Passion for something

When I was a kid, I really love to draw. I remember one time in my elementary years that I used up all my paper with my drawings leaving me to beg for my classmates to give me one when a pop quiz came up. I could say that I really love to draw, although, I never was really good at it. When I was in Grade 3, I had a classmate whom I share this passion with. He was really good in drawing. I Idolized this classmate of mine for such talent. Whenever he draws something, I tend to copy what he draws. I'm not that imaginative when it comes to sketching something... I just love to draw someone else's drawing! Call it "Copycat", I don't care, I just enjoyed doing it. hehehe.

I'm all grown up now and priorities in life changes as well. For several years, I never held a pencil and draw something. It seems I've outgrown my childhood passion. Thinking of it, I took a time off and drew something... of course, I'm still copying but this time, I copied from a picture. This is a sketch of me and my girlfriend.

This time, I still believe I'm not that good. hahaha! I proved it when I was a kid and I still proved it now! But I know, I don't have to be really good at it, i just need to be passionate about it and being good at it will just follow. Well, I just don't have the luxury of time at this moment to practice what I love, I guess this will just do for now. hehehe. :0)

Little to lose, a lot to gain

One month and a few days to go before our BIG day. Me and my fiancee are very busy preparing for our wedding... places to go, people to meet, things to buy, seminars to attend, fees to pay, I could go on and on with the list of activities that are lined up... whew! So many things to do! A few days had past that I couldn't help but notice some changes. In the morning when I wake up, I see falling hair on my pillow. Every time I took a bath, I see falling hair under me. Even as I'm writing this blog, I could see one strand of falling hair on my keyboard (Yeah! For real!). Am I going bald soon? or is this just a result of stress? Uh-Oh! I don't like this a bit.

Tracing my gene pool, my grandpa lost most of his hair in his 30's. My father is also starting to show signs of balding but not that obvious.. he is now in his 50's. I am now on my late 20's and all I could think of is my hair. Today, I thought of it a thousand times. What would I look like if I was bald? Would I look like Bruce Willis, Andre Agassi, Jason Statham or Vin Diesel? I'd be OK if so... hehehe.

Eventually, I know I'll lose my hair as I grow older but I won't lose hope that Head and Shoulders would repair the damage. ehehehe! Pondering on this, I'd rather lose my hair than lose my mind. There's a lot for me to gain in all the things that I did these past few days. Yeah, I'll lose a few more strands of my hair each day in the process as the stress continues but I know it's worth it... I'm about to gain the most beautiful thing that I could ever ask from God... my wife to be!
