**Food For Thought By Renata Fernandez**

While speaking to a teacher in class, I looked around the classroom, and noticed that some people were looking at me, and listening to the conversations I was having with the teacher. And because of this situation an idea popped up in my mind: “There are two types of people, those who are secondary characters-spectators, and the protagonists.
The “spectators” are secondary characters, not in our lives, but in their own lives. How can someone be a secondary character in their own life, you may ask, and the answer is the way they act. This type of persona, Live their life by only observing someone else’s life. In a conversation, they only give their opinion, about a subject being brought up by someone else. The never dare making their own statement. They ask around about other people’s life, and talk about someone else’s actions. If they do not learn about someone else’s gossip, they admit how bored they are.
On the other hand, a protagonist, creates their own statement, they listen to other people’s ideas and decisions, but in the end of the day decide for themselves. They create new statements, even if that meant going against everyone else’s thoughts. A protagonist follows trends, because they actually like them and wants to follow them, and if they don’t like them they create their own. They are neither selfish nor egocentric, but they do concentrate on themselves including the people they love and care about. They mind their own business, and if you ask them about a specific detail, on someone else’s life, they might not be able to answer.

I am sincerely sorry, if I bored you , or annoyed you .. but I thought of you , when I wrote this. PLEASE DO NOT EVER BECOME A SECONDARY CHARACTER, although we should not judge them badly because also, thanks to them we are PROTAGONISTS !! ☺ ☺ ☺
I LOVE YOU !

Ok I know I havent blogged since end of July or early August but I've been busy and i felt no one was actually spending time to read or look at the stuff I posted. But after a couple requests i decided i'll get back to it and there is no better way then doing so by RENATA FERNANDEZ ==> my wife :). More stuff is yet to come apart from fashion and music i decided to post up photographs. Tell Me If You Enjoy

Ambush S/S 2009 : Fara-Oh's

P:S The Title is A Wordplay for Pharaoh cuz my second name is Fara ;-)

Adidas SLVR Fall 2009: Who Said Adidas Wasn't Classy?

Ok, I didn't even know there was a "black label" version of Adidas until i saw the SLVR collection. As weird as it may sounds, i don't like sneakers or loose t-shirts and all that type of "urban" clothing. However when you are riding the line between preppy/classy and urban you get very nice results. Just look at Kanye West's collab with Louis Vuitton. So Adidas SLVR is, to me, the perfect example that clothes can be dope without coming from a very high-end label.

Stussy Fall 2009 : You Can Pay For School But You Can't Buy Class

I'm Not A T-Shirt fan but more of a shirt connoisseur haha. Nah, These T's are Dope. Good News they only cost like 30$ or something i'm not sure about the price. Look them up on the web and get their stuff if you wanna look fresh ;-)

**NEW** Creating The Brand

A new footwear company coming out of Germany, Creating the Brand was launched by two media design students who along the way have welcomed commentary and insights into the design process. One of their first models is seen here with the FLAEK. The shoe features a clean, near seamless toebox in a high-top form. Contrasting materials are few and far in between, however the tongues are interchangeable

Soldier In The Making : Hugo Valente

Hugo Mario Valente was born on June 17th 1992. He first started off playing soccer as his father did and almost joined the national team's training camp: Clairefontaine. However over the years, he developed a stronger love for Motorsports and in particular driving go-karts. As the monarch caterpillar turns into a butterfly, hugo went from go-karting to Autosport Academy and now to Formule Renault 2.0 . I post this article to my blog because this young driver is the-next-thing out there believe me, black man's intuition ;-). This season, he already won Best Rookie. While he still raced in Autosport Academy, On November 5th 2008, Hugo scored an incredible victory after starting from the 9th spot. Hugo manages to juggle between high school and the racing, so to us slackers that's a big slap in the face. He listens to a lot of Hip-Hop and parties in the hottest places. So to all Hevin-ists, stay tuned for more on this Soldier In The Making.

Food For Thought

So its 3:17 AM, i took a cold shower on a hot summer night to find some sleep but instead i found food for thought. This phrase came to my mind a couple days ago You Are Who You Can Be. I wont copyright this because allthough i belive i invented it, i must have heard it somewhere else. So these words probably translate the mood I've been in since a week or so. I see inspiration everywhere and anywhere for anything i want to do. And nothing can get in my way for this. ergh... i'm gonna start speaking for all of you out there that will read this (so far its only 2 people haha). Whatever gets in between you and your goal CAN be jumped over... picture this, you are Usain Bolt running a 110m hurdles and every hurdle is an obstacle. The Hurdle just materializes haters, money or anything that you might think will stop you from that finish line a.k.a success. So Yea, You Are Who You Can Be and dnt let anybody tell you "you can't do this" or anything will smith might have said while pursuing happiness. And If Anyone asks you why you are doing this, why you are designing these clothes, why you are making this beat... you don't need an explanation but simply say "Because I Can".

Good Night World... Hello Dreamland :-)

Inspirations : Stefano D. Agostinelli

The source of my blog's name : HEVIN.... He came up with this, Stefano and I met in the fall of 2004 while I studied at Le Rosey. The friendship grew but was ended by his death, the day before my sweet sixteen, on June 13th 2008. He inspired me (along with other people to start this blog) because through the 4 years i lived with him in boarding school he never backed off in front of any obstacle and god knows there were plenty. Anything from journalism to soccer was within reach of his talent. The name HEVIN was invented by him and he was working on a project that i had the chance to see and give my opions on, it was spectacular. Through this blog i guess i'm just trying to make his legacy live on. HEVIN is an acronym for Heaven, Exclusive, Virtue, Intelect and Nirvana. In this blog, i will post everything that catches my eyes and hopefully yours as well. Enjoy.... and remember You Are Who You Can Be

R.I.H (Rest In Hevin) Stefano
