I still llike Gap no matter what you say

Nobody cares about what happened to me today and only really bored people (or stalkers) would read through this but here it goes.

Went to get my UP Health Certificate, which turned out fast because I already had my medical and dental check-ups outside UP. Kaye accompanied me. After that we went to SM North to watch a movie with Dixi and Ayisse. Dixi wanted to watch at Gateway but Kaye checked and there were no movies for the day.

After much debating at McDo we watched Kaye's pick which is House of Wax (because it would be fun to see Paris's lack of skills "outshine" the others'... and Chad Michael Murray is hot.) I wanted to watch La Visa Loca because I think it would be dang funny. Ayisse said Bikini Open is better (let's face it folks, it isn't actually porn. A butt exposure is the worst there.)

Anyway, it is true, Paris' acting was painfully effortless in a negative way. And we all got to see a "preview" of her infamous sex video. Chad Michael Murray was pretty good though. The movie had its freaky moments too although the characters had a lot of stupid moments.

After that we went around a bit and just ate.

After after, Dixi and I proceeded to our beloved SM Fairview and went around a lot. Just laughing at silly clothes. We also bought a couple of VCDs which were on sale. We were supposed to buy Fight Club, Heat, Jesus Superstar, Bedazzled, EuroTrip, LXG but ended up buying just Fight Club and LXG since somebody already got EuroTrip, neither of us prioritizes owning a copy of Bedazzled, she's watched Jesus Superstar (and I'm not very keen about it) and I already watched Heat (and Dixi's not buying it because it's P200). Well, next time perhaps.

So, while going around we were trying to look for artsy fartsy clothes. Too bad the only place we can get it right now is at Red Tag because most shops mass produce clothes, ye know. But then again, we don't really have money and Red Tag better come up with better stuff soon. There's this certain item there that Dixi and I think is lovely and I wanted to buy. Right now it's down to P600 because it's the last stock. Too bad it's too big for me.

Artsy fartsy clothes, which is perfectly balanced artsy clothes. It has a certain level of uniqueness that in order to look good on a person must be worn right and carried right (or suit the person) and at the same time not too artsily flashy. You can get them at high end shops, high end but affordable shops or second hands.

In relation to artsy fartsy clothes, I told Dixi that more people should be more inventive and try to dress up a little (us included) because it's boring to see everybody wearing jeans and a top (typically a tee). At least it's gonna be more varied if people try to be a little more creative. I guess that thought was partly influenced by my recent stay in Japan because no matter how weird their normal fashion sense is, as the cliche goes, it's a breath of fresh air. But I guess the effects of mass produced boring fashion sense is inevitable.

But as for mass produced goods, they're not entirely evil and bad. There are witty mass produced shirts, lovely mass produced coats, and nice mass produced skirts (like this certain skirt from Gap Summer 2005...hahaha).

So that's it.

PS
Dixi, I am still willing to be your personal stylist. HAHAHA

patag: not really artsy fartsy, just more mixed and not denim pants and a shirt (it would be a little too over the top if you're artsy (or fartsy) from top to bottom hehe. don't mind your sister. so what if you want to wear pajama bottoms? heh

good idea. and then, just like in harajuku, bands should be allowed to perform along the streets.

they have that in japan... where bands and all sorts of performers gather every friday night outside the length of train stations to just perform. awesome.
