WEDNESDAY RAMBLING – TOTALLY UNRELATED

Two more weeks till I drown myself in seclusion, find peace at the four walls of Pak Tai and enjoy the quiet streets of old Central. The past two months have been crazy and my fluctuating weight is not helping at all.

Totally unrelated to my usual posts on menswear and dressing well – I’m stopping myself from turning into a sloppy dirt bag and finally learned the difference between someone who flatters you and someone who compliments you. Someone who spends money on you and someone who invests in you. Someone who views you as a property and someone who views you properly. Someone who lusts after you and someone who loves you.

Knocks head on the wall. Don’t mind me – next post please! Now playing: Mermaids by the Jinja Safari.

PS: Ingrid, Danelle, Marbee, Sarah, Teddy, Akkunda, Rafa, Mark and Pia, you guys are the best!

GET HAPPY AND LUCY IN THE SKY - eclectic at its best

Her line has paved the way to genuine happiness with inspirations from Gustav Klimt, Salvador Dali and Filipino artist, Pacita Abad.

Get Happy and Lucy in the Sky evoke a sense of happiness and pride, as well as appreciation for local ingenuity and craftsmanship. She gives her designs the flexibility and versatility that appeals to the young, fun, and whimsical customer, as well as to the more mature, urbane sophisticates.

TRAPPED BETWEEN GRAY AND A RAY OF RED PLASTIC ICONIC PLATES

Getting more and more confused. As I get older, I seem to get more and more confused. Things were much more clearer back then.

As a kid I knew where I was going, I'm totally lost! More vulnerable now than back then... [ Argh, can't stand the feeling]

It's been two weeks, and things can be better, I've learned a valuable lesson this week, always follow up with the promises I make to myself [ Thanks to Carlo Rufino - hey Paul Smith Guy, give me some discounts!]. For some reason whenever I don't, life tells me it was wrong and it punishes me for lying to myself and not following what I really want. Don't let other things side track you from doing what you want. Right now, I just have to make the best of it and remember the reason I am doing right now - the end result will be very rewarding.

Well, It is about half way over, and I've been up and down. Overall I have to say the experience is good for me, as are vegetables are good for me though I may not like it sometimes .

Sometimes people can't stand me. How I see others, I see the good except when they're being negative, but for the most part I'd like to believe I am open enough to accept all the personalities I encounter. I do hate negative people but only when they are being negative. Some people here just dismiss others because of personality differences, or don't have enough in common...Grow the FUCK UP......................

Been up for 48 hours, still thinking of brightly colored flip flops and marbles...missing those days when paper planes and paper boats were still all over me - sunshine path, GONE!

GET HAPPY @ www.GETHAPPYONLINE.com
(family support here!)

My mom and my aunt are a bit of a jewelry savant: I think it's all very lovely and appreciate its artistry and chic, but I rarely wear any except for necklaces with personal significance like the gold one mom bought for me in Bangkok and a Keneth Cole leather strap bracelet and which I seem to collect in ever-quirkier droves. While I know nothing about gemstones, metals, history or what have you, I am beguiled by the lethal combination of charm and bite, and these GET HAPPY by Happy David have plenty of both in spades... check it out!
