No, I did not undergo pregnancy.
Good evening friends/colleagues: I know I've been MIA recently. I've had quite a bit going on, and sadly the blog took a backseat. Life's been up and down and busy. But I have alot to thank God for so can't complain (even though I kinda did eh?).
But my fans never wavered and sincerely awaited a post so finally I decided....
Let's go through the typical.....
I. SKIP THIS SECTION IF YOU THINK THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND ONLY YOU, AND ARE ONLY HERE FOR THE GIF's
a. January: went to India for my cousin's wedding.
b. February-May: Wut
these months were kinda a blur
c. June: wedding
d. July-August: Sister wedding
e. September: San Diego Trip (0 PTO)
left after work friday and came back sunday. good times
relaxing get away, 3rd annual international boy's trip.
So basically a whole bunch of:
I've sang/done sound at many weddings so I've attended close to (if not more than) 100 and have noticed many little things that help in coordinating one, but Planning this stuff is no joke and there are alot of nuances to deal with. So whether it is yours, your loved ones', or you're just a simple attendee, just have fun.
II. WEDDING SEASON:
For some, wedding season is a time to kick back, relax, have a few drinks and dance the night away.
And I know you don't wanna hear it....
but it's also where people go to meet hunnies/gents.
"GG, Weddings are like a day or 2, how can you make it happen in such a short period of time?
Sometimes ya just know...
But for others I say......Look at her sari blouse, it's the window to her soul.....
So.... let me bring you to my first topic and new theory.
You can tell a LOT about a girl's personality from the choice of her sari blouse.
I came upon this theory by noticing bridesmaids blouses. Some brides choose to have all the bridesmaids do the same style of blouse, then other brides allow the bridesmaids to choose their own style which is when I started noticing personalities vs blouse choice.
DISCLAIMER: THE FOLLOWING THEORY/COMMENTS SHOULD NOT MAKE YOU SELF-CONSCIOUS WHATSOEVER, KEEP DOING YOU GIRL...
a. Sari Blouses-
I call this the "hanging by a thread"
This girl is daring, but her "conservativity" is hanging by a thread 😉 if ya know what I mean
I call this the "small window"
This girl wants to show some skin, but uncles and aunties/parents are around so she's holding it in, probably pretty liberal after you get to know her.
I call this the garter
This girl is probably one of the least conservative and probably the most crazy, why does she have puff sleeves? These are all red flags so approach these girls with caution.
I call this "the Plunging V"
This is for the girls with very little back fat, and without pointy shoulder blades. This girl is fashionable and is confident in her body which are both plus points. Downside: if you put on back fat, you cannot wear this anymore.
I call this the "I ran out of sari blouse ideas"
This girl is definitely trying too hard to be fashionable, which means she definitely is not fashionable. If you want to get with a poser, go for this girl.
This is the tank top
Some people can pull this off, but a majority cannot and should not. This girl is probably the most fit of the bunch, but is also lazy because she doesn't have to maneuver her arms through the sleeves because there are none. This goes too far from the culture in my opinion and should be avoided cuz this girl is probably not indian enough
I call this the "girrl why are you even wearing a blouse?"
Probably the second freakiest level of girl would wear this. She don't care about any auntie she wants the breeze and wants to have fun.
I call this the "are your shoulder blades supposed to poke me in the eyes?"
Why....why...These are just scary to see.
This is the "full conservative"
Contrary to popular belief, these girls are probably the craziest of the bunch and are just putting up a front.
This is the closed front/closed back
These are very fashionable these days, but you never know what she could be hiding with this blouse.
Just be sure to give all of them a chance so you don't end up with
b. Lapel Flowers
i. If you recall from one of my earlier posts: the laper flower also goes by the "2 out of 3" rule.
The 3 accessroies we are accounting for are : Tie, lapel flower, and pocket square. Pretty easy right?
ii. Your tie/pocket square/lapel flower should not be the same pattern.
for example: DON'T use the handkerchief that your tie comes with to be your pocket square:
NOOOOOOOOOO
Gals...Stay away from gents like the above, or who BREAK the 2/3 rule
Try to catch the color of your tie in your square in some way.
My favorite combination however is no tie with lapel flower and pocket square, especially in the HTOWN HEAT.
c. Shoes
i. what's with the new no socks fad?
The first time I saw this I was like...
Are they wearing....stirrup pants??
And I know you young lads are like...GG you're 28 now, you're too old to know what's cool, I've been there too..
BUT....I must admit this style has been growing on me.
My thoughts: go for pants that are long enough so in the future when/if this style fades you can still wear socks with them.
Yes
No.
Also, I hope you guys are wearing no-show socks under there. The possibility of chafing is not worth it broz.
ii. my new infatuation:
chukka boots.
These have multipurpose use (casual, semi-casual, semi-formal) which makes them a great value. They can vary in color to give you that casual look. I however do not have a pair, but will update you on my findings as soon as I get some. But definitely recommend getting a pair to my lads/gals trying to get their man more fashionable.
This can also negate the shorter pants situation if you got a pair that are justttt slightly too high.
d. Cuff Links
People will come up to me and be like, yo do you know alot about cuff links?
And im like...uhh
Honestly, cuff links are cool, but are rarely noticeable. If you got EVERYTHING else goin' on like this dude
Then consider entering the cuff link game.
What is the only rule for cuff links?
your shirt must be long enough to go past your suit sleeves, but your suit sleeve length should not be too long either. Pretty simple right?
IV. Rockets/Texans/Astros
We were doing okay with flashes of hope, until the injury. Hopefully he gets better soon.
Doing well so far, and CP3 hasn't even started playing, hopefully it continues. Harden on a tear.
World Series Champs....nothing else to say.
End Note: If you need prayers, holla. I been slackin' and gotcho back.
It's November so I have to touch on it:
a. do NOT grow a goatee
b. no shave November is NOT an excuse to keep this
go for
c. RIP to my Wahl trimmer, I bought a new trimmer (different model) but it was too heavy, so waiting on another one. This trimmer made GG who he is today and will be missed.
What to expect next?
I'm getting a new beard trimmer, also will be going further into hair styling, etc.
Stay tuned.....until we meet again.
