the week that was

this week and last have been particularly (and overwhelmingly) BAD, with capitals B,A,D.

i don't want to delve on them so much on this realm but suffice to say, i am not yet in the mood to write.

writing as a means of venting my frustrations is getting old. i rather enjoy the numbness at the moment and let the emotions sweep over me later, when i guess i feel ready for them.

what i am trying to reiterate here is "be thankful." be thankful with what you have at the moment because you will never know when the joy or happiness or "nikmat" will be taken away from you.

i am not asking you to live like you're dying tomorrow, by booking that around the world trip or buying things you could not afford, but cherish life and be kind to yourself, mankind and nature.

life is about what you give to it. the circle of life is verily true in this instance, whereby you reap what you've sown.

Alexander 'The Great' McQueen

If you have been following the fashion news, you would have known that the great fashion designer Alexander McQueen passed away last year.

you can read the sad news of his premature death here, and here.

i was never that 'aware' of his creations until recently and by joining Polyvore, i am always updated on the latest trends and news in the fashion world, whether i like it or not.

which in this case, i do LIKE a LOT. :)

some of his creations that i fall in love with are below :

Military Fern Jacquard Knit Dress

(Cant Find The Name) open toe stilletto

Floral Iris Skull Clutch Box

hmmm... when i think of it again, the 3 things, : the dress, the shoes and the clutch make a great outfit. 

go check for more of his outlandish and macabre designs which are breathtakingly beautiful at the same time, on his official site, here.

and by the way, the fact that a certain Ms. Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen was commissioned to create the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding gown at the Wedding of The Year, did help in raising its already garnered popularity a few notches of late.

okay, i am too lazy to write anything of consequence, but i think looking at these pictures do give us some sense of 'consequence'.

hopefully, you get what i am trying to mean here. :)
