THE BIZ ##:

1 - Who was the last person you texted? Eugene

2 - When is your birthday? In over a month

3 - Who do you want to be with right now? Who? More like WHERE. Anywhere but here

4 - What sports do you play? I don't play. But if it were to be anything, then ball

5 - Who is the first person in your contacts? I just checked my Contact list and it syncs with Facebook, so it says a girl named Demi

6 - What is your favorite song as of the moment? My ringtone, Acura Integurl

7 - If you were stranded on an island, who do you wish to be with? Any one of my bestfriends. Danica, Courtney, or Eugene

8 - What do you feel right now? Indifferent

9 - What chocolate is your favorite? White with almonds

10 - How many boyfriends/girlfriends did you have? I had one serious relationship, until recently I found out it was all bullshit

11 - Why did you create a Tumblr account? Because I was curious and young back then

12 - Who is your favorite blogger? Lust for Life

13 - Where do you want to be right now? Not in Sydney. I'd love to be in Melbourne, or somewhere frolicking in Europe, perhaps my dream place, Santorini, or at this age, maybe The States, New York, or Canada

14 - What do you want to be in the future? Of course, something in relation to the course I'm doing, Design. Perhaps an Art Director, or a designer in a firm. Something that progresses to different disciplines in the design industry. Where I can travel with and grow with the ever-changing processes of design. I also want to be (totally different aspiration) in Hotel Management. And I want to study Psychology

15 - When was the last time you cried? Why? I cried a few days ago when I turned on my old phone as it revealed new, sent, and received messages from people in the past

16 - Are you happy? I am content with most aspects in my life right now

17 - Who do you miss? 1. I miss the person who used to be the reason I stayed up in the early hours of the mornings. But I had to walk away. And I have to keep walking :(

2. I miss the person who gave me perspective in life in the way of living it to the fullest and not giving a fuck. I can't keep saying the things to make you want to be more. That's why I'm so distant from you. I apologise. But I don't want to get too close.

Most of all, I miss my grandfather. We never got the chance to travel, or 'pasyal' with you. You never got to meet Julian, or ate's boyfriend. When we visited your grave, I couldn't hold back the tears, reading your name, watching the candles blow in the wind, the smell of the sampaguita... I wanted to see you again, to hear your voice, to finally meet you at this age where I've got more knowledge than ever before. I miss you, lolo

18 - If you were given a chance, would you like to have a different life? I would love to experience the life of someone else, but if I were to have another chance, it would be to live my life again, from the start, re live every moment and have the opportunity to change things, to go back and have a choice, choose the right paths, the better paths..

19 - What was the best thing you were given? This is tricky. Perhaps it could be the offer to transfer to the uni I am at now, to experience a different standard in education, to that of a higher quality, a better and more intuitive study... It could be the morality of being able to walk away from the latter when things got so troublesome... It could be materialistic, my favourite dog, Ripley, from my ex boyfriend, or every single thing in my room that feels like a gift. But I think the best thing anyone can ever be given is opportunity. So many people take a lot of things for granted. Whether it be how easy things can be handed to them just because it's that easily accessible, or just because they think they can... It's very rare to meet someone who isn't just in it for the reward

20 - Who was the last person who called you? Eugene

21 - What is your favorite dish? Hmm, hard to tell. Favourite food? ..Macaroons

22 - Who is your bestfriend? Eugene, Danica, Courtney

23 - What is your biggest regret? I don't know. I used to regret a lot, but now I see that it happened because it was supposed to. But right now, maybe getting too close to certain people that aren't even in my life anymore

24 - Have you ever cheated on your partner? No

25 - Who do you spend crazy moments with? My bestfriends ^

26 - Name someone pretty. That I know? .. Name a girl

27 - Who was the last person you hugged? James

28 - What kind of music do you listen to? Anything but country, trance, hardstyle, screamo emo... Waaah

29 - Are you over your past? Yes

30 - Who is the last person in your contacts? ZigZag Cru

31 - What kind of person do you want to date? Someone who is genuine, loyal to his friends, respects his family, puts his family first, prioritizes his studies, has common sense, a smooth talker, and a sense of humour, a great sense of humour, with heaps of sarcasm. Someone who after keeping you out for a whole night, gets out of the car and apologizes to your parents and conversates with them just to let them know you were in safe hands. Someone who would travel the distance, stretch the minutes or the hours, just to spend time with you. Someone who would listen to your problems, and cheer you up. Someone who doesn't go crazy and emotional over the littlest shit, like if another guy was tryin to holla. TRUST your girl, bro. Someone who's got a good sense of style and smile is to die for, who's got confidence but doesn't have the EGOTISTICAL mind.. Yes, high standards. Checklist. But who doesn't have one?

32 - Do you have troubles sleeping at night? Sometimes

33 - From whom was the last text message you received? Aaron

34 - What do you prefer, jeans or skirt? Jeans

35 - How’s your heart? It's fragile, torn up a bit, but it's beating and strengthening up

36 - Did you ever have a girlfriend/boyfriend whose name starts with a “J”? Yes

37 - Do you like someone as of the moment? No

38 - What would you want to say to your latest ex-boyfriend/ex-girlfriend? Dear ex boyfriend, I'm glad you don't know my new number. I'm glad you've stopped trying to contact me. I'm glad we don't speak anymore. And yes, stop communicating with me from now on. There's no point. I was there for you because I knew it would help you. But to be honest, assisting you with your problems isn't my thing anymore. I found out about you. About the past, about the girls, about the messages, the phone calls. Our relationship was bullshit. I never thought of a reason to walk away from even just friendship from you, but hearing it from an initial source made me realize how fucked up you really were. I now know why you compare your current relationship with the one we had. I was good to you. I never, ever cheated on you. And no, don't bring up J as a good point, because that was no point. We were over by then. The fact that I found this out after 2 years of walking away from you is even better, it's an advantage to you... because who knows what I would've done if I had found this out a year ago? Do me a favour, Treat your girl right. Treat her like a fucking princess. Be good to her, good for her. Love her, with all your fucking heart. Don't you dare look at other girls. Don't you dare strike up a coversation just because an opportunity opens up. Be a fucking man and grow up this time. I was in love with a boy back then. We were young and naive. And no, I don't regret anything we ever did. I loved our relationship. But it got way too messed up. Adore and appreciate what you have now.

39 - Do you have any phobias? No, I don't. I think I'd just be scared of being the last person to see my bestfriend (or anyone else for that matter) alive

40 - Did you try to change for a person? I did. It was stupid. Don't ever convince yourself that you're not good enough for a person. That you should step up your game, because truth is, if you ever have to change for someone, that someone should only be for yourself! Be the change you want to see in the world

41 - What’s the nicest thing have you given to someone? I'm sort of a philanthropist. I never hesitate on giving to the needy, especially when they are right there begging for me. Even though I'm not wealthy myself, it's better to sacrifice your-material-self than to sacrifice someone elses' well being

42 - Would you go back to your previous relationship? IF you asked me this a month ago I would've said yes. But now, no. It's time to walk away and not look back, as much as I'd like to

43 - Are you in a good or bad mood? Neither

44 - Name someone you can’t live without. Eugene

45 - Describe your dream date. It would be in Santorini (of course), exploring and being so unaware of the language. Soaking up the sun, as well as the beautiful culture. It would be travelling places we both don't know and experiencing everything first go, at the same time

46 - Describe your dream wedding. I don't have a view of a dream wedding because I have never imagined my dream wedding. I don't know, but right now I see myself single for a very long time

47 - How many roses did you receive last Valentine’s? None, I was overseas

48 - Have you ever been kissed? Yeah

49 - How long is your longest relationship? Two and a half years

50 - Do you regret your past? Didn't you ask me this earlier?

51 - Can you do something stupid for someone else? To impress them, yes. Haha.

52 - Have you ever cried over someone? Plenty of times

53 - Do you have a grudge against anyone? Not right now

54 - Are you a crybaby? WAAHH. Nah, I cry, but not to the point of meltdown like I want to kill the world or no one cares and shit

55 - Do people praise you for your looks? I'm not that good looking

56 - Did you fall for someone you shouldn’t? Yes. It didn't end well, it just ended

57 - Have you ever done something bad but you don’t regret? Heaps of things. You only live once

58 - Do you like getting hurt? I used to get hurt a lot, emotionally, mentally, but not physically

59 - Does anyone hate you? Maybe

60 - Did you slap anyone whose name starts with an “R”? My name starts with an R! And no, I haven't

61 - What hair color do you prefer? Redish tinted

62 - If you can change anything about yourself, what is it? It would be my motivation status because I procrastinate too much and I lose interest easily

63 - Do you love someone as of the moment? I love my bestfriends

64 - Have you ever thought of killing yourself? Yes

65 - Do you have issues with somebody in your school? Probably

66 - Can you live without internet? I don't think I would be able to

67 - What’s the song that remind you of your special someone? I don't have a special someone! hahahaha awkwaaard ;)

74 - Did you ever had a kiss under the moonlight? Yep

75 - Have you ever ridden a boat? A BANANA BOAT!

76 - Did you have an accident last year? Not that I remember

77 - What kind of person are you? I will put you before myself, I always try to make others happy, and go out of my way to do it for you. I've learnt not to rely on anyone anymore because everyone eventually lets you down. I've got an eye for detail because I'm a design student, and I see everything from a different perspective from you, the better side. I'm super considerate which is sometimes a disadvantage and I am naive. There's too much to ramble on about but there's a few basics! Taa

78 - Have you ever thought of killing someone? No

79 - Have you ever been jealous? Yes

80 - How can you prove your love to someone? You prove your love in your own way. There's so set guidelines. To me, love happens. Unexpectedly, and in the best way. It's your worth to express in the way you want

81 - What are you thinking right now? I'm mind blank because I think I'm sleepy

100 - Did you ever feel like you’re not good enough? Yeah, it's not a great feeling. You start comparing yourself, and your self esteem just fucks up so much.

Happy Christmas! from, NMI.
Our tree at intern was awful to begin with! The branches were falling upwards instead of down, and the tree itself wouldn't stand up at all! Such a mission to build a REAL tree fresh from the soil and with sap coming out from the trunk. #wah! But hey, we got there! Found an empty black square bucket and filled it with bricks and a bit of water to help the poor old tree survive a bit longer.

Anyway, take a walk into an exclusive sneak preview of Beau Coops' studio at the 'House of Last'. Carrie is such an amazing and inspiring designer that I absolutely adore and look up to. It's such a privilege seeing and working with her during the days I come in to NMI. I fell in love with Beau Coops the second I saw them in the showroom. Each shoe so divine and carefully constructed, with intricate detailing and one-of-a-kind style. She is also creating a new line of shoes called "January 6", so you've got to look out for it soon! The collection is beyond brill! If you love Beau Coops, January 6 will knock you off your feet, for sure.
PS; Excuse my dodgy iPhone camera!
