I couldn’t help myself

The gloom was creeping in and I was home alone. I can’t stop counting the hours, the days. I couldn’t help it. I had to go elsewhere.

So I did.

hello hello hello 2012

Would you look at that. It’s 2012 already. Time is such a strange thing, isn’t it? Our hours and days seem so long sometimes, but there’s no denying how short each year feels — and it just hits you once December comes.

I still see these things the same way I did last year, and I’d like to say something else this time to avoid redundancy. I guess the only difference is that a few days ago, I spent my New Year’s Eve differently. And what a difference it was from my routine family dinners + karaoke (not that I am ungrateful for those celebrations. It’s one of the things I adore most about my family tbh).

Anyway, bigger photos under the cut with random dribble here and there, though if you’re my friend on Facebook, you’ve most likely seen these already!

Happy hols, everybody!

Merry Christmas, everyone! Have you all had your annual dose of A Charlie Brown Christmas yet?

And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.

And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

Enjoy your hols. Cheers to us all!

A few things:

• My beloved laptop, Atom, gave up on me some time last month. That mostly explains why my blog is très très dead at the moment.
• Besides that, I admit I haven’t been touching my cameras at all. It’s terrible, I know.
• Still haven’t had film developed. Last time I did was around February. Wowowow.
• Basically running low on inspiration…so I’ve not worked on illustrating anything either.

Maaaan. This sounds so sad. Sorry. I’ll get right to work.

christmas is sneaking up on us

I find it so strange that it’ll suddenly be Christmas hols again in a little over a month, considering how I’ve been finding my hours and days go by so slowly recently.

My mum’s little Christmas Town is out and sitting right across our front door again. There’s the tree all readied by the dining area, and there are now random ornaments scattered around the living room to dress it more festive. The fairy lights are still in the process of being put up outside, and I’m planning to nick some for my room (sssssh. Don’t tell my mother).

I love the holiday. I really do. It’s just…it means the year is ending soon, too.
