If I were to have a daily uniform, something I would wear every day for my whole life and not get sick of, this would be it:

The outfit comes down with a total amount of PHP 178,110 or $3562. (Sorry, but the Chanel and the Christian Loubutin obviously made a big impact on the price. Hahaha). To see the break down of the prices, see my polyvore at http://www.polyvore.com/uniform/set?id=10658677.

After the career guidance period we had a while ago, I suddenly got confused on what course to take.

Originally, I was already serious on my path of Architecture but there was something with Ms. Mildred's powerpoint that got me thinking. This specific point was when she mentioned that the career we should take should be something we like. Something we're good at. Something we have the talent for. The first thing that came into my head was fashion and design. Obviously I have the passion for that career. I know I will do well in it and that I will have fun pursuing it, but there is some kind of barrier which keeps me away from this career.

My heart says fashion but my head says architecture. As of now, I am questioning so much things. As much as I want to pursue fashion, there are several things that are bothering me about the industry.

First of all, as I always say, noone really gets rich for being a designer or whatnot. If I choose this career, I may enjoy everything about it, but there will just be such a small chance of me being successful in it. Considering all the fashion designers nowadays, it will be really hard to compete with them. Also, fashion (especially here in our third world country) isnt that popular. People like going around in jeans and a shirt. Basically, I cant assure success if I go into this career. Being on the subject of architecture on the other hand, has more benefits especially since only a few are able to graduate with degrees in this career. Also, it is a very complex course so graduating from such will bring big respect to my career.


Second, as much as I love fashion, I just find it so unstable. You never know what's going to happen to your business unlike in architecture wherein the things you create are TIMELESS. As what they say in Project Runway, "One day you're in, the next day you're out." Fashion takes a lot of hard work and creativity. You always have to look for new ideas since according to Karl Lagerfeld, fashion is so ugly that we have to change it every how many months.


In architecture, buildings are created which never really go out of trend. You wont always have to keep up with the trends because no matter what, houses and industrial buildings will always be classics. Also, unlike fashion, houses and shelters, to be specific, are a necessity. Fashion is basically a luxury.

From the beginning, I have always thought that architecture was going to be it. But now, I am left in a puzzled state. Should I choose the career I love and adore? Or should I choose the career that I know will put me in a stable position after I graduate?

Time is running short and I have to come up with a decision sooner or later because after all, all of this decision making will determine my future.

I ordered another something from Multiply last Thursday. Its a pair of sunglasses made after the increasingly popular Chanel 5018 half tinted sunnies.

Lately, Mary-Kate Olsen and Nicole Richie have been seen sporting these babies. The Chanel 5018 made its debut in the Spring/Summer collection of 2007. It's been a while, yet its only becoming popular now. The impact that celebrities can make on the fashion industry, eh?

They usually retail at $475 but I got mine for so much less because they were just inspired by the design and obviously not branded Chanel.

What got me with this pair was the unique-ness of it. You dont normally see sunglasses that are half tinted so I was really astounded by it. I'm not exactly about the practicality when it comes to things like this. As long as they're one of a kind (and RARE), I dont really care if it fits me well or not. Haha!

Aw, I cant wait till the package comes. I already wanna see the actual piece!

CIAO!

Sorry about this post, but its going to be one MESSY one. Get a first hand look at my dresser only here at my blog.

THIS was my dresser BEFORE I did this project. Its a Home Economics project we have wherein we have to clean a certain area of our house using the 5-S Philosophy (Sort, Set things in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain! -- I officially memorize it now!). We had to document it and write a reflection paper about it and since I already had the pictures, I thought, why not post them up on my blog?

I know right, my dresser was the perfect place to do this project. Before going into any further details, I would just like to appologize for what I was wearing. I wasnt originally going to post these on my blog so I wasnt exactly that well groomed. I seem so stressed in the pictures. I think its the cleaning.

Anyway, I started out SORTING the stuff I thought werent useful anymore and those which I was unsure about. (I didnt have a "STAY" box like what miss had because there were too much things that had to stay and they definitely werent going to fit in one small box)

I found this project really amusing not only because I was able to get rid of all these clutter on my dresser that I havent been using for years but also because I was able to find old things that I used to collect when I was a kid such as these teddy bear collectibles that came with those Yan Yan snack packs before.

I was also able to find this keychain with a picture of me, my mom, and my sister in it. I was around Grade 4/5 during this time and wow, I look so different!

Anyway, after clearing out all the unecessary items I had, I started to fix the stuff that were to stay in my dresser.

They're so PINK !

These are my chunky necklaces


My bangles and ballers


Necklaces with pendants


The accessory I can never live without: SUNGLASSES!


and last but not the least, my earrings. (Though I never use them because I only use one pair of earrings for all occassions)

I really dont go for fancy earrings. I dont know, maybe I was really just not made for them.

After fixing everything (and cleaning, ofcourse), I finally arranged everything in its place. And.. TADA!

Boy does that look so much better than a while ago!
