Today I picked up the phone to hear THE company (aside from the learning centre at MK) inquire upon whether it was possible to arrange an interview. Sadly, the teaching contract on the other end (learning centre at SW) has been signed... hesitating about the marketing contract tom. REALLY really considering calling them back tomorrow and taking on the position. Funny how it's either all or nothing, but then life doesn't let you plan. Recently been enjoying a lot of Bruno Mars and Owl City... and making pictures that make people think. Used to scoff when professors say that contemporary art is all about causing a commotion, but hey, that's the only way to make one recognized. Stand out from the crowd, so to say. But of course, one does not go about doing that, just for the sake of doing that (Lady Gaga is prime not-example) - it's got to be a sort of feeling, or passion. Lately, pretty pictures no longer intrigue me, neither do the making of conventional, aesthetically pleasing portraits. Striving more towards, queer, out-of-the-ordinary. Unfortunately, it's rather hard to secure models nowadays - everybody is so busy. And self-conscious.

Noticed I've been using a lot of "I"'s in the facebook-sphere and daily conversations, don't like how I'm becoming so self centered. Would like to back off a bit. Also on the verge of giving up on the GRE, did the reading comprehension practice the other day and only managed to get half of it. Oh! And cleaned two fans today, which surprisingly makes me feel more accomplished than anything else I've been doing lately. Cleanliness always puts me in such a fresh mood. Now for a soul cleansing...

Feels good to just let the words flow.

I think I'm onto something big here...

"I like you" - it's the first time I've heard this phrase used this sort of setting. In an interviewer to interviewee setting. For once, I feel like THE candidate, although in reality I am barely holding it together underneath the surface. "You are fun, and bubbly". Perhaps, in this casual, creative yet over-achieving environment, is the place for me. The cross hanging around his neck was rather hard not to notice.
Everyday, I happen upon so many photo-worthy moments but, alas, I do not have my camera with me. Thoughts keep churning, yet no time is taken to write it down. Would like to make it a point to blog and photograph more. Oh, and prep for that GRE exam.
