Deep Couture: Fashion, More Than Meets The Eye

    Racks of designer shoes, rows of haute couture, boxes of expensive purses, handbags and dazzling accessories of different kinds. This is how we view fashion, the closet of the rich and famous but actually it is very present and  relatable to our everyday life. Fashion is everywhere; it is art, an expression, business, an asset and a teeny tiny bit of fortune telling. 

     Fashion is the art of bringing beauty and sophistication practically out of nothing. Your body is the easel while clothes serve as our paint. You may think that being fashionable is easy and shallow but actually there is more to it than meets the eye; it is far more complex. It has rules, laws and crimes; it requires beauty, charisma, poise and confidence as well. 

    Fashion is very demanding because it requires a lot of effort mixed with crazy ideas, perspiration, passion and inspiration. It is something with depth, for your 1000$ clothing will still look cheap if one does not possess the proper etiquette and attitude to par with it.

   Fashion is also a manifestation on how we humans attest our capacity to change. Trends, styles change through the course of time and we tend to adapt it. Trends can be likened to stock markets, fashion experts predict what’s going to be trending in few years, it works like how stock and marketing analysts do their estimated stock growth.

   Fashion expresses who we are like; our personality, taste and mood at times. It helps us discover and love who we are. Through fashion we will be able to embrace ourselves and nurture our own personal style. 

  We must always remember that fashion is not only for the rich; the truth is we don’t need to spend much to be fashionable; we just need to use our imagination. In making a painting the raw materials usually doesn't matter but it is the beauty that is conceived.

Introducing me

          Hey Guys! Mr. Chatterbox here. Welcome to my blog! I just want to let you all know that this day marks the start of a new adventure. For years I have been so interested in starting up a blog but I never had the guts to make one, not until now of course. At last, my dream has turned into a reality. Who would have thought that having a blog as a project would lead me to fulfilling my life long desire and that is of course to blog blog blog. I guess that that was the push I really needed. I would like to channel and share my thoughts,experiences,heartbreaks and etc. into this blog. To the future readers of my blog, I have now let you in my life, I hope you enjoy, laugh and cry with me in this new found journey that I am now going. So before everything else let me introduce myself.

          My name is Jersey John Blanco, sixteener and fresh. I am a proud Iskolar ng bayan, Christian and a Filipino. I love eating, singing, playing scrabble, reading books and many more but I assure you that you will never see me being timid and silent. I am a handful of things and being a chatterbox is just one of them. I just love talking so much to the point that my teachers during my elementary would send me out of the class. Well, Being a chatterbox is both a bliss and a disaster. I can either entertain you or annoy you to death; but if you listen to what I am talking about it actually has some sense in it.

          The only thing that can equal my love for talking is my love for singing. I love singing so much that  I sing anywhere and anytime. I can really attest that music can explain what words cannot because it became the outlet of my emotions. I usually don't allow people to borrow my ipod because i am ashamed of my musical tastes and I'm sure that they will find it weird and boring. I always imagine that in everything that is happening around me have a matching soundtrack. So if you find me singing some random song I might be thinking about the song that fits the situation. I can say that Taylor Swift is my obsession because her songs really makes sense. Nowadays, music is so commercialized to the point that the art of songwriting has been set aside just to make the tune catchy and marketable. I love anything that involves singing that is why I fell in love with musical theater. I have been performing since I was 8, I played as a psychopath, a ghost, Goliath, an ancestor of Mulan and many more. I am obsessed with Broadway and someday hopes to be a part of it even a flying monkey in Wizard of Oz will do. I've seen tons of plays both in theater and in the telly.I do not only annoy people through talking but in singing as well. I don't know what is wrong with me but I just can't stop.  I can really say though that singing and talking make up the Jersey John Blanco you see today.

        I am a firm believer of love; I call myself a Romanticist but I  believe that it only works on others for I have been alone since like forever.(*hahahahaahah ).  I do not eat goat meat because I had a pet goat once named Millie. I loved it with all my heart and raised it for a year or so but on the first day of April 2008 during my Lola's birthday, my beloved pet turned  into a sumptuous Caldereta. Ever since that day no goat meat touched my lips. I am an artsy type of person but I am interested in geography as well. I have familiarized almost every country's flag, culture, history and their tourist destinations of course. Someday I hope to travel around the globe as well that is why I am equipping myself with these information. I hope to visit Europe and their magnificent castles and museums. I hope someday to submerge in the cerulean waters of the Mediterranean, ride gondolas in Venice, feed pigeons in Milan, climb the Alps and visit the Eiffel tower.

         I can say that a lot of people got pissed with my boisterous nature but I am sure that I have brought more smiles and good belly laughs to others as well. I am very warm in nature and I really do hope that you would feel me in my writing as well, my warmth and my personality. I do really hope that you enjoy flipping and reading my blog.

       To my readers, welcome to my life. <3
