Don't play with it

As I've been lamenting, this has been my toughest semester to date. However, despite all the trials, 2012 is proving to a rather happy, fortunate year thus far. As quick as one door has closed, another opens with very little time to spend worrying about opportunities lost.

Although school tried to be the death of me, life's been sending me many reasons to smile these days, in ways I truly never expected or saw coming. One of those many unexpected reasons...? I was blessed with the opportunity of having an Art Exhibition with the help of a family friend. And people say there's no more good remaining in the world...

In the midst of all my exam preparation and assignment completion, I had about a month plus to prepare. I was aiming to do about 10 new pieces, instead I did about 5-6 including a fabric painting on a dress. However, I had some work compiled from before. In total I believe it was 20 + pieces with about 11 available prints.

The even itself was held at Caribbean House, SGU True Blue campus, Saturday 28th April from 5-7pm. Upon entry, each person received a glass of wine and a gourmet chocolate and signed in...and then continued into the hall to see the pieces and muse with their glass of wine.

So... enough typing.

As usual, my personal paparazzi took shots...

I was actually accusing Sher and Trent of getting me into Anime, even though it looks like I was giving orders. Sher just captured the shot perfect.

Trent trying to hide the jawbreaker... haha

Ariel, myself, and Trent (we could pass for siblings eh...?)

He's pleased with his new piece ^.^

This has truly been the semester from hell. Yes I know I've been absent and I see my lack of recent posts has not really been much of a traffic deterrent... but let me be a good blogger and at least post something new.

So, I've survived. I'm now just awaiting final exam results from my classes to ensure I made it clear over the bar. When I haven't been in class, I've been studying and when I was not studying, I was being tutored and when I was not being tutored, I've been preparing for an exhibition.

Yes I know again. More strangeness. Me? Study? Being tutored? Preparing for an exhibition? That's a whole lot of focus from me than I've ever witnessed. All that to say, I'm exhausted and spent these last couple nights being way too burnt out to do anything other than sleep.

I must say I'm a blessed child though. In the end, everything has worked out.

With that said, I shall not squeeze my exhibition post into this one. No, for it is deserving for a post all by itself. As soon as I've completed my edits, it shall be up.

So... ciao for now.
Check back in half hour or so...

All in all the event was a success. Look out next semester for the next Gala.
Ciao
