Summer Fatigue

lately it has been the summer weather that has gotten me exhausted. On top of that i have been losing my appetite and weight. Summer has drawn most of my energy while 80% of my life is based at work. I have no time on schedule for vacations, hangouts late nights or out for coffee with my usual friends...I am not sleeping and eating well. However, today was my day off and I officially have taken this day off even if work try to call me in. I needed a day of to regain my health back. Also lately I haven't been taking any pictures or upgrading my blog with new photo because of overworking. I am at unease but am working earnestly to prep for my next lifetime career. Today, I ran into a guy who says he is a Photographer and works for the Gallo Winery firm while I went grocery shopping with a friend of mine. Learning that he is going to Atlanta for the business. I ask him how is photography a big influence to him now. he said it was his kids. And you can see all five of the kids surrounding him. Learning that they were most important to him as a single father and he has to leave them for the first time for a business trip. I learn that sometimes it takes some of your time and sacrifices when passion is put into effort. Being the observer I think I want to work on portrait pictures and as well as event. My goal is to work on a new project while I manage my job. Therefore I see why our passion has driven us so far. Everyone call me "crazy" but I'm so full of imagination that it leads me to great creativity.
As my Fashion Professor Diane Green says:

"It's your imagination that leads you to a great creativity and may place you in a great opportunity or promotions."

Also I have been on a journey searching...Therefore, this book I am reading that was recommended by my friend/manager while discussing doing something wild like a crazy crossroad travel to a unknown places.
(discussing that one day I want to just get on a plane and go land on unknown country and start living in villages or town and learn cultures and languages maybe in japan)

This book called Catfish and Mandala by Andrew X. Pham
it is a great novel about a young Vietnamese American who journey from the bay area in California on bicycle himself who cross half the world to Vietnam and is in search for his own cultural identity and exploring his memoirs of war and family secret ties. This is a wonderful narrative and poetic novel.
