one of the happiest days of my life!

March is ending, it's D-17 to the National Exam, and for some reason I decided to update my blog yet again. Well obviously, so much stuffs have happened since my last post but I'll get to that later. Right now, I want to share a story--probably the biggest one yet.

Um, I actually don't know where to begin with this; let's just start with a couple of questions. Have you ever wanted something so bad? Something that you wish to have, or to become, since you were just a sixth grader? Well, I do. It's no secret that I have always dreamed of working in the fashion industry--especially in New York. Every night before bed, I would close my eyes, imagining myself coming in and out of every shows in New York Fashion Week and working for huge companies like Marc Jacobs or Diane von Furstenberg or Kate Spade. Well actually back when I was twelve, I dreamed of having my own line called Rhapsody.......... but let's scratch that off for a moment.

And I mean, it's not like I am working in fashion right now. But (hopefully) I'm getting closer to that. And that's where the big news came from.

Recently, I have just been accepted to one of my dream schools in New York. WHOOO! I can't believe this is happening to me, I feel like bursting in happiness!!!!! It still feels so surreal, even now, while I'm typing down this post. If you see me right this moment, you'll probably notice the big ass grin on my face that I can't seem to wipe off since the moment I received the letter. It's just that this school is super selective with the admission process and everything, and to think that I'm one of the few lucky people to get into FIT is just........ miraculous.

Actually, I also did get accepted to Istituto Marangoni in Milan a little while before this. I too am excited for it, especially since it's the alma mater of some of the greatest world-class designers like Franco Moschino, Domenico Dolce (from Dolce & Gabbana), and Tex Saverio. And also, my parents seem to be more excited about this Milan thing rather than New York. That's probably because they're also planning on having a trip to Europe while dropping me off in Milan. Hahahaha. But I don't know..... I guess I'm just kind of freaked out with the fact that I have to learn Italian to "survive" my college years. I mean, sure, the classes are taught in English, but I will not be able to get by that easily by only being able to speak English in Italy, right?

Anyways, Milan or New York, I'm happy either way. As long as I get to pursue my dream of working in the fashion industry, I'm totally fine with which school I will go to. And I know God will help me go through with the best decision, for He has been showering me with His blessings this past month.

The fact is, I'm just so grateful with my life right now. And I'm not just talking about this whole university thing. I'm so glad that God has surrounded me with such great friends, given me a great companion for the last six months, and more importantly, I thank God so much for the two most amazing parents in the whole world!

I hope the months that come after will be just as blessed as this March. AAMIIN.
