What's on Your Mind

Oh I think I drank way too much coffee and was dehydrated from the gym last night...starting to feel a little better... Too much caffeine...

Last night I watched an interview of Victoria Beckham with The New York Post on her career growth in fashion industry.

Her interview ignites my passion towards my original ambition - fashion design. I am a craft-type of person therefore I have always been interested in fashion design follows with interior design. Evidently I worked in a real estate company for 5 years due to my love in interior design/architecture.

But I never had the chance to do anything in fashion industry. I did receive a lot of exposure and moral support from my friends and high school teachers but I let my ambition go because my mother said no to it. She said it's a job for gay people. I wasn't out at the time.

I ended studying in Multimedia Design, which was about video, audio and graphic design. I was passionate in video editing/shooting so i worked as a video editor and cameraman for several years. But from 2010 upward, I was solely known as a graphic designer.

Frankly, I am not that crazy and passionate with graphic design. The profession pays my bills but eh.

I've been working as a graphic designer professionally for 7 years and honestly, I am tired of it. I don't want to see myself working as a graphic designer in another 5 years. I have no interest to be a creative director in an ad agency. It's not my thing.

So I discussed with my colleagues; what if I go back to study in fashion or interior design? Great idea but with two setbacks - Fund to study and part time course in fashion/interior design is not available in my country.

So I keep thinking. How can I blend my passion in fashion design, craft and fitness? Then duh. Produce my own line of fitness based tees to begin with. From selecting the fabric of tee, producing the graphic and crafting the packaging. Then I can always jump into video shooting/editing/photography to advertise my tees. Then who knows, maybe the idea can evolve into something bigger as time goes by.

So there. I determine to make this happen.

Best wishes.

Let's see, some shopping that I need to do, that's what's on my mind.

I spent the whole day yesterday to study about snake and centipede, I also spent the whole of this morning to study about king cobra.
It seems that I have been attracted with reptile, haha. I really need to go to the zoo this sunday.

I am wondering if I should attempt to "bury the hatchet" with someone... No not with who you might think... I just don't know if it would be worth the energy, there's plenty of reason for it to go over badly. Or should I just keep moving along....

Recently I cut ties with my closest friend.

From distant, it does look rather harsh and cruel thing to do.

But if you know the reason why I left him, you would think otherwise.

I stayed loyal and defended him with all my heart when he was looked down. All of his friends stepped back and hid behind bushes.

And what did I get in the end?

He abandoned me for all of his friends. Additionally I was given two rules by him.

Rule no. 1 - I can't speak to him in the gym while he can freely talk to all of his friends.

Rule no. 2 - I can't speak to few gym members that he had beef with.

Then what else can I do in the gym? One day he caught me asking for career advice from one of his 'enemies'. He then scolded me the whole night nonstop with his volcanic temper.

And more.

The friendship is not worth it. Hence why I left him.

He can have his other friends. I hope one day he will open his eyes and realize his mistakes. I used to love him very much and would do anything for him.

He sounds like an ass

[Cridders88]

He sounds toxic [MENTION=21041]Jay[/MENTION], I think you made the right choice. You've no time for people that treat you like that in your life.
