sartorial pulchritude

Sartorial Pulchritude by Jezza Pacaldo is an online diary that records her sartorial 'mishaps' and her adventures in life. She uses this platform to blog her way of life, the people, events and the things she encounters, and whatever thoughts and photographs she fancies to share with. In short, she blogs to remember. ♡

There is something lonely about her. The way she walks and the way she talks. No one knows her story, and no one will ever do. Sadness lingers around her, but no one notices. The way she contemplates her food and the way she eats it slowly. The way she treats others with kindness, and the way she tells you to love every bit of yourself more, because she never did to herself. The way she loves being alone and the way she finds beauty in everything even in dead flowers. The way she goes comforting other people or the way she happens not to laugh at the things you find embarrassing. The way she loves a person, but doesn’t show it for fear, but she does, she really does. If you happen to cross paths with her, love her entirely. Show her that there’s love. Make her feel it. And if you do, and if you showed it, then you Sir would be the luckiest person on earth to have her. For she will unconditionally love you and she will show you the world with kindness for she knows.

Writing is a form of therapy; sometimes I wonder how all those who do not write, compose or paint can manage to escape the madness, melancholia, the panic, and fear which is inherent in a human situation.

  Four days have passed since New Year's Eve. 2013 was definitely a year of firsts for me in a lot of things, and it's overwhelming how time's so fast. The next thing I know, I'd be already graduating! But kidding aside, the only thing I'd say for you, 2014 is "POW"! I'm gonna own and conquer you in my ways. 

  On the other note, this is my first outfit post for 2014! Yeah haha. Hoping there would be more to come. That is all, thank you for reading this post.

2013 Year Ender

"All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives."

Here's to never growing up! (Okay did I just quote Avril Lavigne's song?) There are endings and there are beginnings and the two always meet. 2013 may not be as awesome, but it was a year of discovery for me. I was slowly starting to get out of my little four walls of comfort in exchange for something exciting and new. I learned a lot of things, I've met people and became friends with most of them. It's so absurd how months ago, exactly March, I was fretting about college and everything. I've discovered that the key to being an adventure seeker is to just let go and take a risk cause life is too short for regrets. And risks did I took. I am blessed and thankful for this year, thankful for the people I've met, the people who stayed with me (even though I'm such an annoying control OC freak), the stories and laughters I've heard and shared, and also the many good and bad experiences. Here's to another year ahead of me and here's to the risks I have yet to take. Before I end this post, let me share with you a quote from a movie: "I do not live in the past, I live in the now." And I think that we should be living by that quote. Happy New Year everyone and P.S. I'm making you my year, 2014! Thank you, Lord for another year.

Christmas Love

In the Christmas Carol, Scrooge has given up hope for happiness, for love, and for kindness. But despite his lack of belief, he's given a second chance; a do over on how he sees the world. Most of us aren't visited by different versions of ourselves so we can see the mistakes we've made. But if we're lucky, we can cease the chance to make a change and make things right. Sometimes making a change can give us a second chance. But what second chances always represent is hope. The hope that this time, you'll get it right no matter what the obstacle is. Christmas season is by far the favorite season of mine. It brings and even binds everyone together. 'Tis the season where everyone's good to each other and where everyone's in such a good mood (except when you go Christmas shopping and insert all the possible things that can ruin your mood; e.g. traffic, long long cashier lines, etc! But not even that can ruin your holidays). But most importantly, it's the season for hope and love. It has long been the axiom of mine that the little things are the most important. The simple "Merry Christmas" greet or when I see a stranger smile back at me. And I thought, this is what holidays do to you. Merry Christmas everyone and thank you so much for those who still reads this blog even though I haven't blogged that much this year.

MIYERKULES

For the past few months, the word photography doesn't anymore make me excited and giddy inside. It doesn't anymore give my mind photographic flashes of wonderful ideas. And for that months, I lost all interest I had over it. And of course that also means shutting down this blog for good because almost every shots I took is connected to here.

Fortunately, it was just a phase. Hihi so here I am now, back to blogging, back to taking pictures. And besides, I'm still an amateur when it comes to things like this, I've go a lot of things yet to learn, giving up won't be an option. I've come this far and it would be a waste to throw them all away.

Also friends who were also photography enthusiasts were there for me and inspired me to continue.

The Outcast

[freckledasiangirl]

"Keep those concepts in mind: You’ve failed many times, although you don’t remember. You fell down the first time you tried walk. You almost drowned the first time you tried to swim… Don’t worry about failure. My suggestion to each of you: worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try. If you’re not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."

Endless nights

My life has become a boring pop song and everyone is singing along. From school works to the never ending routine of doing it everyday. Sometimes I think that I live for the routine and not for the experience that I'll be getting each day.  But I'm not complaining because this world has a lot to take care of, and complaining ain't gonna be the solution.

Trying to radiate positive vibes, and let positivity consume me despite all odds.

Check out the uneven skin tone all because of NSTP and yes, swimming class. Tsk tsk

I won't apologize for my lack of blog posts in here (kinda) but there's been a lot of things that's happening lately and I can't really blog them all, right? Hashtag not a committed blogger.

I dont think anyone really understands how much compliments actually mean to me like I usually brush them off with a joke and a quick “thank you” but really I remember compliments for forever so if you’ve ever complimented me or done something nice for me thank you so much.

Photogenic dogs are a plus. What can I say, being photogenic runs in the family, even the dogs. (I kid!)

Hey guys I'm back to update! I'll just be making this post short. Yesterday was my very first acquaintance party in college, and honestly I don't know what to expect! It was themed the Blacklight party where everyone was requested to wear anything white or neon.

It was held on the University grounds in the ground floor of the building where the University museum was, and we were partying the night away.

The DJ is really gwapo, no lie and he also mixes the songs really well!

The place was really transformed and there were props + Everyone was really on the dance floor dancing to the beat. Awesome right?

Yay for new found friends! :)
