Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken...

spent some hours to pass the time away
plucking strings to the tunes of Train
it's been a long time since i last touched Jane
as she sat by the desk collecting dust,
i reckon my skills have turned to rust.

To be clear, Jane is the name of my loyal and very dependable classical guitar.

-------------------------------------------------------

first my home, now even my extended families are all topsy-turvey.

damn everyone, I am not mad because everyone is acting all childish and irresponsible. I am upset because no one cares for my feelings. as if the things they do wouldn't affect me at all.

-------------------------------------------------------

I am not really fashionable. Since I was lazy in my dressing, I appropriately saw myself as being decently presentable with nothing too outlandish. But recently, I think i'm traipsing dangerously close to becoming a fashion disaster.

i am currently in the midst of searching for a backpack that would be suitable for work+play. backpack for work?! sounds quite disastrous! but... my poor shoulders are paying the price for my need to look pretty while i tot around carrying an oversized, overstuffed handbag. And G has been reluctant to carry my handbags for me! :( my bags aren't even flowery or tiny looking. He shouldn't be embarrassed since i carried a decent sturdy leather handbag, albeit a red one. Right?

The concession he makes was that I hooked my arm around the handbag whilst he carried it so it looks like I'm carrying it and he's hooking his hand around my bag. :/

I thought I needed a better solution, hence I decided to start looking for an appropriate backpack.

I think it's quite funny how I evolved from backpacks (remember Deuter?) in my secondary education, to a large tote bag during my tertiary days, then to oversized handbags in university, and now I am moving back to backpacks.

Anyway, I Googled, hit a forum and here are my options:
1.) Leather backpacks
2.) Black laptop backpacks
3.) Hybrid bag (because messenger bags are suitable for work but backpacks aren't)
4.) Funky backpacks (more appropriate for campus I think)

Interestingly, if I started carrying backpacks, G could start helping me carry them because they totally look like guy-bags and so he would never be embarrassed. Talk about killing two birds with one stone.
