My love for fashion has evolved in many ways. I once thought I'd be a designer, a merchandiser, a sewer, a masterbeader, an assistant in one of those ateliers, a makeup artist, a photog, etc. It came in many forms. My dear friend told me this - "Do not suppress it". So now finally I'm letting it go. For 3 years, I never built my portfolio bcos I thought I'd be a lawyer anyway (even against my own will). I tried to blend in with the crowd of this profession. I went to school with crazy bows here and there, with my knee high stockings and my oversized Hello Kitty bag. For me that was true style but to the rest they loved my usual fanfare. I never sought anyone's attention but that was how I wanted to dress. It wasn't courtroom-appropriate but I was happy wearing them.

So here I am now with one great leap of faith... my lookbook on my hand... with a deep sigh... I go - This is it. I want to feel the kind of vibe I felt when I was still working with this local retail brand. I thought I lost it for the past 2 years in law school. I hope it never really left me.

I have no educational background but I am armed with great passion. Maybe law school was good for me bcos I was so inspired living in Manila. I've rediscovered Manila one jeepney ride at a time.

In between sleepless nights, cryo-fests over bad recitations and bad exams, piles of cases I never finished and random brouhahas I found INSPIRATION.
---
A great career is waiting for me but all I want to do is find my great love. I'm not sure if I could find it here in school.
---
I'm off to build new relationships with people who have the same passion as I am. I hate networking cos I'm such an introvert but it wouldn't work that way.
