Happy Birthday to Me

from Santasvillage.com

Another year has spun for me. A lot more lessons learned, more music listened to, more steps walked.
Today I'm just trying to chill out. Gelato, cheesecake and pizza in hand, listening to Jhene Aiko and Fka Twigs, trying to just sort out the rest of the day and also the rest of the year. Thinking a big &^#$& you to some things and just trying to soothe my overactive mind. Sometimes I think its a curse to be so creative and also not wall yourself off from people in the process.
Also still looking forward to my second/new job too.

A trusted individual and even the person who reviews my portfolio tells me to chill out and to be kind to myself. Like, damn... have I been that hard on myself and stressing that much lately? Its not like I don't have a reason not to, but gah...
Well, I'm gonna find something to watch or listen to and just do a lil something productive, like completing 50 million more job apps.

The Diary of an Ugly Duckling

I've been writing for many years now and online blogging about my journey into JFashion for about 7 years. That is a lot of words. A lot of characters. A lot of pages and I am well aware this post may just be too text-heavy to read for some...

From being a glasses with a cord attached, gifted program, A and B honour roll ugly duckling student,to being obsessed with alternative and Jfashion in my young adult life, at least with fashion, things have changed. I switched out baggy male jeans and t-shirts for slimmer skinny jeans and black hoodies like some emo kid to switching it out again to look like a walking block of colour... but of course at times wearing mostly all black.

Fashion Walk

The past two fashion walks were fun stuff!

 Couldn't help the rainy day running on a fashionable parade, but one thing does irk me. At the Harajuku Fashion Walk, a few picture takers were quite rude to some of the people who were left over from the Walk, and I was not too pleased.

 You don't have to be that frantic for a photo. And show some respect.
People like that tire me out because are there any manners??

whew.... But aside from that.... I look forward to more fashion walks in the Windy City. 

Until next time!
