Is Men’s Fashion More Popular Than Women’s?

Talking about fashion, what first comes to your mind when you hear FASHION? Okay, clothes, wardrobe, shoes, accessories, of whom? WOMEN. Yeah, me too! Not because I am woman, but because all I know is that women are VAINer than men. But interesting fact: MEN’s FASHION is searched MORE than anything about particular fashion. So, is Men’s Fashion More Popular Than Women’s?

What’s that mean? That means, there are more people out there that are interested in fashion, okay, I know it might not just be men searching, but she may be searching for a friend that she knows really care about he looks, his outfit. Or maybe a stylist researching for her client, who’s of course, male. It doesn’t matter if he’s straight or not. The argument is still: Is Men’s Fashion More Popular Than Women’s?

That’s a good thing anyway, because that means they are now concern of how they look, improving personality, and that’s one little step for improving the world… What’s my answer to the question, Is Men’s Fashion More Popular Than Women? YES. Doesn’t mean that women are now the underdog to this category. It’s just that women doesn’t just search Women’s Fashion. They look further more detailed. From head to toe, they uses millions of stuff just to be in fashion. Get it?

Letter to My Brother

LETTER TO MY BROTHER

As the year ends,
I am 1000 miles away from you;
I heard the news that made our tears shed,
Yet I said, tomorrow’s start of something new.

You might not know how important you are,
Hearing negative murmurs from people that sucks…
Have hurt you and made you forgot, here we are…
Waiting, willing to listen,catch you if you fall.

Light is at reach, look inside you,
You got the strength you never thought you have,
Despite the strong words they threw you,
Remember the people behind your back.

They’ll stand behind you no matter what,
Loves you unconditionally whatever happens,
And you should never forget that.
You are a good man, brother… You Are.

Don’t make their words affect you,
You’re worth more than they thought,
And you know it, you just got to believe it.

You got hurt because you gave importance to them,
More than you did to yourself,
But you were wrong, and you now know it…
Prove them wrong, let your stars shine this time…

Rise from the pains it caused you,
Don’t just falter and give up,
Carry yourself up, and live your life…
You got everything they don’t have.

Have you realize why they are doing this to you?
Because you have everything they always wanted to.
You got it all that they have to worked hard before getting it,
Yet after all, they can’t still have it.

They want to see you fall and make you miserable,
And if they succeed, they will feel better than you.
Don’t let them succeed, brother. Don’t let them do.
Fight. Get-up. Win the battle you didn’t wish to start.
Finish what they’ve started with victory and triumph.

Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi

Let me write something about Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi again, despite the unpleasant experience I had in Hanoi(burnt my leg from motorbikes, unbelievable traffic there!) I still found good things about the place.  Hanoi’s popular attraction is the Hoan Kiem Lake located in the heart of the town. According to Wikipedia: Hồ Hoàn Kiếm, meaning “Lake of the Returned Sword” or “Lake of the Restored Sword”, also known as Hồ Gươm - Sword Lake…that’s where the name came from.

The Tortoise Tower in the middle of the lake has its own myth.  Locals believe that there’s a number of giant tortoise living in the lake for years now, although its species endangered they said it appears once in a while and make themselves visible for a very little while. Hoan Kiem Lake in Hanoi is the popular not only for tourists but for locals chilling out from a day’s work or school.

Jade Island is located near the shore of the lake, it was built in honor of a Vietnamese 13th century military leader, Tran Hung Dao.  It is connected by the wooden bridge painted in red from the shore, it is open to public view by the way.

Contemplating on Life

Reminiscing, contemplating on life how terrible things happened to me in the past…I remember one sad night that I never wanna live, pleading God to take me, as I’ve pleaded hundred of times to stop terrible things that keeps hurting me to come.  It didn’t happen.  I asked so many questions, still unanswered.  I asked myself that night knowing everything will come to an end, “when everything is over, will I want to die still?”…it was unbearable that during those dark times, TIME doesn’t seem to move.

Time during those moments felt like you’re trapped in a quicksand, yet you found a way to get out, it feels like impossible to get out, it keeps pulling you down, draining your emotions, making you feel every single emotions you can feel.  I kept contemplating on life I have, I asked an elder friend who was stand like my second father, Ronnie Cantos… ‘Why it doesn’t stop? Why tragedy after another?‘, and he replied, ‘it’s coming to an end soon, because its pouring’…it made me cry, from that simple answer, it overwhelmed me…and a slight hope came out of me, wanting to be out of all those.

Now, I am here…looking back at that night when I asked myself if I still wanna die when I get out of that situation?  My answer now is, NO.  My life has been a real life roller coaster, a story from a movie that you thought is just a fiction but it happened to me. It happens in reality…and teach you to see a lot of things you’ve never seen. Contemplating on life I have at the moment, I know now the answers to my questions if not all.  It lies within us, we just have to learn accept it, and we will be free.
