A few months back I got an email from H&M asking if I wanted to participate in this Style Guide section where they pick a blogger each month to feature on their website, and this month, that blogger is me!!!! I'm featured all over their international sites too!!! It didn't hit me until I realized that my homemade red bag and my sketchbooks are there for everyone to see. All these years of not giving up, kept creating and expressing myself, I'm just happy they recognized my existence!
For me, if one of us make it, we all make it. If there is a spotlight on one of us, it's on all of us. The reason why I keep on doing this, blogging, dressing up, and creating is because I'm fighting that good fight everyday. I do it for us underdogs, I do it for the people who can't. I express myself to inspire others to express themselves too. We are young, we should be ambitious!

UPDATE - 8/10/10
oh my god!! my very good friend, Peter's latest blog entry is making me cry right now!!!! I'm incredibly honored to know him. Everything he said in that entry, I feel it, because I know it's genuine. Gosh. We were there for each other wayyyyy back then, and we STILL are. We were doing our thing even back when Xanga and Asian Avenue was hot for a quick minute, when blogging was not as popular as it is now! (click to view)
