Hormones have been unforgiving lately. It's a matter of being depressed and happy within a span of an hour. I must be bipolar just like the weather, hahaha!
These days, I can't help but vent things on shopping. If not actual shopping, I frequent Parfois' website for some window shopping (and scouting possible future buys). I am so in love with their stuff--quality but not pricey. If I were to disregard sanity, I will probably buy a Parfois bag every month. Oh, and accessories, too!
Also been checking out two fashion bloggers, The Walking Recessionista and Tricia Will Go Places. (The latter was embroiled in some controversy months ago, but I might digress.) I don't really follow fashion blogs simply because I find it tedious just keeping up with these girls' outfits. I mean, I am into fashion, but I don't believe it has to require much effort. Plus, I don't see the point of actually chronicling what you wear every single day. There are better things to do. But, these two blogs that I have recently been following are quite different because not all entries are about shoes and bags and accessories. More importantly, the things they wear are "achievable"--outfits that I can imagine myself wearing. I don't like fashion bloggers who go to Cambodia and visit the Angkor Wat in heels and lacy dresses, and label that ensemble as "casual". Casual, seriously?!? Heels in Angkor Wat? Is that even practical? Can you even walk in those on uneven grounds? Plus, Angkor Wat is a historical place meant to be experienced, not a catwalk that pulls attention to what you're wearing! I mean, sure, you can still be fashionable but practical and realistically sane, right?
Anyway, I'm quite disappointed with myself for not following through with my pursuit of photography. I promised to buy a light and soft box for my birthday last April, but it's already July and I still don't have lights. I must prioritize that, I must! Photography is something that I really want to be good at, and I really have to get behind the lens more often. I think I can blame Instagram and camera phones for this complacency, haha! I sometimes find myself settling for my camera phone instead of bringing my DSLR, justifying that it's not the machine that makes for a good photo, but the person operating that machine. While to a certain degree it's true, I know that actually bringing and using a decent camera is key to honing photography skills. Aack, I have to kick myself hard and resume my pursuit!
And then there's the issue of my other blog, which I barely update. I used to have the excuse of not having Internet connection at home, hence the sparse entries. But now that I have a decent connection 24/7, what's my excuse, eh? Pfft!
It's raining again, and I'm stuck at home as of this writing because I'm not feeling well enough to go to work. I decided to just telecommute (and boy, this is a lot less stressful, I can do this for the rest of my life if only it were allowed!). I wonder what I'll preoccupy myself with in between work emails and daydreams.
I wish it were already Friday again.
