Dear Blog...

Long time not paid proper attention to you!....uh.

Ok, I must admit, I've been pretty bad at keeping up with the blog lately. I guess I've put it a side a little as I have been obsessing over the look and feel of the website. Over and over again, I've been changing aspects of the webpage's outlook... For what? Well, simply put- chasing satisfaction (that doesn't really exist!).

Actually, one reason why I moved on from being a designer, to a much more businessy/ marketing personalle is due to the fact that I can never be satisfied with any designs (ESPECIALLY my own). The reason for so? Well, it revolves around 7 little words.

I deeply remember this one day, where I was having a one to one feedback tutorial with my fashion design professor. This tutorial was at the very beginning of my time at design school, and I surely was very unfamiliar with everything in terms of what was expected of me, what was generally required and which level of work I should have been producing. During the tutorial, I began talking through my concepts, idea and sketches to my professor. I remember stressing half way through because I could see in her eyes and body language that she wanted to squeeze more out of me. I definitely could feel that she was disappointed with what she hears and saw.

Having had actually been excited about my work before the tutorial, and how I though what I did within that week of work was pretty good- seeing the disappointment on her face deeply saddened me. I was then fairly frustrated...but since I wanted to learn, and despite the fact that I HATE criticism, I eventually bought myself to ask her "How much more would I have had to do?".

She simply replied "How long is a piece of string...?"

Perhaps those words are not so powerful to you, but they sure made a big impact in terms of how I now work, live and function as a person. To this day, those 7 little words still play over and over again in my thoughts whenever I come across any work that involves creativity. I very obviously developed this perspective how nothings EVER good enough. Which isn't healthy at all... but it sure pushes you!

So my explanation for not blogging so often lately, is because I'm STILL not happy with the front page of the website and have been on Photoshop pretty much nonstop (almost not eating lunch!), everyday, even on Friday's no work day (national holiday here). I think I have OCD. Thanks Prof -__- and yes, this is why I've "put aside" (can't really say quit...) fashion design. Bring on Supply Chain Management!
