When there's nowhere else to turn
All your bridges have been burned
Feels like you've hit rock bottom
Don't give up it's not the end
Open up your heart again
When you feel like no one 
Understands where you are

[chorus]
Someone loves you even when you don't think so don't you know you got
Me and Jesus by your side through the fight you will never be alone on your own you got me and Jesus

After all that we've been through
Be now you know I've doubted too
But everytime my head was in my
Hands you said to me 
Hold on to what we got
This is worth any cost so 
Make the most of life
That's borrowed 
Love like there's no tomorrow

grrrrr... i couldn't get in my other youtube account.

1. i forgot my password

2. i forgot which email i used for it

3. i probably forgot the password to that email too.

 

sigh, i can't concentrate. and i've done at least 3 million failed attempts trying to log in. youtube must think i'm hacking it or something. clearly, youtube's system is so flawed. why don't they have the secret question as an alternative way to id people? for something so big, youtube's failed me.

it bugs me so much because all my other stuff are named "edelyne" - not edelyne777 or edelyne23289 or whatever. just plain "edelyne" - and i happen to like it that way. i'm planning on making it standard for all my accounts, and it's such a bother to go through all that and have my youtube account different. pft, i want that username!!!

i was at the Design Thinkers 2008 conference today at MTCC.

highlights:

• maira kalman signed my recently purchased Uncertainty book
• we got maira kalman to say a plug for Magik Coffee (woot!)
  
• rick poynor was funny
• but maira was funnier, i think
• only thing missing in the mix was erik spiekermann

i'll most probably do a design thinkers blog sometime soon.

 

 

and...on other news. i just realized the most exciting news. i am gonna be working with Paul Sych! Paul Sych!!! weee, yea i don't really know him either but i've heard so much about him so i'm somewhat excited. apparently, when it comes to editorial design here in canada, he's the man. lol. and i'm gonna be working alongside him. isn't that awesome? lol i really hope i'm up to par. but i get the feeling that i won't be. but we'll see. lol. 

thank God for the miracle that is last night. or the whole yesterday. wow, i finished my project! and although it's not really the best project i've ever done, i'm really really really really extremely happy that i'm done. and that i made it in on time for the submission. even though i came 1.5 hr late for class. lol. whatever. i've done it, and i'm letting it go. now im moving on to the next project.

im quite happy to announce that i will be having my first non-slumber party at York today. hahah i dont know if that's a good thing. but whatever, we have a group project due tomorrow and not surprisingly, we have accomplished 0%. and tonight we're ready to pull yet another magic trick up our sleeves. (it's the coffee i tell you.)

anyway, so much to do in so little time for such a little person like me. i miss my summer days. actually not really. summer sucked. i'm all in for winter. wooohoo, flurries today. december is one of the few things im not too scared to look forward to. so yay.

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind... Romans 12:2

hi everybody,

i just want to give you a quick update on things. first, thank you all for the crits. they do really mean a lot, and i find it really sweet to log in here and see physical proof that (a) people read this blog and (b) that there are people i can rely on here whenever i need help. so, my sincere thanks to all. 

second, i have a crazy weekend ahead of me. let's just leave it as that. i'll save all the complaints later. haha

 

i'm currently listening to Switchfoot's Let That Be Enough. i always listen to this song but i never really realized the beauty of it til' now. sigh, bless all the songwriters. anyway, that's the song for tonight.

(Lyrics)

we're supposed to design a poster for a festival. my festival in essence is a combination of fire, water, and music. so, um what do you think?

 

does it say fire/water? should i lose/keep the glow on Illumin? choice of typefaces? color? which do you like better?

 

more to come! i kinda just started today. thanks

i want to thank God for giving me the best people in my life. (...LOL panakaw ha.) People who are always there for me during rough times, and people who put up with me all the time. I really don't deserve it and yet, you guys gave me the best gift I could ask for.

those are some very nice words of my bestfriend after his surprise 21st birthday. well-said. very sincerely-expressed. naks.

 

btw, thanks for the birthday wishes! :D

i know it's wrong for me to squeeze in blogging right now. im so behind schedule for tomorrow. maybe i could move everything down and do them all tomorrow instead? hahah. if i have to pull an all nighter on my birthday...that would suck. so i'd just take responsibility for not having anything ready. it's kinda my fault. i'm a slacker.

i can't believe im turning 20.

birthdays are supposed to be the best days, right? i'll try my very best to not let anything ruin it. not even if my much-craved-for champorado spilled all over our dishwasher. (i was so hungry too. i never even got to taste at least a spoonful of it. and worse, i had to clean it all up. i don't even go near our dishwasher. see, that's why i stay out of the kitchen.)

i should really change my attitude eh? i'll make that my birthday resolution.

1. be nice to people. 
2. try to be more patient and understanding. 
3. don't focus on the negatives and look at the brighter side of things.
4. control self. 
5. love more.
   
6. get stronger. pray more.
   
7. learn to move on. 
8. be happy. 

so there you go. 8 things. 8 things and 36 minutes left of being a teenager.
