And you know what that means for people with Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) like me. Looks like I'll be greeting 2019 with the blues. Yeah I know I shouldn't be feeling this way but fuck this rain haha! It has spoiled some plans I have for my 3-week vacation. You see, when the Christmas orders from this client of mine were all done by December 15, I decided not to work until the year ends. I also decided not to do anything for my already neglected brand Buhay Bohemio. I don't wanna work and I don't wanna think about work, or think about how to get back on track with my brand. I just wanna relax for goodness sake.

This year-end post seem to be more about Hardin Bohemio haha! But this garden project is my only creative achievement for 2018, I guess. Well I did relaunch my Tees & Tanks this year in June with new designs and printed stocks after about a 2-year hiatus from retailing. I was able to sell a good number of pieces to previous customers who had been waiting for this come-back. But stubborn me, I still didn't do any marketing. Then after a couple of months, orders from my regular client (Customized Chic), that I supply graphics to, started to pile up because it was already the peak season, you know, the -ber months. So since August all the work I did was for Customized Chic (which I am grateful for) and my garden, Hardin Bohemio, while Buhay Bohemio Tees & Tanks got pushed aside again and that adds to my New Year blues. I feel that I owe a great amount of time and attention to what should be my primary enterprise. But why did I allow this to happen? Maybe I'll talk about it in another post because this post is getting really long hehe.
Like what I said earlier, I know that I shouldn't be caught feeling this way as we step into the new year even with all these puddles. Did the holiday storm ruined some of your plans too? Well some people didn't plan to lose property and loved ones to the recent storm... Even if 2018 is marked with sorrow, we must face 2019 remembering how we were blessed with the warm and sunny days of our lives and how we are made strong to survive life's cold, dark and stormy days.
So yeah, let us all allow ourselves have a happy new year!
