Hey everyone!

To those people out there who happen to check on my Deviant pulse from  time to time, long time no see! Yes, I am still alive! It's been a while since I last wrote a journal, and I think that now is a good time to just write something new, just for a change. So, here's a little update on my life at the moment:

  In my last journal I was preparing to go to the USA, that was about three years ago. Now I am already a second-year University student in the UK! I am studying International Relations with Economics, and the pressure is immense - a lot to study for, many assignments to complete, plus I need to find a job and an internship. So yes, I am studying the Art of International Politics right now, although I probably won't get to work in the field of politics. Nevertheless, power exercised internationally is a very interesting phenomenon, and I am quite conent that I get to explore it in depth.

   Now I am preparing to go to Hamburg for a Model United Nations simulation, where I hopefully will represent Thailand in ASEAN :)  I am really excited, as I find East Asian affairs deeply compelling and sometimes even controversial. Also I will be going to Oxford this weekend, for another MUN, this time in the role of South Korea, and next year I will probably go to Warwick :)  Yes, I know, after a paragraph of describing how busy I am, now follows a paragraph of how much spare time and money I have to travel around and visit MUNs :D  But I highly recommend attending such events, as it broadens the perspective and worldview and also enhances public speaking skills :)  So yeah, study, study, play League of Legends, go to MUNs, and then study again. That's how I would describe my life at the moment, or at least that's how it should be like :D (I do party occasionally though)

  For those of you who haven't noticed yet, I am not a real artist, or a photographer, or anything really here in Deviantart. I have made a few attempts at creating a poem, I have uploaded a few photos, and even a Valentine for my best friend. But it is all child's play, nothing serious, and if you happen to favourite any of the mediocre stuff I have produced I will be OVERJOYED! I am not in deviantart to create or share, but rather to collect amazing pieces of art in my "Favourites" folder, and to befriend interesting artists. I appreciate both traditional and digital art, and I hope that one day when I have a lot of money, I will be able to financially boost all those Deviants who have immense talents, but are struggling with money :)  Every single piece in my Favourites both reflects my taste in art, and also holds a special place in my heart, as each piece evokes particular images and emotions in me, and I value that symbolism and evocative power greatly :)  

  So, to those that would like to thank me for favouring your piece - you are welcome! I probably love your art and appreciate the beauty, uniqueness, and eloquence you produce! Keep up the good work, and send me a note if you want to chat ;)

   That's all from me for now, please take care and don't forget to always be positive and share some love :)

Hey guys ^__^ Yup, I'm still here :D  
Remember my scholarship from ASSIST, for an year abroad???  Well, I'll be studying in New York for an year ^.^

On the 15th of August I'll be flying to Boston. I'll spend like a week travelling round Connecticut and New York with my new classmates until I finally visit my temporary host family! They're really nice, outgoing and fun people and they have great children!!! Later on I'll go to live on campus while still keeping in touch with the host family  ^___^

The school is The Masters School - www.mastersny.org - in Dobbs Ferry, New York. It's a private school, and very expensive one, but thanks to the scholarship I'll spend 10 months there ^___^  I'll also be travelling all round the USA. So all of you who live in the US and who know me via deviantart - please contact me in the US so that we can meet and have fun together!!!

Right now I'm "a bit" nervous cause I have to make the last preparations and to say goodbye to my dearest ones, but I'm also very excited!!!

Wish me luck and contact me as soon as possible! I'll be in New York!!! My e-mail's brandon_2@abv.bg

And for those who thank me for the favourites - each piece of my favourites' gallery is a piece of my heart. Sometimes I delete the favourites that I no longer find beautiful or interesting or just... not close to my heart.... But some of the greatest deviations will last forever

Love, Peace, Light and Happiness ^__^

Hey guys! Remember the scholarship competition that I took part in? There were four rounds total - a first-round essay; documents completion; a test and finally - the interview. Well, a classmate of mine, Desi, won one of the scholarships for one year studying in England... Aand, as I finally accepted the thought that I won't be going anywhere.... I RECEIVED AN E-MAIL WHICH SAID THAT I AM ACCEPTED FOR ONE YEAR OF STUDYING IN THE USA! It was.... incredible.... For now I'll just have to fill out some documents, revise my personal essay and send some informal pictures... Yet, in Bulgaria the first, second and third of March are holidays so.... I'll have to wait till the post office opens >.< Soo, everyone who's from America - write to me and tell me your state and town, I may be able to visit you!
Thank you!

Ok, here's how it looks like - I through to the interview part of my scholarship contest that was just yesterday. Generally I think I did good, but the problem was that at certain stages of the interview I made a few mistakes....

Firstly, I was the firts to be asked questions aand I couldn't quite understand how mucj I'm allowed to speak or if the jury will ask me more questions. In fact, i began awfully, incapable of describing my hobbies and interests. Then, when I was asked about my favourite philosopher, since I confirmed that my favourite subjects were philosophy and psychology, I couldn't answer!!! I simply didn't have a favourite philosopher.

Then, suddenly, one of my "partners" in the interview was told that he was no longer considered a contestant.... Awful.... After that I and a girl called Maria had to answer all sorts of questions, from "What do you want to do after high school?" to "If offered, would you agree to take a pill that will eliminate your need to sleep?". THere were many questions and gradually I opened up, even started to joke. I think they liked me, and I myself am somekind calm. But the problem is that Maria's answers were much... convincing. Also, I don't really know if I really deserve to win one of the scholarships as I am almost no-one. I only go to my Drama Club, which by the way is a way for me to give vent to my feelings. At least I'm a good actor... But for some reason I am kinda... depressed.... Partly because I couldn't give my best during the interview and partly because right now I have to supress most of my feelings and thoughts... I need love ya know... Some of my friends, very few, know what it is alll about...

Overall, the interview was not ok, hardly satisfactory, could be much, much better. Aand... the results will come out in one month's time so... I'll be quite nervous during this period... I am kinda exhausted, emotionally, I simply want the stress to go away....

Soo, wish me good luck... although I already know the results...

And for those who thank me for the favourites - each piece of my favourites' gallery is a piece of my heart. Sometimes I delete the favourites that I no longer find beautiful or interesting or just... not close to my heart.... But some of the greatest deviations will last forever

Love, Peace, Light and Happiness... if possible....

P.S. Usually I'm not that depressed, but this time I just needed to share....
