if you happen to be in ankara...

if you are by any chance visiting ankara and go to metu...:) there is much to be learned! hi to eden:) hope you come to istanbul, too...

almost there

i still have some reservations on the answer i have come up with to my 'how to have your bag design produced' questions, but i feel i am getting to the end. whenever i am at that point of finishing a self-induced project, i tend to procrastinate. well, that is hard to confess. but there you go, i'm confessing it. i hope i don't fall into that trap this time and ever again. it's true, i have tons of other things to do, but i don't want to use that as a shield to protect me against putting that one last effort.

do you remember the video game street fighter? (attention: violent reference ahead.) there is a point at the end of the match where you are prompted to 'finish him!' (your opponent, that is. yeah, really civilized.) i sometimes find myself not being able to 'finish it!!' as soon as i am able to. but i always do finish them, somehow. does that sound familiar to you?

progressive

ok, a little more sneak peek from what my website will be like... (no, the concept is not maya the bee, as one dear friend has claimed before;)) have you watched that animation series, by the way? if you are too young to have watched it, please go kill yourself. no, don't do it. i'm joking. don't ever do anything that any crazy blogger tells you to. most probably they are jealous.

yeah, if i am willing to combine my portfolio with my website, shouldn't i be sounding more... professional anytime soon? what do you think about that? are you keeping business with personal babblings separate? that's a tricky one, because designing is ultra-personal for me. how can i be all cooled-and-professionaled-up about that? i think that's a whoooole separate entry in itself. hmm.

i hope the coding part of my soon-to-be-website-blog will be easy. the visuals are almost done. time to hit the keyboard!!!

congestion

turns out it is not as easy to find producers to have my designs produced as i thought. perseverance is the key... i need to change my persuasion strategies i guess. i really don't know, this is a learning process. i'm sure i will do some stupid things that i'll regret along the way. dusting off and going on will be a better idea in that case. (yeah, i'm trying to convince myself more than you). is there a book on how to do business the right way? hihi... survival kit of the newbie businessperson. agg!

what the??

yeah, seriously what the??? i can't believe i have not been writing for almost a month! but i had good reasons not to. naah, that's a lie. in fact, i had no reasons, let alone good ones, to actually write anything. let's say i took a break from life where i went to and came back from canada, aand... i did some calibrations in the ways i'm thinking about life:D that's right. i was out of everything.

coming back was quite tricky, but eventually i was able to bring myself together. i'm now trying to have my bag produced (in a couple of weeks, hopefully!), working on the website (coming back to that one was reaally hard), doing a lot of reading and conceptualising new projects. if i work full throttle, i will barely make it to my planned deadlines to promote my stuff. just barely. all that calibrating stole a lot of time from me;)

as i get more ageful (let's say), i find it harder and harder to lose any time with indecision. ten years before, i had that luxury. but not anymore. and man, was i one indecisive person! these days, time is precious for me. so i need to speed it all up!! there is never enough of it. do you have time for everything you want?
