETHING! What are the fruits of your labors for if you’re in the corner of the house crying because of ulcer huh?! And no, watching Tsubasa Chronicles won’t help! I hate being a workaholic. I need a life! Give me one!

Just think it over first before making a descision. You know mae i admire you’re being a follower attitude..hehehe pasaway kc ko e. I guess your parents are so proud of you. bait anak nila e.

    I like the note to self too!!:D

    Being scared of failure is normal, we’re all scared that we might do something wrong that will cause too much of a problem. Face the consequences of it. Being a perfectionist will not make your life perfect. There’ll be no trill in your life if you didn’t encounter problems or if you haven’t done anything wrong. God gave us life but we’re the one whose creating it for us. You’re the only who can GIVE life to yourself. Live your life to the fullest. Appreciate everything that is given to you(i know you do).

    Take care of yourself and we miss you. Love you bunso. :)

    Ahaha! Sometimes Tsubasa does help. I can’t find words to describe Syaoran or his relationship with Sakura! Darnit I just want to find out how it ends!

    Anyway. Congrats on your win! You have such a lovely blog here. I’m a fan of people who aren’t afraid of color.
