About Me




I believe that everyone must have at least one thing in their lives that is equivalent to the fact that humans must breathe air in order to live and survive.
For me, it's being creative. If I can’t be creative in the things I do, then it’s like I’m not breathing.
i love music.. i love design and things like Adobe.. and i'm often attached to my camera being trigger happy and snapping at everything.. and i love japanese food! the real kind..
I'm one of those annoying ones that is a perfectionist when i'm in action aka 'attention to detail', but very laid back back when i'm not aka 'i really don't care..'
I've a million ideas running through my brain per second so when it comes through to reality big or small, it's a pretty good feeling..
..I've revived my love for all things art..in particular water colors and using japanese ink. it doesn't really have to be japanese..any ink will do haha. but yah i'm totally loving playing around with different mediums and hoping to create something new from all things old.
Last week (week of 4th february 08) i had a mid 20's life crisis. but i'm over it i think. i realised im just evolving as a person and that i should embrace it. i've got many talents yet to be seen in full bloom, So now im on a creative trip. whatever that means, i hope it'll lead me to beautiful places and serving needs and purposes other than my own..
I don't care about popularity koz i think it's worthless. People on the "lower deck" are much more interesting, genuine and real. I love people. simple as that. Qualities i dislike in people are: jealousy, envy, being boastful, anger, selfseeking etc. honestly, it gets u nowhere and plus, u've ur own life to live. so live it..
I love the outdoors. I'm in love with the ocean. I love to surf. And i'm often ridiculously in awe of the simple things like clouds..infact, i'd love to have a go at heaven's version of photoshop and illustrator.
My life is reserved for things that matter the most and I'll continue to invest all I have in everything that will outlive those things that only fade away here on earth.. and I'm not ashamed of that.
it's intriguing to think that no one on this earth will ever think and create a new colour from scratch. think about it..
I love feeling foreign. I love sitting in a tucked away lil cafe in some bustling gigantic city just listening to an unknown music artist with immense talent.
i think somewhere along the way, i'll end up being a part of the UN. why not. either way, I know where I'm headed..
And I swear my heart is formed in the shape of Africa. I'm blessed with a burden for that place.
And in 2009, i'll be leaving some familiar things behind.... to start a fabulously new journey...
here we go..
[i still have no numbering system on my my top friends..]
read my blogs if u want.
