There are two kinds of bags:
i) the kind that are like evening bags. Small, glamorous, attractive but could only fit so much. You wouldn't carry an evening bag to school work now, would you? You know you love this evening bag but there would come a time when you will eventually admit to yourself that it is slowly going out of fashion. I have yet to find an evening bag that would go with all of my evening outfits, and could fit a baton for safety.
ii) you're everyday bag. Fits all of the crap that you need everyday, with an extra secret pocket for illegal substances. Comfortable, practical but not as stylish as your evening bag. No bag is perfect.
There are also two kinds of men:
i) Your evening bag kind of man. Stylish, good-looking, someone that your friends would envy you for. But he could only be so much. Handsome sans the personality. Too busy making himself more handsome that he would only politely to appear interested in the compelling stuff that you are babbling about - global warming, Darfur, Sartre. In fact, he is so polite, he bats his eyelashes twice as fast when you're talking and would offer to buy you deadly volumes of absinthe-laced vodka, just to calm you down. This man is for show only, not for keeps. BUT, you would love to "show" him to everyone you know and everyone you don't know for plus social points. Downside is, in Jay-Z's words "(he) wouldn't bust a grape in a fruit fight," unless of course, he has ex-soldiers as his bodyguard.
ii) Your everyday man. Personality? Check. Chivalry? Check. Intelligence? Check. Looks? Appeal? Mabait siya. No matter how hard you try, your everyday man just won't complete your wardrobe, especially when you're wearing the perfect heels. He's nice, gripping (intellectually, that is), and an all-around gentleman. You just won't post pictures of the two of you in public albums. He's just a "friend" anyway, right?
We're still in search of the perfect bag and the perfect man.
