At first, I wasn't really sure what I wanted to be. Well, as I am
keen on writing, my dream as a child was to be
an editor at some chic magazine - due to the movie
The Devil Wears Prada, and
of course the serial
Ugly Betty. Within the other part of me, I really like to . . .
make stuff. Since a child, I've been making stuff and
really do enjoyed it. Although they were just the little things that are, most of the time,
pointless . . . such as
bracelets and necklaces, toy cameras from used tissue boxes, then it got bigger to
paper-tole (3D decoupage), and etc. My favorite alley in the
toy-store was definitely the
arts & crafts area, where I could freely pick all of those
colorful Crayola kits to be my best friend (literally, though. I do have real friends.)
Well, perhaps it's a
'mom-thing' - where every mommies know what is their
child's strengths & weaknesses. When I was in my last stages of school, mommy told me to think about entering a
design school, where I should study
interior design - as she told me that graphic design is very booming and is everywhere,
at that point of time. Then again, I've just realized that since a child I like to change
my room's layout and
wall color every now and then. So then, I followed her advice to look for something . . .
rare.
I really am
grateful to really study and deepen my knowledge in the
world of design. It wasn't that
'easy' as I thought it would. The road was
complex, I'm telling you. We, as interior design students, also have to learn about construction, plumbing systems, and all those
details - which
I thought it was the job for
architects, not interior designers.
Really? Equations for stairs? And lighting points? Are you kidding me?
Although there were
obstacles and difficulties that I had to face, I managed to cope with them all and went through
my process. We can't just expect to see some
magic happens and
poofs right away in front of you. I think
every little thing needs process. Design needs process. I am
truly blessed to see and experienced all of the processes and I'm really pleased that I could cope with the problems that I had for the
last 2 years.
If it weren't because of
God's mighty strength and never-ending grace, I wouldn't be like this today. I now have finished my
Advanced Diploma from
the Institute, and I'm now preparing for my
Bachelor's degree in another countable months,
overseas.
A
new door to open. A new experience is waiting.
A new process awaits.
P.S. - Perhaps this little something for the day that I shared, might . . . be a little light bedtime story for you guys *teehee*
OHHH! Another P.S. - My baby Boggie was really reaaaallllyy sweet, as always. We had a nice late lunch at Kempinski and made me very full with the Norwegian pan-fried salmon which was very delicious!
