Life is much more fulfilling when i spend my time productively :) I don't want to look back on my summer and think, "Wow. I did nothing." I want to be proud of myself.
I'm pretty happy about this summer. work is becoming more and more natural to me, and customers have been telling me that I'm always happy and friendly whenever they see me. that makes me happy that i've made a good impression on them. I've made earrings for just about all the girls at Yogurtland, which is actually quite bonding. in addition, i've been working on my photography. i must've taken at least two thousand--maybe three thousand--pictures this summer, and I got my first paid photography gig by Alex for his badminton lessons in fremont. so far it's turning out pretty well; it's pretty good practice. sports photography isn't as fun nor as demanding as fashion photography, but it's good to add to my arsenal.
my efforts in school have paid off too; I finally got the Jack Sen scholarship thingie (what a pleasant change from my high school years!), but I have to give a speech -___- I'll be representing the college students, and I only hope that I won't sound stupid. Yesterday when my parents and I went to their office to purchase dinner tickets, the Jack Sen people said that I should compete in their Miss SF Chinatown pageant. My mom really wants me to (she's even willing to buy the cheongsam dress and everything, which is very out of character for her) but I don't want to open myself up to public scrutiny -_- it'll just make me insecure. Plus I'll have to work out and get alls toned and everything. too much work but it sounds like it'd be fun!
i finished my domo bag but i have a strong urge to make more :D and i still haven't gotten to work on my dresses yet! i need more time!

i was perusing and saw this post. that's really awesome with the scholarship :) i really think u should go for it. any opportunity to get ur name out there is worth a shot. you've really stepped up and im happy for u.
also the pageant things sounds interesting...it could be fun. ive been to a filipino pageant and the girls seemed to enjoy it. so why not? new experience and everything. even if u dont win, it's still nice that someone recommended that u do it.
well keep doing what u are doing, because u are doing a great job with ur life right now. as a fellow graphic design student and ur friend, im proud of u ^__^
If you have the time, I'd say to try for the pageant! Two of my friends have been it in in the past (one for Miss Teen Chinatown and one for Miss Chinatown). Rehearsals and whatnot will take up time, but they both really enjoyed it overall and networked a lot through the other girls and the sponsors. Think about it and give it a try! (:
I'm glad you're doing so well, especially with school and photography!
guys! thanks for the support! i'll think about it heheh. i heard you have to get sponsored though so it seems like i'll need to really work for it though -_- but it will prob be a good experience!
