BusinessMirror Life - Melvin Lachica: Blue is the New Black

Just Passing By

I had a habit that if I like your latest blog entry I back-read. There’s one blog that I used to visit years before but lately was not able to due to some unforeseen reasons. My heart skipped a beat. I was completely shaken, utterly speechless, and absolutely flabbergasted upon reading the last entry. Tears ran unreservedly from my eyes as I back-read.

Sniff

I'm sad.

"fashion was always synonymous to art for me.
One can easily express ones self by wearing outfits based on their emotions.
Mondays can be utterly depressing, Tuesdays are usually Nostalgic,
Wednesdays you tend to fall in love, and Fridays can be very random.
For me art is a form of release.
I reconstruct my negative raw emotions into something beautiful.
I played around with the idea of mix media art and combining it with fashion.
I used a variety of mediums to create lines, texture, and volume.
Most of my designs are unisex; Maybe its because i love the idea of breaking the general rule of gender .
i find the word “androgyny” very... sexy" - Anton Belardo, Stylist/Designer

Farewell tita Cory

Thanks for everything... You'll be missed...

Blog Hop

I started to blog hop again after a very long while. I never really know how much I miss blogging and blog hopping until I start visiting friends' blogs. Some still there and some are gone. Guess that's life. Oh well once a blogger, always a blogger so they say. Guess it's true for me.

Sick

I don't know what's really wrong with me but I haven't been feeling well since last thursday. My meds aren't working fast. Need to have second opinion from other docs.

Thursday: I felt really really tired and my head aches.
Friday: My hyper acidity strikes and my throat hurts so bad.
Saturday: Lost my voice.
Sunday: Cough a bit and sneeze a lot.
Monday: Head ache and sore throat.
Tuesday: Sore throat.

Nostalgia And Facebook

I didn't realize how much I miss one of the best chapter of me that is the "first year college" until old photos brings back the best memories of the past. Thanks to Facebook.
