Gap Feature! o_O

I know I promised you guys an outfit post today but sadly (well not really), I have to postpone it because I wanna share with you guys another post which extremely thrills me at the moment!

A few months back, the Chictopia team sent me a message informing me that my picture was chosen to be featured in a campaign with a major retailer. I was giddy about it of course and so I waited until the day that it would come out and then the months passed and I still hadn't heard from them. I thought it wouldn't come out anymore but then last night, while going through my chictopia chicblog, the ever stylish Kookie of deathbyplatforms informed me that she saw my photo on Gap's website for their 1969 Premium Jeans Campaign! Oh holy canoly it was such a sweet surprise!

Okay, so enough blabbing here's my feature:

Whoops! Embarrassing tabs showing my bestfriend's facebook account, and a google tab on how to do printscreen (I'm such a techie loser!) Hahaha!

I am so honored and humbled to be chosen and be put alongside my fave style icons Kookie, Aphrodite, Isabella of Buffalo Stance, Meg of Another Day to Dress Up and many other chictopians and stylish people! :)

So that's it for now mi dearies! I'm going to take a short break from my fashion endeavors for a while and allot time to work on my masscomm and intfilm papers now! Hey, I have two passions rememeber? (refer to previous post) Haha!

'Til the next post!

Torn Between Two Passions

Just got home from school 'coz I only had one class today which was HUMAART a.k.a. Art Appreciation class, which explains why I'm home early and blogging. Today's little discussion in class was like an epiphany for me. We were tasked to conduct a photoshoot and come up with self-portraits then discuss our self-portraits in class. The theme of our "group gallery" was "Passion". The moment I learned that that was our group's theme, only one thought sprang into mind and yes, it was Fashion (surprise, surprise!). It was a no-brainer. I didn't even have to search far and wide and deep into the walls of my heart 'coz I knew full well that Fashion is my passion. What proved to be an epiphany for me was what my professor said about passion this morning. What she said struck me in the most positive of ways because as I've mentioned in one of my posts, I've been feeling a bit depressed and have cried over Fashion a few nights ago 'coz I felt like I was betraying my first love by pursuing a different course and yet feeling inadequate in both of these fields 'coz I don't seem to get full fulfillment from the two because maybe I just need to focus on one. I know it sounds crazy to cry over this seemingly petty dilemma of mine (I'm weak like that) but try to put yourself in my "scarlet red" shoes and you'll know how depressing this feels. But going back to what my prof said, she said that passion is suffering. It is something which brings us happiness but at the same time, it causes us pain. These two lines reassured me that it was okay to cry and hurt and be confused about it because it just confirms that I am indeed very passionate about Fashion. I mean, who cries about Fashion during random nights wherein you suddenly think about your life and what you're doing with it which leads you to re-evaluate things? Oh I do! Oh alright, could be anyone who's passionate about it or John Galliano perhaps? Haha! The thing is, today's discussion helped me by making me realize that it was normal to feel this way and that I shouldn't punish myself for feeling this way. And that, I think, was a good lesson. :)

On a side note, heads up for an outfit post by tomorrow (hopefully)! I'm going to watch INCEPTION again (but I'm not complaining!), with my girlfriends this afternoon. :) Oh and before I go, I wanna thank you guys so much for leaving me some lovely comments on my posts and even for just dropping by. i really appreciate it. Okay, bye for now! :)

Love,
