Daring to be different is hard. Daring to be ordinary is simple. Daring to just be yourself is daring to not do anything at all. Don’t worry about what others think of you and how you want them to see you, just worry about yourself and how you view you. I’ve come to terms with some of these things but these bad habits are so hard to break.
Daisy Choi has been my closest friend since grade 6, and which we’re in grade 12 right now! 2005-2011. WOOT 2011 GRADS! <3 Anyways…Daisy Poo Choi is probably the most trustworthy and strong hearted person I have ever met. She’s been through a lot, and through her first 3? years of high school…I’m positive she was a trouble maker for the 3 years…but yes she had the bad teeny bopper and has now grown to be such a smart..nerdy… person who is so…sometimes….unprocrastinative is ridiculous. She’s an amazing person, and yet really annoying. That girl can use her phone to dial my number like no other. She’s positive in her own way and deffinately shows it, even when I’m looking for a different type of positive energy, she’s still there for me. Daisy doesn’t tend to give up, she’s very strong willing and it’s inspiring, she doesn’t like people stomp all over her, and most of the time she makes a strong argument. I feel that she’s someone to look up to, and she’s a great person to have in my life, and she attempts…because I’m lazy….to keep my grades up by constantly annoying me with english but it’s with the best intentions, everything she does..mostly…sometimes…is with her best intentions. She’s a caring person when it comes to friends, and she’s always had my back. I remember when she moved to vancouver I was so sad, we talked a lot, and then we just randomly stopped talking… it was pretty shitty after being friends for so long, and it all just went away, until she messaged me. We started talking AALLLL the time, and asked me to come over, which I had no money of course, so I had borrowed it from my little brother just so I could. I was honestly there for the entire summer, I never left, and I’d always ferrie over on weekends just to hangout, we were inceprable. We’ve been that way for so long, we’d get in fights, ignore each other, and then randomly start talking again, like nothing every happened. She moved away to Korea for 2 months too….I was so sad! My best friend left me, and same with our other friend. I was so bored >=( I had no one to steal kittens with. AH YES. We stole a kitten, me her and Kyra… We names her Nang..well me and Kyra did… Daisy wanted to call her dopey… wtf… who names a girl kitten dopey? You like dope girl? Cause at the time it appeared like it was on chuurrr minndd gurl! =P We’ve done so much together, everytime I’m with her we always walk like I swear 15 miles in a day. I promise. Just going back and forth, to the mall, to her house, to the school, to sev, to my house, to the pool, to her house, to my house…to mount doug beach. We are crazy walkers when we’re together. I remember when her and Kyra sat up the entire night talking and trying to convince me to sneak out for the first time, ahahah, I fell asleep after like 3 mintues…and they didn’t even notice, they had kept talking for an hour…and then I woke up with a “whhaatt?” on my face, and then caved in because they wouldn’t shut the hell up, and then they pretended to be like rocks, hiding from cars. AHAHAHAAHHAAH. TOOLS. <3. Daisy is a goof, she’s not always a goof, if anything she’s more serious now that she moved to vancouver. She changed but we didn’t. We stayed strong and havn’t stopped being the closest friends that we are through everything that we’ve been through. And we’ve seen every shrek movie together except for the 1st one.. and completed my finding nemo game on my ps3..except she was the one who really did it cause I sucked ass at it. When we’re together it’s honestly like twins, and apparently when I’m with her I make her fart…. she’s definitely not smart when shes around me when she’s saying nonsense like that…crazy psycho.. =) Anyways, honestly, I could write so much more about stinky butt but that would make my fingers all sore from typing. But overall Daisy has been my best friend since, well… ever, I practically grew up with her, before grade 6 you’re not doin much growin except from learning about boys.. Daisy is a sister to me and I hope we’ll never change cause that’d be hard to find again, someone you trust to talk to and be normal with…and say silly things like “you make me fart”.
In all honesty… It’s both. Who out there doesn’t follow someones look? See’s their top and wants to buy it? Well I do. I follow trends, but I like to do it my own way, I want to be and, and dress the way I want to dress. It doesn’t matter what season it is, I’ll wear whatever colour I want and drink whatever coffee I want. If I want a warm drink on a hot summery day, I will, if I want to wear jeans on a hot summery day I will. It doesn’t completely matter what the trends are to me, but if the trends that are out are my style, I’ll definitely go for it. If somethings old, okay, I wont wear it anymore, but there will be those times when I will because I just want to, and that’s okay. To be original you need to be yourself, you create originality, you are original, and it’s okay to be, don’t follow other people because you have to or want to fit in. Wear, eat, drink, look, talk they way you want to, and if you want to, not just because it’s “in”. Trends are a fad, they are just there, there to help you out if you want it, and it’s what people are always wearing during this time, be different, and go wear something that hasn’t been worn for a while, and you’ll start the trend all over again. I like to wear what makes me feel good, and what I like, and I’m a plain Jane when it comes to my coffee because all I get is my caramel macchiato. =) Yumm!
So, really, I’m a trendy person, I like to wear what’s in, but I like to do it my way. I like to be different, and look good. I’m just me, and that’s all, and I’m gonna be who I wanna be.
So, I’ve been drawing designs for a while, but I’ve never actually drawn to make it look great, I drew it because I had an idea, or because it’s what I want to wear, and what I want to feel good in. I do like to design, I have a passion for it, it’s not for the fame, but for me, it’s for the fun of it. I enjoy it. I’ve got some designs that I actually tried to draw. And here they are!
Isn’t it funny how once you come to the nearing of the end of your high school years and college and university hits you right in the face? And you seriously need to catch up? Shit, I hate it, it’s so frustrating and confusing and nerve racking! Just trying to get into a school that’s got to count, that’s going to push your life forward and hope that gets you through. It’s expensive, it’s stupid how the government pushes kids to go to school and when they do and are ready for college and or university, it’s EXPENSIVE.. well that’s gonna do some damage my friend, and thank god I’m half native… or I’d have no further education after I graduate in 5 months, unless I got a scholarship, which isn’t likely that id get a scholar for fashion. FIDM is my dream school, I’d die if I don’t get accepted… I’m crossing my fingers till the day I hand in my application.. and till the day they contact me.. AH. Life is a large wonderful playground where you pick and the weak and stick your ground till you reach graduation, and you’re 18 and have to loose those habits and mature.. hopefully by then you have matured… and gain perspective and get on your own two feet instead of the friends you’ve hurt and your parents who spend their money on you and get onto college and or university, and make a living for yourself.
FIDM. My Life. My Future.
I’m grading this year, I’ve got 5 months left of school and boy is it stressful. FIDM, if none of you know, is in California, there’s 3 campuses.. Downtown LA, Orange County, and San Diego. You could not believe how bad I want to go there, it’s an amazing school, but so expensive, but so amazing! I’m sure it’s what would start of my fashion career, but sadly, I’m not sure on what major I want to go for, there’s 4 that I like, which is bad, but they all suite me, they all contain what I’m wanting to fulfill.. It’s a difficult choice! What can I say. Hopefully soon, I can get some nice proper sketches going and apply!
