Manic Monday
#31: Mondays Should be Banned
Woke up earlier than usual this morning. It's part of this thing I go through every week wherein I tell myself each Sunday that I should really shape up and start arriving at work at more decent times starting "tomorrow."
So I really set out to go to work early today. Thing is, I woke up so disoriented, I couldn't form any Monday fashion concept whatsoever. My closet couldn't give me any spark of inspiration. It just stood there with a blank face waiting for me to make a decision. "Wear something... anything! Just get it over with and leave!" Nah. No one should greet Mondays looking like her secretary personally dragged her out of bed.
I tossed another pair of pants on my bed. Nothing is working. All my clothes are aligning with my brain: NOT WORKING. I sighed heavily as I reached out for my black "safe" pants. Uninspired, yes, but that's the only way I was going to get out of this house before 12 noon. White button-down long sleeves. Blah. Why do Mondays kill creativity?
As a last attempt to make myself look a bit more like "Gucci Stardust" today than "Mr. Peter Li Chinese Delivery (which, by the way, already moved from BF to Sucat Main Road), I went over to my dad's closet and grabbed a tie. Ah yes. When in doubt, wear a tie.
Some women look at men and ask, "How silly is it to start your day by tying a noose around your neck?" I say, sometimes, it's the only way to get through Monday.

Tie Me Down
call me too western-oriented & old-fashioned, but ties = professionalism. that's why i always make the effort of wearing a tie, even in the office where it's not necessarily a requirement. heck, i've wanted to wear a tie ever since i was 7 years old, i was that much of a dork :-B
of course, it's not only wearing a tie, but also how one wears the tie (or the shirt in general). a guy would look sloppy & won't belong if the shirt's too untucked and the tie's too long or too short. it has to be just right. the proper wearing of the shirt & tie can mean the difference between a security guard being mean to you or being all polite.
what's the point of all these ramblings? a tie serves as the halfway point between a plain long-sleeved shirt and a suit/snazzy barong. it's not as high up the ladder, but you're getting there.
(sorry had to turn this into a blog of my own... he3x!)

Haha! Complete with a title too! Give in, Lee. Set up your own blog.
Well, my 6-yr old cousin wore a nice black suit with a bowtie for his voice recital when he was 4 and he thought he looked mighty spiffy. "Mom, I think I look like the President of the United States." Oh dear, I hope he doesn't grow up to be a dork... like... someone I know. [grin]
