Bakla Follows Jansport on the Way to Individuality

Jasnport Graphic Remix
I am fascinated with bags. Whenever I get the chance, I buy bags that strike my interest. No. I’m not talking about the highly expensive luxury brands that cost more than my net worth. Whenever I buy bags, I make sure that they are good investments. My primary consideration is compartments. Next are price and style.
When I was in college, I was so envious of people who owned Jansport. It was trendy and functional, and yes, it was some sort of a status symbol. I used to be concerned about status that I made sure I had a Jansport backpack. But I didn’t get to own one and bring it to school since my very measly allowance couldn’t be stretched further.
So what I did was to buy a cheapo backpack and painted it myself. It may not be Jansport, but at least it was stylish and had enough compartments to accommodate all of these:

I’m a big fan of my personal art which is mostly painting abstract designs on my old stuff to make them look new.
