i havent blogged in awhile and am overwhelmed some of you want an update!! i dunt believe in resolutions. but have set a few goals for myself. so heres what i've been up to so far and plan on doing in 2008:
i made it to London and stayed for a couple of weeks in february. my trip was mostly spent wandering the streets alone and skating spots chosen at random by simply klosing my eyes & pointing on a city street map. this has to be the krappiest vakation ever. okay i lied. my trip to Krabi was shittier. though i admit, the best part about my trip is buying my very first blueprint deck. the graphix are shit. but i love the way it 'pops.' i'm a blueprint konvert. word.
i signed up for a beginners klass at alliance française 2 month ago. deluxM & i have always wanted to learn French. she reckons its the 'official language' of romance, love & all that malarkey. yes. women swoon at the thought of being wooed by a Frenchman rah rah rah. i believe French is the language of revolutionary thoughts & ideas. linguists of social konsciousness!! some of my favorite philosophers are French. so i'll probably be arguing!! with a local at a sidewalk cafe insted of sharing love sonnets. haha!! ah well.
yeah religious stuff. i received my "sacrament of konfirmation" during the easter celebrations at st.benedicts & re-used my baptism name "macaille of eire" for this momentus occasion. macaille is pronounced [mah-sehl-lah] or [mah-kay-lah]. the ceremony was a tear jerker!! a few parishioners approached me after mass to tell me how beautiful they thought it was. gosh. spirituality is exhauting hey?! i've got fotos stashed sumwhere. let me find them & post them up soon.
i'm officially off 'zoloft.' being on anti-depressants is not sumthing i'm proud of (especially been straight edge). but when you're inches away from throwing yourself off the 24th floor of an Ang Mo Kio HDB flat, i made an exception. its funny meeting people on the evil isle who go on & on about their miniscule problems. obviously stuff i kud never understand becos i have "everything"!! of kourse its the ones you least expect who end up dead on a sidewalk. i havent been suicidal in months though i do feel melancholic now & again.
my parents and i took a short vakation to Bali before i left for London. i've been acting really weird the past kouple of years. its not me. its the depression. and i needed them to understand that. obviously!! it was easier getting things off my chest whilst watching sunsets & sipping sosro by a white sandy beach in Bali. *sigh* paradise on earth. papabear & i havent konnected like this in ages!! this was much needed. i do wish we had more time though.
(6) build a website for guerrrilla skate co™
as most of you know, i've started a humble skate kompany from skratch. it seemed everyone was mad keen on being part of the guerrila skate family during its infancy. sumhow we all got distracted with grrlfrens & work kommitments. so here i am left all alone trying to run things. i am afraid this will fail which explains why i havent launched my first series of decks. taking small steps might be good for a start. maybe building a website first is the best thing to do right now.
(7)lose weight
i've put on 5 kilos the past few months. no. this isnt a vanity thing. i'm worried about my health. i skate on the weekends & try to do yoga twice or 3 times a week. there shudnt be any reason why i am putting on all this weight. maybe its the side effects of going off the anti-depressants. i dunno. all i do know issat i need to shed sum pounds to fit back into my klothes. i kant wear anything in my kloset!!
(8)big move to Hong Kong
i will be living in Hong Kong for 6 months but it hasnt happened yet. i'm not gonna jinx it with details. nuff said. haHahaHahah!!
