Been an ERA

Hello Folkners,

it's been a while since,i've written... but,i wasn't able to connect to the cyber world and now that i have, even though i'm still experiencing some issues i'm right HERE.

I moved to a different location/started term two... springs coming back...i've seen snow! i've lived childhood again for a second and now that i'm back on our beloved planet ,things continue happening and happening .

So,today im going to bring you some memories from last week ..enjoy!

The snow was beautiful and made me like England even if after 2 years living here i am yet to be convinced about this place in general...anyway, yesterday i went to one of the major exhibitions happening right about now in London ,which is the Hussein Chalayan  "From fashion and back"... it was great to see creations in-front of my own eyes,even though you couldn't touch but you could definitely feel that "thing" that all of us working or collaborating in the arts chain know what i'm talking about...The exhibition gave me alot to see and alot to think about after i walked out,i definitely recommend to anyone that's around in the UK to go and take  a look... (Design Museum)

Even if i'm living in this cold dark country i still manage to get some flavors of my own colours and shades... these might just be the new colour scheme of summer 2009.

Forgot to mention ,that after the christmas 2008 holidays,i went to see a west end musical... i didn't have the best impression of the west end i always thought it's "just" a play... but, i did go and i seen "Wicked" and i have to say it was great..worth the money.

SUNday Market

Everybody loves the sunshine...

on a SUNday.

Yesterday i decided to join my family members to one of the many sunday markets you'll find over our beloved shores...and i didn't think i would enjoy it,but surprisingly i did ...there were quite a few interesting things and tones that caught the angle of my eye and i hope that you'll find interest as well as you're looking through these photos...

We made another stop on our way back,to a quiet hidden place that not everyone may know which is still within the area of Ta'Qali.

Hope you Enjoy the vibrations...

Christmas2008

So This was Christmas and now it's gone!

I did bug everyone on my contact list with this sweet christmas countdown, but really i did it with good intentions ,so it's all good...

Now that Christmas(2008) is behind us, we start looking forward  to the new year,but i haven't even had time to think about it nor deciding my resolutions or anything else that usually comes with a new year.

If you stop for a second and think how everything is going around the world right about now, the new year doesn't look full of joy or happiness but rather sad and very low stated,but hey these times of year humans are supposed to think positive and to be truthful after all of these lights flashing everywhere and a million guys looks like Santa Claus you kinda have to smile a little.

I hope everyone was home safe and sound ,warm and wrapped around the christmas trees and if you dont like it i hope you started liking it a little tiny bit,and if you still don't then contact me to add you on my contact list so next year i would have a new person to bug!

I will post more blogs later on ,because priority calls me and right now it's my belly shouting for a little "Hobz tal-Malti" (Maltese bread)..

SantaSEF

SantaSEF came to town...

Homemade is the best way to do it.

Holy-Days

Ooooookay.

Well, Today i am leaving to go back to my country for christmas holy-days.. i certainly hope that my days will be holy  but none the less full of rest and smiles... I need a break ,but going back home doesn't assure me that it will be exactly how i wanted it to be, however i will settle for it because i have to.

I can't wait to go though, it's always good to have a taste of home and the people that come within it's package,so soon i will be starting to get ready to go go.

Still have  a lot to do around here,still have to clean the room/do the laundry and do homey stuff...but, everything will get done hopefully on time !

I will be reporting not live from my country for sure... well ,folks for now that's all i got to give you,but come back for more .

Pack-UNpack and Pack again

This week i had to repeat a pattern like way of living !

Moving from north to south,packing twice and all that you can imagine... 

Sir Hassle was present all the time,had a lot to sort out in so little time... not to say that many people wasted my time and messed up my original plans ,but hey somehow with the help of good hearted people i managed to do a lot.

Now I no longer will be living in north london ,but i will be living in the university halls,looking forward to it ,but since i already had that experience last year im not sure 100% yet! just have to wait and see.

BUSYfree

...To apologize 

still wouldn't do it,however i am still alive, i hope you're happy about that.

I finally finished the first term of this year's course,and just when i think "SI,i am done,over,gogogo" ...I am held back by a whole list of other things to get done, and it's not the christmas list,it's a week list before i head back to the beautiful shores of my country.

It's been very hectic...handing in work, meeting deadline,re-submitting ,bugging to get into the university halls and what not...but , i have to say that after all of that i kind of did everything i had to do...

YES,i got into halls and i will be leaving to go home this sunday,therefore in a weeks time i have to move everything from where i am because the contract is ending this month anyway... have to sort things out ,and get ready to have a mini miny mo christmas break with the family... so,i kind of have something to look forward to.

This SEFblog post takes me back when i said that student's lives are very hard to handle and not always easy to be part of or actually living the "student life".

But, i don't want to moan about it... it's a choice i made.

I am BUSY but kinda FREE. 

NoNo ROYAL MoFo

OKAY.

ROYALmail, i am sorry, actually i am not!

These are the organizations we trust in, and they do us wrong and treat us as if we are the ones that aren't managing the work right.

COMPLAIN.

yes!

so,i went on to the website and it's sooo damn long ,that i don't have time for it...so maybe they know what they are doing because they don't want to hear our complaints.

I called twice and this guy hung up on me TWICE, he even told me to hold the line while he answers his personal phone-line ! 

WHAT?!!

yes !

and then he hung up because i asked him his name...I was way too polite... no wonder why this land is so cold.

NOT happy

SO unprofessional

SO unhelpful..

yours truly,

Royal MoFo.

Fresh start

As in every three weeks, i have a new academic project to start and hopefully finish...right now i'm doing a project regarding promotion...

...and today i was in the photography studio...

 

As usual i am always looking for something fresh ,something new and maybe something old and let me tell you,there's always something hidden or something that's not obvious around you that you might not notice ,but it's still there staring at you...

look what i found !

Mr.Fisherman Man

Oh yes,

i been very busy these past days ,but i had this special face in my everyday life... take a look... he's not your average fisherman!

This particular face inspired me to design a whole lot of ideas,so thank you Face.

Been around the world and aiai I...

I can't find my baybay...

Hello Folks, 

yes it's me,believe it or not i'm still alive!

I been busy as usual, no time for myself and if you see the upper part of my head, you would understand perfectly what i'm talking about, anyways... i been in the studio a lot and managing time has been so so bad, i mean i am in a big need of some planning in my professional life.

Apart from that i am still alive up in this dully city,and this weekend i been to Brighton, sad thing i didn't took any photos ,but i am sure i will have the opportunity to go back again and get some memories for you with me ...These past two days i decided i will try to relax and that,but tomorrow is back to work, back to looking for shelter,cause soon i am going to be out of my present place,so yes sir i've got lots of stuff on my mind.

Ones again, even though to you me saying i will try and write when i can might seem as a lost battle ,It's not !! i will do ,but please do understand that this takes time ,time that i can't always allow.

I don't smoke cigars I smoke Temperatures

Damn!

A cold caught me!!

It's the last thing i needed right about now,but i have it ,so that means it's included in my life,so i have to cope with it.

Mahogany

... is the newly frizzy color of my hair.

Snowy TUE

Yes,it actually snowed late last night and early morning...

This was bit exciting for me because whenever it snowed in London last winter i always missed it for a reason or another... so even though the snow wasn't heavy it still warmed up my heart a little ...plus it's getting reallllly chilly ,it got down to -3°C yesterday,so for those who opt to show skin... i would advise to cover up before leaving any premises.

Still here

Today i didn't have university ,so i had a couple of things on my list to get done...

First thing i did was fixing my heels... then I decided to go to RIBA "royal institute of british architects",to see Anish Kapoor works, thought it was quite clean/futuristic but at the same time not all pieces convinced me...even though some works were really good as in use of shape...I added in a photo of the leaflet of the exhibitions because i couldn't take photos.

Well, after the exhibition ,i went to get myself a mannequin (FINALLY) and got back home, i feel a bit under the wether and tired as well so i didn't feel like going other places plus it looked like it's about to rain and i enjoy it more from the indoors.

Oh and guess what ?!

i got two more photos from Ronnie Scotts thanks to my friend Mike ! ( thank you Mike)

I know I know !

I know i haven't written in ages,but i been here... just am very very busy right now with this project im doing, which will be finishing this week ,so i'm kind of struggling to finish beautifully and to be honest my chances of doing so aren't looking so positive,but hey i'm gonna keep on going untill i get something out of it ! bad or good i will keep on going...

Right now i shouldn't be here ,i should be working ,sketching and that ,but i had to update because it's been long...and so many things happened aswell...so i'm going to talk you though these couple of days.

Yes!

i am a whole No.20. now ...13th OCT... didn't celebrate cause i never do ! but, i need to thank everyone that wished me a good one though,i appreciate it .

Last Friday i went to the World famous jazz spot "Ronnie Scotts" i always wanted to go ,but never had the chance to and since,my friend was in town ,he decided to take me as a birthday gift to see a great GREAT musician Jon Faddis...i have to say it's quite of a small place,but it makes you feel like you're in a private gig which i guess is the whole point of it,so it was cool, i loved it ...definitely was the highlight of my week.

Will visit again for sure and i couldn't take photos inside ,but i know that my friend did ha! so if i get hold of any photos i will post them for sure...

It's funny that some of people that read my blog, have no idea of how or what i look like hah! so i added this photo,so you'll know who's mind you're reading whenever you feel like reading my words on here.

I apologize if i will take another era to write in here again, but i am truly busy with this university life,i don't even have time for myself ..but anyway enough of the moaning ,i'm getting back to slavery work ! haha.. see you soon dear folky friends.
