Up a Blind Alley

Up a blind alley: 

Going down a course of action that leads to a bad outcome.

I've been putting off posting OOTDs lately because I don't have a time to have someone edit my lay-out. I reverted back to a default template provided by Blogspot til I can find the time to have a sit down with a friend. To be honest, another reason is that I don't want people visiting this page and noticing that it totally looks lackluster. I just hope that my content will compensate for this newbie look.

How's your personal growth? I hope you are as blooming as always. Time and again I have repeated that we are all a work in progress and being a better person takes time. You are going to be misunderstood, and you know what? IT'S OKAY. Because people you knew are not used to growth. Who knows? Your version 2.0 is still making them uncomfortable so they don't know how to deal. Their unacceptable behavior towards your growth might give them an excuse to say, "I miss the old you, and I am behaving badly because I don't know what's wrong" but a poor behavior is no excuse for accountability.

 You were a wrong person at the wrong time but stop harboring on your mistakes, because you are the only one who can put yourself back together and be the right lover at the right time.

  

 Forgive my reactions here. 100% of these shots are stolen and it's quite embarrassing that I make those expressions on a normal basis. Now I understand why some people don't take me seriously. I wore this one during a Blogger event at SM City Cebu. I was quite in a hurry to come up with what to wear since this was a last minute invitation. I didn't even have the time to look at myself in the mirror. If you're an avid reader of this blog, you'll notice that this black blazer has been featured in other entries. Black blazers are anyone's staple. Way back college, I used to pair mine with tank top, shorts and Toms.

Water under the bridge

Water Under The Bridge: 

Anything from the past that isn't significant or important anymore.

I am in for a long day today. We will have our monthly evaluation along with our bosses and I will be scrutinized as to how well I did last April. I don't normally have any problems work wise but the husband and I had a "civil war" a few hours ago and as with me and well, fights, they usually don't end well. I tend to sulk and be very very mad but as I am very much determined to improve, I just decided to keep my mouth shut the whole drive.

If you think it's taboo that I shared what happened awhile ago, let me tell you that it's normal for married couples to argue and bicker. You'd think that over the period that we dated, moved in a place together and officially got married, we'd be living in harmony, but no. Relationships don't work that way. The greatest challenge of making up after a fight is trying to communicate like an adult that we are when, to be honest, I'd rather act like a spoiled brat. 

One tends to set a bar when it comes to finding the "man of their dreams" or the "girl of their wildest fantasies"and of course, the standards are high, after all, YOU deserve the best. The journey of dating, experimenting and starting all over again can be a very tedious process so if you want to take up on something more fulfilling instead, try to be a person for others. Detach yourself for a time so that you can have all the space and energy for growth because love happens inside of you. 

When getting into an exclusive relationship, understand that it requires multiple and multi-tasking skills. If you call FB-ing and texting at the same time as a skill, then it's time to stop acting like a robot and feel like a human being. 

Find a life partner who accepts that you are different from others and wouldn't have you any other way. Yes you are allowed to have weird habits, you can have strange preferences and it's okay. When s/he "gets" you, call it magic. Love is acceptance and love is a gift

Okay, on to the my outfit. I wore this one a few weeks ago when my mother-in-law visited us. My life is full of multiple errands so I have to be on-the-go always. My temperature was spiking from 37-39 degrees but I paid it no mind since I want to make the most of my MIL's visit. 

Again, I bought a blouse that's shaped like a dress. It would have been easy-peasy to just pair this with leggings but I took into consideration that we will be going to Sto. Niño and it's very hot. I took the "Batang 90s" route and paired it with my combat boots. 

We stopped by SM Seaside to grab a quick bite so I hid my cycling shorts and made this top look like I was really wearing short dress making my legs look longer
