Unlikely Hoard

Let's start off with last Thursday, shall we? My list begins with the mail that came that day.
I was so surprised to actually receive something! Not to mention that it was actually my first ever online purchase! Yey! It's a khaki sleeveless sheer polo and I love it for it's simplicity. I don't mind that it's in the same color as my skin, it just makes me more proud to wear my colors. Literally. I got it from Little Turp for a really reasonable price.
The next two items were bought consecutively last Friday night in Eastwood. From Jellybean, I bought this peach long sleeved polo with a twist! It has holes on the shoulder. I know there's a name for this type of clothing but since I'm just starting to tread the deep oceans of fashion, bear with me. If you do know what it's called do leave me a comment or message me. So going back, my last purchase is from People are People. Which was a bit odd since I don't usually go there when I'm not in need of a party garment. Don't get me wrong, I do love the place for it's unique finds. This love has reached a new level due to my new and long craved navy blue mullet skirt.
After all my purchases, I felt really good about myself that I was able to buy these using ever ounce of fashion fuel I had. I'd like to thank my Father for sponsoring 18 years of my clothing, and still counting if I might add. Oh! I also love my 10 year old sister for accompanying me through the different stores and for giving me her honest opinion for every piece I tried on.
On another note, I was reminded on how technology has made life easier in more ways than one. In my first-hand experience of online shopping, I realized how easy it is to find items you need. Just a few clicks and the use of your keyboard, you instantly have clothes and the works! Then again, there are drawbacks to this just how everything is in this world. Some of which would be the hassle of meeting up with your supplier or going to the bank to deposit money. Another would be the doubt you'd feel if the item would actually fit you and compliment your features. But in the end, the experience of going through it all was enriching and has given me a few thoughts to ponder on. I also realized that you've got to consider yourself lucky to even have good pieces of clothing at your disposal. Not everyone has the privilege you hold. Be thankful, be a wise spender.

Most of the stuff I've chosen to save are already compiled or are grouped. I realized that these have been organized (to my surprise) even before I did this blog challenge with my blockmates. I need not panic in search for these items for they've been already prepared. I'm also assuming that the fire would happen with my parents at work, therefore leaving me and my siblings to save what we can and ourselves.
Just a back story! When my mom was young, she experienced their house burning. With that piece of memory, she always reminded us to be prepared and be organized for the worst.
First on my list would be the PAPERS and PHOTO ALBUMS. That's because Mom would kill me if I didn't save them cause well, she's been bugging me ever since that if a fire should occur, these should be the first things to take out of the house.
I understand now how she made these our foremost priority. Our papers (although our public institutions have copies of them) are hard to get a hold of and with five individuals to keep track of, it would be a huge problem. As for the photo albums, we don't have digital copies of those. Those are the only copies we have and they fill a big portion of who I am.
I think that's the connecting idea in choosing these items, they are all irreplaceable. They remind me of who I've been and who I am. Honestly, there are times where I forget a lot of things. I blame this fast paced world we live in. But these memories remind me of who I once was. With that, I get back a part of my sanity and it gives me peace of mind to know I have something to look back to. Another thing about these items is that I have a hard time letting go of memories. I think it's because of the belief that "People change, they come and they go but memories stay with you forever. They never change."
You may say that these items are sort of generic and out of date but then again only I know what true meaning these items hold.
So hopefully, I have enough time to grab all these stuff PLUS my siblings then get out of the house. Eventually, I'd use my phone to call my parents and tell them our house is burning.
In another world where what I'm about to say is relevant to my post, isn't my drawing superb? I just love it. I draw like a gradeschooler.

Check out what my friends are saving while their houses are burning down!

Just like what the title says, FINALLY! I'm done with what seemed to be just an idea in my freakishly fast paced head is here.
I'm proud to introduce my new darling blog, Casualties of Antigone.♥
This will be my training ground for a more formal type of blogging and I hope you readers would help me in improving by sending me mail through the e-mail address you see on the left. You could include requests on what you'd like me to write or on how and what to check with my writing.
I'd be sharing my different adventures of everyday as I deem fit for this blog. So, here's to the start of a new and resilient endeavor! :)
