This morning I came to school with no particular purpose in mind. My last dress had been a disaster. The toile came out so ugly I did not have passion to continue, even my classmate asked me to give it up. But then I walked in the classroom, looked at the sorry thing again, and in 5 minutes i drew Mark an altered version that boht of us are happy about. With his suggestion I am actually quite satisfied with the design.
Then I spent the rest of the day making the toile. By the time I finished and wanted to tried it on the manequin, there was none available. I looked around and saw there was only May’s manequin that had half of the top hanging on. I thot, lets put my dress over her top. It’s fine. Then magic happened–the part that was not covered by my dress connected my dress so well it looked like a very carefully-thot design! Then another ingredient came: Jack walked by and just made an innocent comment:”if only you can have this part on the top but without any strap in the back…as if magic hanged this part…” I thot for a second and said:”why not, I can use thin transparent elastic fishing thread!”
And then, my favorite design was born. 
I have been too well-fed lately. Lunch was always in some restaurant with classmates, dinner was always cooked by Gordo. I am seriously putting on weight…

Was supposed to hand in the designs to Kim today, but the bed was so good in the morning and I stayed 15 minutes more+monday traffic+all I count on is the taxi which never came in time=late for Kim.
When I got to the buliding he called me and said he already left office and would be back in an hour and a half. I handed my sketches to his designer in the office and headed back to school.
Monday morning traffic is so annoying. The meter kept running and it seemed I was never gonna get anywhere.
It must have been a busy day for Kim. He’s got Australian customers coming today, and New York customers tomorrow, so only in the afternoon he called me and said he was gonna look over the designs and let me know what he wants to make samples of.
That’s great! Kim seems so clean-cut in business. It makes it look like everything is easy to do, everything is possible. Guess it’s true when one has the big money…
Lunch was vietnamese food with Marge and May. Everybody said that restaurant is good until I tried. Nothing so fantastic. It was all too sweet for my taste.
Still passed out in Mark’s fashion communication class in the afternoon.
Came home a few minutes before the big storm came.
P.S, after the weekend’s frenzy over chilly pepper that Mary gave me, now my face is covered with huge red pimples. They hurt.and back to being the gal with ugly skin.

This morning I went to an interview for a possible internship. I have not finished the portfolio and did not make an Cv, but I’ve printed some pics of my school work with me.
Turn out that Mr. Kim(owner of the company) likes the one with leopard print most.(it’s the one that i spent 2 hours only and it was ment for myself, but found it too old for me later) He said that one would fit in the profile of the company and would have market. Along with it there are 2 or 3 other looks that he thinks may sell. In another words, the ones picked out are the simplest in design. They are doing lots of printed dresses(which is good for me) but with less details. And the printed fabric they use looks more mature, less frivolous. As I see it the age bracket of the customers are 28-40 fashion forward women. But they are no Mango or Morgan(which if I could design for, would be just sooooooooooooooo great! dreams…)
We have talked and decided roughlhy how this intership is gonna work. I would try to find prints and come up with designs that go with the taste of their different customers. They could use the designs if they like, can could dump them too.
It sounds fine for me–there stuff is not too young, not too crazy, but not too conservative and not too aged either. It’ll be a good chance for me to learn to adjust my own taste to the market. After all, how many people can have their own brand? How many people can stick to their own designs(even if it means f**k the market) and still make money? I’m willing to try.
Hope I have good luck.

Today skipped Mark’s fashion communication class again. I am hardly there after mid-term. If I find something else more meaningful to do I would run away, cause no offense, Mark, I love ur mini-collection class, but when it comes to “blah-blah-blah” class, ur just so hipnotizing to me. And eating snack don’t help much… 
So instead I went to fabric market to buy the beading that the stitcher said was not enuff, and try to find fabric for dress7.(last one)
The beading was mucho dificil to find. My God, for someone as geographically-challenged as me, how tough it was to find this rare thing in a maze this big! I am sure some streets I had walked thru many times, and some streets I had not covered at all. But I kept walking and asking and finally some less lazy guy opened his mouth and pointed me to a store at a corner.
Not sure what size I had before, so I bought 2 sizes. Upon arrival at home I found out neither is right.
choosing fabric took a short while. At this phase I hate what I have designed, and am very disgusted at floral print. So I quickly grabbed a sample of some less busy fabric and left. It is not a solid color, but it’s much calmer compared to the rest of my fabric.
And this is my day today, apart from this I made a call that I was supposed to make last week, continue to worried about brother’s problem. (His tutor is nasty SOB).
Found out in Clifford there is fruit delivery and ordered a black beauty, a kilo of banana and half a kilo of Lychee.

Woke up feeling tired, so I did everything very slowly. On the way to catching the clifford bus i had to slow down my pace too, because i was also having an apple– I won’t be able to catch up with my breath if i walked as fast as ususal.
Sigh, I am so out of shape. Kept telling myself it’s time to exercise but never did anything. Everybody is doing exercise one way or another. Most I know is yoga and gym.
My problem is I don’t believe anything fantastic in Yoga, and I find gym super boring.
Early last year Gordo bought me a bicycle, because I agree that after 25, a woman should deliberately do somthing to keep up the appearance. The bicycle was meant for me to go to the beauty salon. In this way I get to improve my skin and the body gets some exercise.
But what happened is that my bicycle is abandoned and now rusted.The lady in the beauty salon gave up after calling me so many times.
Taking a long walk is not bad, but summer is too hot, winter is too cold. What should I do??
P.S. Last night watched a movie called “Premonition” by Sandra Bullock and that Nip tuk guy–whatshisname? That is one messy movie and it leaves you feeling depressed.Nip tuck guy plays a husband that is so unresponsive it’s suffocating. Even in the end the guy supposedly love his wife back it does not make you feel good. You still get this detached feeling, I don;t know its the movie or he is just a bad actor.
I hope tonight we can have some good movie.
