EASY RIDE

Alrighty, I changed the banner to welcome a new year. I don't know where to begin, so I'll just keep it short and sweet, straight to the point. I started off this year with lots I wanted to accomplish, and I did some and of course still in progress. The process is just as important as the result. As long as we are still alive here, on Earth, we should make it a life worth living, yeah? Live to Tell. Live a life full of wonderful stories, so you can tell about it...

The highlights of this year for me would be: Going to New York in for a listening event for Utada's new album / Started my Junior year in college / Went to San Francisco for summer vacation, took many beautiful photos / attended Beyonce's amazing concert!! / Exercising regularly / Finally wrote my resume and finished my official website for now / Passed all my classes this semester / Grew as an artist...

I can't stress it enough, you must always love yourself first! The reason why I use myself a lot in my work is not because I'm narcissistic or arrogant... it's because when I use myself as part of the medium, I'm forced to face my own self, my fears, my flaws... accept it, be OK with it... and in return, I can understand myself a little more.

Remember, it doesn't have to be New Years, or Christmas for you to celebrate. Everyday is a celebration, and you should always care and show your love all year round.

Cheers to a fresh start!








Here I leave you with this great track called Easy Ride
from one of my favorite Madonna albums "American Life"...

I want the good life
But I don't want an easy ride
What I want is to work for it
Feel the blood and sweat on my fingertips
That's what I want for me

I want to know everything
Maybe someday I will
What I want is to find my place
Breathe the air and feel the sun
on my children's face
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground, I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home

I want to let go of all disappointment
That's waiting for me
What I want is to live forever
Not defined by time and space
It's a lonely trace
That's what I want

I go round and round just like a circle
I can see a clearer picture
When I touch the ground, I come full circle
To my place and I am home
I am home...
