Drifting In a Sea of Ifs
I've just turned 19 today. It feels odd to know that this will be my very last year as a "teen".. i guess there's a first to everything.
On a side note, I will be taking a short break from flickr. Thanks to tests and photography assignments I doubt I'll have the time to hang around here.. But! I will return for sure once everything is out of the way. Terribly sorry I won't have the chance to visit, but no worries though I'll be back soon enough! ( probably a week or something ) I'm looking forward to seeing you folks again!
and oh yea! Nurul, have fun in Spain! Please don't get lost over there!! I think it'd be safe for me to say that it'll be the trip of your life ;D savour every moment of it yes?

Happy belated birthday, Ryo! Ah, so you're a Pisces are you? That's pretty neat--I'm a water sign too, hahaha!! And what an appropriate photograph for the day! I really like the strong "elemental" quality to it--the icy/watery texture, the "firey" orange, the "earthy" appearance at the bottom. It's very impressionistic, almost like a painting. Great work once again my friend!
Good luck with all of your tests and projects, hope it all goes well for you! :)
