Saturday mornings,

I had a new student today, she came in with sweet plaided hair and an oversized blue bag that seemed to weigh down on her shoulders. Elle est petit they would say in French, she was tiny but boy was her enthusiasm immense! It reminds me on how we all used to be, and how things around started to get smaller as we grew up that now everything fits into our head. Or perhaps everything seemed larger because there were so many things rioting for our attention. Paradoxically, the more we see of the world, the more vast we perceive it to be - which is pretty overwhelming because we still have so much more experiences to soak in. I'm also getting to know the other students better, it's like a Saturday morning routine without its mundane predictability (trust me it's anything but predictable) Even though I'm really the teacher, sometimes I learn so much more from these kids. And it doesn't even require a verbal connection.

Shop@Petalsandpedals,

Just to let you all get a glimpse on what I've been working on (and off haha) and may be rolling out, amen to no procrastination. Just a humble venture, yet significant to call my very own. It's still in the early preliminary stages of conceptualization, the nook and corners of tech-savvy wonders aren't the easiest of all to grasp but I'm definitely learning step by step, fumbling around at times. (SOS to my techie friends teehee) And of course also finding time to draw out designs and going behind the camera lens, as seen above because I really take delight in hand drawn images - it gives that homely personal feel that a clinical typeface can never offer. Please lend some love and support if I manage to roll this out ♥ 

Snippets of life II,

Summer has been really kind to me thus far and I'm really thankful, in fact it's probably one of the best college summers I've had in a long while ♥ Filled with so much love, family and friends!  I really felt like I had a terribly refreshing break, a sojourn in laid back fashion (or you could say a respite before school starts) In the midst of which, I've also completed a 10 week internship stint, and met amazingly talented individuals whom I've enjoyed talking to and learning so much from - definitely keeping in touch with all of them :) So here's a photograph log of the later part of my summer, mostly taken from my mobile phone camera. Enjoy, ciao!
