So I’m officially an addict. Not to drugs or booze. I’ll give you a clue, four letters: XOXO. I know you know it. I know you love it. TOO.
I love watching Gossip Girl because of it’s a.) storyline b.) the beautiful cast c.) THE FASHION. Since I began watching this show, I started buying items similar to those featured on the show and now my wardrobe has expanded with loads of bohemian and polished dresses, stockings, high-socks, bows, bold ballet flats, neckties and plaids. Everytime I buy something, I ask myself, is this very Blair or very Serena? Anything between the two, and if it is, I bring out the cash. Do not get annoyed at me for being TOO addicted and TOO OA about this whole GG thing. I’m not the only one. So spare me cos it’s the only thing that makes my life exciting as of now. I have the most boring life so dont bother asking what do I do besides shopping and watching GG. If I have to describe my life right now, imagine a cube of cheese in a small platter.
“Gossip Girl-ing” (i.e. dreaming, wearing, wannabe-ing like the UES peeps) is one of the things that i’m actually looking forward to just about everyday: the night before I’d put together an outfit which is very S or very B. In the morning I look forward to wearing it and pretending I live in Manhattan while walking the streets of Ortigas. After office hours I scour the mall to find Blair-ish or Serena-ic items. And it’s a routine that I would never be sick of. Oh Golly how I wish I live in New York.
So to commemorate my addiction, (two weeks ago) I invited my bestfriends, the Watermelon, over our house for a girls day out (which eventually turned into a NIGHT OUT since Mon and Nads arrived really late). Among our activities is that I dressed them all up ala Gossip Girl. I raided my wardrobe and mixed and matched the clothes and voila–we all ended up looking so UES-Constance-worthy. For me, at least. Anyway, here is the outcome of our little photoshoot:
ME.

Lovin’ the lovely Leighton Meester
Mind you, I’m not a socialite, I don’t live the most glamorous life, we’re not that rich, and I ride jeepneys and railways, but dreaming of things like this is what makes some part of my life interesting and more fun! Anyway, when school starts my life would be less boring already. I may dream of being a Blair or a Serena but when I’m at school, when I’m with my bestfriends and when I’m living the life I’ve lived for the past 18 years, I’m still the unique, authentic Alyssa character. Truly original. Oh, and it’s my last year of studying so I gotta make the most out of it. I can’t believe it. I’m officially heading to adulthood. Countdown to June 16!
