I've come to realise now that as much as i have yet to fully register it in my brains and accept the fact, i am almost a full fledged BSc. graduate... With a major in biotechnology... Fashion has pretty much slipped away and its but traces of it that is lingering around... Makeup....well dat has been well and alive because of all the training i get doin stage makeup for all de gals in my dance group... Fashion will come around i am sure but just not for now... Its been cryopreserved (haha.... de inner biotechnologist speaking), and will be thawed soon for use...
Doin my project has made me realise that i can still be awed by lab work and getting results, and still marvel at how powerful scientists are and science is... I am one of them (scientists) damn it!!!
It has somehow dawned upon me that if i wanted to have studied fashion i should've stood up for it way bak in Form 6 but, alas, i was way too much of a crowd pleaser that i had 2 go and do the thing that pleased not only my parents but also my relatives alike... So now, i should be concentrating on what i am doing and i should do it well... Fussing over what i've missed as i've found out the hard way was never a solution to anything... To be frank it made things worse... But things have taken a turn for the better and i am now focused on my current predicament to make de best out of it...
Actually the very reason i've been so accepting and motivated is because i've had a consolation for having missed fashion in the first place... ODISSI... It gave me a sense of belonging, finally, because i felt that being just a BSc. graduate seem so accomplishable... Seemed very meagre, very achievable. N i knew very well i wasn't going 2 be the best at it. On top of this i missed the very thing i could've been great in, fashion... Odissi jus fit de jigsaw puzzle and it came at the time i was most desperate for goal to work for which i, very foremostly, love....
So here goes, first odissi, then a professional cert in makeup, and then, slowly a fashion stylist perhaps....and a biotechnologist all the way...
Wow, now that sounds more like a worthwhile goal and once achieved an even more worthwhile accomplishment....
