faRewell to the staRt...

After almost five months... we all boils down to this! After sitting for 3 hours every tuesday night,what really happened? What did we become because of those 5-8 moments? What did we learn from all discussions? So what now?

For this blog let me not decide into anything... I will just let the story unfold as I stare blankly to the winking cursor....

Just like any other posts that I did... I really don't know where to start... and yes, even where to end... So how do we really begin endings?

Lets start from the very beginning.

We watched a documentary entitled objectified... an hour and half documentary film on creating, modifying and developing a product.

So what now?

As I have mentioned in my blog, I hope that it made us appreciate, respect, and take action to further promote and take responsibility of the things that we take a hold. Not because of the brand, or its cost, but because of what is inside the product... the process it gone through... the people behind it.

We studied the four quadrant of the brain and its hemesphere. It was discussed that there are left and right brain thinkers. that there are some who are logical, critical or the artsy partsy, those who think zig zags when the rest are thinking of straight lines.

So what now?

For me, it made me balance things out. I have learned that there are some decisions that need both functions and critiques. I have learn that its not always an excuse to be a "right" thinker or "left" thinker, I did something becuase I want to do it. I stand firmly on what I thought is right.

We studied on creativity... the little Cs and Big Cs... idea generation. from big-time companies... the process of creativity.... how do one goes about it and how do others do it.

So what now?

I have learned to appreciate what I can and cannot do, to accept my little Cs and take encouragement to those Big Cs yet waiting to be reached. I am looking forward to get my hands into new endeavors of creativity.

We tackled japanese inventions, creative companies, creative indidviduals, decision-making, mind-mapping, affinity maps, post-its! we have learned how to do creative things methodogically.

So what now?

I guess I became more open and accepting to new ideas, to be ciritcal so I will not stop to where I am now and go on to where I am heading too, to be graceful despite the stress. To dare to dream big not only for oneself but more so for others. To weight things out. To ask. To know. To act.

It was five months of a lot of learnings, and fun. Tuesday nights spent with people ready to share their knowledge and be open. Countless suspensions, as if Tuesday is the real Saturday.  Time of extracting creative juices due to requirements.

So what now?

I hope that from now on, I will become more and more, better person, better thinker, criticallyand creatively, take better judgments, and take a  appreciation not only of arts but also to anything.

The semester is coming to its end... and so is this blog.. but I hope that things we learned from eachother will take an effect towards us endlessly.
