"You see everything,
you see every part.
You see all my light
and you love my dark."

Diary# è il mio primo progetto, è un progetto personale dedicato all'autoritratto il cui scopo è indagare dentro me stessa e tirare fuori i fantasmi che si annidano nell'identità di una persona. A me piace definirlo... un'autoterapia.

It's important to be kind to others, but it's also very important to be kind to yourself. Be kind. And forgive yourself and others. <3
We're Here doing Picture Diaries today.
* I realized too late I spelled hopped wrong. I didn't save the psd file, it is what it is...
I hosted a David Bowie sleepover on Friday.
In addition to "Labyrinth", we watched "Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence", "The Hunger" and "The Man Who Fell To Earth", and finished up around 6 am! :D
We also had lots and lots of yummy food and pot after pot of tea.
Vas pasando por un museo lapidario, muchas salas y dormitorios amuebladas y/o llenos de armaduras, obras de arte, mobiliario… Vale la pena perder un par de horas en esta visita. Y el espectáculo nocturno aun en francés no debe estar mal.
El resto de la cronica y mas fotos podeis encontrarlos en mi blog de fotografia: byesca.blogspot.com/
The layout of things have changed quite a bit since the previous desk diary and there is now more to cover - my workspace at the office and home and now also our first ever retail store.
It's been rather hectic of late - since we last spoke, we attended and rolled out booths at Anime Festival Asia Thailand, Anime Expo in LA, SMASH in Sydney and I'm off again to Taipei this week for Fancy Frontier.
Apart from meeting our fans, event participation is also important marketing for Smart Doll but trying to do both production *and* events has furthermore engrained an unfortunate truth in my life - "living a life of passion means living a life of sacrifice."
Sharing my life through my writing and photos is something that I enjoy but the truth is that I need to choose between writing or growing the business.
For the many years that I spent writing, I felt that my life wasn't going anywhere. While I did have a large user base, a fairly popular mascot character called Mirai Suenaga and a few clients who I made websites for - I was barely making enough to pay the server costs and wages. I may have portrayed that I lived a glitzy life in the anime industry but in reality it was more grim which at one point nearly lead me down the road to depression.
I then made the decision to let go of my writing schedule and focus more time on the Smart Doll business which took me from working out of home with a couple of employees to the beginning of something that changed my and the lives of people around me.
Its not that I dont care about writing - its that I cant physically care about everything while trying to stay mentally sane.
For many moons I felt I was living the lives of my readers afraid that if I stopped writing that I would lose them. After making the decision to live my own life - while I did lose some readers, I created something that I had always dreamed of - a self sustainable growing business platform that now enables me to create the things that I want and change people's lives.
I always see sacrifice like being at a table full of good food - your stomach is only a certain size that can take so much - trying to eat everything will do damage - one has to sacrifice either the Penang Prawn Mee noodles or the Siew Yook Rice.
Anyway, I actually got a whole post about the importance of sacrifice in building a career and want to talk about how I pulled myself back up before I fell into depression - will post that soon as I feel it's an important message to share.
First photo - my desk snapped a couple of days ago after rearranging the lounge area.

"un minuto come un ora, come un giorno o forse più
un minuto anche stasera per dimenticare
un minuto, un minuto per sempre...
un minuto per reagire con la testa o il cuore
un minuto per odiare e non perdonare più
un minuto, un minuto per sempre...
un minuto di silenzio l'occhio si illuminerà
un minuto per favore, per rimuovere il male
un minuto per pensare alla morte e ridere
un minuto, un minuto per sempre..."

One of the two things I was willed by my grandmother Marge Barnfield (1909-1985) was her mother's daily journal from 1919. There's a lot I don't know about her, though I did have some time with her... she'd babysit me at her home in Wapato WA during the time my new baby sister was in the hospital. (My sis was born with some tummy troubles that required surgery.) Her house shared an alley with her other daughter Mayme's (1916-1997) house.
Jane Hibbs, née Owens (1889-1974) was in a good-sized family and produced two boys and two girls. She was a pioneer wife who lived on a farm that raised hay and hogs. Life was very plain and straightforward, if you go by her entries, and she collected recipes from anywhere she could get them. (And I've never found a rival to her raspberry-rhubarb jam.) As I remember her, she was also an amazing knitter/sewer/craft maker... there wasn't anything she couldn't make with thread or yarn.
Shown here are a couple pages from the diary, a couple strips of recipes clipped from the newspaper, a recipe someone sent her via Western Union telegraph, a handwritten recipe from a letter, and two receipts from the farm. The little boy pictured is one of her sons, Guy (1922-1980). They lived in Olds, Alberta, Canada and the diary itself was bound in Toronto -- made by Brown Bros Ltd.

Train spotting, collecting stamps, collecting matchbox labels, collecting bubble gum cards, collecting tea cards, having eye problems, attending school, receiving mail....
Wicksteed Park was and is a large amusement park near Kettering. I recall slides - Schaukeln - in other playgrounds bearing the mark as if they also manufactured them. A friend of my father [the Rodney in the diary] was performing national service in Aden/Kenya/Malta and he kept me supplied with stamps and matchbox labels.
African Wild Life perhaps relates to Brooke Bond PG tips cards.
A&BC chewing gum cards must have been issued from machines outside small shops, the contents of which were very interesting.
