Where We're Headed: The 'Outlast' Franchise
Kyle Nakasaka '19 / Emertainment Monthly Staff Writer
Since the initial release of Outlast, a relatively unheard of survival horror game coming out of the publisher Red Barrels, it has managed to achieve enough popularity to warrant a DLC, ports of the game to both Xbox One and PS4, and a very promising demo for its upcoming sequel, Outlast 2. Now, some of you may be wondering what sets the Outlast franchise apart from the growing slosh of jump scare garbage? A lot of things, as it turns out.
Let's talk about the base game of Outlast. Outlast, when it came out, made a very significant splash, first being covered by horror game-based YouTubers. After letting those videos gestate on the internet for some time, the game managed to find its way into the game libraries of thousands upon thousands of gamers. Outlast ended up standing tall among the rubble that is the horror genre for a number of reasons, the most prominent being their sources of scares. In essence, Outlast does not purely rely on jump scares to strike fear into its players; Outlast manages to scare people with its gruesome depictions of a ruined mental asylum, the eerie sound design, and the chase scenes that leave you scrambling to find a hiding space, as well as the well placed jump scares. Despite its use of jump scares, Outlast restrains itself in its jump scares and places them methodically and sometimes in plain sight to unsettle the unwary players. Through its chase scenes, jump scares, eerie sounds, and well done assets, Outlast is able to be a stand out horror game that will sure to be a classic and a must buy for some time to come.
Outlast soon followed up the base game with a DLC entitled Whistleblower which explores the origins of a legend within the game known as the Walrider. The DLC mirrors the main title in both gameplay and aesthetic, but takes a much more plot driven stance when it comes to the narrative. The DLC acts as a prequel, but slowly ends up lining up with the timeline of the base game and tells a more thorough story as a result. Despite being so narratively driven, however, the game still maintains the same level of horror and fear as the original game. With the addition of the prominence of narrative to the original horror aspects to the game, the DLC feels like an improvement technically, though it is significantly shorter than the base game. Once the community got their hands on this package of well done horror, the likes of which haven't seen since Amnesia, the community began clamoring for more.
Cue Outlast 2, the sequel that the horror community had been waiting for. Outlast 2, however, does not pick up the story of Miles, our faithful reporter protagonist from the first game. Instead, we play as Blake Langermann, an investigative journalist working with his wife Lynn to look into the murder of a pregnant woman. So far we only have a demo, but boy, is it a heck of a demo. No spoilers, but if you're expecting another asylum, you'll be sorely mistaken. From what I ended up playing of it, I am very excited for what is to come. The controls feel tighter, the atmosphere feels tense and I am ready to be afraid of playing the game once I pick it up.
Outlast 2 promises to improve on the first game by giving us better graphics, tighter controls, a brand new fresh setting and design, and plenty more. From what I see happening with Outlast 2, it looks like the franchise is heading in a good direction, making individual and unique stories rather than continuing with the same setting and characters for an indefinite amount of time. I think that this will end up keeping the series fresh and intriguing, as well as consumable at an individual level. With games like Metal Gear Solid and other heavily plot driven games, it seems harder and harder for people to just pick it up and get going, but with Outlast's plan for their games, it would be very possible for a player to pick up Outlast 2 without having ever touched the first game. Red Barrels also seems to have managed to swerve around being succumbed by the big game titans that are ruining great indie games. Outlast seems like it's going to stick to its guns and forge its own path rather than fall into line, and I could not be happier with that decision. Overall, I'm very optimistic when it comes to the future of the franchise, and I look forward to Outlast 2 and any other games they have in store for us.

Somehow one of the finest pop acts in existence is commonly woefully ignored by the world at large. Hopefully you might have come across them in the 1990s, but if you didn't, Saint Etienne have been busy amassing an enormous back catalogue for you to enjoy.
Key moments
Their debut cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart, You're in a Bad Way, I Was Born on Christmas Day, Pale Movie, He's on the Phone, and so many other amazing singles.
Where to start
Start with the 2009 double disc singles collection London Conversations, ideally the limited edition version which has marginally more tracks on it.
What to buy
Start with their 1991 debut Foxbase Alpha, then get 1998's brilliant Good Humor. Finally grab their most recent Words and Music by Saint Etienne (2012). Stick to the special editions, if you can find them (some have become rather sought after).
Don't bother with
Surprisingly, Tiger Bay (1994) turns out to be a little forgettable, despite a string of fantastic singles. Their back catalogue is pretty enormous, so stick to the albums initially.
Hidden treasure
Too many to go into any kind of detail, but try Shad Thames, from the Continental compilation, the Résérection EP, the lovely 2001 b-side Northwestern, and the entirety of Foxbase Beta.
For stowaways
- Saint Etienne – Words and Music by Saint Etienne (August 2012)
- A Christmas Countdown – Saint Etienne for I Was Born on Christmas Day (December 2012)
- Top Tracks of 2012 – Saint Etienne (January 2013)
- Saint Etienne – Through the Winter (December 2013)
- Saint Etienne – More Words and Music by Saint Etienne (March 2014)
- Saint Etienne – Casino Classics (Reissue) (May 2014)
- Saint Etienne – Tiger Bay (June 2014)
- Saint Etienne – Heart Failed (In the Back of a Taxi) (September 2014)

New Zealand Energy Corp. ("NZEC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NZ)(OTCQX:NZERF) today announced that the Company has relinquished the Castlepoint and Wairoa permits in the East Coast Basin of New Zealand's North Island.
NZEC continues to hold a 100% interest in the East Cape Permit, which covers 1,048,406 onshore acres in the East Coast Basin, and also controls 97,637 net acres across six permits in the Taranaki Basin of New Zealand's North Island.
"NZEC is focused in the near-term on its Taranaki Basin permits that offer near-term production potential. The Company has also retained its East Cape Permit, which gives the Company more than one million acres and five years to explore the unconventional oil shales and unlock the potential of New Zealand's East Coast Basin," said John Proust, Chief Executive Officer of NZEC. "Relinquishing the Castlepoint and Wairoa permits has reduced our work program commitments by $13.9 million for 2014, and $54.3 million over the life of the relinquished permits. The Company's work program commitments for the East Coast for the remainder of 2014 are now only $64,000. The Company's Taranaki work program commitments for the remainder of 2014 are $3.2 million, of which approximately $320,000 relate to the Company's producing assets.
"NZEC's work on the Castlepoint and Wairoa permits has provided the Company with significant technical information and insight into the Waipawa Black Shale, which will guide the Company's exploration strategy on the East Cape Permit," continued Mr. Proust. "For example, one of the stratigraphic wells that NZEC drilled on the Castlepoint Permit identified a Waipawa horizon that the Company's geology team believes may extend northward into the East Cape Permit. In addition, NZEC's community engagement activities have allowed the Company to build strong relationships with regulators, landowners and iwi communities in the East Coast Basin. We look forward to continuing to build those relationships as we undertake exploration activities on the East Cape Permit."
About New Zealand Energy Corp.
NZEC is an oil and natural gas company engaged in the production, development and exploration of petroleum and natural gas assets in New Zealand. NZEC's property portfolio collectively covers approximately 1.15 million acres of conventional and unconventional prospects in the Taranaki Basin and East Coast Basin of New Zealand's North Island. The Company's management team has extensive experience exploring and developing oil and natural gas fields in New Zealand and Canada, and takes a multi-disciplinary approach to value creation with a track record of successful discoveries. NZEC plans to add shareholder value by executing a technically disciplined exploration and development program focused on the onshore and offshore oil and natural gas resources in the politically and fiscally stable country of New Zealand.

Wandering Ella: Best Cebu Travel Blog Finalist in BCBA 2016
Who would've thought that this nine-month-old blog of mine would make it to the Top Five Finalists for this year's Best Cebu Blogs Awards under the Best Cebu Travel Blog category? To be honest, I don't know what to say.
Best Cebu Blogs Awards is on its 9th year in providing recognition to Cebu blogs and bloggers. And my blog is on its second time to be nominated as a Finalist. Last year, if you remember, A Blissful Blog was a finalist for Best Cebu Photo Blog. This year, I am honestly beyond grateful and happy that for the second time my craft and passion was recognized and my humble space, Wandering Ella, is nominated under the Best Cebu Travel Blog category.
Travel Blog? Really?You may think that I'm not deserving to be a Finalist for the Best Cebu Travel Blog because I don't really have much travel posts compared to my fellow finalists. I'm no frequent traveler. But as you all know, early this year, when I decided to rebrand "A Blissful Blog" to "Wandering Ella", I wanted to push myself to come out of my comfort zone. I laid it all out on my About page that I was a full homebody back then and travel was never in my vocabulary. That's when I knew that wandering around and writing about my experiences is "it" for me. It was what I have never experienced before that inspired me to see the world one place at a time and share it to people who dreams of exploring the world too.
I may not be your favorite travel blogger and my blog may not be your go-to resource for travel tips and stories and honestly it doesn't matter to me. When I decided to blog, I wanted to do it for myself. I just wanted an outlet where I can share my thoughts and feelings. When I decided to go in the travel blogging journey, I did it for myself. I wanted myself to experience what I never experienced in the past years. I wanted to live a life knowing that I was able to enjoy and create memorable moments and sharing those moments with you, my dear readers.
BCBA 2016 Finalist?I don't want to be a hypocrite but I'm going to tell you, it was I, myself who filled out that form and nominated my own blog. When I sent that form, I never expected anything. Because I know that there are a lot of blogs and bloggers who are more deserving. But when I received that one email saying that Wandering Ella is a finalist, I was speechless. I was really, really happy that BCBA saw my blog worthy to make it to the Top Five. Of course, I am not expecting to win the title but the recognition itself is beyond enough for me.
To my fellow Finalists...Whether you're a Finalist for Best Cebu Travel Blog, Best Cebu Photo Blog, Best Cebu Style Blog, or any other category, I just want to say, "Congratulations!" from the bottom of my heart. You made it because you deserve it. Best Cebu Blogs Awards was made with a solid goal and passion to recognize what we do. Let's continue doing what we do best and strive to become even better. Let's keep in mind that this is not a competition. Blogging has never been a competition. Blogging is and will always be about sharing our thoughts and experiences, learning from our fellow bloggers and readers, and creating friendship within each and every blogger.
This year's Best Cebu Blogs Awards Night will be on November 27, 2016 and will be held at Crown Regency Hotel and Towers. This grandiose event is co-presented by PLDT Home and Megaworld Corporation. This was also made possible by UBER, the official ridesharing partner, with the help of the following sponsors and partners: Crown Regency Hotel & Towers and Jollibee as Gold Sponsors, Huawei Philippines as Bronze Sponsor, and Krispy Kreme Philippines, Greenwich Philippines, Starbucks Philippines, Memowriter Writing Services, JKA Glass Enterprises, and Cebu Projectors for Rent as Donor Sponsors.
BCBA 2016's media partner is Cebu Bloggers Society and their official photographer is Alvin Asayas Photography. Other partners for this event are Cebu Fitness Blog, FaceCebu.Net, Geemiz: Accounting & Travel Blog, iJuanderCebu, Almera Talks.
Lastly, to my wonderful readers...I may not have a thousand loyal readers and followers, but each one of you is dear to me. Wandering Ella is nothing without you all. I just want to thank you from the deepest corner of my heart and tell you how grateful I am that you spend a little of your time browsing and reading through my posts. Thank you so much! I hope you guys continue to support me and my humble blog in the coming days, weeks, months, and years!

This morning I made the custard base for the ice cream and then put it in the refrigerator to cool. Then tonight at 7-ish, we made the ice cream. At 7:30, we poured the ice cream into a container to store in the freezer for snacking later. At 7:31, he knocked it over onto the floor.
Luckily for us, there was still some ice cream left in the ice cream mixer bowl. So we ate that. Ohhhhh my goodness. I wish we had the rest of it! It is AWESOME. Previous attempts at making custard-based ice creams have failed because they were too eggy for me. But this one was PERFECT. It didn't taste eggy and it had the perfect consistency. It tasted wonderful. It kind of tasted like Reese's Pieces. And the best part? Not as unhealthy as it sounds. With low-fat ingredients (and Splenda, if you choose to go that route - we didn't), it's not too bad of a choice. I used natural, sugar-free peanut butter as well, which was lovely. We would definitely make this again. And we'd try our hardest not to spill it.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream
CLBB (Nanci)
1/4 cup Splenda
3 large eggs
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup reduced fat peanutbutter, Jif
1 cup sweetened condensed milk -- fat free
1/2 cup half and half -- fat free
2 tsp Vanilla
1/2 cup miniature chocolate chips
In a medium mixing bowl beat the sugar into the eggs until slightly thickened and pale yellow. Set aside. Bring the milk to a simmer in a medium saucepan over low heat. Slowly beat the hot milk into the eggs and sugar. Pour the entire mixture back into the pan and place over low heat. Stir constantly with a wooden spoon or whisk until the custard thickens slightly. Do not let the mixture boil or the eggs will scramble. Remove from the heat and beat in the peanut butter with a whisk. Pour the hot custard through a strainer into a large clean bowl. Allow to cool slightly, then whisk in the condensed milk, half & half and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until cold or overnight. Add 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips when mixture is semi-frozen in ice cream maker.
Yield: 10 servings

While the historic first meeting between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump was a bit on the bland side, at least Ivanka Trump's children were there to provide a bit of entertainment as adorable political props.
Last week, Ivanka posted a video onto her social media accounts of her 5-year-old daughter, Arabella, softly singing the popular Chinese folk song "Mo Li Hua" (茉莉花) to Xi and his wife, Peng Liyuan, a popular folk singer herself. Later, 3-year-old Joseph reportedly joined his sister to recite the Three Character Classic (三字经), a classical poem from the 13th century that has become required reading for young Chinese students.
At the beginning of the video, Ivanka can be heard telling China's first couple that "we want to make you feel at home" inside her father's luxurious Mar-a-Lago resort — where Xi did not stay the night.
Ivanka has taken a somewhat softer approach to fostering relationships with China than her father, posting videos online of her daughter singing and reciting poetry in Mandarin, turning Arabella into a viral star.
Back in February, Ivanka even took Arabella with her to the Chinese Embassy to take in the Spring Festival festivities and presumably groom her for her future role as the US Ambassdor to China.
Though now Arabella appears to have some competition for the job. Ivanka's 1-year-old son, Theodore, is following in his big sister's footsteps. Ivanka posted a picture onto her Instagram account last Tuesday showing herself and Theodore playing with a set of educational blocks with Chinese characters.
Maybe when Trump visits China later this year, Xi's daughter can entertain him with some English-language songs?

|Fine Art Print - 10 x 8 - Signed- "Rays of Hamsa"
This is a color photo print of my original artwork titled "Rays of Hamsa",
which was done on canvas in acrylics and patterned paper.
The watermark is on the digital image only and will not appear in the
actual print.
The Hamsa amulet is popular throughout North Africa, and commonly
used in jewelry and wall hangings. The Hand (Khamsa), particularly the
open right hand, is a sign of protection that also represents blessings,
power, and strength, and is seen as potent in deflecting the evil eye.
It is also known as the hand of Fatima, so named to commemorate
Muhammad's daughter Fatima Zahra. Christians call it the hand of Mary,
for the mother of Jesus. Following its incorporation into Jewish tradition
via its widespread use in the Islamic world, it was also renamed the hand
of Miriam for Miriam, sister of Moses.
Image is professionally printed on card-stock with beautiful and vibrant
ink quality!
Image was photographed to represent original colors, but your monitor
colors may vary the colors slightly.
The actual print measures 10 and 1/4 inches by 8 and 1/8 inches.
It has about a 1/4 inch border around the picture on all 4 sides.
It is ready for framing or matting and will be signed on the back.

Panzera Realty is proud to have recently partnered with the local private nonprofit organization, The Homeless Families Foundation of Columbus (HFF)!
Here's what you should know about HFF:
Who: HFF is a private nonprofit organization in Columbus, Ohio serving homeless families. The organization believes it is unacceptable for any child in Columbus to be homeless, and it receives homeless children and their families from the system crisis entry point and oversees their care as they work toward overcoming the barriers that initially caused them to become homeless. HFF's vision is to contribute to the reduction of generational homelessness in our community by providing the highest quality customer-focused services that set the standard of practice for all service providers.
What: HFF's programs include housing assistance, holistic case management, and the Dowd Education Center for children. In 2014, HFF served 254 families, including 497 children, and 89% were successfully moved to permanent housing. The organization believes that most families, with some help, are capable of living independently and can best work to address their issues when they are in a stable, long-term home environment.
When: HFF has been helping local homeless families find permanent, stable housing solutions since 1986.
Where: Formerly located on Broad Street, the HFF building is now located in a beautifully renovated warehouse space at 33 N. Grubb St., off of Broad Street just west of COSI. At that location are HFF's administrative offices as well as The Dowd Education Center (DEC), which provides a food program and licensed, state-of-the-art afterschool and summer programs for children in grades K through middle school. It also has a secure playground with age-appropriate equipment, basketball courts, a vegetable garden, trees, picnic tables and benches.
Why: At Panzera Realty, we work with our real estate investors to find the right long-term tenants for their Columbus, Ohio investment properties. HFF works as a Housing First agency to find stable, long-term housing for area families who've been in crisis and unable to sustain that home environment for their children. Over the last few years, HFF has reached out to us to place a few families in our tenancies, and we're proud to now become one of their local business contributors.

Springfree™ Trampoline welcomes the New South Wales Minister for Fair Trade's review into trampoline safety.
Virginia Judge has ordered a NSW Product Safety Committee review into the safety of backyard trampolines.
The review will consider the nature of the Australian Trampoline standard which is currently voluntary and making safety enclosures a requirement.
An estimated 9 – 16 thousand Australian children are presented to emergency departments annually from trampoline injuries, meaning this inquiry is critical.
At Springfree™ Trampoline we've been working tirelessly for 5 years to make backyards safer. Traditional spring-based trampolines cause a staggering number of injuries.
Children are injured falling into the springs and frame of traditional trampolines, or falling off or into rigid enclosure poles – we have removed these elements completely from our design – effectively removing the risk of equipment induced injuries.
Imagine if a major car manufacturer sold a product to which you could directly attribute at least 9,000 injuries per year? It would be banned no questions asked. We hope this is the first step towards creating a formal mandated trampoline standard in Australia – ensuring consumers are protected from unsafe products.

Thanks for reading – until next time, safe jumping!

"Never give a sword to a man who can't dance" – Confucius
If you're like me, you enjoy seeing how major television shows and their participants operate behind the scenes. Still, even with members from the Redskins in Los Angeles on Monday to document Josh Norman's final hours of preparation, the condensed schedule of "Dancing with the Stars" and Norman's dedication to practicing with the team each week makes his ability to memorize two dances over the course of several days quite remarkable.
After receiving the second-highest scores of the night last week on the season premiere, Norman put a lot of pressure on himself to equal or exceed expectations. This week's dance was a Paso Doble, and Norman danced to "The Theme From Zorro." That synced well with the couple's introductory video feature, which caught up with he and Sharna at his farm in Greenwood, S.C.
"This town didn't ask for a hero, it needs one, and that hero is me," Norman said, all but whisking his imaginary sword in the shape of a "Z." Monday night, he and Sharna started the show off with some western flare, beginning frozen with some dynamic poses and then finding their groove once the music kicked its spurs. This was a slower, more technical dance, built on posture and attitude, a Norman specialty.
The ending is quite dramatic, as Norman swords Sharna and then eliminates two foes behind him with outstretched arms.
This week added a previous winner to the judge's table in Rashad Jennings, who was impressed with his NFL peer, though didn't reflect that as much with his score (later inflating everyone else's). Len Goodman said he expected a dip in dancing with the duo's tight schedule, but Josh "came out and did equally good," he said. Bruno likened his energy to Killmonger from Black Panther, adding that his sculptural shapes were great but that he has to "sustain the lines in his hands." Carrie Ann Inaba had a similar critique, but was impressed with his posing.
The duo received a score of 30 from the four judges, but maybe the best feedback came from Sharna, who believed Josh performed that dance the best of all their practices.
Speaking of, did you catch the Redskins' Twitter account? It had you covered on some of the practicing before the show. Did you also happen to catch Jimmy Kimmel's prediction? His comedic sidekick/henchman/friend Guillermo pulled Norman's name out of a hat, predicting that Norman would win this season. It's not exactly science, but let's go with it.
Norman's current and former teammates were a little quieter in their praise of Norman on Twitter, a bi-product of the Capitals game airing at the same time.
Norman finished his night in a group dance, playing on "Team 50s Tennis" and the challenge of him doing this dance with more partners is considerable since he missed practice time while in Ashburn. Kareem Abdul-Jabar played the coach in this scenario – with his lack of movement skills – and Norman was featured near the end spinning Sharna around. He's not bad with a racket.
The group received a 33, which helped in Josh's final individual score, the lowest of the night. However, the people voted well. Norman will stick around for the third week (just as the Capitals won, too). Another red-eye flight and another shot in the spotlight.

Author – Dean Crawford
Published – 2011
Genre – Adventure / Thriller
Covenant is the debut novel from Dean Crawford, a Surrey-based author. The hardback was published in October 2011 and the paperback will be out on 10 November 2011.
How do I begin to describe this book? Well it's quite long (almost 700 pages) and pretty much all of those pages are action packed. The story has multiple threads and the action takes place in both the USA and Israel / Palestine. The main thread of the story is the disappearance of Lucy Morgan, an American paleontologist, last seen in a restricted area of the Negev desert in Israel. Lucy has been investigating a dig-site independently and found remains and "whatever it is, it didn't evolve on this planet". Unfortunately there's a peace treaty about to be signed to bring stability to the area, and the authorities are reluctant to get involved, so Lucy's grandfather persuades war correspondent and ex-Marine Ethan Warner to help. Warner is a troubled man, though, and has his own agenda when it comes to visiting the Middle East.
Coincidental (or is it?) to Lucy's disappearance, three bodies are found in an abandoned house in Washington DC, apparently the result of a drugs overdose, but the investigating officers aren't so sure. Toxic fumes from one of the bodies which hospitalise a surgeon during the autopsy only increase their suspicions that all is not what it seems.
There's also an evangelical preacher, a Senator who has his sights set on the White House, and a mysterious military organisation called MACE.
Warner is our action hero – accompanying Lucy's mother to Israel he soon gets on the wrong side of the authorities there and plenty of action ensues – car chases, fights, explosions, aerobatics. Warner is determined in his quest to find Lucy, though, and bring those responsible for her capture to some sort of justice. Some of the action is pretty brutal and described in graphic detail.
For me the characters were a little lacking in depth, in Crawford's defense there were a lot of characters, but there are a few more main ones who could have done with more development. Warner himself was an odd mix of violent and sensitive.
The language at times is a little flowery, especially considering the subject matter and I think I would have expected something a bit more masculine and down-to-earth from this author & in this genre.
I found the main premise of the book an interesting one, and something which I think will see me having a search on Google to find out more. It all made sense at the time, but I'm curious to know how much of the background Crawford provided is based in fact – or if I'm on Google "fact".
It's no surprise that Crawford counts Michael Crichton and Wilbur Smith amongst his favourite reads, but I would hazard a guess that he's also read some Clive Cussler. And I noticed at least one nod to Indiana Jones too. A fun read with a complex plot and plenty of action.
Score – 3/5 (or 3.5 if I allowed half marks )

Currently: December 2017
GUYS. We made it to the end of 2017 without imploding! Well maybe we did but we're still standing so that's something. Without a doubt, this month was busy and fun and everything in between!
Clearly, I am rushing December entries for the end of the year and probably won't be able to do my last one but here's to trying anyway. I think 2017 was minimal effort, maximal forgiveness for myself. And hey, I'm still here, somehow.( Collapse )
12 of 12: When I tried but just couldn't
Well, this was painful but I did it. I've been doing this meme for quite some time now and it's been fun when I've had amazing days but this was not an amazing day. It was a work day and there wasn't much to see.
So here it is, the last instalment for the year, 3 weeks too late or so.
- Take 12 photos on the 12th of each month
- Post the pictures chronological order
- Indicate the time, location, and a small comment
- Taken from Chad at 12 of 12!
Currently: November 2017
Well, November went by quickly, no? I barely blinked and then November 30 came and went and now it's December and before we know it, I'll be wrapping up the year and we'll be finished~ with 2017.
Every year (after the time capsule memes of yore ended), I would write myself a locked time capsule and only unlock it a year later and it surprises me how much things have changed and how much they've stayed the same. I'll need a drink as I write myself this year.( Collapse )
12 of 12: When I slept and ate and slept and ate (and worked some)
It was a pretty hectic end of the week for me with having to travel to Jakarta and Yangon for work back to back Friday and Saturday so when Sunday rolled along, I was happy to finally be back home (even if there was still some work to do).
I napped a lot and ate a lot and then napped in between working some. I could have shared Jakarta and Yangon shots but that was mostly work too, so instead here are food shots from my day.
- Take 12 photos on the 12th of each month
- Post the pictures chronological order
- Indicate the time, location, and a small comment
- Taken from Chad at 12 of 12!
Currently: October 2017
And it's over! Quarter 3 is 1/3 done and I'm not sure how I like this 2017 going by so quickly. But there it is anyway. October was more 'chill' with me getting back to my routines of being in Singapore and actually waking up in my bed. Strange, but I like it.
I said hello to friends that visited and saw some of those I haven't seen in a while but also said goodbye to new friends who I thought I could spend more time with but work takes them away. I hope your Octobers were fantastic.( Collapse )
I Want It That Way
So. I went to a Backstreet Boys concert last Saturday. And my voice has not return since. It was a glorious time. And obviously, after a concert, one goes into a YouTube spiral. I was messaging mellowdee because I could not contain the feelings I had inside of me.
It's funny because way back when, I liked the Backstreet Boys before I devoted a good chuck of my teenage years to *N Sync. But thanks to Justin Timberlake (and I support his career completely), I will probably never see that group together again. Meanwhile, the Backstreet Boys have been so constant.
I saw them five years ago with NKOTB when they visited Manila, and though everyone's clearly aged and had kids (not me, the boys), it was still a joy to sing my lungs out.( Collapse )
And finally, because the lovely, Christy is hosting a friending meme, please go and support below:
Come join the party ( ! ) multi-fandom friending meme
Because I can't go to sleep with Zodiac on my mind
The roommates decided to watch Zodiac tonight and I had never seen it even if had Jake Gyllenhaal (love of my life) in it. It was a great movie but now I realised why i haven't seen it. It's heavy stuff! Amazing but disturbing and now, Hannah and I are sleeping with our doors open just so we can check in on each other.
And so to distract myself, i thought, well, I should put YouTube on. And voila, here I am. Spiralling.( Collapse )
12 of 12: When I'm finally back to following the rules~
It's been month after month of semi-travel to actual work travel to just me wanting to show you more interesting days. The funny thing about this month was that I woke up on the 11th of the month, CONVINCED that it was the 12th.
I even felt annoyed at myself for starting taking photos late and forgetting to do so for a bit in the middle of the day. By the evening, I went for a run and when I got back home past midnight, I check my phone and realise. Oh wait. The 12th JUST started. And so here are photos from the second day I tried to make my day more interesting. I can't say I was successful.
- Take 12 photos on the 12th of each month
- Post the pictures chronological order
- Indicate the time, location, and a small comment
- Taken from Chad at 12 of 12
Currently: September 2017
I can't complain too much about September because I started and ended the month with wonderful trips back home -- the first one on a whim and the second one because I had to but I definitely wanted to.
And in between were lots and lots of friend time both in Singapore and in Manila. Just what the doctor ordered -- well among other things!( Collapse )

Prominent crossbench senator Nick Xenophon is confident he has never held Greek or Cypriot citizenship.
The South Australian insists he contacted the Greek embassy and Cypriot High Commission in 2007 to renounce any citizenship claims.
But Senator Xenophon is not certain there's any official documented response to his renunciations.
"I'd have to go through literally boxes and boxes of archives from an election campaign 10 years ago," he said
"I have never had citizenship of another country, never wanted citizenship of another country."
Senator Xenophon was born to Greek and Cypriot parents at the Burnside War Memorial Hospital in Adelaide.
Senator Xenophon said his understanding from other MPs in a similar position was that those making such citizenship inquiries often don't receive a response.
"The issue of whether an MP is a dual citizen or not will be a festering farce until there has been a full audit of all MPs and senators and there needs to be a resolution through the High Court."
Labor senator Sam Dastyari appeared at the end of Senator Xenophon's doorstep for what looked like a set piece.
"I am not an Iranian citizen," Senator Dastyari said in Farsi.
"I am not a Greek or Cypriot citizen," Senator Xenophon said in Greek.
"We're feeling much more Aussie than our colleagues today," Senator Dastyari said in closing.

Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday called for pacification in connection with the deadly Qabrshmoun incident but stressed that his party "stands by its ally" MP Talal Arslan.
"From the very first moments after the Qabrshmoun incident, we started our contacts to pacify the situation," Nasrallah revealed in an interview on al-Manar television.
"Stability in Lebanon is in our interest," Nasrallah added, describing claims that Hizbullah "wants to blow up the Druze arena" as "immoral."
"We call for pacification but we stand by our ally… Our ally was aggrieved and his men were killed," he said, referring to Arslan and the slain bodyguards of State Minister for Refugee Affairs Saleh al-Gharib.
Describing Arslan's call for referring the incident to the Judicial Council as "logical," Nasrallah said "the decision is in our ally's hand and we stand by him."
He also described Prime Minister Saad Hariri's decision to postpone the latest cabinet session as "wise."
"We are against the suspension of the cabinet," he said.
As for the relation with Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat, Nasrallah said: "We did not err against Jumblat; he is the one who started the problem with us when he spoke about the weapons."
Separately, Nasrallah revealed that the Trump administration is seeking "channels of communications" with Hizbullah through mediators.
Turning to Syria, Nasrallah confirmed that Hizbullah has decreased the number of fighters supporting the Damascus regime.
"We are present in every area that we used to be. We are still there, but we don't need to be there in large numbers as long as there is no practical need," he said.
The head of the Iran-backed group, which has been fighting in Syria since 2013, did no quantify the extent of the reduction.
Backed by Russia and Iran, the Damascus government has taken back large swathes of territory from rebels and jihadists since 2015, and now controls around 60 percent of the country.
Nasrallah said none of his fighters were currently involved in fighting in Syria's northwestern region of Idlib, where regime and Russian forces have increased deadly bombardment on a jihadist-run bastion since late April.
Nasrallah spoke after Washington announced fresh sanctions Tuesday against Hizbullah, targeting elected officials from the movement for the first time.
"All dealings with the Syria file have nothing to do with the sanctions or the financial austerity," he said.
Nasrallah also warned that U.S. ally Israel would not remain intact if a war broke out between the United States and Iran.
"Iran is able to bombard Israel with ferocity and force," he said.
His remarks came after weeks of increasing tensions between the United States and Iran as U.S. President Donald Trump steps up his war of words with the Islamic Republic.
"When the Americans understand that this war could wipe out Israel, they will reconsider," Nasrallah said.
"Our collective responsibility in the region is to work towards preventing an American war on Iran," he said.
He also warned that Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates had no interest in a conflict erupting.

I've seen a lot of products in this blogger job over the years. You badasses have grown this community to a pretty nice size and companies are eager to show you their stuff. I put the kibosh on much of it because it's useless, expensive or doesn't fill a real need.
I have noticed something pretty remarkable; the best products are created by the people who have experienced a gap firsthand. A lot of us can identify a gap, but a special few can envision a way to fill it. A couple of those people are Helen and Tobi. [Read more…]
Did you know that the breast shield flange of a breast pump comes in different sizes? It's actually a very important detail to your pumping success! We all know that every woman's breast is a unique size and shape, but this is also true of her nipple. In order to pump the most milk possible and not experience pain while you do it you need to have a correctly fitted breast shield.
I was recently talking with a group of moms and heard many of them say that they didn't know that breast shields come in different sizes. They thought it was "one size fits all." It's so easy to miss this type of information when we have never done this before and we are busy taking care of a newborn baby! If you are experiencing pain or discoloration of your nipple while you pump, little to no milk output, a pulling or rubbing sensation while pumping or cracked/blistered nipples you may have a flange that is not the correct size.
But how do you know what size you are? How do you know if you are currently using an incorrect size? The gang at Pumpables has done something truly unique. You don't have to wonder anymore and you are no longer on your own to figure it out. When I first heard that breast shields come in various sizes I held a few up to my breast, shrugged and took my best guess. But this is not the best way to get the correct size!
Check out Pumpables' new Fitting Room. You can take a short video of your breast in the breast shield while pumping and upload it to their website. Then fill out a questionnaire and a representative will get back to you with feedback about how your breast shield is fitting. Your video is kept absolutely confidential and is immediately deleted. Your video is not shared with anyone so you can rest assured no one besides the consultant will see it.
You can upload your video right to their website as you fill out the questionnaire.
Many women claim that they do not pump much milk. It's true that women respond differently to pumping, but sometimes it's simply a matter of a breast shield that doesn't fit right. You know your breasts will change size and shape over your breastfeeding and pumping journey, but your nipples will as well. It's possible that your correct fit will change over time, multiple times! So be sure to monitor how your nipples feel and how much milk you are pumping as changes could indicate that you need to make a breast shield size adjustment.
If you are a working mom or spend long periods of time away from your baby you have probably experienced concerns about being able to "keep up" with your baby. Meaning that you fear your baby will drink more milk than you can pump. Sometimes a few minor tweaks to your pumping routine such as using Hands On Pumping or breast massages while pumping can help increase milk output. It's also very common for child care providers to overfeed babies. You can work with your child care provider to avoid overfeeding. And make sure to upload a video to Pumpables' Fitting Room to assure that you are using the correct sized breast shield.
Our names are Susan and Elizabeth and we have children whose ages are similar to the Badass Breastfeeder. We've watched her spread her messages for breastfeeding advocacy, which we've loved to support because we've had a parallel path – to revolutionize breastfeeding for new mothers through new technologies.
Over the past 6 years, we have worked hard with a dedicated team to develop new breastfeeding technologies that will help mothers achieve their personal feeding goals more effectively. Our new compression and vibration technology is rooted in scientific understanding of breast physiology, clinical data supporting the importance of hands on pumping and vibration as well as hundreds of hours of testing for a diverse group of volunteer testers. Our first product, U Boost, helps to increase your milk output. [Read more…]
Nothing is really ever free, is it? Even when advertised as free it usually comes with a price somewhere down the line. Like a free magazine subscription, only to discover the first issue was free, but not the rest! They send them anyway because now they've got you. And the bill comes in the mail with not much you can do because you've already read the magazine. And, oh boy, try calling customer service. It's really just an 800 number to some people who are trying to sell you more things. [Read more…]
If you ever travel with your breast pump you need a bag. But not all bags are created equal. If you travel outside with your pump often (to work or simply get outside!) then your transport bag is just as important as the pump itself. Too bold of a statement? I don't think so. If you use a standard bag that your pump comes with then you know that they make those just so that the pump and its parts fit inside. What about all of your work stuff? Your laptop, purse, lunch, diapers? Not mention trying to carry your baby… [Read more…]
You know who has the perfect body? You do. Your body is yours, it is completely unique and no matter how you feel about it, it is the perfect vessel through which you are experiencing this life with right now. [Read more…]

Fan Question:
"I'm trying to establish a pumping routine to have a milk stash. My daughter is a month old and I have only pumped a few times. Every time I do, she drinks my pumped milk sometime that day because I'm low after I pump. Every time I think about pumping I worry that she will need the milk, so I don't and then I leak lol. Need some advice as to how to establish a good pumping routine and have a good stash….thanks" [Read more…]

I found out I was pregnant on thanksgiving day of 2012. My Fiancé and I were so excited! I always knew that I wanted to breastfeed and did my research on it throughout the pregnancy. I also knew I wanted a natural birth, mostly because I already have a high pain tolerance and I'm very sensitive to medications. EVERYONE I knew (family, coworkers, strangers, etc.) told me breastfeeding was painful, awkward, difficult, etc. they also told me once I was in labor I'd be begging for pain medicine like they all were. Their lack of confidence in my decisions only made me more determined to stick to my plans! [Read more…]

An ounce of determination + an ounce of education and an ounce of support = unlimited ounces of breastmilk
Sounds easy, huh? As I close in on six months of exclusively breastfeeding, easy isn't what comes to mind, however it's such an achievement and great gift to my dear Macie. [Read more…]


text: Ajax has won its first friendly match on Saturday, 1-5 at RKC Waalwijk. Derk Boerrigter was on a roll, scoring three goals. Ruben Ligeon and Boban Lazic brought the team's goal total to five. Thanks to the format of two matches in one day, coach Frank de Boer is able to let 22 players play for an hour. And with two weeks left until the start of the new season, this was a definite advantage.

Angela Merkel needs a treaty change to prevent the German constitutional court from blocking the bail-out fund as a breach of the EU law
Bondholders will discover burden-sharing. Debt relief will be enforced, either by 'interest holidays' or 'haircuts' on the value of the bonds. Investors will pay the price for failing to grasp the mechanical and obvious point that currency unions do not eliminate risk: they switch it from exchange risk to default risk.
What were investors thinking when they bought Greek 10-year bonds at 26 basis points over Bunds in 2007, below the spread between British Columbia and Quebec? "We must keep in mind the feelings of our people, who have a justified desire to see that private investors are also on the hook, and not just taxpayers," said German Chancellor Angela Merkel. Or in the words of Bundesbank chief Axel Weber: "Next time there is a problem, (bondholders) should be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. So far the only ones who have paid for the solution are the taxpayers."
These were the terms imposed by Germany at Friday's EU summit as the Quid Pro Quo for the creation of a 'permanent' rescue fund in 2013. A treaty change will be rammed through under Article 48 of the Lisbon Treaty, a trick that circumvents the need for full ratification. Eurosceptics can feel vindicated in warning that this "escalator" clause would quickly be exploited for 'unchecked treaty-creep'.
Mrs Merkel needs a treaty change to prevent the German constitutional court from blocking the bail-out fund as a breach of the EU law, and a treaty change is what she will get. "This will strengthen my position with the Karlsruhe court," she admitted openly. One might argue that bondholders should have been punished for their errors long ago.
The stench of moral hazard has been sickening, on both sides of the Atlantic. An orderly bankruptcy along lines routinely engineered by the International Monetary Fund is exactly what Greece needs. It makes no sense to push Greece further into a debt compound spiral by raising public debt from 115% of GDP at the outset of the "rescue" to 150% at the end of the ordeal. If you strip out the humbug, the Greek package allows banks and funds to shift roughly €150bn of liabilities onto EU governments, or the European Central Bank, or the IMF. Greek citizens are being subjected to the full pain of austerity under false pretences, without being offered the cure of debt relief.
It is in reality a bail-out for investors. There is a touch of cruelty in this. Needless to say, the Greek Left has noticed. A socialist dissident from the "anti-Memorandum" bloc (ie, anti EU-IMF) is likely to win the Athens region in coming elections.
Note too that the ruling socialists have fallen to 25% in the Portuguese polls, while the Communists and hard-left Bloco are together up to 18%. Ain't seen nothing, you might say. Yet opening the door to bondholder 'haircuts' at this delicate juncture— with spreads reaching fresh records in Ireland last week, and Portugal struggling to pass a budget— is to toss a hand-grenade into the eurozone periphery. We now know that that ECB's Jean-Claude Trichet warned EU leaders on Thursday night that it was dangerous to stir up this hornets' nest, and moreover that the politicians did not understand what they were unleashing. He was slammed down acrimoniously by French President Nicholas Sarkozy, who later denied that he lost his temper.
"Mr Trichet expressed a number of reserves. There was a debate, there is always a debate, but the European Council took its decision," he said. "It is wrong to say I was irritated. You can reproach heads of state for all kinds of things in a democracy, but I don't think you can reproach them for not being aware of 'the seriousness of the situation'," he snorted.
Mr Sarkozy was not going to let his Brussels 'triomphe' slip away after stitching up EU affairs once again in a pre-emptive deal with Germany and imposing his will. The notion that the Franco-German axis still runs Europe is potent politics in France, even if the decisions actually reached are often of little value or— as in this case— ill-advised. Such is the chemistry of EU summits, where mad things happen.
Spain's premier Jose-Luis Zapatero knew he had been mugged. "We need to listen carefully to what the head of the ECB says about the rescue mechanism. Great care is called for because this message is risky," he said.
Eurozone sovereign states must issue €915bn in new bonds next year, according to the UBS, either to roll over debt or to cover very big deficits— though it is hard to outdo Ireland's deficit of 32% of GDP in 2009. Yet investors have just been told in blunt terms to charge a hefty risk premium on any peripheral debt that expires after 2013, with great confusion over what happens even before that date. Can any investor be sure what the terms will be if Ireland or Portugal needs to access the EU's bail-out fund next week, or next month, or next year? Are haircuts already de rigueur?
A study by Giada Giani at Citigroup entitled "Bondholders Moving Back Home" said data from the second quarter reveals a sharp drop in foreign ownership of debt from Greece (-14%), Portugal (-12%), Spain (-8%), and Ireland (-5%). Local banks have stepped into the breach, borrowing cheaply from the ECB to buy their own state debt at higher yields in a 'carry trade' that concentrates risk. These four countries account for the lion's share of the €448bn in ECB funding for banks (Spain €98bn, Greece €94bn). Frankfurt is propping up this unstable edifice. Mr Trichet may well fret.
A strong case can be made that Spain has decoupled from the other PIIGS in pain, though the deficit will still be 6% next year, and the economy is at serious risk of a double-dip recession as wage cuts and higher taxes bite in earnest. But none are safe yet. An ominous pattern has emerged across much of the eurozone periphery: tax revenue keeps falling short of what was hoped for. Austerity measures are eating deeper into the economy than expected, forcing further fiscal cuts. It goes too far to call this a 'self-feeding spiral', but such policies test political patience to the snapping point.
There is little that these nations can do in the short-run as EMU members. They cannot offset fiscal tightening with full monetary stimulus or a weaker exchange rate— as Britain can. All they do can is 'soldier on', sell family silver to the Chinese and Gulf Arabs, beg the ECB to join the currency war to bring down the euro, and pray that the fragile global recover does not sputter out.
Chancellor Merkel is ultimately correct. A mechanism for sovereign defaults is entirely healthy. Had it been in place long ago, EMU would have been stronger. The proper timing for this was at the Maastricht Treaty, or Amsterdam, or at the latest Nice, but in those days the EU elites were still arrogantly dismissive about the full implications of a currency union. To wait until now borders on carelessness.
EU 'Haircut' Plans Rattle Bondholders

Germany has agreed to give the EU's €440bn (£383bn) bail-out fund permanent status rather than letting it expire in 2013 as planned, but only as part of a "Crisis Resolution Mechanism" that forces bondholders to share losses from any future bail-outs. The fund must be anchored in EU law through changes to the Treaties in order to head off legal challenges at Germany's constitutional court. A draft proposal from Berlin— now serving as a working text for the European Commission— calls for "orderly insolvency" by eurozone countries in trouble.
Details are sketchy, but this "Chapter 11" for sovereign states would include an extension of debt maturities, a "holiday" on interest payments for as long as needed to let debtors recover, and a suspension of bondholder rights. The blueprint is akin to debt-restucturing schemes used by the International Monetary Fund. Under a Finnish proposal, there are likely to be "Collective Action Clauses" in all new bond issues to prevent minority bondholders blocking a default deal.
European President Herman van Rompuy will be tasked to draw up a blueprint for the crisis mechanism. There may also be a Sovereign Debt Restructuring Mechanism (SDRM). Berlin is determined to avoid a repeat of the €110bn bailout for Greece when banks were shielded from losses, leaving eurozone taxpayers facing the full cost.
Silvio Peruzzo, Europe economist at RBS, said talk of "haircuts" for bondholder at this delicate juncture could backfire. "The debt crisis in the eurozone periphery has not been sorted out. These countries need markets to keep buying the bonds, but investors are going to stay away if you open the door to private sector pain," he said.
It is unclear whether the latest bond jitters in Greece, Ireland, and Portugal is linked to growing awareness of the German plans. Each country has its own troubles. Yields on Ireland's 10-year bonds briefly rose to a post-EMU high above 7% on Thursday, partly due to a stand-off between Dublin and angry funds facing losses on the junior debt of Anglo Irish Bank. However, EU officials fear that the proposals could make it harder for such high-debt states to tap debt markets, risking a self-fulfilling [[and ultimately intractable: normxxx]] crisis.
Germany is likely to win backing in principle at Friday's EU summit in Brussels since it has already struck a deal with France, and Britain has dropped its opposition to treaty changes. Brussels believes it is possible to invoke Article 48.6, which allows changes to the Lisbon Treaty without the political trauma of referenda or full ratification in all 27 states. This "simplified revision" can be used to cover matters in Part III of the Treaty, but the EU risks a political backlash if it tries to push through such a controversial plan by these means. Viviane Reding, the EU justice commissioner, said it was "suicidal" to tinker with the treaties so soon after the Lisbon storm.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is also demanding EU powers to strip countries of their voting rights if they breach eurozone rules, but this has been dismissed by Brussels as "totally unacceptable" and will be blocked by other states. The summit was intended to endorse plans by an EU taskforce for a beefed-up Stability Pact but, as so often at EU meetings, France and Germany have run away with the agenda. The German proposals have a logic since they let struggling states claw their way out crisis by reducing debt. Greece's rescue risks failure because it will leave the country with public debt of 150% of GDP, near the 'Point Of No Return'.

T-Mobile is eliminating one of the last remaining obstacles for individuals and families wanting to switch from AT&T, Sprint or Verizon to the Uncarrier by offering to pay off their early termination fees. With an eligible phone trade-in, the total value of the offer to switch to T-Mobile could be as high as $650 per line.
"We're giving families a 'Get Out of Jail Free Card,' said John Legere, president and chief executive officer of T-Mobile, in a statement. "Carriers have counted on staggered contract end dates and hefty early termination fees to keep people bound to them forever. But now families can switch to T-Mobile without paying a single red cent to leave them behind."
Customers have been attracted to T-Mobile for its no annual service contract Simple Choice Plan, industry-leading JUMP! upgrade program, unlimited global data at no extra charge in 100-plus countries, and most recently for Free Data for Life on every tablet – up to 200 MB of free 4G LTE data every month for as long as they own their tablet and use the registered device with T-Mobile. But Nielsen research suggests up to 40% of families hold back from switching because of high early termination fees (ETFs), and a recent online poll conducted by GigaOM suggests that 78% would switch to T-Mobile if their ETF was paid. ETFs can cost as much as $350 per line. Multiply that two, three or four times for a family, and switching becomes an extremely expensive proposition.
"Carriers like to make you think you're just signing up for two years with their family plans, but with staggered expiration dates and early termination fees, they're really locking you in forever," said Mike Sievert, chief marketing officer for T-Mobile, in a statement. "Now, families are free to switch without worrying about early termination fees. And by switching to T-Mobile, a family of four can save $1,880 over two years compared to an AT&T shared family plan."
Here's how T-Mobile's offer to pay off these fees works:
Starting tomorrow, customers from the three major national carriers who hand in their eligible devices at any participating T-Mobile location and switch to a postpaid Simple Choice Plan can receive an instant credit, based on the value of their phone, of up to $300. They then purchase any eligible device, including T-Mobile's most popular smartphones, now priced at $0 down (plus 24 monthly device payments, for well-qualified customers). After customers get the final bill from their old carrier (showing their early termination fees), they either mail it to T-Mobile or upload it to www.switch2tmobile.com. T-Mobile then sends an additional payment equal to those fees, up to $350 per line. Trade-in of their old phone, purchase of a new T-Mobile phone and porting of their phone number to T-Mobile are required to qualify.
T-Mobile is also making it easier for its longtime customers to migrate to Simple Choice plans as well without incurring any migration fees. To qualify for this option a current customer under contract trades in their current device and purchases a new T-Mobile device and switches to Simple Choice. In addition to waiving the migration fee, T-Mobile will also eliminate the existing annual service contract for that customer's line.
With a Simple Choice Plan from T-Mobile, families start with one line at $50 per month for unlimited talk, text and web with up to 500 MB of 4G LTE data. They can add a second phone line for $30 per month, and each additional line is just $10 per month. In short, a family could get four lines for $100 per month (plus taxes and fees). The potential savings are so significant that if every single AT&T, Sprint and Verizon customer switched to a Simple Choice Plan, T-Mobile estimates they would save up to $20 billion collectively each year.

Thinking about this very seriously. Anybody have T-mo? How is the service?

Getting older crosses my mind every single day. It interrupts my thoughts constantly with internal chatter like, "You're too old for that" and "That's not age-appropriate." And, with a 24-year old daughter close at hand to remind me, it can be a difficult mantra to shake.
I used to think that between 45-50 women received notice, like certified mail, that it was de rigueur to make adjustments to their wardrobes. Throw out the cute and bring in the dowdy. Several years ago, I commented on how awesome a 42-year old woman looked in her faded jeans, white t-shirt, leather jacket, and leather boots. She responded, "I can't wear things like this much longer so I gotta take advantage of it while I can." I asked her "Why?" and she said, "Well, after 45, I need to dress my age."
Really? Who said? Some fashion "experts" do. Recently, I came across several articles that listed fashion mistakes that make women look old. They ranged from things like, wearing too dark lipstick, putting on super thick mascara, using too natural foundation and too shimmery eye shadow, sporting skirts above the knee, wearing tweed, to putting on those "mom jeans." I could blow most of them off but then, I saw the worst offender: wearing black. I had read enough.
First, black looks awesome. It is always appropriate. It can be dressed up or dressed down. You can eat anything, including crawfish, in black and still look clean. It hides wrinkles and goes with everything. Most importantly, black is timeless which makes it ageless. So, there. But, what I had heard and read made me think about my fashion style and why I wore what I did.
I wear clothes that fit well. I get my dress clothes altered but you can find me in workout clothes most of the time. I run and lift. I eat well and take quality supplements. As a result, I have a trim waist that I have worked my butt off to get. I have broad shoulders that are strong from weight lifting (which I took up at age 46), and I jog so my legs still have a little more muscle than cellulite. My clothing choices reflect the work I have put into maintaining my health and I am proud of it. There was no way I was going to trade in my running pants for sweats; my workout tops for baggy t-shirts. No way.
My skirts, dresses, and pants usually have a little stretch in them and conform to my curves. I love wearing black. My favorite ensemble is a pencil skirt right to my knees and a short-waisted sweater with ¾ length sleeves. My eyeliner frames my green eyes, the windows to my soul. My matte lipstick is a color that "goes with everything" and when I feel like it, I go ahead and add a dash of shimmer on my eyelids. I feel like a goddess when I get dressed. I feel beautiful. Top 10 Mistakes, you can take a hike.
I have discovered that true, authentic "fashion" isn't built around color, length, or fabric. It has nothing to do with age, skin color, or hairstyle. Fashion ignores the height of your heels and, just for the record, beehive hairdos will NEVER go out of style. Red lipstick always has a place on your lips and a little dab perfume here and there will forever be intoxicating.
With that said, I've started my own fashion trend. It's call "Confidence." Wear whatever you want and wear it as long as you want. Accessorize with some confidence, a smile, and a killer walk and you're a timeless, fashionista. Seriously, no one can argue with that kind of style. Fashion isn't an age thing, girls. It's all attitude.
Oh, and just in case you weren't paying attention to trends, you know those "mom jeans," those "high-waist" pants that "make you look old?" Last time I checked – like a week ago – they were a talked-about fashion trend of 2016. I bought a pair – a black pair – at the place my 24-year old daughter loves to shop.
I can't wait to wear them.
