Rebel Without A Cause | Outfit Post # 20 (OMG!) | Welcome To My BLOG!

This look is inspired by the movie “Rebel Without A Cause (1955)” starring the ever so awesome James Dean. In the movie, he wore this baggy red jacket over a white t-shirt and threw in a straight cut blue jeans for that rebellious stud image. Eventually, it became one of his signature looks aside from (of course!) his coveted hairstyle and holding a cigarette stick the coolest way ever! With my version, I tried to keep everything simple yet more modern. Instead of a red jacket, I wore an ombre button down over a printed white tee. I rolled up my denims up to knee level and added some accessories for a bit of “umph”. Putting all the pieces together was pretty easy and I like how it turned out.

How I wish James Dean never had died. He’s such an icon!

Let’s break it down: button-down (Folded and Hung), printed white tee (thrift store), jeans (Folded and Hung), accessories (the spiked ring is given by my friend Tony, Tomato, SM Accessories)

Moving on, I am so grateful I reached as far as my 20th outfit post. After almost 4 months of virtual saturation, I am now launching Tearaway Defunct! Yeey! This blog contains my passions: fashion, music, visual arts and life. Tearaway Defunct is about random thoughts, Disney songs, cure hangover tips and so much more! Just like me, this blog is a crossover between a drag queen and a gentleman. bwahaha

Let me just say when I started this blog, I didn’t know a single thing about Tumblr and customizing theme layouts. I had to relearn everything by watching Youtube tutorial videos. It was hella crazy, starting from scratch every time I mess up my HTML codes! HAH!

OKAY. LET ME DO THIS ALL OVER AGAIN! ☺

For inspiring me always, thanks to David Guison of DG MNL, Gizelle Faye Sembrano of Vanilla Ice Cream, Eden Villarba of Chic in the Tropics, Lyziel Gomez of  The Red Diary, Alexis of Litrato ni Juan, Frankie of Ohsomefrankie, and Gillian Uang of Bydetails. To my friends who encouraged me from the beginning and helped me make this blog possible, thank you! To Karen of World of a Wallflower, Chen of Moi Mestiza, Beth being the most eager reader (hehe) and Lemuel for helping me with the layout of my blog. And to all my Lookbook.nu friends, thanks you2x so much!

Rock on! See you all on the flip side!

No Holds Barred (Posterized) | Outfit Post # 19

Let’s break it down: v-neck tee (Bench), chinos (Bench), shoes (Converse)

Nothing really serious or extreme. In fact, I am just being my usual self. Crazy, wild, out of the box and made out of scraps. Still I wish I could go further than this. It’s a lot different when you’re working and earning your own money. You have control of everything (well maybe not but it sure feels like it!) and you can go crazy and wild anytime you want. Hmm. I’m at home and I simply depend on allowances which is boring and depressing too! haha

So yea, for today’s outfit I am wearing my silly v-neck shirt from Bench. I did my best tearing new holes on it. I don’t know if it’s cool but I have this habit of exaggerating things to make them look less obvious. Umm… Did I make sense? lol Anyways, it’s my favorite shirt and believe it or not I wore it once in public… inside the church! yea boi. Am i cool now? Pathetic!

This look best illustrates my situation right now. And that’s being broke. But i gotta admit i love how it turned out. White tee and black fitted jeans are such an amazing duo. The poses though are a bit shocking (yes i know that) but it’s just another side of me which people don’t see often. No holds barred from now on! Gotta stick to this.

Last night, I went to the movies with my brother and sisters. We watched “The Expendables 2”. I never really thought that I would enjoy an action movie as much as i enjoyed watching “The Expendables 2”. MAN it was amazing! WOOOW! The effects and all. It was just great. You guys should check it out too. I am more inclined to watching Gossip Girl series at home YES but I had fun watching the movie and E2 is just something you shouldn’t miss in theaters. It’s sooo BADASS!

Before I forget, I need to go to sleep now. Argh! So many times I’ve promised to myself not to use the PC for a week but I keep on failing and it’s not doing me any good. Okay, let me make this official on here. I won’t be using the PC PC PC PC for a while. I need to take good care of myself. haha. OKAY weird stuff coming out of my mouth. I’m so disorganized! Mygeds!

Bye! See you in a week! :D

Mr. Big F. Whiner | My Style Tips For Guys | Outfit Post # 18

Let’s break it down: button-down (Folded and Hung), jeans (Folded and Hung), shoes (Converse), backpack (Oxygen), accessories (Tomato and SM Accessories)

Allow me to say that I am a grown-up and I choose to be a rebel. Gone are the days when I care so much about the outcome of my actions. I am usually nice but over the time, I’ve realized that being a goody two-shoes has its downside. Believe me, I’ve been planning to track down how many “i-dont-care’s” I’ve written on my previous posts. And yes, I know I’m a whiner. A big fat one!

I am just so upset with so many things. Sure dreams can seem like nightmares when you’re not prepared at all the moment they become reality.

Arrgh! I hate waiting. I can’t wait to get it all over with so I can start anew. I went to church this morning to attend the mass. I sooo need it. I’m not religious but I do pray a lot. When I pray, everything seems to be okay. :D

Anyways, since I couldn’t write anything relatable on here… let me talk about fashion! Yes! 100% all-natural stress buster. I know this is supposed to be a style blog and FYI it still is. I am just going through a lot of crisis that’s why I can’t help but talk about dear LIFE lately. OKAAAY!

Below are few style tips I’ve learned to stick to while building this blog. They come handy in any situation. I hope they help. (long paragraphs are boring so I’ll write everything in bullets ;D)

• Don’t be afraid to wear colors. Color is your friend buddy! If you’re a guy and all you could find in your closet are shades of gray and brown, better hit the shopping mall asap. You’re missing out on all the fun!
• Enough of those baggy jeans! It may feel weird at first but trust me, skinny jeans enhance your overall look.
• Accessorize! Weather it’s a plain black cross hanging on your neck or a studded bracelet wrapped around your wrist, accessorizing adds a whole new edge to your appearance.
• Don’t mix patterns of the same size and visibility. haha
• Make sure your shirt fits well. Nothing too loose or too tight. 
• Button your shirt up to the collar for that preppy look. Everybody’s workin’ it!
• For that stylishly laid-back look, pair walk shorts with either boat shoes or top-siders.
• Look your best each time you go out of the house!

That’s it for now. Fashion does not have rules let me just remind everybody. Fashion is about self-expression and if some people don’t like the way you look, leave them at that. Looking good takes serious dedication and open-mindedness. You know what they say, trends come and go but personal style is timeless. :D

Looking For Heaven, Found The Devil In Me | Outfit Post # 17

Let’s break it down: flannel shirt (Forever 21 Men), walk shorts (thrifted), shoes (Propét), messenger bag (Forever 21 Men), accessories (Tomato and SM Accessories)

I’ve said it before - I hate anything complicated. I still don’t get why I keep on finding myself in some kind of cobweb that I know would eventually trap me to death. Whew! I feel so stupid but at the same time I am glad because everything I’ve believed to be true, is all a big lie and I found out just in time. In cases like this, I would usually blame myself for screwing things up. It’s a no-brainer for I was always the bad guy. But you know when you’re drawing on sketchpad you have so many ideas and you’re full of spirit during the first few strokes but then after an hour, you get tired and you don’t care if you finish the drawing or not. It’s like f*** it! I don’t care and I’m tired you piece of… umm… paper!

My point is, I grew tired of blaming myself or anybody else. Gotta accept that people make mistakes bla bla bla. Anyways, I like it better this way. I have “me” all to myself. The fourth picture best describes what I am feeling right now. Tired but happy. I’m free. :D

To all the ladies and gents out there, here’s a song to motivate you. If you’re done with your graceless heart, cut it out and then restart.
