In case you're wondering what I've been doing
I now have a day job as a Special Advisor at CityPoynt, and I sideline as a mermaid for Black Pearl Philippines. That means I’ll be dressed up in mermaid costume and I’ll be hanging out with my pirate crew at the Pirates of the Carribean 4 movie opening events ^__^ forrealz. SM North Edsa IMAX tomorrow. Araneta on Friday. Possibly Ayala Mall Tour on Sunday. See y’all!
Hi! :) I'm a new follower of yours. I just saw your "Poupée de cire, poupée de son" video. It was beautiful. ♥ You're amazing! Do you actually speak French?
Hello there sweet stranger! Thank you for your kind words ^_^ I don’t really speak French. Pretend only. Hehe. I listen to the original song and try to copy as close as I can. It’s a beautiful language! Oh and that singer (France Gall) also recorded that song in Japanese. So kyoot ❤

Hi,
I just watched your video about the chickens on the farm. It's cool and it has some great info. I'm not a member of youtube that's why I posted here. I hope you continue on with your video's. :D Besides that I only have one comment your tumblr site looks so serious because of the grey. I totally think you should 'brighten up' around here...

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.”

Just wondering, are you still in school or are you already working?
Aww I can no longer say I’m still a student! :) I’ve just graduated and I’m about to start working. :)
