eevs san lorant. YSL for short. haha. nakaka LSS yung name niya. Yves Saint Laurent...
he's ok. di pako familiar sa works niya. i should be familiar by now pero mas madali sana kung may magreregalo sa akin nung book na may pictures ng mga damit na trademark ng bawat sikat na designer. nasa wishlist ko ang Fashion ni Taschen just because it was recommended. kung may mabuting nilalang na magreregalo sakin nun, magiging masaya ako. whee!
i wish i had a catchy name... yung tipong masabi lang isang beses ng isang tao maaalala mo na. or something interesting enough, like YSL, that you wouldn't forget it even if you're not familiar with their works. buti pa si monique lhuillier tunog french ang pangalan. galing. di halatang pinoy. apir.

sizzling haute
there are two kinds of fashion: haute couture and pret-a-porter. may mga symbols sa taas ng letters pero siyempre tinatamad nako lagyan. pampaarte lang yun sakin. mga french talaga ang aarte. parang yung french fries. ayoko nun kasi maarte siya haha.
haute couture means high fashion. most people would think that anything that's sort of wearable na bonggang bongga ang level is haute couture. when you see an avant-garde piece you'd think, "ah that's haute!" but no, not necessarily. from wikipedia (i love wikipedia), it says there that haute couture
"refers to the creation of exclusive custom-fitted clothing. Haute couture is made to order for a specific customer, and it is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric and sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques."
and the term could only be used by fashion houses that meet standards set by the Chambre de commerce et d'industrie de Paris. Only those fashion houses who design made to order clothes, have a workshop that employs a certain number of workers and showcase their work every season through runway shows in paris can be called couture houses. haute couture is not too profitable. only about 7% of all fashion revenues are from haute couture. although it seems like a very glamorous career, the rich are still dressed by the poor. not very appealing to me.
pret-a-porter or ready-to-wear clothing are those that are made then hung on racks or placed on shelves. that's what you see at the boutiques you often visit during your weekends at the mall however bonggacious they may be, or not be.
wala lang. gusto ko lang i-share ^_^ haha

happiness
happiness is a choice. that's what most people might say. sige ulit-ulitin mo pa yan pero kung nandiyan pa rin yung reason kung bakit ka malungkot, hindi ka pa rin genuinely sasaya.
the prospect of genuine happiness is what motivates me to keep moving forward. masaya naman ako ngayon. you'd always see me smiling but there's still something missing. so far i've found bits of it in my family, my friends, from going to church, and from the internet (yey ym). pero kulang pa rin... hindi pa 100% fulfilled. kapag matutulog nako, hindi ko masabi sa sarili ko na nagawa ko ang lahat ng kaya kong gawin.
gusto kong magbago. as in total make over. gusto ko malaman ang purpose ko. kulang na ata ako sa volunteer work. kulang nako sa interaction with people who need me. nahihiya nakong ako yung laging may kailangan. gusto ko ako naman ang nagbibigay. nalulungkot nanaman ako... feeling ko ang incapable ko. ayoko na madagdagan ang mga bloopers sa buhay ko. ayoko na maging malungkot.
lasing sa antok nanaman tong blog na to... hmph... haha
(i love lea salonga)
happiness
-lea salonga-
Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand
