It's sad that I rarely get to update this site. 

And the flat title of this entry is hinting that there is little inspiration around me. Haha. I use to frown upon on people who claim they are uninspired and therefore cannot function well. This is a tough pill to swallow. I am being frowned upon by myself!

After Google+ came and in confusion deleted the whole shitload of photos I have in this blog, I admit that I have lost the drive to write as much here. I'm finding myself wishing that I'll find time and try write more. I saw a print out inserted in my planner and it says, "Just do it anyway" and that is what I'm doing now.



Anyhoo, on a happier note, I am just over the moon to announce that Slate is doing pretty well. We are now available in select Bratpack stores and who knows in the near future, we might be coming out with other products other than planners. Well, that was the goal so I'm hoping it all pushes through. I am stoked for growth but I honestly feel a bit pressured. Growing Slate means I have to put in more time and effort and give everything else in me that's left after work. Madness.


Our trip to HCM/Cambodia could not have come in the best time. I need a break so bad.
Sana this trip is the inspiration that I have been looking for. Please. Be. It.




All the best,

MAKE YOURSELF

Posted on 2:49 AM by Corrine Floyd | 0 Squeaks!

If I hadn't made me, I would've been made somehow.
If I hadn't assembled myself, I would've fallen apart by now.
If I hadn't made me, I'd be more inclined to bow
Powers that be would have swallowed me up but that's more than I can allow.

If you let them take you, they'll make you paper-mache
At a distance you're strong, until the winds comes
Then you'll crumble and blow away.

You should make amends with you, if only for better health
But if you really want to live, why not try, and make yourself?


I hear you, Brandon Boyd. I hear you.
It’s just hard for to make a decision right now.
Let me breathe for a second here.

SLATE 2012 ★

Posted on 8:21 AM by Corrine Floyd | 0 Squeaks!

To say that a lot has happened in the past months is an understatement.

But lets not get into that now.


I've great news!

The Slate 2012 Planner will be out in a few weeks and it will also be available in selected Fully Booked stores!

I am so happy. We all are.


We started working on this earlier than we did last year and we're back stronger and better than ever with the best publisher! It's no secret that the biggest problem we had last year was with the printer. The name of that printing house is not even worth mentioning. It's ridiculous. It did give us a mightier back bone in dealing with people so for that, thanks. Haha. Anyhoo, here's your first look at Slate 2012:

First of all, YEAH I NOTICED THAT ALL OF MY OTHER PHOTOS ARE GONE. I wish I can just go cry in the corner and wish all the photos re-appear but that will never happen according to this link: Blogspot Users Lost All Their Photos. Seriously pissed at Google+!

Anyhoo, please score my Threadless design sub and help it get printed! There will be 10 winners for this contest and I am praying that I be one of the 10. I seriously need the prize money to pay for the productions of the Slate Planners for 2012! So, you're not just scoring my sub, you're being very supportive of my business too! Haha :)

No Rest & Peace for the Wicked!

Posted on 6:42 AM by Corrine Floyd | 0 Squeaks!



Just got back from a trip to Singapore. It was fun, tiring and expensive. My friends and I ate, rode all the rides we could and walked some mighty miles and then got lost many times.


Today, I'm back at the office, working...and you know what they say, "The people who need a vacation the most are the people who just came from one". Goodness! I really feel like those 5 days went so fast. I wish I had a half a year's worth of sabbatical!

There ain't no rest for the wicked
Money don't grow on trees
I got bills to pay, I got mouths to feed
There ain't nothin' in this world for free


I know I can't slow down, I can't hold back
Though you know I wish I could
Oh no, there ain't no rest for the wicked
Until we close our eyes for good~

Random Break~

Hey all!

I made a Tumblr account for all my recent illustrations! I didn't realize I have so few done this year!
I should finish one more before June comes! I should, I should!

Also, I've updated the Planet Slate blog! Look how alive it is now:




I'm gonna work on the layout some more when I find time.


All the best!
