Friends Embrace My Madness

This is my first time to blog, and this is my first post. I started to like fashion from reading other blogs, looking at different pictures and watching ANTM, from then on I became inspired to dress up and express myself through the clothes, shoes and bags that I wear.

I would like to share how I was inspired, and hope I can inspire everyone who reads this blog too.

I also like music, so I will be posting my updates on music (local and foreign), and covers of songs that touch my heart.

I will also be posting about food and travel, because I also like to cook, eat and go to various places.

For my first look I decided to make my work an inspiration, I added color and flavor to the usual corporate look, making it youthful and vibrant. 

 The gold captoe flats are bought from Flipped Out Cockatoos at the Supersale Bazaar for 600 pesos, these are perfect for formal, casual, girly and rocker chick looks, it goes well with almost everything, so its a good buy for those who are looking for the perfect flats. Also, these flats are foldable, so you can carry it anytime inside your bag . 

 Cream Lace Top is from The Dollhouse that I bought for 275 pesos at The Supersale Bazaar held at the World Trade Center, I paired it with a tan bandage skirt that at I bought from Bread and Butter at SM Muntinlupa for 200 pesos. 
 I got this rainbow leopard bag from Queen Street at the Supersale Bazaar for a sale price of 550 pesos (originally at 750 pesos), this bag is so roomy yet stylish, which fits my need for a space for all my stuffs and my personality. Queen Street  is a great store, because not only they sell affordable bags, they only make bags at 1 piece per design, so you will be assured you won't get that awkward moment of seeing someone else that has the same bag design as yours. But if you really want a particular design which is unfortunately bought by another person, they accept re-making of a design for an additional price.
 Bracelets, Rings and Earrings are also bought from QTPi at the Supersale Bazaar
Stud Metal Collar Necklace is also bought from the Supersale Bazaar, I didn't get the name of the stall, but you can visit the next bazaar so you can buy all these great and affordable stuffs.



Next schedule for the Supersale Bazaar is in October, I will update you guys about the exact dates on my future posts, but for now, just save up to prepare for the ultimate shopping spree experience. 


The title of this post is Friends Embrace My Madness because I would like to thank my friends who supported me in making this blog possible, they've been taking my pictures and has been my critiques and advisers. I love you guys! 








I also would like to thank my sister Jemmarie for making me go to the Supersale Bazaar, where I spent more than what I planned, but got satisfied with all that I bought. 
Being there is like being a child in a candy store, hope you can experience what I felt being there. 

Chasing Pavements




Chasing Tables has touched my heart not only because of its musicality but because of its lyrics.


Chasing Pavements by Adele (Cover by Jamie Nueca)


I will tell my interpretation and opinion about this song and how it is related to Adele's experience.

"I've made up my mind
Don't need to think it over 
If I'm wrong, I am right
Don't need to look no further 
This ain't lust, I know this is love"

This part of the verse tells that the woman is certain that what she is feeling about the man was true love and not just lust.

"But if I tell the world 
I'll never say enough 
'Cause it was not said to you
And that's exactly what I need to do
If I end up with you"

She wants to say a lot to the man, and wants to say it when the time is right. If she told it to everyone except him, its not enough, because it will still be a burden in her heart unless she finally told these to the man.

Chorus:

"Should I give up 
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere
Or would it be a waste 
Even if I knew my place
Should I leave it there?
Should I give up 
Or should I just keep chasing pavements?
Even if it leads nowhere"

The woman's love for the man is full of uncertainty, because she knows that she is the only one loving, she doesn't know when the man will finally love her. She is asking herself if she should continue to wait for the man to finally realize her worth, uncertain if there will be really a time that this will happen, or should she should stop hoping and move on.

"I build myself up 
And fly around in circles 
Waiting as my heart drops 
And my back begins to tingle 
Finally could this be it?"

The woman gets herself into the right frame of mind and
summons energy (1)
But continues to love the man (2)
Waiting until she loses hope/ feel greatly deppressed from waiting (3)
Or until she grows old (4)
Hoping the time she's been waiting for will come

The song was inspired by an incident Adele had with a former boyfriend of six months. At 6am, after learning he had cheated on her, she went to the bar he was at and punched him in the face. After being thrown out, Adele walked down the street alone and thought to herself, "What is it you're chasing? You're chasing an empty pavement." She sang it into, while recording it, on her mobile phone and arranged the chords when she got home.

What I will advise to the people, who are like the character in the song, chasing pavements, is that don't waste your time/energy/life chasing what doesn't want to be yours. Your life is valuable. you are valuable. Realize that there are many people other than him/her who loves you, you don't have to squeeze yourself to someone who doesn't even love you/ doesn't see you worth. 

Learn to appreciate what you have rather than chasing what you don't have.
