to the Angels Next In Line

Dear Angel,

I wanna share with you some things I learned from wheezywaiter and zeFrank... Thought it could help in getting you started with the project you're gonna develop for the whole of next year... so here goes...

*tight hug*

Even if you don't wanna start, you will..

This is an invocation for anyone who has not yet begun... who's stuck in that terrible place between zero and one.

Realize that your past failures that had followed through are no indication of your future performances, they are just healthy little fires that are there to warm you up.

If your 'Let's get it On' attitude is strong, remember to keep it in a velvet box until you really really need it. If your 'Let's get it On' attitude is weak, fortify it by feeding it oranges of humility and self-trust. Do not strengthen it by letting it gorge itself in ego and arrogance.

When coding... remember to not hit up your facebook like it's a crackpipe... keep the browser closed... ^^


If you catch yourself wearing a tutu... tu fat, tu slow, tu lazy... shake it off like a horse would shake off something it doesn't like., *horse-head-shake - - - bbbwrrrrbrbrbrr*.,.

Think about the people who you care about the most.... and how when they fail... or disappoint you.. You still love them, you still give them chances..... and you still see the best in them.. extend that generosity to yourself.,

Remember that you are perfectly brave, worthwhile and capable of getting the job done... If you must seek help... seek help.., but do not overdo it.,. Overdoing it would be like having your bestfriend chew your food for you.,. it might be easier to swallow but all the flavor will be gone.,..... and it'll be covered in spit., LOL (sorry., I just had to do that.,XD)., what you want (and need) is to taste the flavor.

Allow yourself to find and use metaphors to help you understand the world... Allow yourself also to discover in time the strength to dispose of those metaphors come the time when it's apparent they no longer work..

Thank the parts of yourself that you do not understand and are outside of your rational control like your creativity and courage... and remember that your courage is a wild dog, it won't just come when you call it.. You have to chase it down and hold on as tight as you can...

Remember to not be so vain as to think that you are the sole author of your victories and the one true victim of your defeats.,

Remember that the unintended meaning that people project onto what you do are neither your fault or something that you can take credit for.,.

Note that Perfectionism may look good in his shiny shoes but he's a little bit of an a**hole and no one invites him to their pool parties.

Remember that the impact of criticisms are often not the intent of the critic.. but when you feel that the intent is evil., that's when you use your personal 'block' button.... upon eating up your critique (and this will happen), remember to separate out the good advice from the bitter herbs..

Remember to 'not' think of your senior project merely as a stepping stone to something else... and if it indeed is... be fascinated with the stone you're currently stepping on.

There's no need to sharpen your pencils anymore, your pencils are sharp enough., even the dull ones will make a mark.,

I love you.., 'We'll be waiting outside'.,.,

Goodluck., =) DFTBA
