I'M A JUMPER

"HOPE HANGS ON SUCH A THREAD AS THIS."

Forgive my non-stop ranting but I've been so frustrated with finding a job that will allow me to do the things I want. I know I called myself out in my last post (and quite a long time since) but I just wanted to remind myself not to give up. They say good things come to those who wait and I'd want to wait LONG ENOUGH to say that its actually true. Maybe things don't pan out the way we imagine them to because we quit too early...right? Right?

At the very least, I can still acknowledge things that inspire me. I just hope that I'll find what I'm looking for soon...or rather, when the right time comes.

KIDSWEAR MEETS STREETWEAR.

This is too cute! According to the article at TheCoolHunter, kidswear designers have found a way to consummate the marriage of kidswear and streetwear. Its legit when you find yourself wanting to wear the kids' clothes.

One thing's for sure then...when I have kids, I'll dress them fresh to death!

I'M CALLING MYSELF OUT

I've been trying to update this blog on the regular but the stupid firewall at the office has blocked blogspot off and has forced me to give in to laziness and procrastination. I'm finally updating it now cause I've been home in bed for 3 days after having my wisdom teeth pulled out. Gosh, son of a biatch it hurts like hell and the stitches are soooo uncomfortable. So anyway, I'm trying to use my "vacation" wisely so I've been thinking, WHAT IN THE WORLD COULD I POSSIBLY DO WITH MY LIFE?

So here I am, stuck in bed and trying to sort out and understand the randomness of my scattered brain. I started with listing down all the things that make me happy and the things I like to do so hopefully I can streamline everything into a career that'll make me do all of these things. Let's see, there's:

FASHION

TRAVEL

FOOD

New York Pizza

MUSIC

for lack of a better photo: the Grammy Award

So I'm calling myself out and a year from now, I better be doing something that's going to make me enjoy all this goodness. What will I be doing and where will I be on June 1, 2010?

That's right Christel, I'm calling YOU out.
MAKE IT HAPPEN.

JUST FOR KICKS

So I had to do this thing for something (how vague, I know..) and my good friend Cam offered her house and photographer friend to help me. It just so happened she was due for a real shoot the next day and had these goodies (read: Spring 2009 RTW Louis Vuitton) at her house waiting to be sorted out and packed. (SWEET!!!) So I helped myself and wore this:

And then, a few days ago, I was going through ohnotheydidnt and found this photo of Ciara rockin' the same blazer at the Black Hennessey Launch. I remembered those "Who Rocked It Better" sections in magazines. Can someone say trippy? LOL

TOUCHDOWN

"Brooklyn is in the building..hell we own the building! Ya'll are just payin' rent, know what I'm saying?"

So here I am, a few years later, resurrecting my cathartic ways. Looking at my previous blog, I realized life seasons do come and go. It may not be as visible as sunnier days or falling leaves but they change when you're ready for the next one. I'd like to think that this brand new season is going to be full of pleasant surprises, unexpected twists and turns, lessons learned and dreams fulfilled. I promised myself to leave all the things that bring me down behind and let new cycles and chapters to begin, like for real this time!

Its the reset button to my iPod, the restart option of my MAC and the Wipe Handheld selection of my Crackberry (okay,well you get the picture) -- Welcome to the pilot episode! MOB LIVING, BABY!!!

Another one bites the dust.
