Alone Together: BingBang X Urban Dai

Life is all about making a journey, being a wanderer in your own uncertain world. You meet people, you go places, you learn and you grow. We love, we get lost, we fall down and then we walk again alone.
Sometimes, when I am alone, I think of all the things that happened in the past, back at the time when the dead air used to be so sweet, now it’s bitter, now it’s depressing.
You know, A wise man once said, that when you are alone there’s a very good chance that you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants. That there are some down the road that will scare you so much that you won’t want to go on. But there’s no point of not wanting to go on, no matter how difficult life may seem, there’s always an option left for us to choose and that is to move on.
Anyway, speaking of being alone, Do you guys remember that trip in New York last September where I’ve met the amazing accessories designer Anna Sheffield? Anyway, her label, BingBang launched yet another impressive line to watch out for, and it’s called Alone Together.

COLORS

In less than a year, I have experienced a lot of ups and downs in my life more than what I have experienced in the past 5 years. I’ve loved, I’ve won, I’ve lost, I’ve climbed and I’ve fallen. I stood up, tried to hold on and tried to bring back the past. But somehow, everything just seemed all wrong. I used to complain about having a lack of color, but when the colors came in, I couldn’t find the right way to manage all the emotions attached to each and everyone of them.
From what I know, colors should be able to take away all the worries, they should be able to take away the stress from the bad days. But obviously, at the moment, it doesn’t feel that way.

BIPOLAR

Bipolar. Someone told me that being with me is like being on a bumpy roller coaster ride. One day I would be fully energized and be as high as the stars and the next day my mood would be down as the sole of my shoes.  Bipolar like the weather, like Indian summer in the middle of the winter and hard candy with a surprise center (Thank you Katy Perry for that idea), there are always these things about me that I never publicize and probably leave to the observant people to know. And when they do, they give their own black and white judgements, that would either (and always) be satisfying or downgrading.
Today, I cannot say that I have fully recovered from my own asylum of doubts, but good news and good companies are always there to bring me back to my lucid state. And though I have my hot and cold persona, I’m always proud to say that I never give up and that my dreams will always be bigger than my fears.

A Tourist

How many times have you stopped by to just smell the fresh air and adore the lovely flowers around you? Ok, since I’ve been living in the city for a long time now, it’s kind of obvious that I don’t get to experience nature that much. I love the city life, yes I do but once in a while I like to have my own little room to breathe and just you know, feel the cold breeze. And I’m quite happy to be having a bit of a break from the busy buzzing urban life (maybe I should name my blog Country day?  bad idea, slash that)
Anyway, it’s my last day here in the north, I’m leaving tomorrow morning. Honestly I’m not so thrilled about going back. Being in the country for almost a week kind of altered my way of thinking and now I’m feeling a bit nervous if things would work out back home.

They Say An End Can Be A Start

Right now, I am lying down on a foreign bed in a place far away from Manila. I’m freezing because of the cold air and I’m wearing my rather unflattering (but very comfortable and very pink) jacket that I got from San Francisco. It’s my first ever long vacation since I started working last October.
It feels so different (in a good way) to spend a lot of time with my family and yes also with myself. And it kind of made me realize how everything has already changed and what I have been missing. I have been living inside a nutshell and trying to be that perfect person that everyone expects me to be. But you know there’s so much more to life that just being boring, I need adventure, spontaneity and perhaps love. I need to be myself again, and the only way is to finally let go, let go and be crazy and live life. And it starts right now, where it’s ended.
