I am a self-confessed workaholic. I'm the type of person who isn't comfortable waking up past 7 and sleeping before 12. I also have a very anxious personality so I like knowing when things are going to happen and what's going to happen and things like that--which is why it is such a huge risk for me to have this blog up (risk to my sanity, I mean). Fashion/Blogging for a living is a slow but steady kind of thing. It's not the type of industry where you'll see the results of the things you do ASAP and that can make you feel like you want to quit but (let me take something from the Hufflepuff in me) hard work, given that it's also smart work (hello again Ravenclaw) almost inevitably reaps reward. In the past 24 hours, I've gotten a couple of offers that I can't talk about yet but which I'm so grateful to have gotten. These opportunities are so exciting that I almost can't believe they are being offered to me (not that I'm complaining). My last night at the Acacia (Friday night) was a sleepless one; I was so giddy I couldn't get to bed. Now I'm here, in my mom's home office, typing this up and I just feel so grateful and so pumped. Thank you to everyone who reads this blog!!! THANK YOU!
I'm also always happy when good things happen to the people I love and yesterday Trizha was part of the Top 3 Most Sold at the Indieket Comicon! :D So happy for her!
Congratulations, Trizh!
I also want to congratulate all of you out there who are doing what you do and loving it or hating it with a passion but doing it anyway. Thank you for sticking around and I hope that your lives are beautiful and that you find fulfillment in whatever it is you decide to do with your life--whether it's operating on someone's heart or mopping the bathrooms at the mall.
Here are a couple of old photos dedicated to gratitude and opportunity:
Trizha Ko, this is for you! Happy two year friendshipversary!
Also, hello Mon Maulion who is in the photo with us! :) Happy two year friendshipversary to us as well!
Also HAPPY BIRTHDAY (belated) to Carlos Valdes--my aborted twin brother from a past life who's been giving me the "you're such a weirdo" look in the photo below for 2 years and who's been a bigger weirdo than me since the day he was born BLEEEEP years ago; I won't reveal your deep dark secret.
Oh and HAPPY MEETVERSARY to Keavin Mutuc, my love! It was a year ago that we met on aforementioned aborted past-life twin's birthday! <33 Who woulda known that a year later you'd be at my birthday, trying to bite off my side fat?
And finally, and perhaps most especially, here is a HUGE (platonic, of course ;)) kiss and photo of
my happy (just got up) face on this Sunday morning for everyone who reads this blog--you have made all these opportunities possible for me. Keep creative and keep tuned in to WinaWonders, THANK YOU again!
