Kitty ♥

I know I can't resist my addiction on Sanrio characters specifically Hello Kitty. I've been collecting Hello Kitty stuffs since forever. I literally scream whenever I go to Sanrio Gift Gate near my house. Though it's just stationary, which one of the affordable ones in Sanrio Gift Gate or every Sanrio stores, I will sleep with no nightmares. The amount of my collections is undetectable. I might have 2 Hello Kitty earphones (I couldn't resist myself from choosing over one with the colour soft pink or one with Kitty head in turquoise colour, so I just bought them all); I have 3 fileholders which one of them is Sanrio's 50th anniversary; 3 pouches of Hello Kitty, My Melody, and Purin; and I also collect special packages of candies or cookies.

One object I haven't had on Hello Kitty products is a camera. I failed to buy that blue Hello Kitty fisheye back then. And lomography keeps on creating new Hello Kitty products, but I dislike its design on Diana. Fujifilm is the other options. Instax has been a popular muse over years, and still, I dislike the designs though deep inside I'll be screaming like "GET ME ONE OF THOSE IN INSTANCE!". So, yes, I waited. Then one my favourite designers, Superheadz, release its Hello Kitty product, Hello Kitty Golden Half, and it's limited edition. Yet I still didn't like the design. I like Hello Kitty but the head is what interest my eyes the most. Unlike the fisheye I deeply wanted. It has a big Hello Kitty head on the back and even more, the colour is blue, so unnatural for Hello Kitty stuffs. I'm still looking around for that camera, though, hoping one day I will have it on my hand.

So, years of wait, I found this pretty cheap Fujifilm Instax Wide Hello Kitty. It said that it only 1,000 cameras are available over Japan. I bought this one from a friend whose aunt lives in Japan, and so, I got a cheap one. Practically I just can't sit still when it arrived today. I stared it constantly. Unfortunately, I haven't bought the films so I can't use it. But I feel fine, somehow. I wanted an instax wide since high school and when I finally buy one, it's Hello Kitty!

Intriguing

For some reason, my mind is so fucked right now, and yet I don't know why I feel weird about this. A lot of things burdens me, or should I say, college burdens me. I know it doesn't sound right, but I just want to skip this part of my life. And to skip this part needs another problem, can I pass this college without being dropped out? I'm not asking, but I have lost my confidence of passing through. Yesterday I browsed job vacancies in Tate Modern and Tate Britain. They had this job of being a curator's assistant and I'm thrilled to read that. Always wanted to be a curator, but I don't have any experiences. It's nice to know that you work for what you like, museum. And this makes me want to stay away from college and just enroll for this vacancy. Not to mention, it's the first fucked up.

The second, I just made an account on deviant art, and.... rather than makes me feel excited, it only makes me feel down. I'm depressed not being able to do what I really can do. I've been taking notes on ideas of sketches, illustrations, paintings, or even just some random doodles. This deviant art account makes me feel that I should have stayed productive for the past few years, but I haven't so I have nothing to be uploaded. Fuck.

One place I can runaway is this journalism class. I love writing and it makes me happy to be put in a class full of people with the same passion. I just started my spaceinks project few days ago. I feel relieved. At least I made its twitter and its (under-construction) blog before I forgot to make my project comes to life, if it turns out that one day I may abandon this project, I have nothing to loose. Currently I'm working on its blog (artworks, logos, etc.), but I'm having a trouble on separating this work from college. I should put college as the first priority because my parents would want my degree and that's probably the only thing they will be proud of. They don't believe I can do stuffs like this. They don't even know I can dance and they always say that artist is just a job for lunatic people, and they think I'm not lunatic enough to do that. I don't hate them, I just don't know how to gain trust from them. And it's the third fuck.

Besides all of these things, I have few happy news this year. I'm going to sell my fuji instax mini and get fuji instax wide hello kitty edition. I literally always scream when I see this cute white thing. Also, I'm going back home to London this June. It's always nice to be home on summer, and it must be full of 2012 Olympiad's ornaments, already sounds crowded (I believe it'll be more crowded than it was when World Cup back in 2010). I'm interested to attend The Queen's birthday again, because there's the new royal family, Kate Middleton! I love London in summer, the people are hectic and the crowds are crazy. I love being home. It's the only thing that can make me survive these four months.
