Fashion Rage

When it comes to fashion, I admit I follow some trends. But then again, it’s better to go against fashion rage, especially when you have the confidence to do so. Admittedly, I go against fashion rages.

I’m not the girl you would expect to wear what you can exactly find in fashion magazines or whatever mannequins are wearing in boutiques or department stores. I go with what I feel looks or what I like. However, I do take tips from fashion experts, like what looks good for someone like me who is vertically-challenged or a bit flat in the chest. But never will you ever see me wearing clothes just because they’re in fashion. Nope, that’s not just the kind of girl that I am.

Literary Piece: I Liked What I Saw

Author’s Note: I wrote this when I thought I made the right the choice between two people. Turns out I wasn’t totally right about that.

Originally written: October 28, 2009

Everything’s different from how they were in the summer. Before, I relied on what I can see, what opportunity is tangible. Now I only rely on memories and day dreams. Some people would think I would’ve moved on by now and forgotten about you. For some time, I thought I had.

Another boy’s caught my attention and I liked what I saw. I thought maybe he could keep my mind off you, but he wasn’t able to pull the act long enough for me to realize he’ll never be totally able to. That butterfly didn’t make me drop my jaw and watch him fly into my web.

I like what I saw in you—artistry, mystery, talent, confidence. When will I ever have… you?

1661 Most Significant Songs in My Life: No Surprise by Daughtry

Here’s an irrelevant song with which I found calmness when I tried to make sense of confusion I felt. There was a guy I liked and I got to the point where I didn’t know where those feelings really stand.

The lyrics aren’t directly connected, but somehow, when I sing along to the song, I felt like the words are relevant. However, there are some wordings I pick up and connect with my life. “You and I will be a tough act to follow…” “It came out like a river as I let it out when I thought that I wouldn’t know how…” “Felt so good to let it go of it now…” Most of all, the melody and Chris Daughtry’s voice gave me a feel-good feeling… I just let it go and lost myself in the song.

1661 Most Significant Songs in My Life: Easy Life by Finger Eleven

“‘Nothing to lose’ is not ‘Nothing to be’”.

I found bravery in those words when I was at a point where I must throw caution to the wind. It was a striking lyric I got to relate to as I tried to liven my spirit after taking a risk of telling someone how I feel about him.

I had nothing to lose. The song taught me that.

1661 Most Significant Songs in My Life: Everytime by Britney Spears

When I was eleven or twelve years old, this song, “Everytime” by Britney Spears, got my creative imagination working. The vulnerable song had a matching haunting music video and somewhere sometimes in my twelve-year old mind, I thought up of my own video. It was nothing tangible, just a figment of my imagination.
