flabbergasted

uh, more updates please! when you don't talk about something, it is as if you haven't done it. now that i am not talking about what i have been doing (a lot!); new designs, new characters, new scenes... you might think that i am actually sitting in front of my computer doing nothing. ahhh, the work that strips you off of the tiniest bit of time you have!

three's a party

the dynamism of working with a team of a lot of people has always fascinated me. it is like you could go on forever! well, at least for a while. hehe. knowing that somebody is taking care of a piece of the huge task leaves you confident that you can focus on your own piece. not to forget the hilarious dialogues you have along the way:) to the team players all around the world!

how do you like working, on your own or with a group?

new stuff is coming:)

i honestly didn't have my share of sea this year, which is unfair for a swimming enthusiast. i just cannot say farewell to summer without enjoying the aegean. between going to finland (what did you do there, by the way?) and working my ass off, i just couldn't fit in the time to jump into the water. if it weren't for some surprise alterations in our schedule, we wouldn't be able to go now, either. (ok first you were talking as 'i', suddenly you changed to 'we'. who exactly are you and how many people?)

turquoise waters, wait for me! hihi. us. we. i.

give me all the peace and joy in your mind

this is incredible... a personal record! almost two months without posting...shame on me. but i had really good reasons. or really bad reasons, i don't know. hihi. i am ready to get back to the world. the last three months have been the most busy in my life. there were times when i thought that my eye would pop out anytime. or i would merge into the computer screen. but i felt soo alive! all that stress turned into kind of an interesting, humming relief which i can't find any nice words to describe. i hope it lasts!

i came to finland, went back and came again. please don't make me take any more flights in a while. here, some muse for you.

ursa major

i've always found the name 'milky way' strange. when i look at the stars, i hardly see any milk. i don't see a bear when i look at 'great bear' either. maybe this has to do something with the available vocabulary at the time of them being named. to me, the milky way looks more like an icing sugar way. did they have icing sugar back then? hmmm.

anyway, i'm planning to change a lot of things in my life, beginning with the way i present my work. do you think this could work out? i would like this texture to stand out. could they be percieved as stars in space?

how do you present your work? it is a really hard thing to do for me, although i see that some people handle it quite smoothly. please tell me about your way!

chandelier

i have been working, working, working. and then i have been working some more. the most interesting part was doing some interviews in the sishane area. this is a very nice part in the city with lots of old buildings and lamp makers. well, sometimes the surrounding area is not very nice at night. it's a little complicated. anyway, spending time in sishane was really...refreshing for me. even though it meant i couldn't get to go to my hometown over the weekend. it's been forever since i went there.

so when will you be loading those bloody videos? (hihi it's funny using expressions in english) i will, as soon as i figure out how to load them and how to add one more day to the week.

oops

i forgot my flash memory stick at work and today's entry was in it. there's no way i'm going to go all the way there and get it over the weekend, so no real entry until monday. sorry:(

power

i have to say that i am really fed up with all the power problems of working somewhere. i feel like it is a constant arm wrestling. arm wrestling in the brain. you also have to think of the 'matches' in your head beforehand. sick of it.

error on page

agg! my 'add image' buton here at work doesn't function, so you'll have to wait till i get home to see my super-duper images to come:P grr. i was so ready for a fresh entry. just wait a couple of hours...i also need to add some more entries. forgot about the blog completely for a few days.

clock tower on top of apartment

this is from one of our favorite streets, the beloved robson. it is, you know, the shopping street, with all the fancy brands. the visitor's guide told that we would be seeing celebrities down robson, but we haven't seen any. i want my money back! oh wait, the tourist guide was free. darn.

haven't i missed blogging about things i make, rather than places i see? you bet i have! maybe one or two more travel photos. then back to basics. i miss working!

sentimientos

somebody help me!!!!

hehe. actually today i am much more relaxed. i even watched some tv yesterday. but then i remembered why i don't watch tv.

meetings, business calls, emails, work, work, work, preparations. i know i'm going to forget something even from today. because i always do.

i feel like my status as a designer is pending now, which i hope will change soon!

ambiguity

august... no time to blog. i've been working and studying like crazy. i've been seeing nightmares all the time. the problem is this: i'm preparing for a journey far faaar away. is this going to be just a vacation? i don't know. i will try to keep up with the blog and the journey information. sometimes i might not be able to. there is a lot of stress around, and my mind is sooo busy. i'm leaving at the end of the month.

i don't want to be absent all the time. hope to calm down a bit soon!

what about all the design stuff?

grow

i really wonder when a child becomes an adult. i've never quite bought the idea that it happens 'when you make your own living'. does it happen when you hit 20? 30? when you have a child?

well, my job doesn't quite allow me to grow up. i wonder if i purposedly chose such a job to be able to remain a child. so 'making a living' didn't turn me into an adult. and i sure didn't feel grown up when i hit 20, nor when i hit 30. so this age counting thing doesn't help much, either. having a child is not an option right now, so i'll place my bets on that one, i guess.

i will need to make a choice quite soon; the deadline is approaching. i really feel exhausted because of the pressure of that. in the meanwhile, i have to keep working, which is good to feel sane:D but why do i have so much time to linger on the idea? can't we just skip a couple of weeks and get to the point?

hm.. i sense too many personal details. why don't we listen to some massive attack then?

volver

hi there, just a quick post to say i'm back from vacation. swollen legs and a broken heart because it is all over:)). i adore swimming! more and more work coming soon... by the way, none of the past promises are forgotten (blog makeover, design and animation project updates...) give me some time, por favor (as if i have forever;)

ausente

whew. it's been quite a while. this is the longest time i guess without me updating. sorry for that, but these guys are part of the reason why i couldn't. being commercial and bla bla bla, i can't talk about it (sorry about the 'mysterious' stuff i have to put here). i can say i really had fun working these months.

today i actually watched coraline with bonus 3d glasses. apart from being technically superb, fabulous and incredible, i found something about the film really weird. i think the scenario was a bit odd to me. too creepy for a child to watch, and yet too childish for an adult... and 'the other side of the house' theme... haven't we seen that many times before? but i must say, the puppets, their animations, the expressions, the set, the visuals... i am lime green with envy:)

i'm back

hi, just a quickie to tell that i'm back from vacation. it was a really fantastic one, and a good change. of course i have tons of photos and lots of new inspirations:) una por una, ¿no?

hm.. home sweet home. ok, no slacking, gotta get on working!
