The Atelophobic

Today my friend made a passing comment that I was a perfectionist.

Sounds good, doesn't it? I mean, after all, if you read the key word amongst that jumble of letters, it means I'm flawless! But somehow I sensed a tinge of distaste in how she said it, and immediately clarified what she meant, as eager as a 4-year-old.

My kind and reliable friend then explained to me, that she loved that I always put my best into whatever I did, giving my 110%. But there comes a point when that 110% is more than I am made up of, and along the way, draws so much energy out of me, that I become dispirited.

I pondered...


... and pondered...


... and pondered...


and finally agreed with her.

As they always say, whichever mountain you scale, there's bound to be one that's higher. In life, it's all about giving our best. However, there's really no point pushing ourselves too hard that we lose sight of what we've gained along the way.

Tomorrow is a new day, and a new 100%.

It's a Dot Com, Baby!

It’s been a long while of absence. No I have not been abducted by hot-looking aliens (is there even such a thing? I mean the hot-looking part, not the latter…), neither have I struck 4D and whisked myself off to some obscure but beautiful island.

I’ve mentioned previously that my friend, May and I have been working on a teensy project, so we’ve both been spending the last month working hard, tying up (lots and lots of) loose ends. We’re still trying to sort out certain issues, but all in all, we’re ready to rumble.

We soft launched our little baby on 6 June 2011.

The response has been encouraging, but we know we definitely need to put in way more effort than now, flooring our clutches all the way. There’s no time for free gear, if you asked me, but we’re all ready for it. Passion takes you to places that you never think you’d go.

Wish me luck! ♥
