“Pink girl.”
That’s what they used to call me because I loved all things pink.
I loved pink so much that I would buy all my stuff in pink: clothes, shoes, bags, notebooks, pens, pouches and anything else you can think of.
I used to love dressing in pink too. My travel get-up would look something like this: baby pink cap, fuschia pink Juicy sweats, hot pink platform Havianas and light pink Delsey bag. (Oh, and my underwear is all pink too.) I guess I tend to go overboard sometimes because someone actually commented I looked like a human candy.
But I really don’t mind because wearing pink makes me feel good. There’s something about that color that lifts up my mood.
I don’t know if it’s because of age or my color choices have evolved, but lately I’ve been using and wearing less pink stuff.
If you look inside my cabinet, you’ll now see mostly blacks, whites and browns. Even my shoe rack is filled with these basic colors. My sudden color shift was so noticeable that someone even asked me, “Don’t you like pink anymore?”
Actually, my pink clothes are buried at the back of my closet because all of them no longer fit. I guess I gravitated toward more blacks and whites because I was trying to look slimmer.
But I have to admit wearing black, white or brown clothes don’t affect my mood as much as my pink clothes do.
I’m thinking I should go back to wearing more pink especially now that I’m more prone to the blues. (The emotional pregnancy hormones are attacking again.)
So what if I look like a human candy, pink makes me happy.
What is your happy color?

Hi Jayme,
The world is indeed a small place. I was surfing the net for mineral make-up and saw your interesting blog entry and your profile. The I realized I actually knew your hubby way back in college. He probably no longer remembers me since that was a long, long time ago.
Anyway, I also used to love anything “pink”. However, as I’ve come to realize, I go through certain “color phases” in my life. I used to have a “pink” phase, “brown” phase, “green” phase, and more recently a “red” phase. I can’t explain why, but somehow I just woke up one morning and decided I want a new color scheme for my day.
Nice to meet you here and congrats on your upcoming bundle of joy
Sarah
i guess growing old does that to you… but i’d hate for it to change if it makes you happy. and yeah, especially now that hormones are conveniently ruining moods sometimes
mine is orange and green 
Sarah: Thanks for dropping by!
I hope you found my MMU blog entry useful. Did you know Kernan in UPLB or Diliman? I’m sure he will still remember you. I know what you mean about the color phases. Although it seems, I always go back to pink. Anyway, it was so nice of you to leave a comment. Do you have a blog too? Visit again soon. 
Ris: Kernan loves green.
That’s why it’s the theme of our wedding and the color scheme of this blog. It’s a good thing, pink and green mesh well together. Actually, I’m beginning to surround myself with pink stuff again. The moods are getting worse as much as my back aches but I’m taking them in stride. Just one more month. 
i think I’m more of a ‘blue’ person and just like you, I tend to buy most of my stuff in blue!
I love to surround myself with things that can calm me and anything blue is the answer… kaya lng I then had to resort for black kasi tumataba na!
