Finally got the images...

I did this shoot during my previous trip to Hong Kong.
It was ffffreeeeeeezing on the day that we did the outdoor shots, but it was worth it I think.
Also, I was lucky enough to have J around to keep me warm.

Panasonic advert

Once again, there are many of me...

Pretty awesome! 

If this offends you, good. Maybe you would stop shoving that rubbish down your throat.

Lately on my news feed on Facebook (interesting how it always starts there) I've seen a lot of adverts for diet pills. Lose weight, without exercise and all that rubbish... It has also become apparent that some people have the  urge to share their weight loss secrets with all their friends on FB. I really hope that the person who is doing it reads this, YOU ARE NOT PROMOTING A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND YOU SHOULD SERIOUSLY RECONSIDER INFORMING EVERYONE ABOUT YOUR DIET PILLS USAGE, YOU MIGHT JUST BE THE REASON WHY ONE OF YOUR FRIENDS END UP SUFFERING FROM SEVERE HEALTH PROBLEMS, SINCE THAT BRAND OF DIET PILLS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO HAVE HIGHER THAN FDA APPROVED QUANTITIES OF CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES THAT HAVE SEVERE SIDE EFFECTS. IT'S A WONDER THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN HOSPITALIZED YET!!!

Glad to have gotten that off my chest, its been bothering me for about a month.

Here is my question. If you can even think that taking and paying for a combination of substances that are in MOST cases harmful, not FDA approved that can result in DEATH, (yes, it can!) why can't you schedule an appointment with a dietitian and get a proper eating plan that is specifically formulated for you? It also annoys me when people are willing to pay so much per month for diet pills when it will cost them the SAME amount of money to go to a dietitian... And an extra bonus, if you follow a healthy eating plan, you will indeed not end up in the emergency room severely dehydrated and malnourished. 

I've read comments that some girls write about the effects that the diet pills had on them. One girl mentioned that on the first day of use she was so weak that she could not open her eyes. She was then clever enough to take it again on the second day and just mentioned that she was still weak and very dizzy. Now apparently diet pills have effects on cognitive abilities as well... Where is it ever okay to take a substance that makes you THAT ill??

Diet pills cannot give you the daily vitamins and minerals that your body requires. Good bye shiny hair and strong nails. If you can tell me that diet pills make you lose a whopping 4 kg in a week, I'm telling you now, it has a diuretic effect and you just lost water, not fat... Why not get yourself a nice pet, like a tapeworm? You will feel ill, have some health problems in the long run and lose weight. What's the difference?

Some people might question my motives here, I am in an industry that can be blamed for all these obsessive and drastic measures. Okay, so let's look at the industry. Yes the girls are skinny, SOME do have eating disorders and turn to diet pills and crash diets... 

But...(Yes, there is a but) The models who earn the most money are... The Victoria's Secret Angels.  Those girls are NOT super skinny. They have curves! (Except for Chanel Iman, she's a stick but every group has an outlier). They work out with trainers and eat healthy meals. So the next time you want to blame the industry for your urge to take diet pills, go look at the VS models first and then decide if you still have a valid point.

 Back to the point, if you lose weight quickly, you can gain it again just as easily. 

If you restrict your calorie intake and barely eat, the only thing you're doing is slowing down your metabolism, so you might be losing pounds this week, but when you eat normally, you will just gain it all again. 

 The best thing you can do is to go to a dietitian... You get to eat three HUGE meals and snack and still lose weight. It might not have immediate effects, but then again, nothing else in life is instant (except for bad coffee and dodgy noodles) so why even think that weight loss should be?

Nothing new, nothing to declare, this is just to prove that I'm still alive.

I'm suffering from a boring life with no current interesting blogging material...
There just isn't anything interesting going on right now...

I did a Show for Dior. That was amazing.
Most of the time I have been behind the books studying (Yes, I enrolled for a course)
It's actually quite tough to sit down and study again after taking a break. (Modeling gives you ADD  not proven yet, but it is a valid statement)
It's also adding a bit to my stress levels, but nothing drastic...

Sigh, I leave for Hong Kong in a week and that is why there are no interesting news...
Maybe I will go to the zoo...

Love me, love me, love me...

I've been wondering about this?
Is your love classified as undying if you announce it over Facebook?

Well if that's the case, J and I are royally screwed.
I rarely even bother to write on his wall or to dedicate a status to him, since he's not a FB addict like me...
It's not because I don't love him, I just hate it when people write crap like: "I love you so much your the light in my life blah, bah, blah..." 
And I'm sure of it that I'm not the only one who dislikes this. (Don't you wish Facebook had that dislike button then)

The best part is that the person who it's dedicated to changes more than what I change outfits during fashion week. The one becomes many...everyone... and then it's just all weird. Love seems to be fickle...

 If you've been in a relationship for a while, or it's going to last longer than a week, it's okay to get soppy sometimes. (Just don't gross me out)

Personally I think that it's such a trivial thing to do, that it seems like a waste of some good Facebook stalking time... Wait, what?

PS. If you love someone, be old school and send them a card or flowers.
You will be appreciated so much more.
We'll see the uploaded images on Facebook anyway.

There's no set route to any destination from now on...

The area where I live has got quite a few model apartments and some of the men in the area have figured it out.

It's really creepy when someone tells you this : "Excuse me, I'm not bothering you and I don't mean offense, but I saw you on the train three stops ago and I followed you. Can I get your number? Oh, and how tall are you, you look like a model?"

Following me is definitely the best way to get a strategically placed kick  way to my heart.
I don't really know how this was suppose to knock me off my feet, unless he had chloroform on him.
(We all know that dodgy stalkers have ample supply of chloroform on them when they follow tall girls)

I was really rude to the guy and now I want to make up for it.

This song is for you, mister creepy stalker dude, I hope you like this and that possible restraining order!

Lost and found??

Sometimes I wonder how unique we really are.

I'm unique... Just like everyone else and we apparently don't have it.

Everyone is also out to find their unique selves.

In order to find something, I'm guessing you didn't have it, or you lost it?

How can you lose yourself?  Can anyone explain that to me?

You either do something or you don't. You say yes or no.

You can choose to agree or disagree?

So if you know that you have all these options and choices and every choice leads to another place in life... How can you lose yourself? Unless you lose yourself in the music, I'm not falling for it.

Does being lost refer to changing?

Because that would make more sense...

I prefer to agree with George Bernard Shaw...

Makes this whole finding business so much easier. 

In other words, you've always had yourself, you just need to shape, mold, and... Create.

Creativity is the essence of life... 

So go ahead, color your life... 

Panasonic pappa!!!

I am super excited for tomorrow...

After a rather devastating casting, I got the job for a Panasonic camera advert. 

The casting was devastating, because I had to pose with a camera and show expressions.

Not difficult to do, when you have a couple of minutes to think about it, but when someone shoves a camera in your hands and says, "show different expressions" it's not that easy.

I'm also wondering why everyone keeps on asking me if I am mixed. I feel like an alcoholic beverage... (Mixed and volatile like a cocktail?)

I think it could possibly be that I am from Africa and on the pale side... It seems confusing I guess. 

Back to that Panasonic advert. Maybe a free product added to the deal would be a good idea... I will promote it with every single snap...

I love the number 3...

While trying to get through some work, (I was 'clever' enough to enroll for classes) I ended up finding 3rd rock from the sun on youtube.

I absolutely love the series.

Harry :"Uh, Dick. I can't see through my eyelids."
Sally: "Open them"
Harry: "Ooooh, their manual."

Here's a clip of season one, episode one...

Sleep Nazi meets Confucius...

Aargh, I live with a sleep Nazi...
Now if you're wondering what a sleep Nazi is, let me give you my very accurate definition...

A sleep Nazi is someone who just cannot resist to wake you up and keep you awake by doing annoying things... or, pain in the ass...


This morning at 4:50 AM, I was rudely woken by a Skype conversation and dance music...
So after falling asleep at 1:30 AM, I can surely say that I was a bit upset and not too friendly.

Since it's Friday I thought I would take an afternoon nap (best part of not working set hours)
To my surprise, the sleep nazi woke me up again...

Curse the sleep nazi...



Here's a photo of me and Confuscius... Since coherent writing is out the window due to lack of sleep...

It's me and Confucius... Leaning statue of Confucius???

Many Mea's...

This happens when I'm sleep deprived and have a 5AM call time...
