21

So, it’s my birthday today. Tralala~ I’m 21. Yay?

Some people say you’re supposed to have some sort of a life plan at this age, which is true. I don’t want to wake up one day thinking about where I wasted my years. Though I don’t have a solid plan - yet, I do have a vague idea of what I want to do in my life. Let me share you my little list.

(in no particular order)

1. Try my hand at making clothes, a.k.a. become some sort of a fashion designer. -  I’ve always wanted to do this. Now I have the capacity to supply myself with the things I need (i.e. sewing materials), I’m starting to self-study dress making. I’ve been reading a lot of tutorials online, I got random tutorials from dressmakers (I love watching them make my costumes), and I made little detailed  trinkets, head accessories in particular. I’m planning to get myself a sewing machine by next year to start making bigger pieces. Hopefully, I can turn this hobby into a full-time job.

2. Publish a short manga (comic book). - I’ve been drawing for years, andI think its about time that I try to get myself out there. Not that I want to be some big shot in the manga industry. I just want to see what people (other than my friends) think about my drawing skills. I’m planning to join next year’s Komikon.

3. Save-up for a house. - My boyfriend and I are planning to get a house before we get married (yiiii~). That’s a major thing, but I guess we can do it in a few years. No need to rush.

4. Get my Mom (and my Grandma) a new business. - Years ago, we had this little school supplies store. It was a successful store. We had a lot of customers since our house was strategically placed on the street where most students pass by. Unfortunately, we had to close it down since my Mom started working full time and no one can maintain the store. Now that my Grandma stays at home all the time, I’m planning to get them a little business to keep themselves preoccupied (extra income for them, yay!).

5. Help my brother graduate from college. - I promised my Mom that I’ll help her get my brother through college. Good thing he enrolled himself in a state university, so we wont have problems with his tuition fees. Miscellaneous fee,  plus other school requirements is another problem.

That’s it for now. Maybe I’ll continue doing this list tomorrow. Toodles!
