HELLO!! HAPPY 2009!!

Been a long time since I stopped and thought about things. I mean like brainless reviews like scribbling on a blog you know? I have been saying that it didn't feel like a new year. So after a week a so, let's review my 2008.

2008 had been quite a lousy year I guess. Usually you end up with woah, what a year. It was more like a dammit, finally. Only memorable part was the first exhibition I threw, MESH. That's 2008 right? It suddenly seemed so long ago.

Came holidays, I watched like over 20 dramas to kill time. It's one of the first holidays I didn't get to travel overseas because of hall activities, which really sucked. I thought I was gonna go Hokkaido for sure. Came and go OC, didn't love it, didn't suck either. Wasn't worth a year of effort that's all.

Oh back on the 20 odd dramas. It was when I discovered KAME AND JIN! HAHAHAHA! I've watched like so many dramas it felt like a fast forward of 8 years. And throw in some talk shows too. I've watched everything from america to uk to japan to hong kong to taiwan and back to japan. Maybe I should kinda thank monster hunt? I finally got down to watch the new kindaichi movie, which isn't that new anymore, where KAME took over as hajime.

Okay yes I know the previous paragraph was nothing very designerish.

Second semester didn't see any proud works. Well let's talk about firsts for 2008. I had my first cruise trip, first exhibition, first paid experience design, first internship I guess I meant to say first office designer experience, first label formed, first interactive installation displayed. Well I still didn't make it to cambodia, neither did I celebrate my birthday at tokyo tower. Oh ya 08 was when I turned 21, it was pretty much insignificant, for those who remembered, thank you. I kinda received like 5 presents? Hahaha of which one I returned. Cash from the kids, vader from the OG that I was never part of which is kinda a few close friends from blk b, diana and flowers from darren and secret. HAHAHA. Probably it didn't feel quite like a proper year because I hardly celebrated anything. Hardly any friends' birthday, my own birthday, not even valentine's or anniversaries, or maybe even a proper christmas and new year. It had been a tough year in school, and wasn't in any mood for parties and attention.

But I guess 2008 is still an important year for me, where everything settled to form and develop. I mean it kinda like I got to know myself much more and not that uncertain about things anymore. Past few years there were so many fresh things to try out and stuff, after a while you get used to things, and probably that fresh vibe, you tend to calm down a lot more. Well nonchalance kicks in again, you know how to handle things much better. And pretty much I know what I want now in a way more structured manner. Something that I'm very proud of since young, I've always knew what I want. Well it still stays, but these days you ponder how to get there.

In view of that, 2009 will be a continuation of working hard to get there. よろしくお願いします！

You know there's this phrase that's stuck in my head these days, 突然だけど好き！

Working on a few things now, if there's any resolutions at all for 2009, it will be better health (which is pretty tough), more proud works, lose some weight and for darren to be a happier person. Don't get it wrong, it's not like he's depressed, it will be great if he can be even happier. Haha. Oh not really a resolution but more like a wish, whatever I'm working on now, I really hope it pays off.

Aiights, nights! I'll think a lil more before writing next time. This is a mess.
