collections of beauty

I used to collect lots of things. I mean anything. Before, i have a collection of bags, but not expensive ones. Just different ones, the kind that not everybody uses or displays in public. Some are cheap, and some are little bit expensive but not branded. I have this checkered bag which looks like a Ralph lauren original, but actually it has simple print and a nice style, everybody mistakes it, but actually i only bought it for 50 pesos. I have this flowered printed sling bag, which a lot of my friends find attractive because of its nice print. it was a rare find on a very rare occasion. Most of my bags are either orange colored or red, either way all of them are lively printed. I think bags represent real feminity, i mean for me i cannot go out without a bag to put all my things in, or probably a purse or if im going somwhere far, i have also a bag for that as well as a bag if ever i go hiking. Nowadays, i have this flesh sling bag which i wore to work, because something hand bags or shoulder bags are a nuisance because they fall off my shoulder and sometimes when i walk fast its annnoying. But i have stopped my collection, i have given others with friends and the rest for charity. The bags left are the ones that i cannot give up, they have been with me for long and i have used them in a lots of occasions.


2 years ago, i also collected earrings. well actually, i used to make them for friends, for my mom and for other people. No one would care to use them because i make long and huge earrings out of shells and other things because i have a long hair and it would look nice, but then after a year the fashion industry used big earrings, the antique, shelled ones..I can see some of my friends wear the ones i made or others would even ask me to make one. But i have given it up too, because i had work and it made me busy. I still have the addiction to it, i love earrings. I still collect but i also give them to friends who always would want to have it. I like the big ones and earrings that not most people wear. I also love necklaces, but not the precious ones. I love shell necklaces. But there is one necklace that had a beautiful flower pendant, that i thought was beautiful, but i lost it. That's a problem with me and jewelry i misplace things and end up getting them lost. I also love bracelets, the ones which have charms on them, that has lots of colorful things on it. I have weird tastes in jewelry, that's why my parents and close friends never give me any jewelry present, because if i hate it i would never wear it, they know it even if its an expensive one.


Another collection are my indie mp3s..lots of them. Different weird songs from different weird tastes. other people would never understand it. from alternative to hard core. reggae to pop, slow to fast and the like. sometimes its with the lyrics or sometimes its the tune that makes me fascinated. Even my brothers sometimes find it really weird that i love a certain song, well its hard to explain. probably thats what makes it more attractive to me.

I also love lipsticks. I have lots of them. and i dont care if some men hate it when women wear lipstick. I dont really care, im not opting to give up something just for some guy. if i do have to give up some thing then its would be about other important things. Besides, make-up should not be an issue, relationships are. Anyway, i have different kinds of lipstick for every occasion. I love wearing it, not just to attract any guy but im wearing it because i like it. looking good is not vanity, but obsessing about beauty is vanity. what's wrong with looking nice and pretty, if i like something ill wear it, ill flaunt it. because all these things shall fade, and i when i get old, i wont have these things anymore. Life is a journey and there are lots of things to have, to try and to do, im making a most of it. i dont want to wait until im 8o years old and live in regret.
