A Bit of METAL

I've been contemplating about the coming holiday season and I keep on saying that Christmas is for kids and so on. It's on a very bitter note, really. The OLD (which I am a part of) do not get much presents or hardly any at all. If Santa does exist though, I wish he'd give me a lovely Mercedes-Benz S500 or an E300 would rather do me well. Whilst, I've been a bit of a romantic trying to restore my beloved banger which is a Mercedes-Benz 260E from the 80s, I have basically gone out of funds for other things like a new pair of shoes but I seem to not mind. It was an expensive undertaking while it lasted and there are a few minor fixes needed but at the end of the day, I realised I really love her and would always want her too keep on running sweetly. For some reason after seeing The Reader, I was compelled to have the W124 E-Class after seeing Ralph Fiennes with one in that film. When I fancy a certain voiture, it always has to do with some film I've seen or seeing someone I adore with one. Other than such motivations I've mentioned, I realised that I wanted a German car because something like 80% or 90% of the bourgeoisie here drive a Japanese car. It's either its less symptomatic of the bourgeoisie or it's not bourgeois in Philippine conditions. It's also because my deeply detested relatives from the side of my mother drive either a Japanese car and an American car and I always want to disassociate myself from them. So, here's a bit of family drama, huh? I think I'm one of the most hated individuals in my family and if I wasn't hated I think this blog wouldn't be so interesting. So, I thank them in a certain light. D'ailleurs, my perspectives in life are rather often times silly and impractical hence I can call myself a romantic from time to time. Meanwhile, while I'm basically bankrupt, I just think of the perfect thing for Decembre- a pair of baskets from Pierre Hardy with a patch of metallic colour. One can dream on a regular basis, non? This time I feel like entering the photographic landscapes of Lee Miller and Araki. I need a break from this material world or how long could I endure being away from it?
