Don't you want real news?

Hey guys!

Something that has always bothered me is why doesn't the news actually tell us what we really need to know? All these news stations say the same exact thing, trying to move our attention or blind us to the reality of current news.

Like what really happens behind closed doors when the cameras are off?

How this came up to me is because I graduated high school with out knowing a lick about REAL life. I mean loans, stocks, bills, investment plans, health and life insurance,  retirement plans, The real things we actually need to know about in life! You know? 

Thank God my first job was at a financial advisor's office!

Why in the world won't schools teach us the things we need to know. Each teacher will tell you the same B.S. example math teacher : "your going to need to know this when you get in the real world" shut up!!! Half the things I learned in school have not popped up in my life. Hey don't get me wrong I love math, it was my favorite and best class since k-1, but seriously unless I am an accountant I don't need most of that s*€%$ ! 

The real problem is the system not feeding us the right and real information. It's all about controlling the people blahblahblah. It's not fair to us, if we make most of the population on earth why lie to us through media? Well my first answer to my own question would simply be business. Everything is a business. Even marriage.  If we all have to pay for a marriage license, and most of us get divorced ( which is way more $ than the stupid license) , the state will  clearly make more money off of everyone getting divorced.  (Hey these are my opinions and theories lol! ) 

But if you guys disagree or have your own opinions please do share in a comment below!

This all came about bc I always see people on the subway with newspapers of scattered news.

Pageantry & Crazy Fashion Week!

Original Post date: Sunday February 17, 2013

Hey guys!

So this past weekend I had a great first experience at Couture Fashion week! Yes, a real fashion show in New York City.  Might not be mind blowing to you, but to me it had me on cloud nine.  May I first say, that never in my life have I attended a big Fashion show in my home town nor in any other state. So this was a big deal for two reasons: 1) One of my close friends was modeling in it & 2) IT WAS HOSTED IN NEW YORK! 

Maybe some of you guys don't know, but I have been a pageant gal since I was 14 years old.  Last year I had the opportunity to compete in the Ethnic World Internationals with the title of Miss Dominican Republic 2012.  I did not win but I was a finalist and met wonderful people that have inspired me in so many ways.  As a pageant queen, one must attend events to do appearances, promoting their title/ platform, and volunteering. So since I have been so busy with school I knew this was a perfect time to do an appearance! And thank God I did :)

I got two free seats to attend and went in with a friend.  We got their early and got to have some backstage action! I got to meet wonderful make up artists, assistants, and the PRESS. Since I was presented as a pageant queen, many people came up to me and asked to take pictures with me/ of me and handed me their business cards.  

My seating was on the second row, but two nice ladies invited me to sit up front! Then the couple next to me decided to leave early and gave me the seats for my friend to join me.In other words the view was amazing. 

Enough blabbing about what happened, lets get to the fashion side.  Couture Fashion Week was presenting Fall 2013 trends (I know we are barely in Spring!). There was tons of designers like Lourdes Atencio, Kristen Costa, and Ariel Cedno, but the trend that I fell in love with would definitely have to be the creamy lace and and the different shades of brown.  The way it was put together was very beautiful.  These were mostly all dresses, more or so evening gowns or special occasion dresses. Below is a few pictures that I snapped in motion.

What are your thoughts on these pieces?  Are they Fall enough for the runway or they should be darker?  I am really interested in your opinions please do comment! Even though I am new to this runway world would love to hear ideas!  



Peace&love,

Alba
