I haven’t blogged much since the beginning of New Year, although I had so much to say, I just couldn’t find the time.

I’ve told a friend before, that I have realized I am a monogamist when it comes to relationships - in love, friends and family relationships, but when it comes to work, hobbies and other aspects of life, 1 thing is constant - and that is change. I am committed with my work, but once I get tired of it, I will move on to the next exciting adventure. And that is the main reason why I chose a DESIGN career - all projects may seem the same, but each one is always different - ever changing and ever growing.

And so for this year, I had prepared myself for a drastic SHIFT. 2 years ago, I worked as a Wedding Planner on the side and I designed and created Formal attires as well. A year ago, i concentrated on designing, and as a hobby pursued private lessons for classical music. For this year..

I went back to school. =P

Both as a student and as an instructor.

I had to pursue and become a pro in pattern making. Cecilio has always advised me to personally handle all patterns for my designs. It was late last year that I finally decided to be HANDS ON with it after having to deal with a lot of trouble with my staff’s attendance at work. So I’m taking serious lessons in pattern making which I enjoy going to once every week.

And since I’ve always wanted to teach, I happily applied for a teaching job at my school.. of course, the subject is still in fashion design, and though it’s fun, I just didn’t think it would take that much time to prepare for a 3-hour lesson every week. I’m still adapting, and I do hope I get to teach again next term. =P

And of course, aside from these new additions, I’m getting more exciting wedding and non-wedding projects everyday!

And since my weekends are equally busy as my weekdays, I did notice that I am neglecting to take care of myself - in terms of looks.. hehe.. so if ever you find me wearing my lazy outfits (jeans with shirts, or whatever strange clothes I might be wearing), bad hair day, no-make-up face and slightly over-sized tummy, I would just like to remind you, that I am still a decent person and a reliable supplier to work with. It’s just that I am so focused and I so love my work that I often spend more time with it than with myself. =)
