Ambition

So here we are again: writing and rambling. My latest interest has been the omnipresent fashion scandal. Pardon me, circus. It's an international trend based on Suzy Menkes' article: The Circus of Fashion and a variety of responses. Fashion bloggers are now occupying the streets of whatever city the Fashion Week is held in and it's like a ostro-zebra runway all over the place. Well, fashion bloggers is a very wide term as it now hosts not only meanings that refer to the true concept, but also individuals who run after 15 minutes of fame and designer clothing. Wait... what? Oh, yeah... I was a little bit dreamy out there: absolutely everyone who blogs about fashion is after the fame and the free designer clothing! It might be from the need of leveling up from your current social environment or simply the need to, you know... stand out?

I started out this way. My blog was my path towards fame and glory. And a walk-in closet full of designer shoes and handbags. However, I sadly realized I was going nowhere, not with so many individuals craving the same thing and many of them having so many more means of attaining it: maybe an already huge walk-in closet, maybe the money to buy the equipment. I don't have either of them. So I now indulge myself in letting my blog becoming, once again, my personal style blog. (No, no, I'm not talking about this one. This is meant for PMS-me, when I shed my issues with the world, not the beauty I see in it. And yes, I do see the beauty of the world, often.) I decided to start spreading my 3 big passions in it: fashion ( I am now more aware of how I post and what I post), journalism ( I am trying to add more depth and substance to it by sharing at least a good article per week beside photos) and PR ( which is not about writing, but about building my image even further. My current goal may not be the freebies anymore, but knowing I have the power to create an image, a brand, that is empowering!).

You might think it's silly saying this here, but I believe this is the best form of ambition for me: not setting deadlines for learning something or by planning my schedule before an exam/meeting/interview. That just something I believe anyone can achieve at some point. So here's for a nice post, among the future many ugly ones. And hateful ones.
