Yes it’s very sad but i am leaving my favourite place in the whole world…...so that i can explore the rest of the world! I have been hired as a photographer aboard Princess Cruise Lines. I will be shooting hundreds of people everyday plus travelling to the most beautiful places on earth….and get paid for it! Don’t get me wrong, i’m not just bragging for the sake of it. There’s a lot of paperwork and work involved. It’s long hours and i would earn more if i stayed working at the cafe i’m working at now. It wont always be fun and laughter. At 21, i’m just old enough to meet the US age limit for working on a licenced ship. Phew! But rest assured i will still be posting lottsa lovely pics here for u all to see, (and buy! Sold yet another Toasted t-shirt today! Thanks a million people!!!!) So i will be leaving these fair Australian shores in April and returning in October. Cant freakin’ wait! Laters Taters! / <3>

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a boat. The most expensive bit o kit and it doesn’t fit in the camera bag, lol!! / It’s a Savage Avalon, centre console, 4.8m long, 2.41m wide, and has a Johnson 70hp outboard. I bought it because you have clear all around views from the deck, and it’s a walk around deck. It will allow me to get some better angles, not only at sea, but in lakes and rivers as well. The maiden voyage will be on thursday, depending on the weather, and we are looking at going from St Kilda, at this stage. / My niece Zoe, has put the kybosh on the boat, and told me rather sternly, I’m not going in the boat… I think she’ll change her tune sooner or later, lol!! / I’ve uploaded a photo of the boat, because I don’t know how to add it to this blog. By the way, the boat, she’s called Observant.

(If you’ve only added me to your watchlist recently and don’t know me very well, this journal would be easier to understand if you read my profile description first.) Hello everyone :o) Well, it’s been about 2 months since I finished my previous school semester. It feels good to be back in this community again; though I’m still falling greatly behind. I already expected that I cannot be as active as I was before Rome; but at the same time London is keeping me busier than I expected. My job has been pretty stressful; I’ve had to work a lot of overtime and sometimes I brought work home over the weekend. Things have been crazy; for myself and the world; Recession, sudden heavy snowfalls (back in Canada that’s normal, but here in London it caused so much commotion to the extent that public transportation got suspended), Victoria wildfires… I’ve been working hard; but I’m in a different city so I also go out a lot and make the most out of it. I’ve written to my previous supervisor long ago about how I spent New Years, and he said I’ve done more in one day than many Londoners do in their lifetime world (Can read about my New Year’s eve here then in the comments I added how I spent New Years day). Since then I’ve been visiting many museums and galleries, and once in a while spending the day outdoors. The past few weeks have also been full of activity due to the Chinese New Years festivities. This year is the year of the Ox; a strong animal that endures hardship, and we too must endure during this difficult period. While this may be a difficult period, people know how to have a good time here. Things have been getting busy at work lately, but thankfully I’ve done a lot before I started working, and I do as much as I can on the days I go out. While I was studying in Rome I had not uploaded any new origami works (aside from origami calendars) on Redbubble, but my collection has actually been growing. The past semester the profs would often urge us to arrive some place by a certain time, only to end up waiting there for a long time before getting a tour or before the bus arrives. So I killed my time by making little miniatures. I’ve been doing the same at work; in my office I don’t have a permanent desk; so whenever the staff are finding a free desk for me, I’m either standing around, or doing origami. There was also once a blackout; hence we could not do work on our computers, which we rely on heavily. So I was doing origami while waiting for the power to come back, and apparently the person in front of me was also killing time with origami! He has the most awesome calendar :o) each day of the month has a set of origami instructions for different kinds of paper planes (you make the plane out of the calendar paper of the previous day; which would have the fold lines marked on it). This happened during the last week of January; which meant that the following Friday the Victoria and Albert Museum would be holding its Friday late event (which they do every last Friday of the month). The January 2009 event was in honour of Chinese New Year, and many workshops took place. I spent the evening at the “Fortune Boats” workshop, where I learned to fold a fortune boat. I tried doing some miniature ones (looks like I have not mastered that yet) and just for fun I did a bunch of other miniatures. So now my miniature origami collection (since September 2008 – earlier creations are back home in Canada) looks like this: Anything that is red – or that has any hint of red – was done at the Victoria and Albert museum. Usually I do my miniature origami with a square piece cut from a sheet of lined paper, and sometimes trace paper. At the museum I was provided actual origami paper :o). On the very left I have sasanqua flowers like the one in my Bloomed from Fingers. Next to the sasanquas are lilies; I’ve folded normal sized ones in my Substitute for a silent mouth of sorrow. Just below the lilies is a star, and below that are penguins; one of the small ones is in Penguin in a Snowstorm (the other small one is just one of those I folded during the blackout) and the bigger ones are from Arctic Playground. Above the lilies are camels (see The Search for Water). The top middle are the fortune boats, which I learned at the museum. To the right are two different groups of sailboats (see Life is a Journey and Sailing Along the Lifeline – apparently now my most viewed work; 3070 views.), and below are my typical miniature cranes (all my origami works on RB can be seen through the link in my profile description)… That week I really wanted to post a journal, but then I was overcome by the past two weeks by work and the Chinese New Year festivities during “China in London”. The last “China in London” event took place last weekend, and so the Chinese New Year excitement ended; though this past week brought me more surprises. On Monday as I was looking through my activity monitor I noticed that many had commented and favourited my Every Little Peace, and then I realized that it made the featured pages! I had stopped posting journals about features for awhile but this one had me blown away; no other feature ever brought this much attention to my work (it seemed to encourage viewers to explore other works in my portfolio as well…). In fact “Every Little Peace” was not very popular initially, and now it is my third most favourited work; the day it was featured it received 12 favourites; which may possibly be the most favourites I ever got on a single piece of work in one day (that or Born from the Hand which I recall getting a lot of faves on the day I uploaded it.) In the days that followed it got 8 more favourites, so since the feature it has received 20 more favourites, and now it has 28 favourites. No doubt I was excited about the feature, and wanted to post about it right away, but there was already so much more that I wanted to share first that I didn’t know where to start. I put it off… and then the next day my latest T-shirt design Song of the Wind gets featured on the homepage! It doesn’t end there… yesterday I got a surprise when I read a comment on my work stating that it was used as the cover image for a group challenge! And I’m not even a member of the group hosting that challenge! So yeah, this year has been intense – stressful but exciting at the same time; and there is much more to look forward to; I’ll FINALLY be graduating this year (5 and a half year university program – it’s too long :P – and it’ll be longer IF I do masters); I have to go through the pain of a school semestre again to graduate :-P; I’ll be back in school again in May… It’s also a very important time in my life for me; a time for developing my career, and establishing what I really want to do… I’ve starting getting a clearer idea, and realy should be getting on it; but I’ve been too occupied; but for some parts, that’s actually a good thing. Anyhoo, hope you all have a lovely weekend and thanks for reading :o)

It seems like summer just zipped on by. For us here in New England it rained almost all of the month of June and we are finally having a heatwave. The kiddos are getting ready to head back to school and they don’t want to go. I can’t say I blame them, they did not get much of a summer until now. As for me and my son, I had surgery so I was sort of grounded to the couch for a little while, like 3 weeks of a little while and of course that first week was the one we finally had some sunny warm weather. Isn’t that the way it goes??? It’s all good. We did get to spend a few days up at the White Mountains in NH and swim in the Baker River. We had a good time. It was so nice to get away from it all and relax up in the hills. Over the last few weeks I have been honored with several features and a sale. Here they are…again thank you too all of the groups that have featured my work :) “Sunset at Seabrook” was featured in Majestic Massachusetts “City Hall Gardner MA” was featured in Amateur Art Photography “Crystal Dewdrop” was featured in Amateur Art Photography “The Chair” was featured in Amateur Art Photography “Washed Ashore” was featured in Flotsam & Jetsam “Clover Hiding” was featured in Amazing Orton Effect … “St Joseph’s Church Gardner MA” was featured in Christian Churches, Statues “Sailng” was featured in Out of the Blue “Harley Power” was featured in Alphabet Soup You sold a greeting card of “Railroad X-ing ” to vinylcollectors I am so so pleased with the interest in my work and for all of the features.
