Appropriateness

Sometimes, fresh off JAC Liner, I'll go directly to my favorite siomai-an and do an hour of thrifting.  Thrift stuff are so expensive these days-- I recently bought a P450 bag and the clothes range from P100 - P200, at least on the stores I frequent.  Anywhos, I recently bought a dress despite the expensive price tag because I am madly in love with it.


After trying it on (I haphazardly placed it over my clothes outside of the changing rooms sa ukay), an elderly woman spoke to me out of the blue and said: "Alam mo, bagay sa 'yo yan; mukha kang dalaga" which I appreciated because I know how hard it is to compliment a total stranger.  But then afterwards and in a moment of sudden paranoia, I thought geez, I must have looked like an old hag to revert to tight-fitting dresses to be able to look like a dalaga.  I mean, c'mon, I just recently ditched some of my mini-skirts because it is not "age-appropriate" - a fact I lamented as I love some of my skirts -  and then now maybe the dress that I bought is not age appropriate as well?

Once again this is the paranoid/in denial me talking.  I do believe you could wear or do whatever you want despite your age!

I unearthed this calendar from my closet:


Talk about one other thing to throw in at eBay!  I remember this autographed calendar from Justin Cuyugan but I do not remember that Bea Alonzo signed it as well.  'Di pa ata sya sikat nun???

"Alam mo, bagay sa 'yo yan; mukha kang dalaga." --> LOL! Signs of aging ba ito? Hehe!
