Watch and Learn

Alas my resolve to blog regularly is weak. But it isn't due to my laziness to get down and write something. My time is being used up watching video tutorials on YouTube. Yes, I'm one of those who can stay glued for hours, watching video after video after video, even if I keep complaining that it's buffeting way too slowly. But it all starts when I have a need for some quick help on how to do something and there are always videos for just what I needed at that time.Then it stops becoming a need but an obsession to learn more and more.

For most people, they would just head out to the stores to buy what they need. But I love DIM (Do It Myself). it just makes me so happy and fulfilled doing and being successful in a project even with all the hard work involved. And especially when there is hard work involved!

I have some successful projects which I chose to DIM, instead of buying.

An Attempt At Fashion Blogging

It started with me having this impulsive idea to try fashion blogging. Lately, I have been in the mood to really plan my outfits even though the only place I was going to was to school. I think everyone just has those moments when we feel like dressing up and times when it's going to be jeans and t-shirt for a long period. The country is very much laid-back and you can dress as casually as you like and because of this, I fear that I would adapt completely and be drab. That should never, ever happen.

Another reason for this idea is that lately I've discovered some really good places to shop. For quite some time all I've been seeing are Korean clothes which are mass produced. But I've been venturing into unknown territories and came across really good finds. So my blog would now feature clothes I wore, shops where I bought them from, restaurants and just about anything I want to write about. Hopefully, since my focus is now on fashion, I'd be more diligent in writing. If the establishments I mention have websites, I'll also be posting the links.

I wasn't wearing any make up here as I was planning to apply it in the car. But I remembered that it would be night-time when church ended so we hurriedly took these photos.
