7 things

1. Designing goes much quicker when you have a set idea in your mind. (as well as a birthday deadline)
2. Almonds and marshmallows are a delicious combo treat.
3. You can learn perseverance from children. (as in the once-overweight Korean boy I met this week who really wanted to go to Art School for modern dancing and ballet - so he spent three years dieting and lost 20kgs and has now been accepted to the Art School in Seoul.)
4. Thinking about your future, your life goals and your ultimate dreams may make your brain hurt.
5. When starting a blog - do a proper amount of research on your host site and pick one that fulfills your purpose. (ie: blogger's inability to host downloadable files - fail.)
6. International Time zones can be a tricky little thing.
7. Your first impression can sometimes be swayed... (for example: at first glance, did not like the Starbucks rebrand, but after watching this... well... eh.... maybe.)
