It's Just Recess

Yes, I also feel the pain.



The pain this global crisis is giving us, makes me tighten the already tight belt I am currently wearing. This trend called the belted waist look has been elevated to a higher but agonizing level. Literal na talaga ang paghihigpit ng ating mga sinturon.


Juice ko, sa hirap ng panahon ngayon, mahirap nang kumain kahit tatlong beses sa isang araw. Mabuti na nga lang at nagda-diet pa ako kaya normal na sa akin ang hindi kumain ng buong araw. The one thing though that I could not resist but I’m forced to resist it is whenever we go to the malls and see our favourite items on sale.

That is total torture. My heart bleeds.

Ok exaggerated na. Hahaha!

Despite this global crisis, the one thing that makes me proud of myself as a gay person is our natural eye for fashion.

I mean dressing up, mixing and matching clothes, and styling what’s available from our resources without sacrificing personal style.

Not all of us possess it but we gays are actually born with that artistic talent. It’s in our royal blood to live in style. Kahit boring ang style mo, it’s still style. Kahit overly accessorized ka at malabong pumasok sa best dressed list, it’s still style. LOL

This crisis will test our inborn skill as a stylista. Hindi na kailangan pang bumili ng bago or current pieces just to make yourself presentable and still in the spotlight.

Mabuti na lang I already own classic pieces like a button down white shirts, denim pants and shirts that are timeless items. Classic may be boring but it’s always safe. If you want to make it current, just accessorize it with what’s in the new and voila, fasyon ka na naman!

Dito sa bukid, mas favourable sa akin kasi people are so not particular with how you look. As long as you come to the office presentably, ok na.
I pity my bestfriend KC kasi he is forced to be more presentable than usual because his work demands it. Mabuti sana kung sindami ng damit sa Elle closet ang aming mga damit eh hindi naman. Kelangan ilabas ang pagiging creative and resourceful.

Shopping wise, hindi rin kailangan bumili sa retail, lalo na if it’s on sale. Chances are, hindi na ito uso.

First of all, trends fade. After a month or two, wala na ito sa uso and it will just end up at the back of your closet. It is more wiser to shop for specialty and classic pieces but make sure it goes a long way. In my case, I always visualize what’s already in my possession and whenever I find something interesting I always make sure that I will be able to use it with multiple items for multiple looks on multiple occasions. Seeing the big SALE sign is truly attractive but it is never good to buy on impulse. Think think think para walang sisihan sa huli. I know, been there done that. LOL

During these times though, kahit yung mga nabanggit ko sa taas is not so helpful. Much better if iwasan na lang muna ang paggasta if it’s not a necessity talaga.

Yes, clothing is a basic need but sa panahon ngayon, mas importante pa rin ang food at job security.

This thing on fashion recession is a big thing.

It should not be ignored.

Afterall it is our only hope in making this world a better place to live.

How?

Because if we look good, people get attracted.

When people get attracted, lalo na yung mga type natin, chances are we might get good sex.

And if we get good sex, we are in a good mood.

And if we are in a good mood, we are happy.

Happy people do good things.

Good things make this world a better place to live.

A better place to live means a better economy.

Better economy means it’s good for us to spend our hard earned money in shopping.


Hahahaha!
