i have never blogged about china since i got back from my first and last trips. i mean, written anything about the trip and all. i posted a few photos though without any captions. too busy and too lazy to do so during that time.
i have decided to write about what i earned/learned during and after the trip instead. so here it goes:
i earned:
- new chinese friends who i will never see again after my last trip
- a few chinese yuan change which i just learned that cannot be exchanged to peso because they only accept 100 and 50. (do you think this should go to the learned list?) souvenirs na lang ng trip.
- a sprained left thumb (dahil sa kakagamit ng tripod sa office/studio) that fails to heal even though it's been almost 4 months.
- a 500GB external hard disk which during its first mission failed to keep my important data. thus, i lost them all.
- 2 chinese visas on my new passport along with the stamps, proof that i went out of the country
- callouse on my feet from walking 8 hours a day for 1 week during the jinhan and canton fairs na hindi ko pa napapafoot spa kse pambili na lang ng pagkain kesa ilaan pa dun.
- a mini planetary sharpener which i've always wanted to have since i was young.
- a bunchful of memories about the place that when i look back will always make me smile
i learned that:
- chinese people will still try to communicate with you even if you cannot understand each other (applies to non-english speaking chinese people only) and that they are happy people.
- i can live eating super oily foods with sesame oil everyday.
- i can walk back and forth in a place 8 times bigger than SM Megamall for 8 hours a day for 1 week.
- i can live wearing the same jeans without washing it for almost a month. hindi naman ako nangati.
- i suck in design (designing) in every aspect of it and if i would like to get serious in it i need to break my back to get good at it. or perhaps i would never be because i never had it in me in the first place.
- what you perceive is not what really it is.
- you might have done everything that you can but you will still never be good enough
- i can actually learn photoshop if i will just allot time to it.
- adventure is good but not too much.
- i can't get the things i wanted the most even if i waited for 10 long years for it. maybe it's time to give it up because it will always remain as it is, a dream.
-----------------------------
overall, it was a great experience. though, it had a sad ending. but still i am thankful for the opportunity and the realization na kunyaring artist lang pala ako. hehehe... for now, i need to move on. charge to experience na lang lahat ng nangyari. :D
