Dear our wonderful siblings,


Trip in India
Subscription
Artwork details
Thanks for all you out there!


Yes, I'm officially back from India-- you know, the place where animals sometimes cross the road, where there are 8 lanes in one direction and 2 in the other, or even where great tasting, spicy food finds it's place? Yes, India ~ Actually, I've been back for about a few weeks. I arrived home around the 27th of January--- a day before school started. It actually wasn't too bad. I have large breaks in-between classes, so I can come home and sleep if I need to.


Even though I'm back, I can't help missing India in some ways--- It's my motherland, where my parents were born and where many of my relatives gleefully get on with their lives. Only thing though, is that they really REALLY value white skin. A little unwanted attention I'd say.. . Unless some of you like so much attention. [


Anywho, it seems as if... I have a subscription? No, no one bought me it, but I think I got a one month subscription from just participating in the Holiday Project 2007. You can see details in the 'Favorite News' section on my front page if you are interested. I think I should have put someone else's name instead~ I don't need a subscription ~ I'm actually fine without one -points to makeshift banner- see, wasn't that clever? -laughs- (maybe not.)


Aside from that, some of you may be wondering why I STILL haven't posted anything new into the gallery or even submitted a written work as I sometimes do? I guess I don't have a good excuse ~ I seem to be overwhelmed at the moment with so many things around me. The worst is the fact that it's so bad that I just can't do anything >_<! Do not worry my siblings, I have something up my sleeves to combat this issue;; During weekends I will literally force myself in some place to full concentration and work on at least 1 piece. That's my plan ! If things go well, you'll also be seeing something new you don't see a lot in the gallery as well.... what, you say? A song of course!.... "A song ? " Yes! I sometimes like to write lyrics out (Even though I'm not very good at it) It's fun! Maybe you should try it too! Eh... but don't know how long that will be. Frankly, what's more important is the artwork people have been waiting for. I WILL NOT BREAK MY PROMISES. And since that is cleared, without further ado, let's conclude this journal, shall we?



If time permits, I'll work on a custom CSS before this subscription ends. That way, if I ever do get a subscription again, when needed, if needed, I'll have things settled out and organized. But that's an if. You guys deserve it more than I do, and I'm sure you'll use it better =]!


All of you have been so kind with me ever since I've come to dA ~ Even if I may do pretty silly things sometimes, you've been patient and understanding, and you've helped a lot on the small study I started with the polls.



I have probably an infinite set of wishes I could think of right now, but the most important one would be, you guys keep doing the best you can with what you have and be the same, awesome people I've come to know!


Happy New Year and Chinese New Year!

Sincerely,
~Wholeheartedly,

P.S
~Please forgive me for the long journal entry. I will try to learn to shorten what I say next time ^_^;;

Dear Siblings,


Wow! And here I thought I wouldn't be on the internet until I came back home. I guess I really am too addicted to this afterall ;; ~ Alright, alright, I'll spend more time breathing in the wisdom from here, my homeland, than spending time on the internet that I can do at home peacefully . You know I've already learned something here ~ I'll post about it later if any of you wish to here ~ If you don't that's fine, I don't want to inconvenience anyone or in the broader sense hurt them in any way ^_^.


So our flight to India ended in success ~ We came here in one piece to say the least.
You know it took like 2 days to get here ? The stay at Singapore for 8 hours wasn't that bad too ^^. Me and my older sister, Shazaan-apa, took turns watching our stuff and using the restroom. I'm so thankful and grateful for being able to be brought here without any harm done at all-- none of our stuff got stolen too ~ Whoot! ^o^


So optimism and hope and curiosity at hand, I look forward to what destiny and fate has in store for me here. I may only be here for 1-2 weeks (need to check my flight ticket for exact date of return), but I pray I can do all I can with my time-- with my extended family and all. -doesn't know what else to say-


I'll update whenever I can

Take care all of you,

Sincerely,
Wholeheartedly,
~Hisaam

Dear Siblings,

I'm off to a trip in India for two weeks. I cannot be sure whether I can be able to comment or contact any of you until I come back... so this is just a notification in case any of you do come to worry where I am and what not

We're stopping at Singapore for 8 hours before connecting to the airplane to India... who knows what adventures await us in this trip, what plans we have set forth once we reach for India, and what awaits when I come back =] ~ _{My first time solo flying from so far away.. I hope I can be brave... -laughs-}

{no need to be fearful! life with trials? Let's pass it }

My parents are waiting for me in the car, ^_^ I guess it's good bye to you all for a while. My heart and blessings are always with you and your families. Always remember that.

Keep being the best you all can be,

-Salutes-

Sincerely,
Wholeheartedly,
~Hisaam
