A Humble Louis

How to feel good and come out good too.

Series 1

When you’re faced with too many good options and you humbly thought of asking your 1,000 friends to help you decide -should I get a Louis Vuitton, Gucci or a Chanel? What about when you’ve decided to go on a vacation? Actually you have decided the place you’re gonna be visiting, but you somehow you find it necessary to let out how the narrowing-down happened, so you put it up in your status: Korea, Japan or Hong Kong? Well I’m not entirely sure what answers you really expect. Then you'd get these comments (which what you really wanted) from friends and other commentators.

Series 2

Then there’s the kind-hearted pal. She loves trends and shopping. So in time she was able to build up a considerably numerous acquisition of clothes good enough feed a family of three for 5 years. And since you’re not getting enough space for the new ones coming in, what better way to dispose of some than donating it? Anyways who would want to wear a worn-out Havaianas or outdated blouses that’s too embarrassing to be worn because you might look like you have time-traveled from the 2001. Not only you were able to get rid of your unwanted merchandise but you get to come out a kind-hearted kid for it! Of course, to achieve this, you have to have at least enough photos for an album in Facebook to prove it. Win-win situation!

Series 3

All your life, you loved fashion. In all your posts, either it has something to do with the greatness of what you have acquired and purchased or some shots with remarkable people of the country (really, they’re only celebrities). Everything has to be glossy, rich and expensive. You used to have this 5-course dinner with friends at a lovely restaurant for your 16^th birthday which of course you asked your parents to pay for. Then your 20s-something birthday came, suddenly you wanted to throw this celebration with the unfortunate ones. Unknowingly labels them in derogatory terms but come on, you were already doing a charity right? That should buy off all the wrong terms. The idea probably has come from someone remarkable too –who did the same thing and thought it must be a good publi…erm idea. Another win-win situation here! Of course, invite the same friends to come and do this irresistible thing for the less-privileged –that’s more people who are most likely to say some nice comments about how charitable you were on your birthday. I’m sure you’re not forgetting the camera and some little speech there.

P.S. Don’t get me wrong, I love everything rich and glamorous. It’s the 'WHY' why I’m bothered with. And again, I’m penning my irked humble alter-ego. Forgive me if I hit you.
