bound for

The Land Of The Long White Cloud.

I'm officially a graduate with a Design Degree. Oh yes. And now, it's time to take some time-out across the Tasman Sea.

Janelle, Jess & windy Wellington are awaiting my arrival, momentarily.

Watch this space for updates on my impending adventure.

Grad-status.

Out.

Happy Saturday!

life, interrupted

A quote found here, full of significance that I have no doubt resonates with more than one of you reading this little blog.

When you are exasperated by interruptions, try to remember that their very
frequency may indicate the value of your life. Only people who are full
of help and strength are burdened by other persons' needs. The
interruptions which we chafe at are the credentials of our
indispensability. The greatest condemnation that anybody could incur -
and it is a danger to guard against - is to be so independent, so
unhelpful, that nobody ever interrupts us, and we are left comfortably alone.

Sometimes all you need is a little perspective, right?

in need

Life has been a little full on to say the least since the last semester ended. With long hours, burning the candle at both ends some times, throwing in an outing for sanity's sake here and there, I think I have come across a product that would suit my lifestyle just so. But perhaps I could have multiple... fashioned to different benches at work, at home, perhaps even the dashboard of the car.

Every designer must doodle.

only just otoño

While there's only a smidge of Autumn left in the Southern Hemisphere... I would have to say outfits like this, are perfect for days like these.

Si?

if and when

I once posted a song about 'where my love had gone', for you. Here on this little blog. Now, if I were to reach you... it would be to let you know that There is a warmth that has never burnt out. The absence saddens me, but I know that now is not my time. Tonight I heard a song that brought you back to me, to my thoughts. I confess however, of late you haven't been far away. And whether the feeling I feel is to be happy for you, to be you and happy with where you are, or dream of that day I will leave the ocean behind to plant my feet with you. It is a little foggy, but right now, I'm sailing and I'm not sure whether or not I'm drifting closer, or floating past the inlet... this resonated with me. And I believe it's for you.

I’ve been out on the ocean
Sailing alone, travelling nowhere
You’ve been running on hard ground
With just you around
Your heart beats the only sound

But I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And when it’s time, I’ll leave the ocean behind

So I’ll look out for a lighthouse
See through the fog, search the horizon
You’ll be like in a movie where everything stops
You can see clearly now

But I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine
And when it’s time, I’ll leave the ocean behind
I’ll leave the ocean behind

‘Cos I know once in a while we will find
The sound of your heart beats with mine

And someday the crash of the waves will be far away
And I will sail in your arms
‘Cos when it’s time I’ll leave the ocean behind

And so if this does reach you... I wonder, dream, in spite of dream, for whatever comes of this, if anything - to say that I wish you only every happiness.
