Noodoll

Tuesday, January 30th, 2007

Today as i do my weekly routine (walking around Urban Outfitter during my lunch break :P), I found a cool design book called Fashion Market 2. it caught my attention not only because its cute cover, but also because it’s by a Taiwanese girl :)

this designer Yiying, wrote two design books on London fashion markets, and created her own line– Noodoll. The line is pretty cute. the main character, Noodoll, is a male porn star in noodle town… yes u didn’t hear me wrong… porn star XD (see all other noodle town characters here: http://www.noodoll.com/index2.html).

I am always super excited to see Taiwanese artists/designers getting international exposure (I suppose having a book on Urban Outfitter’s shelves is one of the best ways to gain recognition among young ppl, no? ^_^) good job! I really hope more & more Taiwanese designers can prove their talents to the rest and have a space in the design world :) go go go~~~

Can there be too many good news?

Friday, January 19th, 2007

It always scares me when several pleasant surprises all come at once… I feel like something bad might happen because I’ve used up too much luck =\

Today is a day full of surprises. Altho NONE of them are real plans yet, the news are enough to keep me on the edge.

First my mentor, who moved to LA one year ago, called me and wanted to discuss possible job opportunities in her company. I have to say if this was one year ago, I would be jumping up and down! Now that my plan changed, I don’t think this will effect me that much… but I still feel super grateful that she thought of me and gave me the opportunities.

And then, at work I took on a new project. Because this project involves video editing, the associate director is now lobbying for me to get me a more powerful desktop AND a new laptop! my computer is one of the best in the our office already– altho it’s 3 years old, it’s still a great G5 with a huge monitor… not to mention I have an extra MacBook to spare. and now a complete upgrade? that’s just.. chocolate-boobs-SWEET! I shouldn’t be excited this early tho… because who knows how long it’ll take for the decision to be made? it’s non-profit everything goes S-L-O-W here……


Last but not least, today is the decision release deadline for Anderson!!! I had been waiting for the whole week, checking my status like crazy. It wasn’t a good sign that I heard nothing from them till the very very last day (and the last few hours, too). But it’s GOOD NEWS  ^___^ man… such a relief… ain’t I lucky…. I don’t know how important this result is (in fact i do hope this is not so important after all), but it for sure is a confident-boost and takes some weight off my shoulder. It’s now a good time to thank all my friends’ help and support throughout the process~ i’m just beyond grateful to have all of you!!!

so yeah now i feel a bit scared… very happy but scared~ doesn’t it sound a bit too much for one day??? very odd…. >___<

- went to a movie: Pan’s Labyrinth (loved it!)
- watched an off-Bway play: An Oak Tree (confusing…)
- got down to Chinatown for pie-gu-fan & grocery shopping
- had a Sunday brunch at one of my favorite french toast place: Cafe Orlin
- helped out a music video shoot for RAIN (rain2u.com)
- got my grooves on at MANOR (haven’t partied for more than a month!)
- did my annual apartment cleaning (hey this is fun too!)
