RIP Daul Kim

First, there was Mr. Johnny Delgado, a premiere icon of Philippine Cinema. He fought against cancer. I just recently found out he's actually the husband of Laurice Guillen (actress/director).

Now, it's Kim Daul.

...

I couldn't believe the tweet I got from OmonaTheyDidn't and AllKPop. Was this the Daul Kim of fashion? The one whose pictures I've been praising a few days ago?

Kim Daul is one of my favorites, primarily bec. she's Asian. I always get excited when I see Asian models walk the runway or pose for high fashion shoots. Her, Han Jin, Du Juan, Emma Pei, Tao Okamoto... I am so proud of them.

Why? I do hope it's not another cause of model suicide. But it was written in the articles that suicide was suspected. She was found dead in her Paris apartment.

I just found her blogspot tonight. I thought, if I could read a few of her thoughts, it would somehow give me a fragment to understand why she'd want to end her life. It's amusing how she always starts her titles with "say hi to..."

But there are some entries that don't begin with "say hi to". The title of this one entry is just a "."


-what i do is not a bad occupation
someone is always willing to pay.

+i would find it

tiring.

-oh no , its quite ________,
almost peaceful

no need to believe in either side

or any side

there is no courage.

theres only yourself.

the belief is your own precision

Oh Daul... I hope you're at peace now.
