Excited for a purchase

Even though I told myself that I wouldn’t buy anything online until July 19, this deal I found is just too perfect to pass up if I could buy it in person. I NEED to purchase these Black Jungle Boots from the Federal Army Surplus Store in Downtown Seattle (gr8gear.com) at $21.99. Can you believe it? I hope it’s not just an online deal.

In application, check out this picture from Street Etiquette:

I’ll make it a point to stop by this Friday.

What happens to seeing the world?

Just came to the realization that I have somehow managed to suppress my traveler, vagabond ways. Those days are behind me, and it’s such a shame. I still long to see the world, but now other things drive my motivation. Sigh – time kills all dreams. The only means of retaking that lifestyle is to take a gap year. Fat chance.

Fun jackets

Thin, shiny. Paired w/ other shit when going out at night. Homage to the 80’s.
I am tempted to just get one and play around with it. But not until JULY 19…

…my self-instated restriction from buying clothes online.

Right Decisions

I just denied my interview with Allied. I hope I’ve made the right decision, but then again, life isn’t about living in regret. It’s about seizing the opportunities you experience in the moment. Thus, I am going to the kick ass at TD Wang.

Say ‘Hi’ to the new Account Coordinator at TD Wang Advertising, LLC

A good conundrum

I interviewed with TD Wang today and was hired on the spot. Pretty amazing after all this time, but then the gods of irony mock me again. As I wait to sign my contract, I get all these interview requests from all the inquires I sent out throughout the past months.

I was offered a position to teach in Taiwan – rejected it
I was offered an interview with Propel PR & Productions – rejected it
I was offered an interview with Allied Integrated Marketing – pending

I am stuck in a serious conundrum. Should I even choose to interview with Allied? TD Wang was just so rushed and all of a sudden that I am a bit in shock. I do not want to hastily commit to something without a lot of contemplation, but then again, I am very grateful for the opportunity and humbled by their appreciation for my experience.

There are definitely pros and cons for both agencies. I suppose listing them out would help frame my thoughts:

I am still stuck, but making that chart did help formulate my thoughts. I think I am ready to make a decision, but I should sleep on it a night first to see what else develops. In the end, I should not regret my decision. I know that life is full of choices, and you can’t always make the right one all the time. I’m not clairvoyant or anything. Rather, live every day without regret and trust in the people around you. Burning bridges won’t lead you anywhere, so consider that when arriving at a final decision.

Apologies

I’ve been a jerk lately. To parents, to friends, to co-workers, it seems like I’m burning bridges in sacrifice of furthering myself. To live a life behind is better spent than ruining those who helped you get there. I have to turn myself around and work to fix this.

More looks

Zipia look of the day. Maybe this won’t work for me.

But the inspiration is there nonetheless.

Realization — harder than I thought

Writing for a living is a lot harder than I imagined. I think it is completely essential to start reading, reading, and reading every day to keep up and build both my vocabulary and creativity. Geez.

Writing everyday in this vehicle wouldn’t hurt either. I’ll include a sample press release I’ve written later when I actually write a fabulous one haha. So far, they have gone through rigorous edits, and are not up to par.

Inspiration for the red carpet

…for when I’m ever on the red carpet hah. Got inspired to look up some looks from Dunhill’s Fall 2010 collection after seeing pictures from a ‘Red Carpet’ themed semi-formal at UNR. Thanks, Charleston.
