sick over the long weekend
so i got pretty sick after partying on friday. lol i was already starting to get a sore throat on the thursday, so i was already anticipating it. it still just sucked getting sick during the long weekend. i had a blast at the party though so i guess it was worth it. the day after AX, it was like i was hit with a hangover, allergies, and a cold all at once. my nose was constantly running all day....

I absolutely LOVE weddings.
I think most people do.
But I tend to spend a lot of time thinking about my own. I’ve envisioned many different scenarios and wedding fantasies. While I never have anything set in concrete, I still like to think of all the little details I’d love to have for my own wedding. Imagining myself walking down the aisle and exchanging vows with that mysterious special love tends to get me...

ryantran.ca update
ryaners:
I’ve updated my portfolio at ryantran.ca with new and old work!
I was sifting through my old portfolio pieces and grew a little nostalgic (check out Asians in Motion, QAY Flyer, and Gold Lion). While I also added some new stuff I’ve been working on at my current position at George Brown College.

a dream.
in my dream i was on vacation somewhere warm with my family. and we were surfing. ughh i miss the warm weather and surf.
so part of this dream we met this boy who would stash his surfboard in different dumpsters around the neighbourhood cause he couldn’t take it home. for some reason his parents didn’t want him to surf so he’d always hide it somewhere on the street. my cousin...

generosity
it totally disheartens me to see such a generous friend of mine being taken advantage of. and i’m not even sure if my friend’s bf realizes how much he’s taking advantage of my friend. but it still makes me so sad and useless to see it happening. even when i keep telling my friend to stop giving away so much, i don’t know what i can do other than that. because i know this...
Things in Writing
i realize that writing really does help me to clarify my thoughts, especially when i feel i’m more articulate and comfortable writing/typing over verbal communication. it’s always been a great outlet for myself. it helps me analyze what a problem may be and plan out what i want to do. in the end it also visually lays out the solutions.
publishing it online helps solidifies the idea...

i miss semi-formals.
after high school there’s not many opportunities to dress up with your friends/date and go to a nice fancy venue. in college, clubs like the viet student association might put on a semi-formal but i would only go if i knew enough friends going (which isn’t much). so really there’s not much else out there afterwards. i’d have to wait for the next wedding to be able to dance...

pink
today my mom made it a point to say she liked the pink shirt i was wearing. last year at my graduation she bought pink flowers and said she bought them because they were my favourite colour. actually blue has been my favourite colour my whole life. my whole bedroom back at my parents’ house is all blue walls and blue bed sheets, how could she miss that.
but what my mom is actually saying is...

Focus to survive
i feel like i’ve been so swept up in guys lately when i should be focusing more on myself. i’ve been feeling excessively needy and lonely for company and social interaction but not really looking in the right places or receiving the appropriate solution. I feel like my focus should be more concentrated in a different area. It’s normal to feel lonely but at the same time i’m...
