10 | Style

OMG cannot believe, okay I can, that I just spent the past 4hrs =.= looking at styles on different blogs and youtube and all. I didn't even watch a show, it was literally doing Capstone then styles all over. Wow that was quite some time.

Okay so the main topic I really want to talk about, style. As I have mentioned previously I'm from an engineering school. What that means in real life is that most of my colleagues in university cant be bothered or dont care about how they dress. If I see another hundreds shorts and tee pairing over my last month in schoo, it is going to be no surprise. Being in a partial architecture school a LOT of people mistake me for being an Archi kid. Which I did consider at some point but is ironic considering most of them can barely sleep what more dress up. In total all I wanted to say is I like to dress well. There are times where I choose to dress more casually, like those Sundays I spent giving tuition. But those are well once a week....

What I really really want to talk about style though, is dressing for you. I mean trends come and go, you are hardly likely to be able to do them all. However when those styles trickle to where you usually buy clothes, all you have to do is do you. In all honesty 90+% of my clothes are not bought in Singapore, probably 90% of my everything except food... Most of them are from BKK from my yearly trips (which I think I wouldnt be able to make this yr 0.o ), however there are things in there that are naturally on point because people generally sell things that are trendy.

Through it all though you still have to find your comfort zone. Up there in the descriptor it says motorbike, and yes I am a female rider. The question I get the most about riding is "eh Syl how did you ride in that?" I mean come on, I ride a scooter it's not that hard.... Ooo this always comes up cause I love dresses and skirt.

Part of finding your comfort zone is knowing what flatters you. I'm quite fat -.- so I tend to not leave my arms bare, my skirts tend to be high waist and my dress are most likely A line. I wear a lot of leggings cause they are comfortable [:

The last thing to note though is to know what you're doing that day. So currently my timetable for school is rather heavy on Monday's and I have church classes at night. I expect to be sitting in cold rooms, with hardly any movements. Hence on Mondays I tend to dress in long pants/leggings with dress shirts/long shirts. In general I know I freeze a lot in class, so I hardly ever leave the house without some form of jacket that I can use to layer up.

In general this post is rather haphazard. Probably because it's 3am and I should totally be sleeping. I really want to start documenting how I dress, but I'm kinda lazy to set up my camera and it's not like I have a friendly photographer friend who would do it for me.... If I do set it up.... Here are some selfies that are not really meant to showcase outfits but do give a flavor of how i dress... I love blue btw, it weirdly started during my MJC days where I wear blue to sch everyday.... Oooo an my hair is black to blue/green, its getting greener by every wash, which washes me out. :p

9 | Territories I Cannot Believe I'm Going Into

I hope you read my apprehension from that title, because I really am writing this with a heavy heart. Being a Evangelical Christian I always have had strong opinion about the whole LGBT issue, especially as my view of the faith grew. Moreover I am not speaking of this as someone who have not been affected personally by this whole debacle. I have had a close Christian sister who left church because of the way this issue was dealt with. I have heard her pain and disappointment, to a certain extent I agree with her. Not because of the issue she is defending but how it was dealt with.

This topic is probably such a big deal right now because of US declaration that gay marriage should not be banned in any of the states. Yet looking through all the people supporting this cause, there too are others who would lose their freedom because of it. Why is marriage equality so important? What is it about being married that makes you a committed couple different from a non-married one? Isn't it interesting with the wane of marriage in Heterosexual relationship the trend is exactly opposite in the Homosexual community?

What does the paper signify? For Christian going into marriage its a covenant I make to my Husband and God to be but with one men for the rest of my life. I doubt as a same sex couple, marriage meant much the same- especially the covenant with God portion. So is it about the law recognizing you as one? Why is that necessary? I feel it is clearly an agenda to tear down the institution of marriage and its sanctity.

If the argument is marriage equality because I was born this way. My only question to you is that if I was born a compulsive liar should I continue lying? How about rage, should my committing murder be allowed? How about stealing? Where is the line between my freedom to choose and my freedom to harm others? Because to me for the LGBT community the only difference between having a marriage certificate and non, is the ability to adopt. To create a child we need a men and a women, what makes you think that you need anything less to raise a child? Or do you think that women and men are the same? If they are then why do you prefer those of your own gender?

In many ways I know I can be offensive in my questions, but I am really curious. The law use to not allow same sex marriages, but same sex practices are not prosecuted. With marriage equality on the table, should I be a Christian in the states, practicing my religion and choosing to not be part of your marriage I could be prosecuted for practicing my beliefs.

Recently someone I subscribe to on youtube came out of the closet. Honestly this was not sparked by her video, however on another youtube channel I follow came out a new monthly favorites video. You probably guessed it, the first thing was all about the first youtuber coming out and sharing about living authentically. In other words being true to her nature of being gay. I would like to add once again here I am not unused to knowing people in the LGBT community. I do enjoy Modern Family's Cam and Mitchel. Yet I want to go back to those questions I asked a few paragraph back, say I have anger issues all my life, to the extent that my family was scared of me. Should I live authentically? Say I love to eat Hamburgers and I hate exercising, should I live authentically? Say I am a drug user, should I live authentically?

If you say no to any of the above question, you need to touch your heart again and redefine whether there are absolute moral laws. One that I truly believe in is that one never have the right to put another person in harms way, and placing children in anything but a nuclear - one father and one mother- family is putting that child in harm's way. One's right to live the way he wants to, should not place another in harm.

ps. on a side note, I do aim to hit every single thing I list in my description ie. Beauty | Books | Craft | Food | Life | Motorbike | Photography | Religion | TV Shows. I think I still have to go to craft, motor, photog... I do have some material for those.........
