How's your goals

Earlier this year, I'm so hyped up for what 2021 has to offer, at least for me. I planned out the little things that I need to achieve and somehow planned even up to the daily stuff.

That's from drinking hot water from waking up, reading a chapter a book, meditating, doing exercise, and things like that. 

And, I'll be honest. There were times that I missed my schedule and skip a day. Particularly the exercise thing. As you know, it's already the 21st today and usually, this is the time where people gave up on their "resolutions" and go back to their old ways. 

Today was a breeze, maybe it contributes to this under the weather feeling, and thinking about it, there's really a ton of hindrances in achieving my goals. Our really messy home, laundry schedule. Messed up stuff. 

I know for sure that a sprinkle of laziness also supplies to this sentiment. I don't want to give up but it seems like nothing's working, it stresses me out. I feel like a failure. I can just keep doing this and maybe shake things up a little. 

I'm not sure. Well, today is another day. I might just shake it off and start again tomorrow. This is no time to surrender.

Pivoting

I watched a vlog of a massive YouTuber the other day, he doesn't have much viewership as of this day but his words are pretty inspiring to me. 

He said that he's trying to explore other opportunities other than YouTube. He's looking for a similar field. But what struck me the most when he said that he's not giving up on video or content creation. He's just pivoting.

Pivoting, what an interesting word that he linked to giving up. He believes that trying a different platform is not giving up, it's pivoting. 

You take your experience, your learnings from your previous platform and bring it to your new field, which gives you somewhat of an advantage or makes you unique in the area. 

Why is this relevant to me, you ask?

Well, around 12 years ago, I was introduced to Photoshop. Me and my classmate tried to work on our improvement by manipulating photos. This is way before those filters and auto-editing apps.

So, below are my try-hard attempt at the graphic design from the early days:

This is for a competition for Drama Club in our college. 

A campaign profile picture for a presidential candidate.

Campaign for my favorite team.

One of my favorite photos in the early days

Amazing shot by my friend and I added some texture and colors

This is the time where I started experimenting with photoshop. This is when I fell in love with blending layers

The Halloween specials

Somehow, I got a lost interest in manipulation, so I just working on some black and white styles

Album cover art or something?

Yes, I also do some projects for my friends and love ones.

Including this compilation of photos from our youth group.

I think this is for my blogger page. 

Due to photo improvements hype. I also got in somehow. 

I still love editing photos, but I have found some new hobby or passion. This is from my @versenchorus Instagram: 

While this is from my @myartdump.psd page. 

This is my pivot story. From photo manipulation to enhancement to creating some basic fan artwork and lyric designs.
