In the blogging business

So this is what it's like to basically be a blogger !!

Hm... I've been working on the site from past 5 hours editing, composing, changing the theme, choosing colours and fonts, adding tags, categorising posts, scrolling themes, and throwing a quick eye on the settings section.

Damn, this thing is haaaard! I have this book, called "a Thousand Paths to patience" by Michael Powel, which has a symbol of Yin and Yang on the cover. This reminds me of the Yin and Yang collection I had made for the graduation show as a student in WLC in Mumbai in 2009, and just being there was an awesome time of my life!!, anyway,back to our hatchings; in this book, at a random page, number 255 it is written "The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it" - Arnold H Glasow.  Oh wow, it matches the tone of my post. Alright, I'm pleased now.And here is the link to purchase it from Amazon, if you fancy a time pass inspirational, pocket size book.

 Hatching the blog is time-consuming for sure and not that rewarding at the moment. It takes time to build a blog. A good blog. It takes time to learn the techniques, the tools and developing the eye for it. This post is meant to be sort of a short exercise to round up because it is nearly midnight and I'd rather catch some sleep at the moment instead of type mindlessly on this ancient keyboard. However, I must thank the #EveryDayInspiration for pushing me to work on this blog every day and to keep a constant pace. It is slow and tiring but not entirely useless.Work is never useless.

I write because..

It's Tuesday as if this would be a reason strong enough to write on a social media, without even having anything in it related to the particular day of the week. I write because I wanna feel my hand moving on the keyboard, yes I do type with one hand only. I particularly use the index finger and the opposable thumb to click the space button.

I write because I intend it to be sort of a "Day One", for the rest of the blog, even if it is rather far from being a "day one"post. I write because I want my mind to free will itself on the keyboard. I am trying to not edit, not have any blank moments, just write away, naked, raw post, personal and sincere. To whatever extent. I might exclude stuff which randomly pops up in my mind such as... and such as.. well yes, excluded, as it is not that appropriate to just share it aaaall with you guys, I do write too because it is 03:19 am, and I cannot sleep, with all the relaxing teas I had yesterday, that filled my being from physical to psychical in soo many ways . In fact, the tea cup is already full again, it has been filled a while ago with a various selection of plants, all meant to relax my mind and distress, and basically to be able to sleeeep for at least 6 hours tonight. Maybe my internal time set is restless, and I wouldn't blame it at all.

It is a bit difficult, yeah, to write without touching the delete button, or the backspace, especially when your aim is to just keep your hands moving on the keyboard for about 20, twentyyy minutes, without interruption and write whatever crap comes in mind. That too by being composed and do not divagate toooo much, if such a thing could be possible.

I believe I've been writing on this piece for about 9 minutes now and I realise how basically void of content it is, too raw, too fugitive and way too vague to capture someone's interest, I might not even go back to it myself, so yeah, none taken. LOL. Internally.

I could tell you about my cat who just came from a stroll in the neighbourhood, and made a lot of drama when I courteously invited him over at the running water of the bathtub's tap for a thorough paw washing with love and care.He did not enjoy it, although he used to, but yeah, the neighbours threw some cold water at him several times to keep him away from their cat ladies, and he stopped enjoying baths. It's 3:31 a.m.

Few more minutes, bare with me, for the sake of time pass and insomnia.Yes, I do confess, I did hit the backspace button several times while writing this post. And yes, I did have a few blank moments to involuntarily, more or less, check my spelling, most of it because my keyboard has been so much overused that the print has started fading and I do confuse some keys with others, therefore the mistake is basically imminent.

3:35 a,m. now, my slippers feel sticky, I had just washed my feet, well, word of advice, let it be at least that much relevant for the cause and do take my advice to never wear your slippers right after washing them without wiping them thoroughly.

03:37.I'm done.

Why are you blogging?

This question could sound in many ways:

"WHY are you blogging?" to which I will answer below;

"Why  ARE you blogging?", even though I am not very constant and neither perseverent much, I am blogging mainly because I am enjoying it, obviously.

Then there could be the question "Why are YOU blogging?", and that is rude and if I give it much attention it will ruin my mood for the entire day so therefore I will just ignore it.

 And then there could be the question of "Why are you BLOGGING?", to which, well, the answer is rather obvious since we are in the year 2017 and basically communication has taken a preeeety wide piece of cake from all sorts of media.

 However, the most relevant answer would be WHY NOT. Frankly. To all of them.

 Well, even though I might be trying to be as specific as possible, chances are that I will answer to this question in a very general manner, comprising generalities and generally by being general. Intentionally. Today. However, back to square one, I should be blogging for academic reasons. I should be blogging for fun, for keeping track of my work as a designer and an artist, and most of all I should be blogging to improve myself in many ways.

The way I express in English should be one of the main improvements. This is one of the reasons for which the blog is in English. I might write in Romanian or Hindi, or French, or Khmer, however, it is highly doubtful; first of all, I am bilingual in Romanian and English, while my vocabulary for all the others is quite random and raw. My accent hilarious and my grammar rather shady. So, better not.

Another big reason for which I blog is because I want to practice my blogging skills and learn new techy stuff, as I am not that good at any of these so yeah, practice makes it perfect, InshaAllah.

I also blog to reach out to people with similar interests, whichever interests I might have at a specific point in time. At the moment my list of interests includes the followings, let me do here a bullet list in HTML:

• English language
• translations
• sorting out the content from (C:) drive, (D:) drive, (E:) drive and some of the additional external hard drives, which I am pretty sure are just filled with irrelevant stuff like pictures of butterflies, flowers and emo memes that I have been keeping since like the past 15 years
• sorting out the spring/summer wardrobe
• finding a job

And much more, but that would make the list way too long and I do not have sufficient time for all that at the moment. I got stuff to do today.

Meanwhile, Happy women's day!!!!

Say no to filters. Today :D  !!

HUNTING FOR A JOB

Darn it!

 I always have a hard time find the proof that I actually diiiiiid a damn hard work and that too a whole lot of it. Once the collection is all done wrapped and away I forget, FORGET to keep track of the pictures I took and they get lost like everywhere! Well, do excuse my ranting on the blog for basically childish stuff, but oh well, let me be childish all the way and roll on the floor crying out loud I WANT MY PICTURES BACK !!

Thank God I had the inspiration to post on my Facebook Page some lame pictures of the bags that I had made few years back.. Since my Windows crashed and my Passport hard drive got stuck and doesn't open, I can literally say that I am flipping UPSET! I lost about 20gb of data! Thank God for Facebook and it's download button.. gosh.. I feel like back to 1st standard. In my freshman year on Uni I had better stuff to present to my employers. This sucks a whole lot!

This.Is.Not.Acceptable. 

What to do..non-edited pictures downloaded from Facebook memories are all I have.. sigh,... it literally makes me cry. I bloody have an Interview on Monday!! Ugh.. it's gotto work.

 Here are the bag. Made with love and care for some members of the Facebook group "The Hijabi Girl".
