Thought of the day

Since this is supposed to be a diary, I want it to be as authentic as possible. I may not include every detail of my everyday life but you can count it to be real. May this be served as a reminder of my struggle when I am successful(Maybe, I do not know the future yet).

P/S: You may notice that today is a very unproductive day for me. Yes, you are right. It is a quirk that comes from being a freelancer.

A new thing that I learned

I learned to cook pizza. It has nothing to do with design but it is an achievement nonetheless.

It is edible but it is far from being tasty. Not bad for a first-timer I would say. I mistake tomato puree for tomato sauce making it very sour.

Note to self

I have been freelancing for 4 years now. But I am still struggling with everyday tasks. The worst part is, I might fail on this journey. But I will keep pushing on because it is something worth fighting for.
