Sparkle and Reality
So yesterday I went for an interview with a modeling Agency downtown. Continue reading
Tomorrow Is a Special Day
May the odds be ever in my favour!
The modeling (or modelling- however you prefer it) world has called me and I am looking forward to my very first modeling appointment. Now…As far as I know the agency that has called has gotten my application and wants to meet me. I’m guessing this is the modeling version of an interview, just without a resume… or a portfolio in my case. I have prepared some answers to questions but I am also prepared for a rejection (as I really am not expecting to be signed on my very first agency visit) and in the rare case I’m even prepared to face a possible scam.
They know I have minimum experience, and that I am a student meaning I’d work part time… Either way I’m very excited to go through with this adventure and I will of course be sure to update tomorrow to let you in the know of whether it’s really a scam or not! I have done my research and have found many complaints (one with an actual reply from the president of the agency- ouch!) but, the reply simply did not deny that they have a certain technique of “offering” anyone AND everyone a chance to enroll in their $900 classes… We shall see!
Even if I do get rejected in a way of “you’d benefit greatly from our courses” I will not stop in search for another opportunity. Let’s face it. One doesn’t give up so easily! 😉
Tip of the day:
Take constructive criticism well– A rejection doesn’t mean the end of the world. What did you think second chances are for? 😉
Take care my lovelies.

The One – And Keeping Them!
The one… More like the one we search for forever and never find! (cough cough due to the media and society’s expectations!)
One must understand that searching for “the one” is not the right way to go. When you are searching for the one you easily have expectations for them… Such as, they have to be handsome, or they MUST love EVERYTHING I love. I will tell you in advance that is exactly how you fall OUT of love. In order to find someone, there has to be a connection, without question. The catch; it won’t only be one relationship with the strong connection… So, there really is no perfect “one”.
It is much like approaching different situations with an open mind. You see what you are most into or can have close ties with, and find a connection. WARNING: The connection doesn’t always spark off at first. It takes a bit of work, such as maybe texting and talking but as soon as feelings and passion are reciprocated, (RECIPROCATED, YOU HEAR? If the other person is unsure it’s not worth your time to wait. period.), you are more than welcome to introduce passion… This is the fuel to the fire. If passion runs out so will the want to try other (more passionate) people… So, keep the fire going! It’s like they say, if you’re bored it means you’re simply a boring person.
To ensure the passion keeps on keeping on, it is important if not essential to maintain your confidence and all of the good virtues in tact. For example, say you have trust issues. You can doubt them all you want, but communication is important and so you must tell the partner what’s wrong. This will give them a hint to fight for you. With that in order the last part is a bit of fun… You can never go wrong with trying something new together and always keeping busy, especially avoiding a routine.
If I could be a little more obvious I would also add:
-you must invest time and QUALITY time into a relationship.
-ensure you’re actually going somewhere in the relationship, don’t sit on the same pedestal forever (AHEM- if they still aren’t sure they want you then it shouldn’t even be a question!)
Lastly, I’d like to note out there to the dating newbies:
When you are first starting out in the dating world it may take time for one to handle a real relationship. There will be several short relationships. Those will not be useless… They each must have at least taught you something. All of these things add up until you come to a relationship where all your cards are at play- meaning you are ready for a real relationship.
I hope you all found this post interesting, as I have wanted to make a relationships advice post for a looong time.
XOXO, Stacette
A Must See – No Joke
This movie sort of just turned my world upside down. I’ve read up before on some of the terms included in this hypothesis and it really feels just connected and proven with what they have.
It makes way more sense than some of our primitive (if I may call them that) theories so far on this topic of human history.
We’ve all heard about Atlantis, the Bermuda triangle, the pyramids in Egypt, etc. But we never understood them as much as we want to. This just puts the puzzle peices together.
Questions
I’ve never really given thought into answering some of the most obscure (although random) questions that have crossed my mind.
I feel like it’s time to bring it up, and be the five year old with a million questions in mind.
How in the world did people start to cook their food?
If you think about it logically… The animal life is quite simple, animals will grow up learning from their kind, following their habits. And I don’t know about you, but I surely haven’t seen any animal be interested enough with their food as we are when mixing ingredients and preferring it to be hot or cold. I can’t seem to wrap my head around the thought of a neanderthal just randomly stumbling upon a miracle of what lead to how we prepare and choose to eat our food today. It just bothers me how different we really are compared to the animal world.
How do we have personalities from the moment they’re born?
A personality isn’t something we really grow into. Our preferences don’t come from experience, do they? Maybe some external influences come into choosing what we like and what we don’t like (cough cough the media). But, it can’t be just that. You get a personality from the moment you’re born, and you grow up with it. Except, how? It can’t possibly be from genetics, haha.
Although these questions make me wonder whether I really know the half of it (heck we could be “aliens” and not know it), I think I may have to accept they may never be answered.
Modelling
I’ve had this certain dream in the back of my mind for quite a long time. All I’ve been doing is pushing it back, because the real world has forced me to think I have to be a doctor with a high paying salary… The brains and the beef… If I want to live a good life.
I think it’d first started around 2 years ago, when I had done a favor for a family friend. She had designed and made my graduation dress, and we did a photoshoot of me in it for her blog. I never got the photos, of course it was only a dream of mine to really do modelling, and so I sort of left it all there… forgot about it.
I don’t even know what the spark was, when I started thinking about it again just a few days ago. A part of me is strongly passionate about following the part of me that says, give in; let yourself have it, all you have to do is try. Now on the other side, I can’t help but be scared of getting there and being rejected. No, I wouldn’t stop there. I’d just push a little harder.
I’m done with all the pep talk, I’m 100% on board with doing this.
I’ve found a pristine modelling agency nearby, which accepts people with little experience… In the heart of downtown. Sigh. I wish.
Enough wishing, I’m really thinking about doing this. If I don’t do it now, I won’t get another chance! And if I got in it’d be sublime. But first I must get ready…
This need to at least try is making me also ponder that maybe, feeling good about your career no matter the pay can really be the secret mindset towards a good life. Remember- money isn’t everything.
XOXO,

Why is PDA a bad thing?
Stupid question, I know. Just hear me out.
PDA is just affection. If we encourage love, why do we get grossed out or just show disgust towards it but then turn into hypocrites when we do it ourselves?
Teenage Years
Can I just begin with, popularity sucks.
Here is why.
a) you have to take into account other’s ideas about you and ideas of who you should date/be best friends with
b) you have to live up to these expectations
c) you have to explain to everyone why, why oh why you chose the other path
Anyone who decides to think differently about it and turn their cheek on the subject is wrong.
But being a teenager isn’t about staying noble and loyal like some puppy to your parents and everyone around you (if you do then you’ll never survive without your mom, cough cough Victoria on America’s Next Top Model.)
Being a teenager is about starting to take control over your life, making your own decisions, and ultimately breaking some rules and promises if you have to do it to be truly happy or satisfied with your life.
Sometimes it may be right to take a minute to think about consequences, but that is just for a moment, don’t over think things.
By today’s turn of events, I’m going to stick with what my heart says. I’ve been living with the thought that following your mind is what you should do, but I was wrong, it messes you up, almost turns you into a heartless being really. When you are faced to make a decision that could really scar you, you obviously will turn to your mind and start thinking, but it gets out of hand sometimes.
I was faced with either staying with someone with whom I’d have the benefits of a tough football guy who everyone approved of, or going with summer boy which no one approved of. Of course, I had feelings for summer boy. I never really had feelings for the football guy, nor was I physically attractive, so it was either be happy and cross my fingers that people won’t judge my choice (people like football dude’s friends which I’d later have to explain to) or pretend to be happy with someone I never will be with. Feelings take time, sure, but there were also little things in between.
For once I chose my heart over anything else, I really forgot when I was over thinking things. and let me just tell you, it feels so much better.
As cliché as it may sound, follow your heart, make your own decisions, and stick with it. Just do it.
xoxo,
Stacette.
