Finally Blogger for iPhone

I know I haven't been blogging at all on blogger or on tumbler lately, but it's good to finally see blogger app for iPhone. Hope there is a version for iPad soon!

Recent updates...

So back in Hong Kong, haven't done very much actually, just getting back to routine of adjusting to life here. Really nothing special I guess...

One thing I decided to do was to quick smoking. This coming Saturday, which is tomorrow will be 7th week. So I'm almost there... I'm doing this 12 weeks medicated course. and I'm on the 8th week... so one more month to go. In case you are wondering what medication I'm taking, the medication is called Champix. In the states it's called Chantix, it's working for me and I have been a regular smoker for 15 years or so. Then again, quitting smoking is a very personal thing, you will have to want to quit yourself in order for it to work. If you don't want to quit, then don't this medication would help at all...

So I'm looking for work, it's such a painful process that I hate, and it doesn't seem to go the way I want it, however we are not in control of it. However I do think I'm beginning to be unemployable, which sucks. I don't know... Have to ride my luck and see what happens, anyone have any good leads for graphic design please send them my way!!!

Oh I finally gotten around to do my online portfolio, now I have a good portion of my work online which I'm quite happy with, easy for others to see now. Please go check out when you have time, here is the link.

That's it for now, have to get back preparing quotations for freelances and building lesson plans for my part time classes! Laters!

The year of 2009 and a little bit of 2008

Ok, 2010 is just a day away, I'm sitting in my studio apartment, everything is packed. I know my last blog entry was the end of September, so what has been happening? Well I've finished my final project and have passed it smoothly.

As the year is coming to an end, it's time for reflection. I really can't complain about these two years, from getting my scholarship to becoming a Chevening and Hutchison Scholar to passing my MA in Graphic Design at LCC with a distinction. There isn't much I could and will complain. Sure there have been struggles and doubts at times and there were ups and downs. Truth to it all, I can say that I can remember more ups and downs, which is a always a good thing.

The past year living in London has been a blast for me, and doing it with Joie is a blessing I can never forget, and I thank God that he gave me a chance to do it.

I have met many friends here, my classmates and peers, which have become my extended family. The best thing of it all, they all hail from different parts of the world which makes this extended family even more special. I can honestly say having these brothers and sisters come from parts of the US, Canada, Hong Kong, Columbia, Brazil, Ireland, Korea, China, Taiwan, Thailand, Australia, Spain, Italy, etc... not to mention friends who are from London themselves. We have all grown and interacted together for a year and I hope this will continue even though we will be headed to different places. This experience was so unique and special to me, and will definitely cherish every memory of it. It would have not been the same without them, I remember so much laughter and jokes we shared and ,in class, the constant amusement we give each other, for better or worse both positives and negatives. Just loved the whole experience.

So now, what do I look forward to? What are my plans? This I do not know yet, which is scary and exciting at the same moment. For the first time ,in a long time, there are no clear directions or goals to achieve and will discover it as the new year rolls along. I'm sad and hopeful at the same time that this experience is coming to an end as I'm quite excited to see what the future brings.

I'm just crossing my fingers that 2010 will continue to be as good to me as 2008 and 2009 have been to me.

To the many friends that I have met here in London, you all will forever have a special place in my heart. I will never forget you all, and will treasure the laughters we all shared. I thank you for sharing a year of your life with me.

To Joie, honey, it's time to take a new journey and move on, and I feel safe, because I know you will be there with me to share this new adventure of the future.

So 2010!!!! Bring it on!!! Let's rock!!!!

2009, thank you for the memories, I'm going to miss you!!! It's been a great ride, it's been a great year!

Working hard...

Haven't been blogging for a long while, been busy I guess. Doing research, and now hot in the middle of doing my final project. The year is certainly coming to an end, and it's the end now, that I appreciate London a little bit more. Maybe I'm more used to it now, or it has kinda grown on me. Oh well... Will try to enjoy every minute of it!

MBP diagnoses.

Well they say it's rare, but the screen on mbp just had a little malfunction and they are going to replace the whole screen for me. Glad it's not going to cost me anything, but the wait is 7-14 days... Hope I get it back soon!

Sad day tomorrow.

It will be sad day tomorrow, as I will be handing in my Macbook Pro in for repairs. The screen is not functioning properly. Going to miss it... Oh well... No computer for 1 week is ok I guess... Just glad it's still under warranty, which reminds me when I get it back I have to extend the warranty.

Jo is having fun on the other hand. Working in her placement for GQ magazine here in London. Hope she has another great week coming up!

As for me, just reading and starting my project formulating different possiblities I can do with my final project. Coming to think about it, it's 3 months until now. Oh... seems like a long time, but not really. Have to get a move on!

theme switch

There were little problems with the theme I was using couldn't add any new gadgets with the old one, strange. Anyway... Switched to this theme... I kinda like it, I like minimal themes, hope you all like it.
