Just a glimpse.

The usual rounds. Feeling after feeling. Thought after thought. Circling around the idea of freedom and promises of the future. Being black and white does not apply to all, at this time.

Often in the city, comfort is defined as dinner and/or drinks with the clique. But a city-dwelling suburban prep seeks comfort in introversion. May it be with a hot cup of vendo coffee at the airport waiting for a flight, or watching "hellos" and "goodbyes" at the boarding gates: he enjoys that mixed feeling of melancholy, nostalgia, and uncertainty. For there are more than a hundred layers underneath his layered ensemble.. as there are more shades of hue on his shirt. Always a predictable mystery that's often mistakenly "easily understood".

Charles' expectations were met. This was what he thought he'd feel. The cold biting his cheeks was nothing but sweet pleasure. Everybody's favorite season's around the corner. Children. Lovers.

Hump Day Throbbing temples and feet. Rapidly beating heart. It took quite a while to be on top of this hill. It's a very brief moment of mixed emotions. Awe. Acceptance. Complacence. But as what they always say, it's faster to go downhill. And yes, we're almost there. The end.   Fashion: Boglioli Dover under-constructed double-breasted wool-blend blazer, Gucci slim-fit printed cotton shirt, Slowear Incotex slim-fit plaid wool trousers, Church's Sovereign embroidered crown slippers, Balenciaga creased-leather pouch, Miansai leather and metal hook wrap bracelet, Turnbull & Asser polka-dot silk pocket square

The Coffee and Tea Shop Culture Do you have any idea on how long people stay at a cafe? Some enjoy solitude, some are in deep conversations with friends, and some are just there to exist. All of these percolate to an ambient buzz: a different kind of city noise. That kind that  has always been of great interest to both hipsters and preps. Common ground.  Fashion: Bill Amberg hunter leather backpack, Junya Watanabe for Brooks Brothers plaid wool blazer, Lanvin long-sleeved cotton pique polo shirt, YMC cinch-back cotton blend shorts, Dolce & Gabbana printed silk pocket square, Luis Morais woven-leather and yellow gold wrap around bracelet, Uniform Wares 250 Series steel wristwatch, Alexander McQueen oiled-suede oxford brogues

Killing Time  

PR 0731 departing Suvarnabhumi at 2:00 PM +8 GMT. 

Charles' consciousness is drifting. His cold palms are rubbing onto each other in hopes of getting warm. He is thinking of how it will be for them. He is worried that he might again be rejected by another street hipster. Now he's looking on his slippers to find some reassurance. He's running onto this, getting away from that. He is never looking back.

English weather I woke up this morning greeted by bed weather. I can help but to remember how crazy it is recently. Just like in the Brit isles, rain and shine do occur in a day.
