old red wristlet/clutch, Ninewest; old heels, Primadonna (they just gave up on me yesterday but probably nothing a rugby could fix or a quick trip to the shoe fixers or so; old shorts, Mags Ph/Cagayan de Oro City; tank top, thrifted; old wristlet pouch, Coach; bracelets and rings, a mix of Aizilim CdeO & Bagel Girl in SM Downtown CdeO Premier; earrings, shesells.cdo on instagram; headband, f21)
Yesterday.
At the moment, I'm thinking about renaming this blog to something related to pink as it's something I'm wearing a lot of lately in support of something and someone. It, ofc, has to do with the incoming National Elections of my country, the Philippines, next year. I'm turning this blog into one that chronicles my wearing pink in tiny, digestible doses because pink is a color that I can only ever get into, in certain shades (old rose; blush; rose gold; sometimes neon or bright or hot pink when I feel like the outfit of the day's too dull; dusty pink) or in bits and pieces of accessories like jewelry, bags and some others.
Some random, additional photos from my phone I posted on Twitter yesterday for a closer glimpse at all the pink details glory. My phone takes really good photos. It's a Samsung A21s and I'm glad I randomly bought a tripod for it like I did my camera awhile back on Lazada Philippines! Not the best tripods but well, they're alright.
Either way, I've already sealed my fate in as last night, I ended up ordering fuchsia pink face masks in 50s for going out. They're the regular surgical 3-ply kind I'm keeping to myself so there's that. Now that I think of it, I should've bought 2 boxes or packs because it seems my family is also on board with this same someone I'm supporting into the 2022 National Elections here in the Philippines. Yeah, I should've bought two boxes, one for myself, one for my family. Maybe next time. The other two boxes I got were the regular blue ones. A darker shade of blue and also a bit brighter than the tame one I usually get of the regular surgical masks for a day or two's going out in a week or so. Anyway, next time, I'm getting 2-3 boxes of the fuchsia pink kind and sharing it with everyone here at home. Haha.

I haven't been feeling like taking much photos lately. I'd chalked it up to the pandemic shutting us all in but it's done so much more than just that, to be honest. In my case, it's made me sooo unmotivated to do anything else other than eat, try to survive and not even do anything else sooo active so it may be why I feel so fat lately and do not feel like taking pictures of outfits and all, at all these days. Anyone else feeling this way? Unmotivated and uninspired? And also, still scared of contracting the virus even when one's already fully vaccinated with a booster shot on the way? I've just been fully vaccinated some time ago and I still feel the same.
It's why I'm thankful that we get the opportunity here to support someone and her progressive platform and advocacies into PH National Elections 2022. It gives me an excuse to dress up and wear bits and pieces of pink on what we call #KakamPinkWednesdays and any other days we get to wear something pink out. It's like, I can finally style some things again, yay? And I just also ordered some of her supporters' merch I'm excited about debuting here, too, among other things. I'm going to fix them first once I receive them in the mail because I have a specific plan for the shirt especially.

I definitely did not mean to drop off the face of the earth after one post a week or two ago. The thing is that I also tend to two other blogs after this one and I have a lot of unfinished drafts in all three and a lot of my time, I tend to spend more on the blue bird app instead or browsing instagram shops especially those selling secondhand, thrifted stuff because I feel like there's really not much else to do anyway. I'm also still writing some fanfiction I doubt I'll ever finish...in the Jimmy Neutron universe ish because I really am turning into a huge fan or shipper of Jimmy and Cindy so... Yeah, those things, I'm keeping myself busy with, lately.
I also have a discord server now, Chill Out Space, and there's a Halloween event going on there no one's biting yet. It's a ghost stories and such sharing event there that later will culminate with an online Halloween costume party because, really, we're all still stuck at home anyway so...yeah. Yep, It's not that I'm slacking off. Well, partly, it's that. I'm mostly procrastinating. LOL. But yeah, I'm keeping myself busy lately.
Yay to another post on how to wear pink stuff next week? I'll try to vary things where this goes.
About fitness, I've taken to going back to doing long walks around the city, especially the city center at least once every week or every 2 weeks or so. I feel like it's the least I can do though I do think about doing jump rope once in a while. Hopefully I can establish an exercise or workout regimen I can do almost daily or so before I go back to doing work I can earn from. Teaching in the public school is the plan and so are temporary writing, editing, proofreading gigs on Upwork that pays so let's see... I really need a more balanced lifestyle soon. Hopefully.
PS
I'm officially naming this weekly post a how to wear pink and have pink stuff around you series. I'm more of a fan of dull colors and especially blue so this is new...ish. If I want brighter colors, pink isn't it for me, I lately am into a lot of yellow, rust and some orange so there's that too.
