If you must ask, who inspires me most in my life... and gives me reasons to my passion and motivates me in my expression and work... they are as follows... in no particular order. I adore them all the same.
1. Jasmine Star - everytime I visit Jasmine's blog, I am always left smiling or in awestruck. She takes the most beautiful and engaging pictures in this entire universe. And her wittism (ok, I created this word) is beyond me. She always, always, reminds me to stay cool, love and live life... I so heart her.
2. Debbie Olson - she is THE person who everything I want to be in card making. EVERYTHING. Her style and taste is just so me wannabe in everyway. People often ask me where do I learn my card making, where do I get my inspirations and ideas. Somewhat, from Debbie. Somewhat, Debbie's work guides me with the techniques and styles.
3. Gabriel Garcia Marquez - when I read Gabo's writings, it always makes me ponder where the heck did he ever had those words and feelings in such manner? Where did he get those feeling of love, in various variations? It's always beyond me. And I am one of those people who would read his words, word by word, trying to absorb it all bit by bit, hoping I can memorize what he as just written after reading pass them. And I try hanging on to his words as much as I could. And everytime I finish his books, my heart pumps nothing more but life.
4. Yasmin Ahmad - she always reminds me to be original beyond original and be me as I want to be in my work. Her ability and uncanny ways to bring tears to people who watches her work is something I am always to remember in my writing. And she always exposes me to other side to beautiful things that I never knew.
She once quoted Hemingway "All you have to do is write 1 true sentence. Write the truest sentence you know..." and ever since then, I wrote with my trustiest feeling and the rest they say would be history. Indeed. Which then, that got people wondering where and what were my daily bread to 'just' write with the truest, simplest and original pieces one could ever think and feel for. There.
May she rest in peace. I do miss her quirkiness and mischievous choices to things that amuses her, and always me. Hehe...
Well... so far, 4 inspiring people that keeps my passion alive and keeping me in tow to the work I create... great people.
