sunday

3pm. sundays are often about sleep when hugo and his brother are not here. 

i spent a whole weekend looking through websites on jewelry writing and copywriting, this job is actually quite cool. only in the creative industry can your random thoughts be put into use and earn you money. i love that idea, saw it from mike catherall's blog. he came to hong kong in 2007 to look for a permanent copywriting job, and ended up in Ogilvy, which is yet another amazing story. what is more fascinating is that after he spent a year in Ogilvy, he went back to Canada to spend a year on writing a book, he ended up publishing his first children book within the timeline he set for himself.

and then i look at myself. i thought i always sort of followed an invisible path, i never knew where i would end up, but the feeling was there to lead me through bricks and blocks. since i was 10 i dreamt of being a writer, and now i am one, at least it is printed on my business card, and i get paid for it every month. the great thing is that it is also about art, a passion that occurred to me when i had the first lecture of fine arts. i simply thought that art was great like a handsome boy, you looked at his bright smile and you felt immediately happy. it was a pleasure on its own. 

i am a jewelry writer, and i work for a jewelry master. it satisfies my passionate being and my big ego.

i have an opinion regarding what my friend's lawyer friend said about the communication of a long distance couple being limited to "updating" each other. if you only "update" each other, it is only because you are not creative enough. instead of "updating", i call that "sharing", and sometimes "surprising". it is difficult being apart, i crave him like hell. but in a way i also think that if you cannot survive the distance, you cannot survive many things that come with life later when you both grow older -- things that are larger than our physical presence, and those things take tougher hearts and a stronger connection to deal with.

in a way it is also about independence, being my own woman, cultivating my spiritual and physical self. 

i hope that he likes what is in the mail. :)
