About Me

CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is I can't stick to one current mission.

ABOUT ME

Hm, what is best to do is to name a few things that represent me at the moment, narrow it down to This Has Been Saina, 2007/2008:

I am an ex IB-student that didn't quite fit in within the IB-standards and went to London for a year after getting my Diploma to live and learn about the people, myself, art and fashion. Studied Fashion Portfolio at London College of Fashion and did all the things I wanted to do at that particular time. I was happy with what I had accomplished when I came home in June this year with an updated mind and a different view of life. I realized that I want to design nice spaces and environments instead of the surface on a human body.
And I realized it too late.

So, while my co-IB-graduates are studying law and medicine I am working ever since I got home and as hard it is to get a job in this city I have succeeded to currently work part time for a bunch of funny characters in a photostudio. But I pretend it's alright at the moment.

I sew/read/paint/attend concerts and gigs, with delight and interest, but with an itch, an itch that is saying: I wish my course could start this very week instead of next year. In other words: I know what I want to be and I can't wait.

But.

I am still happy waiting at the moment.
Generally, I enjoy meeting new people, exploring culture and seeing different cities. At the moment, I am looking for a couch in Berlin to occupy during the period: 27th of December to 3rd of January.
