Motivation

54 days til I attempt 4 Sasuke obstacles. Even though its a mere simulation, I couldn't be more ecstatic to be able to fulfill a personal goal. Failed to accomplish this task last year due to a minor dorsalgia. This time, I am determined to win this game

I really need to keep my spirits up while struggling with school. Only 2 weeks left and dozens of unfinished projects. Not to mention I'm working with 2 incompetent teammates. The situation is so chaotic that the teacher apologized for making me part of the A-team.

Even though school was hectic for a delinquent like myself, I won't regret enrolling into Interior Design. It was at Interdec that I witness my classy teacher explaining to my fellow classmate Lana that her name was Anal when spelled backwards. It was in this institution that hired me as a model (a very short model). The experience was quite enjoyable and I finally got my 5 minutes of fame as a laughing stock.

Megan says it looks like 80's condom ads and I couldn't agree more...However, I am glad I have someone to share my shame, Mr.Chan. He got a trim and got depressed for the whole week. Even though we find him very stylish with his new scarf, he can't get over his weight gain.

In other news, my lovely gf left to HK island and once again I am alone...FREEDOM!!! Our relationship has been sailing smoothly for the past 2 years or so. Even though we're mostly apart, I find that the time we're not together to be more meaningful. Maybe its because we have something to look forward to or  maybe we need a break from each other .

PS: Sorry for the display pic, I am not that hypocrite and I still loathe people who do so. I have another motive and needed to prove a point (although it is not justified with a good reason).

Can one truly change?

I know it's an age old/boring topic but I can't stop pondering...

I tried hard to change but it didn't last long. I tried to be kind but I end up being an hypocrite. I usually end up bashing everyone in the process and refuse to remedy the situation. Because in the end, if I needed to change in order to adapt, Id end up being someone else. I know there's a time for white lies but as we get closer, I don't feel the need to restrain myself. I really though it was a mutual understanding that we've build throughout the road we've paved.

I don't know why I get irritated so easily and react with instinctive insults. I assume it's a self-defense mechanism I've built throughout my oh-so-horrible childhood (sarcasm). In the end, I really don't want to hurt you but I can never seem to find the right ingredient to keep you happy. I'm constantly struggling to give the right amount of affection so it never gets too cheeky or boring. Maybe I am trying to hard to keep everything in "order" or maybe I have issues committing.

In the end, I can't stop thinking about our issues, I know I've been wrong but I also expected a little bit more from the opposite end. I definitely want to work things out but I have yet to find an answer. I know if we let the situation unresolved, we'd be having this conversation again. I think the only resolution is to walk in each other's shoes despite the size difference. I'm a firm believer that hard work does pay off. From all the shortcuts I've taken, I realized that I worked twice as hard to find a shortcut. I hope my new training blog will inspire you or make you understand what I've been trying to say or do.

On a totally unrelated note, I am so disappointed for not bringing my camera to my friend's place. I though it was going to be a casual night where we watch the hockey game and end up puking or high. Most of the assumption remains true except we we're greeted by six puppies! I'm a sucker for family pets and I couldn't keep my hands off them.

This is how we show off our manliness à la Paris

I fell head over heel for Lily
IMG_0642IMG_0659
Lily had such an innocent face and wasn't hyper active like most dogs. I found out later that she actually had head trauma and couldn't be like other dogs. I felt such compassion for her and couldn't let her off my sight. I really wish I could keep her.

I am color blind

Figuratively speaking that is. I can never pick a harmonious color palette despite spending sleepless night dissipating colors from thousands of images. I finally got the chance to prove myself in the real world as an Interior designer. I have a full house to decorate from scratch and a "playroom" dedicated for my imagination to fulfill. My deadline is in t-9 hours <insert shocked expression + water drop emoticon><exclamation times 3>

My usual palette (neutral, dark and subtle)

Mini


On a totally unrelated subject, I am zealous (not jealous) that my parents left for Europe! They finally got a break from their fulltime jobs and household duties. While I can clean up the house to my taste which is throwing out and donating as much as the city permits. I am not sure if it's the case with most Asians families but my parents just keep everything and will go through the trouble of digging through my trash whenever I decide to tidy up the household. The end result is the relocation of my trash scattered around our abode. After 3 full garbage bags of frozen livestock, I can safely assume our new fridge is working as it should and will not dissolve my exuberant Häagen-Dazs!

Raymond and I decided to tackle the dry-food and drugs compartment. To our surprise, Mr. Chan already commenced his spring cleaning of catnips.

After a downpour of leafy green flakes, we found Mr. Chan bathing in ecstasy. This endorphin high kitty wouldn't even let us Swiffer the remains without clawing our flesh. To make matters worse, Mr. Chan tried to escape to the wild. With Mr. Chan's virgin ass on the line, I had to catch him despite my aging physique. I, Jason Chan, successfully saved a cat from getting gangbanged.

If it's not blurry, I'm already improving

I love working with new cameras and specially when there's significant improvements. No more white floating particles nor Photoshop-esque renders of pictures (cough...Sony...cough). Just getting the hang of carrying extra baggage and working out my bicepts. Hopefully, I'll gather better compositions for my portfolio (due in 2 weeks).

OMFG, thank you Xanga!

Due to the death of my backup drive, I lost all of my projects from last year. At first, it didn't bother me much since I consider all my work very amateurish. But I never thought I'd need to make a portfolio in my last semester...which is due this Wednesday. I still have a few hand drawn renders but I really wanted the Photoshop composition I made in the first semester. Upon giving up, my Xanga obsessed girlfriend sent me links to a few hotties' blog and I decided to log in my account. Et voila! first thing I saw was the Photoshop composition along with a trip down memory lane.

Is there no more demureness these days?

After reading a few old entry made me realize how childish and insignificant I can be. I was like the fucking losers roaming on Assbook. I miss the sincerity of people's writing and roaming/stalking random strangers without a care since I probably will never cross path in real life. I appreciate the fact that I don't have any wannabee beefcake posing semi nude on here (at least on my subscribed list...I think, I really didn't check). First and foremost, who the fuck do you think you guys are? Do you think you look good enough for posing so? IMHO...so far so flab. I take personal training very seriously and let me tell you fobs that I'd be ashamed of posing/flexing with a body fat of 10% or more (bear in mind that 8.5% is the minimum requirement to be on the cover of Men's health). Maybe it's the fact that some people are so insecure that they need acknowledgement of every fucking step they take. Lastly, for the sake of humanity and the little dignity left for your self-worth; put on some clothes.

OR be born with fur like Mr.Chan

Don't get me wrong, I'm as much of a douchebag as those I frown upon. My display of retaliation won't change anything and I've already sunk to their level by acknowledging their futile existence. BUT I would like to know from a girl's perspective on this subject, does it bother you or do you appreciate this epidemic plaguing social networking services? because if it was the opposite sex selfishly promoting their body (ie: Kim Kardashian after lipo & Photoshop), Id applaud and PRINT SCREEN...PRINT SCREEN!

AND YES! I'm a hypocrite as well...I can't wait to snap pictures of myself on the mirror with my new toy! Shameless self-promotion & showing off like the millions who can't properly use a DSLR and still uses the default lenses (that's me!)

20/20

As a kid, I've always wanted glasses because my parents wouldn't buy me anything unless it was for school. It was the only thing that wasn't out of reach because it was mandatory for my studies.In order to get what I wanted, I would sit in front of the TV, lie on the desk to do my homework and read with insufficient lighting. I got my glasses but it never gave me the smarts, the looks nor was it something cool to own.

Long story short, I'm debating to get laser surgery to get 20/20 vision...again. The cost would be 2400$ for Lasyk and 3500$ for KPR. Quite steep for a jobless student so I'm hoping that it's less expensive in Asia since most Asians wear corrective lenses.

Misunderstood

Nick said he'll pass by my place scootering in the rain. 2 hours later, he wasn't here nor was he picking up his phone. I figured he'd be playing badminton so I waited until 10:40 to call since the gym closes at 10:30. After several attempts, I decided to scooter to his place to make sure he didn't slip off the road. As I get close to his place, I see Nick's chasing me. He wanted to give props to the other idiot riding in this weather, which would be me. So what he meant was to scooter over AFTER badminton....

Off to Melody

And to end the night at Circus with new friends and drugs. Upon security inspection, I yelled out: Oh yeah! Touch me! Then the security guard told me that my display of idiocy will backfire. He whispered to me: It's a gay party tonight .

REDCROSS CANADA

Let's not forget that little DO help. Regardless that not all the funds go directly to the cause, at least some % will make it. I'm donating for humanity and not racial/country specific since we all know that I'm not pro-china in any aspect.

* It's also tax deductible!

Photoshop - Perspective Drawing

This was the most time consuming project for photoshop classes. Had to learn the "pen" tool and make it as realistic as possible. Even bought a Wacom tablet hoping it would speed up the process but it didn't.
