as i grow older,
i learnt that beauty is much bigger than what my preconception of beauty was. to me, human beauty is simply appreciating a certain pleasing unique feature that every person has, be it a mole a sharp nose or full lips. you don't have to be model thin, you don't have to have a barbie doll face, you don't have to heaps of muscles popping everywhere (although that happens, i'll explain why later on). you just need to have something that you yourself is appreciative of.
many times he has always tell me that i like everything i see. it's like asking me why half of the cup is filled/full. i'm just appreciative of the smaller details. but being appreciative does not mean i'm obesessed with it... it just means that in the light of that moment i saw something that i did not notice and i realise and acknowledge the beauty of it.
back to muscles. being generically prettier gets you more glance from strangers on the street, but if only everyone will start finding beauty in each and everyone around them, maybe being happy would be easier now. having observed tons of models now, some models do have that certain feature that made them stand out; and on the street, not many would be so appreciative of it. upon learning that they are a model, most people go "oh so beautiful" like the hypocrites they are.

wouldn't the world be boring if everyone looks pretty much like barbie and ken?

Do you recall your worst day in business? Have you ever felt like giving up?
No. Sometimes you lose a job because you fight so hard for it, and you think you are going to win. But you lose the competition and you indeed feel a bit down. But I think sometimes those are even good signs for you: what you lose it today, you will get it back tomorrow. Something will always come back. I believe in the life of vacuum. When there is a vacuum, things will comes in. Like Lao-tzu said, at that point of void lies the utility, if this cup is full of wine, no new wine will come in, so you always need to pour away the water. And then new thing will come in, and new spirit will come in. So if you lose, it's OK. Maybe it's good, and you should lose it because it's not meant for you to get the job. And every time I'm "empty", something comes in. I have never felt like giving up. Seriously I never did. And I even never get a headache in my life. I feel that I am a bit blessed. There must be something up there, who looks after you. I am not religious, and I believe I am very spiritual.

being creative. is subjective. being subjective is biased. it's based (pardon the pun but ironically if you put an i into the word it becomes biased) on a collective mass approval that is sitting on a heap of hyprocrisy and culture all rolled into one.
being expressive. is difficult. being appreciated is tough. being loved is obligation.
Once there was a tree...and she loved a little boy.

my mind got interupted by a commercial.
the thing about these commercials is that even when they seemed genuinely concerned about you they are in fact simply selling their products to you. very much like reality and human nature indeed.
a moment in time is hard to capture, and time always slips away and leaves me stranded. it could be a calling for me, as to what i still have not figure it out.
as to what is good design, perhaps. what is reality and what is not, what are people's common perception and what is unacceptable. humans' common notion conceives the reality, and the reality is not always the right thing to stick your guns for.
i have not wrote about my personal life for a very long time, for the fact that the facts are not worth writing about anymore. as my memories of various people dissipates, i can only hope that when i see them the feeling i used to have for them will still be there. not talking about anyone in general, but you know when you see someone you have not seen in a long time and it's hard to react...
