being chased

because of talking about assassins last night, i had a dream...
my family was some sort of guardians for these 2 items that's been secretly passed down through the generations, and some badass organization wanted them.
somehow they got tipped off that we have it, so they came to take it from us.
my family was either killed or kidnapped to ransom an exchange.
i was carrying both item and at the first confrontation i tried to use this 掌法 but failed because i haven't fully learned it, so i had to escape.
i was later caught, held hostage, and was on route to New York by train. during the commute, i somehow got myself into a washroom stall, ready to burn the items to oblivious. the train was stopped by the people who took me and i had to reluctantly keep the items.
through the confusion, i was able to escape into the New York subway system and somehow managed to get away from my capturers after some grand detours. there was also this woman who helped me, so i spent the night at her place.
i kept devising plans to somehow get back to Toronto, but of course, i have no money and time to get there.
the next day, i realized we were being followed and i had to leave her so she'll be safe.
meanwhile, on the subway system again, i met Amy and Curtis. Amy seemed to want to capture me, and Curtis was helping me divert her and gave me a chance to get away.
i got myself to Chinatown, and just before i walked out an exit, i had no choice but to walk in front of 4-5 security cameras, expecting that i'd be seen by the organization.
at that point i woke up.

too much tv and movies

Last night I had a nightmare.
First part I think I was some kind of out of the world being with other people overlooking the world.
While I was doing some stuff with those people, I heard noises that only I can hear.
It was the cries of humans, because aliens arrived from the skies and started vacuuming them into pods.
Yes, much like War of the Worlds. Except the aliens also used a soft blue light to hypnotize and attract people.
Suddenly, I was just a normal human being in that world in one of the buildings I was staring at.
It was a messy environment, and I seem to be the only person unaffected by the blue light.
I tried to hide away from the vacuuming, but there were also people with machine guns to recapture escapees.
I felt one of those gunners kept shooting around me so I had to reveal myself and be captured into an elevator.
Then I saw Piggie was also captured into the elevator, along with another stranger and an elevator operator.
We 3 capturees were quite scared of a certain death, I started reciting 觀音經 but forgot after a few phrases, so I asked Piggie to help me recite.
The elevator was obviously being sucked up rather than moved from electricity because it felt like we were in the air without any strong gravitational lift from the elevator floor.
I remember Piggie saying, "I didn't expect them to arrive so early, I thought we would have at least a few more months, but now..."
Then the elevator stopped midway and the door opened to let the gunman exit.
Somehow the 3 of us were transported into a sedan car, and the elevator operator was driving the car.
He intentionally went another route and after a distance, he let us take over the car after stopping at an autoshop. He bid us blessings and we went into a silent city. I could still see burnt bodies hanging onto the edge of windows in low rise buildings.
At that point, I woke up feeling screwed.

the longest night

6th day, up till this hour doing very OCD things...

sigh... if only.

etsy project

looking at my last entry, i just realized i've been sick for the entire 2 weeks.
now i'm finally starting to work on the product photos.
so much to learn about lighting.
i'll have to make a diffuser for my flash, then build a light box out of cardboard boxes and white paper, go buy a nice long roll of white cloth or paper, and get some ultra strong white bulbs for my lamps.
so much diy...
but then my dad will also benefit from it since i'll have to redo all his products too.
so a light box is not wasted!

places to get supplies: Fabricland, Ambient, Michaels, Walmart.

grey hair popping out because of other people's stupidity

gosh, i can't deal with this most stupid man who calls himself a DJ and entertainment consultant.
can't even get the hours straight and thinks we should charge $100 per hour.
the funniest thing is, he can't even remember the client's wedding date and had to ask me if i remember it.
what the fuck?
of course i don't remember it. i didn't even write it down since i thought it was just a demo run for a liason company.
isn't there something called a contract? is he retarded?
i don't mind to not work with him at all.

things i gotta do on monday:
1. deposit cheque
2. take product photos
3. open etsy seller account
4. sleep

new line of work

it feels great to have people praising my products, which is why i'm very into jewelry making nowadays.
i feel more appreciated as a designer than a musician.
we were talking on the car sunday on the way to hamilton about how abstract music making is.
u can't touch it, u can't see it, and it's the performer who gets the high more than the listener.
with jewelry, it's the total opposite.
maybe that's why i'm attracted to it. i need some sort of a balance.
well, aside from my obsessive personality to figure out how things work mechanically and recreate it from scratch.

so i better get off my butt and start that seller account on etsy!
