Cut-out Dreams

Before anything else, I thank Stevevhan for saying I’m one of your favorites. You’ve got weird tastes man, but thank you. Peace.

Expect more major awesomeness from this blog in the following months! I feel sorry since this blog had been such a mess. I’m gonna rearrange and fix things, spend moolah for this blog’s design, bloghop and return comments like a madman. Yes, I’m a whole new being now. I’ve always been saying that my 2010 started with a very big bang that I don’t know how to react at first. It’s like God shuffled everything that I arranged for my life. Meh. There’s a time for everything, but I just suck at those types of exams where you have to arrange the events chronologically, so here I am all mixed up. Still, it’s nice that I can still cope with all of these things happening.

Blessings really pour down, I’m glad. What that Holy Book is saying is very true, though sometimes the verses sound like a joke because everything sounds unbelievably magical. Well, I guess supernatural things are natural. These huge blessings are being poured on me so perfectly quick that I don’t know what to grab hold of first!

That reminds me of telling you about the vision board.

Have you heard of the vision board? Some call it the dream board.  It looks like that one up there. That’s not mine lol. At the beginning of the year, you make a collage (visual representation) of the things that you’re dreaming of achieving. For example, if you want to be an actress, put a symbol on the dream board by cutting a picture of someone who’s acting or probably a picture of an actress. If you want a DSLR, cut out a picture of a DSLR and paste it there. Then if you’re done, put the board (any board! illustration board, etc) somewhere you can always see it. It’s some sort of motivation. According to my Social Psychology class, everyday when you look at it, you unconsciously motivate yourself. This helps you stay focused on what you really want to have and what you really want to do. :D

It really works! And it’s not some sort of religion or something. It’s all in the brain. It’s proven. Actually, this is my first year to start a vision board, and oh my gosh, I could check a lot already. I put in a picture of money and a logo of Paypal (lolz!), and then I got money on my Paypal account! Then, I put in Korean sentences in there to represent my desire to increase my Korean Language knowledge, and now I’ve just registered to a Korean Language Training Program. See? It’s all about keeping yourself motivated and focused.

I think Oprah Winfrey and Mirriam Quiambao make vision boards every year. That’s what my Social Psych professor told us. Even my Speech Communication teacher makes one every year, and she says it’s also working for her. She also told us how it worked on students of the Harvard University.

Make one now! Lol, now I am endorsing the vision board. I’ll post a picture of my vision board next time. :) I really think that this Vision Board is so great. 나만 믿어!

Q’s:
1. How’s January 2010?
2. Are you going to make a vision board, too?
