Pamela teased as “Peculiar Pam” back in high school. She was always wearing black and violet clothes with pink tights. Peculiar Pam also carried with her a pink flat iron though she can’t use it at school. She also wears huge plastic flowers in her hair and multiple wide belts. She was a queer one as her classmates would refer to her.

Ten years later and Peculiar Pam has seriously evolved from a weird and ugly duckling to an elegant and beautiful swan. Pamela is now a fashion stylist and has styled numerous celebrities like Tennis Royalties Serena and Venus Williams, Courtney Cox-Arquette and Jennifer Love Hewitt to name a few.

Pamela’s taste had influenced a lot of people in the society, making her one of the most sought after fashion stylist today. Pamela has conquered many hurdles and challenges before getting where she is now. And it has all made her stronger. If she had succumbed to regularity back in high school, she wouldn’t know her true potential and her talent in style.

If she would meet any of her high school classmates, she would literally fight the urge to laugh in their faces. But instead, she would gladly give them a makeover.

Yesterday, I went to accompany my Dad to the hardware store and the mall. He needs to buy a few items and I volunteered to drive him. I am quite fascinated about how my Dad shops. He is meticulous yet practical. He is frugal yet brand conscious. There are a lot of things I could learn from my Dad and it is a good thing that I accompanied him to do errands.

At the hardware store, he looked at hammers, axes and knives. We even surveyed a few portable generators for sale. Dad was looking for a few light bulbs and door knobs. He wanted to replace those from our house but is not in a hurry since all of them are still in great working condition. He just wants to know how much are the ones that he likes so he can set a realistic budget.

My Dad likes to look at a lot of things especially those new products that just came out of the market. He doesn’t want to be left out of the technology or development of anything hardware. It was fun being with my dad for a day. I did learn a lot from him and I hope to be as sensible as he is.

Melanie was called the “Rich Girl” in high school. She was not pleased with this nickname even though she really belonged to a rich family back in Texas. Her family owns a huge ranch with cows and horses and all those animals.

A rich girl trying to step out of his family’s shadow, Melanie decided to go to college in a California. I was one of the lucky ones who get to know the real Melanie. She was really kind, intelligent and sporty. She is fond of adventure and was the mechanical bull riding champ for three years in a row. Melanie was a real go-getter. She never used her family’s background or money to get where she is now.

During one of those holidays, Melanie invited a few of us to their ranch in Texas. We were really excited and raring to go. As soon as we arrived, we were awed by their huge house. There were magnificent horses in corrals and huge bulls too.

Texas was warm, but that didn’t stop Melanie’s parents from installing several outdoor fire places. We had a really great time at Melanie’s home in Texas. Her family were really accommodating. Plus, we learned how to ride horses.
