Wear Yo Outerwear

I completely understand if you want to rebut and say that Malaysia is too bloody hot for wearing an outerwear. I agree. I completely agree with you.

But here me out, most of the time you spend will be indoors anyways, your lecture hall, your office, your mall, your wherever else. So, why not? Plus, choose a lightweight material. You're not going to evaporate into steam if it was ever too hot.

Denim Jacket (Rappers and Booties)

(Out of context intro)

I enjoy rap music when rappers discuss on matters that actually matter such as Chance the Rapper in his sing Cocoa Butter or Childish Gambino in Hold You Down. However, the only consistent pattern of the topic that are in rap music since I first started listening to it in 2012 is booty. Why? What is the correlation between these two separate entities? Am I ignorant to the history of it? If I am, please enlighten me.

(Contextual intro)

But I digress. Let's talk about denim jackets shall we? First of all, how great are they? I treated myself with a black denim jacket earlier this month and I can tell you that there was not a day that I left my denim jacket in the house. Whatever outfit I have on, I'd just throw on my denim jacket on top for an extra pow-wow. It is a great staple in any wardrobe. Trust me. The trick is just to find a wash that accommodates well to your wardrobe and a fit that, well, compliments your figure. Du-uh.

I was on a lookout for a denim jacket for soooooooooo long, I thought I should share with you some tips that would make your journey to the perfect denim jacket easier as compared to mine. I am not an expert, but I am an experienced shopper so, I think my opinion would kind of help. Maybe... Maybe not...

1.

Try on any denim jackets that you can find. 

Here's the thing, you can never imagine how a denim jacket would look like on you unless you put it on you. There are so many washes and cuts, I mean, just put it on. I never thought that I would end up with a black denim jacket but here I am, at bliss with one.

2.

Compare & Contrast

Once you found the kind of wash and cut that you need in your life, be on the lookout for a cheaper one. Denim jackets can be expensive but sometimes, you can get it for less. Compare and contrast the quality and price with other shops. Don't just stop at one shop. Venture out. I don't buy anything made in masses for full price because we both know that it is going to go on sale for waaay fucking cheaper and we will be sad for not waiting.

3.

Buy

Buy the denim jacket that has the optimum balance amongst style, price and quality.

4.

Enjoy it for eternity

It will last you forever. I doubt that it will an item of clothing that will soon be irrelevant in fashion. If it ever happens, I don't think I will be proud of the industry anymore (maybe).

ps: A$AP ROCKY has some sick beats but sickening lyrics. I do enjoy getting high on it though (musically, not drugs wise). Not gunna lie.

Word Vomit: Anyone?

I am curious, is there anyone out there who is actually reading my contents? I keep getting views but it all seems so abstract. And personally I think that abstractness is only appealing in literature, not in real life. So, to anyone who is reading this, I just want to thank you and hope you enjoy the nonsense that I put out. I enjoy writing them and I hope you'd find some sort of satisfaction in between my lines of absurd sentences.

You are fucking exquisite. Keep that in mind.

And, of course, thank you again.

Outstanding Imperfection: Minor Dyslexia

Let's be real here. The fact that I can't differ between my left hand to my right hand is not solely because of my stupidity. The reason of my incomprehensibility towards left and right is because I have a speckle of dyslexic traits in my DNA (I ain't bullshittin' you, bud). 

Truthfully, I am tired of being made stupid due to my inability to differentiate my hand or directions or anything similar. So, I look at it as a quirky trait of mine. How many times in your life do you stumble upon someone who is asked to turn right but steered the car to the left instead? Not that many I suppose. So, here I am. Let me be a quirky furniture in your unfinished home.

Seriously, it is really hard to hate someone who is naturally dumb when it comes to direction. All you will feel is pity and I'd suck any pity that I can find.

So, to you lovely people out there with outstanding imperfections, just be okay with it. If you can't, find other advice because this is all I have. Hahahaha. But seriously, be okay with it. Wear it like a shield and it is almost fucking impossible for anyone to hurt you. At least that is what Tyrion Lannister said in Game of Thrones (btw, when the fuck will that show be on air again?)

ps: I just got the scarf from @byfqi (Instagram), and I wore it for 3 days straight. I mean, c'mon. That justifies something.

Banana

I thought I'd try something new today. Not in terms of clothes but photos. Experimentation is a great essentials in life, people! Anyways, I thought the yellow background was freaking cool and I am currently into the grain-y effects on photos. It gives that nostalgic feeling in photos that I just enjoy looking at. And I thought, why not make it present in my pictures as well?

All in all, I've been enjoying the top and the bottom together and separately because I truly believe that it is what love is made out off. Among other things that is.

I don't have a name for what this outfit is called and I know nothing of the theme that this outfit falls under. But what I do know is I felt good and happy in it. Plus, I bought the skirt on sale. What else could a girl wish for? Discounted skirt and humanity in life.

Last but not least, I'd like to thank a friend of mine, Yana, for the top. I've worn it to two weddings within two consecutive weekends. Man, I can't justify how much I love it.

Hobo? Hope So.

Skirts and I don't mix that well because I am not a really great person when I am with skirts. I can't jump, dance or sit well when I am in skirts. But when Hana Tajima released her collection of bottoms at Uniqlo, I can't help but feel like I need to have it. Skirts or not. I just need 'em. But it was so fucking expensive, I waited it out for 3 months.

Now, it is on sale for half of it's original price, what else would little old me do but grab it by.

Here is my take on skirts; they look lovely and they are a pain in the ass. I don't know how Scottish men does it in those kilt. All in all, I enjoyed wearing it and the airy feeling that I get every time wind passes me by makes wearing a skirt worthwhile. Despite having a few Marilyn Monroe moments. 

Lastly I realized that the combination of my denim jacket and my striped shirt made me look like a hobo. And like any other hobo, I look good.

| groovy socks: cotton on | shoes: converse

That's all for now folks, till next time.

The Terror of Pants.

I have 24 pairs of pants. I only have one pair of legs.

Why the actual fuck would I need 24 of them? But I love them all the same.

Film Stuff: Mr. Holmes

I don't know what is it with our society but often we perceive "getting old" as a taboo topic to address. Sure, getting old ain't pretty. Sure getting old reminds us of dying but then where else is our lives is going to go if not towards death? If you have another end result of life that equates to eternity, holla at me.

I think the film Mr. Holmes addresses this stigma quite well and very much endearing as well. Sherlock Holmes has always been known at his prime age. He is a genius, a sociopath, witty, awkward and all of the adjectives that we love to love in a character. But when you fast forward him to when he is 90++ years old, he is still all of that, but not the whole of all of that. 

It was painful for me to watch my beloved fictional figure to deteriorate with age.

What really killed me was when Mr. Holmes, one who has never been able to grasp the concept of loneliness, understood it when he is at the brink of his life. He had to accept the fact that his entire existence was quintessentially lonely.

The characters involved were not a lot, just 4 or 5 in total. And there were no explosions or car chases or gunshots. There was just a man at the edge of his life with nothing. Ian McKellen did well. I can't imagine anyone else better to play a retired Mr. Holmes.

All in all, that is the hard fact that we need to stop avoiding and just deal with. You never know if you are going to live to be a senile, fragile and a lonely hundred year old man.

Go and watch it if you ever have the time.
