when my camera was once broken and chị Bông.

Around April/May 2012. London. Bông's old room. On the way to do our Outdoor project (with Ana and Caroline).

Photos taken for a project but might not be used anymore, so all ended up here.

project no.2, it was fun and cool but not for one. whatever, i'm not gonna fuck with those not like-minded!

Firstly, a big thank to you guys who did modelling for my project. I wouldn't make it in just 1 night w/o your help, so yea, thanks again and again! ♥

I won't say this is my best cause the process of making this (included coming up with the idea) took me not yet 1 day! Nah, it's not that I was lazy. I was working freaking hard over the last weekend and almost finished my final pieces. Then after the talk with Oz on Mon, I realized its problem, so I had to 'rethink' and tried to make something out of nothing. But I guess I won. I won myself.

So, this project is an Anti-Fastfood Campaign's ad. It's supposed to be big posters hanged at the bus stop or some public places like that. Obviously, the person who's gonna pay for it to be shown is some kind of Heathy Food Organization.

The whole idea is about let's eat slowly, live slowly and enjoy your life.

Well, I mean, keep your mouth shut, breath fresh air, watch flying clouds and listen to the wind. Yea, basically, be slow and don't fuck with those who like to be fast.

oh haven't you heard of Bold Fruities? we're just effing cool and if you don't know us, it's just such a shame!

For me, it's like the first real project in this class. I've been feeling kinda free (thank Oz for his supportive mind) while working with the brief. 

...

Basically, this ad I made is for eveyone of us. Everyone is different/unique and so we all have problems at the same time. Some look like they're perfect but they're sure not. Some look alike but they're so different. Some are just like any of us but aren't being treated right.

But, so what? We just have to ignore the world, stay still for who we really are, live up to our dreams and BE BOLD.

And I love the process as well. All of my thoughts and how they've been changing a lot and cutting the fruit, setting the light and yes, writing (mini) poems!

That was fun really.

hey Nut Closet, congrats and g'luck!

A clothing shop called Nut Closet has got opened today by my lovely Jen. Logo - proudly made by me. Quite a place to get by. Cute stuffs to check out. And of course, lovely owner(s) too. Congrats and g'luck, friend!

Ok, not gonna sleep early tonight. Plan to write some before off to bed. Not really sure why but I don't feel like writing in the morning. So yea, gonna write some nonsense stuffs, I guess.

missing late 90s' music but who doesn't know we can't rewind the time...anw love is sure still amazing as in the late 90s

Well, I'm talking about music. Music in the late 90s! They were awesome. Especially love songs and yea I'm gonna have to say, they were much more positive in that period of time. I want Boyzone, Westlife, FIVE, BSB, NSYNC, Celine Dion and more and more. Now, I hear everything related to big personality and selfish individual and if not, it ought to be broken heart and kinda things. That's sick argg. Anyway, listening to every song of the golden time that I still can remember their names. Right now? Until the time is through by FIVE wooh woot! Ok it should be one of the most corny songs ever. I really mean it. But so what? Love is corny or it should actually be, like seriously.

Just came back home after watching Rango and having pasta plus pizza as dinner with a friend. The film was good really. I rarely watch cartoon or should I say, I tend to avoid kiddie movies. But tickets of Hello ghost were all sold down so I had no choice. Rango was the only thing left that sounds a little bit funny. I don't think I have enough, well, both time (I actually mean patience lol) and words to talk about it, but here is a few quotes from the movie that I kinda love and seem to teach me a bit more bout life:

No man can walk out on his story

We see what we need to see

You can't find what's not out there

I'm not even sure if I state these quotes right, so yea, I'm just saying I quite like the movie.

This performance of her is so good! From the start to the very end, I just love her. Love her vocal, her smile, her action, her fans and her every single thing that she showed me on that stage. Oh if I could ever in Memphis that day...um, that would definitely be the awesome-st day of my life. 

Oh and I've got cool stuffs from Tumblr. They really take me into a journey with the Explore button! How cool it is!! 

another just-for-fun-project. wanna be a graphic designer and many kinds of stores' owner!

POSTCARD - FRONT

POSTCARD - BACK

My dream is to do something pretty, lovely and cool. Maybe it's just my little dream at the moment. But I know I've always wanted to own something myself. I did, obviously but now I want something bigger and better. I might just finish my BA degree in graphic design then travel and volunteer and try some placements, then go back to Vietnam and operate my own stores. Not sure yet, but the first one should definitely be a coffee shop cause that would be an ideal place where I can decorate, create and imagine. And yeah you don't know how much I adore all the most amazing and lovely coffee shops in this world. So it's not hard to understand how great I want to create my own ones. That would be awesome and lovely. Doesn't it sound so sweet and dreamy? It might be the life I want to have, to join and live in forever. Nothing too big but enough to make me smile and enjoy my every single day in this life. Wouldn't it be much more greater? God bless us all. 

got a chit chat with beloved Eileen. and seriously missing Melbourne and everything there like crazy...

Just a gift to my dear Eileen. Oh how can I ever tell how great I'm missing the last night in Melbourne. It was one of the best nights I'd ever have while staying in Melbourne. 

Photos taken by me with a borrowed Nikon 90D + lens 50mm F1.4. Model: Eileen. October 2010.

when you think you've known everything bout a person, sorry you know shit about me

If you ever look at just one photo I've taken

If you ever see just one graphic work I've done

If you ever read just one story I've written

If you ever listen to any poems I've typed

But you've never. never. ever. done this for me.

I know when I do something good, it's my responsibility to be good

I'm not asking for compliments,

but at least I wish you would ever know me better, just a little bit better,

dad and mum

...

Many things to say but hey I just can't make them into words

in front of you guys

Once my lips start the conversation,

my eyes are full of tears already

What can I do now?

Tell me,

when will we know each other just a little bit better?

just a little bit,

dad and mum?

...

belonging and any other shit!..

Just another slogan/statement from and for myself. Sitting inside my room without any natural lighting, feeling a bit gloomy and shitty. Anyway, getting better soon. All the application things and troublesome craziness will get better, eventually. Just thinking I'm gonna get my own a blog. Well, I mean, real blog, with words and photos and whatever I might be able to produce next. Who knows? Some illustrations? Personal style or what? Eff, whatever. We're so done of talking about plans and future, but again who doesn't do day-dreaming? Luv luv. Plenty of fun comin' up!
