An art project to work on

I have spent roughly three hours trying to search for the right materials and making sample outputs for a personal calendar. I hope I can work on this again next weekend.

Things to start with: cartolina, transparency sheets, an old calendar, ruler, and markers

Thinking that life doesn't get younger, I think I have to start my plans for a happier and healthier life, starting off with my personal finances, and my personal flaws.

Through this, I plan to track the things that I do (and shouldn't do) on a daily basis - things like expenses for the day, beers drunk after work, sleep, and other areas of concern. Hopefully, I can finish the calendar as soon as possible.

Sample counter. I'll print better numbers next time.

These will be the type of counters I will be using on my issues with you-know-what. It was this idea from my other post. Hope this will work. And I was doing this all night, so I think this can be a good sign.

Pornography - Day Never

I realized that this was a lot harder for me. I just can't use a handful of discipline at the moment. But I'm brewing something that might just make this work.

Fitness - Nine Laps

Earlier in the afternoon, it was raining hard. So hard, that it was very apt to get back to bed and have a few hours of extra sleep.

Instead, I ran to the nearest park and jogged nine laps, all under the rain. It was kinda refreshing, since I used to run the same length a few months back. I think I'm going to do this again next week.

I ran for the first three laps barefoot, because I used a worn-out pair of shoes, and I feared of slipping. For the remaining six, the shoes got heavier. Haha

Pornography - Day 2

It gets kinda embarassing to include a Day 0 post every now and then. *giggles*

Sleep - Four Hours

I slept at 7 last night. And I have been awake since 2am. Work starts at 8, but since I live very far from work, I get up everyday at 5 in the morning to prepare.

Should I go to work now? Nah, too early.

One Missing Thing

There are a lot of things to count. Including the things that you do not have.

For now, I need (or really need) a camera.

Work - 21 Hours

And I still had to work the day after. This is a rare occurrence (last time happened around April I think), and I hope the next would be months away from now.

Where I work for: Azeus Systems Philippines Ltd. (official page)

Pornography - Day 0

Again. This is hard.

Movie - Forrest Gump

Forrest Gump
1994
Drama, Romance
142 mins
PG-13
Forrest Gump, by Tom Hanks

A movie on hope, family, and human need.

On a subjective note, the film put me to thinking about how I would be like in the future. Would I have a good family? Would I even have someone to spend time growing old?

Spoiler alert (highlight space to read): I am deeply touched when Forrest immediately asked how his son was doing, if he was fine mentally, or if he was like Forrest himself. I cried during that scene, and just made me say that Jenny is a very lucky woman to have Forrest.

It was a bit ridiculous that Forrest is an extremely lucky and talented guy. But other than that, everything seemed so real. Something that a normal person would have wished to happen to his/her life.

Movie - The Vow

Paige, by Rachel McAdams
Leo, by Channing Tatum

I watched this because I saw its trailer when I went to Padis Point Shaw for a few bottles of beer after work. Don't even ask why the bar shows trailers like these, I also don't know. Haha

It's a movie that's light on drama, dashed with bits of musings in human thinking (how reflective); the typical just-watch-me-without-thinking-why type of movie, just what I want to watch when I'm exhausted from work. Some questions are left to ask, but overall, it's good.

It's said to be based on a true story, and Channing Tatum's behind is also real, I think.

Pornography - Day 0

Yes, I'am also trying to quit viewing malicious content on the internet. It pays you know. I'll start today at Day 0.

I was inspired after reading this article. Although, I think I could use a better word for inspired, thinking that I stopped doing this for the sake of better sexual experience, which I think, is impossible at the moment. Haha

Post 0

I wanted to count the things that matter. And in this crazy world, everything matters, just on different levels of matter-ness.

I think it's never too late to start from the beginning. After all, the point on the number line that's easiest to go back to.
