Purpose and Path

By Mela D. on Tuesday, April 30, 2013

It took me nearly two years to realize the difference between the two.

Purpose is the final destination.

Path is the road going there.

I've always been the goal-oriented type but sometimes I get engrossed with a certain path that despite the obvious humps and hazards, I still continue to fight my way forward just to stay on that path. Even if the path isn't anymore leading me to my original purpose. Even if there are safer and more pleasant paths in sight.

I have journeyed on the wrong path for so long and have encountered more than enough troubles because of it. Now, all I really want is to quit and take another path--other paths that could lead me closer to my purpose. I know I sound trivial but don't worry, this isn't about medschool and being a doctor. Heeee.

At this point, all I really want is to be at peace and to learn how to properly apply liquid liner on my upper lids. Promise, I didn't mean this to be overdone. :|

Aaaah, this will always be my comfort hymn.
I'll be watching Serendipity tonight until I fall asleep.

Sweet dreams, everyone! :)

Much love,

Mela

Coachella Lovin'

By Mela D. on Monday, March 18, 2013

Spot the DIY. Two scarves braided to form a headband!

Hype this on LOOKBOOK.nu!

This probably is one of the most vibrant posts I've had. It's a delight to spend the long weekend here at home despite the gazillion things waiting to be accomplished during the last few days of this school year. Home-cooked food and family are all I really need to bring back all the energy, motivation and inspiration that's been draining out of me these passed days.

I wore this outfit during our visit earlier at my grandma's hometown. I basically have no outfit issues with that lest of course we pass by the mall to buy her pasalubong. I wish I wore slippers instead but obviously, the Manhattan--errr, Roxas City Onceovers came a bit earlier than that realization. x_x

All the elements in this outfit revolved around my new JC Lita-inspired booties: mint, mint, mint, and mint. I didn't plan to be Coachella-ish but my DIY-necklace was the perfect pop of color that I needed. Hence, the discovery of it's multi-functionalism (might as well use it as a belt soon).

What do you think of this outfit?

Thanks again, Manang Paola for the stuff that you sent! Love, love this top!

Aaaand CONGRATULATIONS to the 2013 graduates.

Yipee, summer is just around the corner! XD

Much love,

Mela
