Me and My Living Brain

It's been years since the last time I wrote over the internet. All I could remember was the youthful exuberance that I had when I was in school, when I dropped out of college and entered fashion school. Livejournal days, Jeff Buckley, Lonely Street Corners, Thrift Stores, Vogue, Visionaire, Late Night Ordinary Buses, kept me alive, young as 22. I even worked as a bagger in this so called supermarket full of crap (always pays late), cinema vending? I've done that, Call Center? I've done that too - 3 fucking floating yrs, The I'm not gonna stop 'til I die moment (whatever you call it). I've done all of these because of my love for creativity, How many pounds I lost working 24 hrs? A lot. I needed them to sustain my execution towards my passion. Breathe it! Felt like life is short, if i'm not gonna do this now. Now I'm 25, never thought that I would even make this far like producing real clothes for beautiful people. Seeing my works on the glossy pages of magazines and even TV commercials. What I just knew then was making a dress is like making an art piece, with a nice neckline, progressive and calculated to frame a personality rather than sexiness. How exciting it was to play and think (Karen Elson or Stella Tennant per say) as an inspiration. I even dressed up like them (yes, androgyny). But what really makes me feel good now? I see the clothes that I designed, the ones you've seen from the fabric store, sew them on your own transitioning into something unexpected, full of surprises. I've always been so discreet about this not until I made this blog, kept it for a year, that thought, someday, this blog could be my room of imagination and dreams. And I'm right! This is so coming true..
