Here's my stamp collection. It's slowly growing and I'm proud of every stamp that I've received.

( Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else. )

I'm so sorry I haven't updated in forever. The past few days I've just been leaving this page open and not submitting anything. 

My holidays are coming to an end soon sadly! It's amazing how two weeks fly by so fast. They weren't very productive too and the worst part of it is that I still have assignments left to complete. It really infuriates me why teachers/lecturers give homework during holidays. I mean, isn't our holidays meant for us to take a break from school? Having said that, it's a bit childish for me to rant about stuff like this that happens everywhere. After all, there must be a reason why teachers insist on giving homework. 

Every holiday, I start off with a list of things I want to get done. I'm determined to make the best of the holidays. Nearing the end of the holidays, I realize the list isn't even half done yet. During this two weeks, I wanted to catch up on stamping and also revamp my livejournal - change my userpics, layout, profile etc. The only thing I got done was stamping.

On a more positive note, I interviewed a lady who worked at the National Museum with a friend of mine a few days ago. She spoke about how it's important to have passion and heart, that your job shouldn't just be your job, it should be something you enjoy doing. There are so many people out there who are bringing in big bucks but often do so complaining and whining. I don't think that's nice at all. She also said about ways of getting into the arts industry etc. It really makes me think about my future. I spend a lot of yesterday daydreaming about what it'd be like to live in NYC, photograph every of its quirks and beauty, and be a part of "something".

So tell me, how do you envision your future to be like? You can be as idealistic as you want! I'd love to get a piece of your mind! (not in a bad way - I mean why is it bad to get pieces of someone else's mind unless that someone else happens to be your enemy...)

P/S: I just realize how formal this entry sound haha! Sorry, I don't  mean to scare off anybody.

BENNY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

One of my friend's pet dog, Benny, has a tumor growing near his butt, and he'd need to undergo a surgery before things get worse. As a fellow dog owner, I know how precious a dog is to it's owner, and it hurts even more when Benny looks so much like my Silky Terrier, Bobby. So, please drop by the site, and donate if you can. From what I can most payment methods are available. I'd be making a donation tomorrow with my sister, schmaltzyyy since we'd need our mum's visa card in order to make one.

I'm not forcing anyone to make a donation but if you do have spare change and am willing to help, please do help! Here's some information about Benny from my friend's site.

"Benny is my Yorkshire Terrier of 14 years-old, but still as active as a puppy, as some of you would know. He has always been healthy and still is, except for the tumor that started growing on his bum area recently. This has made it very difficult for him to defecate and it has been growing since and the skin around the area is thinning and might tear due to the growth. His tail has also shifted due to the size of the tumor. Therefore, he needs to get it removed by surgery as soon as possible.

Despite all the pain that he is feeling, he never fails to amuse us and make our day. He has always been on our side, as a family member, as a best friend.

I would need some help raising $2000 for his surgery. I'm reaching out to all of you, in hope to raise enough money to help benny. All your donations are for his surgery only and this tumor will not stop growing until it is removed. "

It breaks my heart to see Benny like this. Also, I'd appreciate it a lot if you guys would pass the site on. Thank you so much for reading!

Please help out!

schmaltzyyy and I just created a stamping community dedicated to the 20th Century Fox movie, Anastasia. Do join and take a look! We look forward to seeing you there. ♥

So, recently I've been maintaining/moderating a lot of communities (actually four) - and I'd love it if you dropped by and joined it if you're interested in it. Please please take a look!

( +4 )

I actually collected some in my old PC before it crashed and after coming across one, I feel like collecting them again. This time, instead of saving them to my PC, I'd just paste them all here! Also, I've decided to put the icons of the fanlistings that I've joined.
( Sakura, thank you. )
