costume designing | Whatever it is, it's not so bad

So, I am on to assignment 3 today, for blogging101 course. Trying to play catch up… The assignment For yesterday, was meet your neighbors. I had to follow 5 new blogs and 5 new topics, I think that’s right. Wow… Not as easy as I thought. Everytime, I would start to read a blog that I liked, I noticed at the end of the post it was category that I was already following.

I then went out to the freshly pressed blogs, then to readers favorite blogs, then topics, tags, etc… I finally settled on topics. My new blogs that I decided to follow are humor, family, art, culture and travel. I read some great blogs today, that I wouldn’t have read, if I had not done my assignment. Some of them, might not have been my favorite categories, but I quite enjoyed reading them, after scrolling through the topics list.

Being able to see blogs from all over the world is quite exciting. I even discovered one blog, where I and the blogger had the same phobias. I thought… Wow… There is someone out there like me and the thing we have in common is more than just typing away on our blog. Well, that’s what I learned today. Take a chance and try to follow someone, you might never of thought of following. You might be pleasantly surprised, to learn a thing or two.

The name of my blog is “whatever it is, it’s not so bad.” Today I have changed my title, for my second blogging101 assignment. I guess, they want to know if I know how to change my title. Yes, I do. The reason I picked my original title is because I try to see the positive, that life has to offer. Life has many challenges, good and bad. When I open my blog each day, I can glance at the title, to see a little reminder, that life is okay.

That what will be, will be. As long as I try to give my best effort, life can’t be that bad. We tend to complain about our life, the obstacles that we face, the ups and downs. Sometimes, it seems there is too many downs and not enough ups. One way I remind myself to be positive, is that I have another day on this earth. I wake up and say, “thank you, for another day.” To myself, of course…lol. I get another chance to see the trees, the sky and the birds. Another day to see my family and friends.

When I was younger, I would say, “whatever,” when I didn’t like something or things weren’t going my way. Whatever this, whatever that… I wouldn’t really think things through, just a quick whatever would do. I even had a friend who I hadn’t spoken to for a number of years, ask me if I still said, whatever. I never thought, I said it that much. Now, my feelings have changed, about using that word. Actually, I rarely say the word anymore. My new saying is “C’est la vie.”

It is a French saying, which means “that’s life or that’s the way it goes.” So this is reason, I choose my title, “whatever it is, it’s not so bad.”
