excessive joy and ultimate grief.

hi guys,

I know it's been a while since I blogged once again, but things have been.. well, quite hectic.

last week, I was the happiest girl in the world - I got into the finals of the ILOVEFASHIONNEWS contest and I couldn't be more excited! I want to thank you all so much for voting, I wouldn't have made it if it wasn't because of your votes!
this Monday I had my first fitting at River Island (all the finalists have to compose 3 outfits from clothing from River Island) and everything went fantastic.

but something terrible happened a few hours later..
we got a phonecall from a relative that my grandfather had passed away..
we'd seen it coming, but things happened so fast..

it's all for the better, since he was in a great deal of pain, physically and mentally. I like to think that he's in a better place now. full of love and caring, and without that heartrending pain. but it's still a loss of incredibly great amount..

at first I didn't want to join the contest, that I had been working so hard for, anymore. but my boyfriend eventually persuaded me to continue. he thought my grandpa wouldn't want us all to stop living because of his passing.

I'm sorry to tell you all this, but I wanted to explain why I have been so absent the past week. so now you know.

I'll try to keep blogging, because I simply love it and it takes my mind off of things. so I'll keep you updated about the contest and the things I still had to tell and show you! hope to talk to you soon.
