BLESS THE GINGHAM

This Totoro tote is my go-to bag of the moment. I just can't leave my Totoro at home. I'm a big fan of Ghibli Films most especially Totoro so the instant I saw this at Elle Poupee booth at Kawaii In Manila 2, I just have to get it! It perfected my outfit of the day as well!

I'm taking the gingham trend everywhere I go. I was just wearing a pink gingham skirt (by Emoda) at Kawaii In Manila 2 and here I am again donning a black one from Harajukuii.com! It is so pretty and very doll-like, don't you think? To match the whole look, I wore Whimsicute bow!

LOVE - is my motivation for everything that I do whether I teach, I blog, I write, I take photos, I make friendships, organize a fashion show, unite people together, just basically anything I do. I just have to say that popularity will never give me that kind of drive. I guess I'm getting old or I'm plain too old for fame. My friend Misato of funktique told me one time, "you're going to be like (insert a name of a famous Malaysian blogger here) of the Philippines" and I was like, "uhm, no." It's not a bad thing to be popular, it could be a some sort of evidence that you've been successful in life sometimes but I guess it was just never really my priority. And being in Manila for KIM2 just proved that. Witnessing fashion shows by very creative people of Dolly Kaye, Dorotee Sweetlips, La Princesse Tea Doll and Forestale (just to mention a few) made me think about what I wanted to do in the future. I want to create something. I want to study (preferably at Bunka) and achieve something in Japan like Mikio Sakabe and Jenny Fax. Well obviously, I'm thinking too much. But it isn't bad to dream a little too much.
