The week has not been quite the typical given the recent tragedy that hit Bohol and Cebu. I was bothered by this dire reminder of how unpredictable life is. Though I’ll leave the life realizations for a different blog post, clearly there is no sure-fire way to know what’s going to happen next. All we can do is hope for the best and be prepared for anything. In spite of that, I am not the type of person who believes in the “material” sense of the quote “Live life to the fullest.”
People close to me know me for being straightforward and direct. I am someone who doesn’t hold back what is going on in her mind. I find it very difficult to keep mum especially about certain things I have a strong opinion of. But I have never forced anything I say to anyone nor will I start to…ever! Expressing myself, without consciously hurting anyone, is something natural to me because I don’t want to regret not doing so.
Many times my transparency lead me to some kind of trouble with some people. Trouble, however resolvable, makes me sad, depressed or annoyed - depending on who else is involved. Yesterday was an example.
No, I’m not getting into the details. But I did feel really annoyed. To keep my mind off the issue, I took a stroll in the mall. Mall strolling when annoyed or stressed is, by far, the fastest way to bring back my usual sunny disposition. I try to avoid buying things because I’ve realized that strong emotions make one an impulsive buyer.
Topshop Tank Top | Episode Blazer borrowed from Jada | unbranded Denim Shorts | Topshop Cork Wedge Sandals
Since it was only an abrupt plan to go to the mall, I wore a simple mall outfit. The combo shorts + tank top + blazer is easy to put together. Match the outfit with nice shoes (in my case, cork wedge sandals) a statement neck piece, and you’re done!
