Honor Among Thieves

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves

Honor, is that intangible and very valuable perception we have for ourselves that keeps our heads unbowed.  Simply put, it is pride and selfrespect rolled into one.  In the course of our life time, people around us will, once in a while, recognize our achievements as honors.  However, it is knowing that you deserve the recognition that makes it truly an honor.  Because honor, though how very little you may have of it for yourself, can never be taken away from you.  

What do you call a person who gets something not rightfully his? A thief, and he hoards on honor.  He intoxicates himself with the instant gratification he derives from fooling himself to believe that what he have are truly his.  His coveteousness is insatiable that is why in order to continuously feed that want, they operate in numbers, in an intricate conspiracy of deception.  It is a system that works so well until one of them will want some more.

And just like that, the honors a thief treasure most are snatched from his hands, leaving him empty instantaneously.  He finds himself exposed and eventually will either rob his robber back or slump to self distruct.  

We all have price tags.  It may or may not be capable of pecuniary estimation.  The fact is, we can be bought.  When we do decide to trade, stop and think if the price we set for ourselves is the price we truly deserve.  I believe that there is no honor in discounting ourselves, and that we become thieves when we bite off more than we ought to chew.

Day 07 - A Picture of Someone/Something That Has The Biggest Impact on You

 The Illusive Adonis

I am a full fledged member of the female species and I wouldn't want it otherwise.  I dont want to waste your time by letting you read hypocrisy if I write about how my parents or mentors or movie stars have had an impact on me.  Those stuff are given and I dont need to be cheezy about it.  Let's all agree that the pull to procreate aka finding a mate is so wired within all of us that whether we are aware or not our actions reflect that need.

Adonis is supposed to be the epitome of the kind of man women swoon over.  He represents a standard for what it is to be male.  A personification of something abstract that even after the past millennia no one could really concretely define.  What the fuck do women want?! It's an age old question people will try to answer but will never really hit bull's eye.

Who for me is Adonis?  Just like the Greek myth, Adonis is every guy out there who for a short moment lives up to your expectations and then just when the season changes he withers and dies to every girl's dismay.  His sweetness has an expiration date!  

For the record, I am not heart broken.  A tad bitter maybe, but I am not being spiteful!  I am this way when a realization dawns upon me.  So girls, cherish your man's Adonis stage coz that is rare and seasonal.  Lucky you if you can sustain that for a looong time.  That  is hard work I tell you! Fucking Goodluck!  

The Hots for Scrubs


Nope not the TLC song! I meant scrubs, those worn in hospitals by medical people and apparently these days by posers too!  There is something about this hospital uniform that tickles my fancy.  Not that its a fetish of mine, but it sure can catch my eye.  Maybe its because when your in a hospital for an illness or something and your defenses are low that your hot guy/chick filtering system isn't working that well.  Boom! You get attracted to anything that stimulates your eyes; pointing my finger on the clean cut nurse wearing a bright blue scrub suit.



Scrub sets and other medical uniforms are becoming fashionable recently.  You dont need to be in med school to join in.  There are lots of colors and styles to choose from, you can even have it custom made.  To add spunk, a colorful and fun scrub hat should do the trick.  Yep! Exactly like what you see on TV.



Call me a loser but I am not a fan of Gray's Anatomy or Scrubs and all those medical drama on TV.  When there's already too much drama in your personal life and then you work in one of the top depressing places, that's just not appealing to me.  Nurse Jackie is quite different though!  Its entertaining! Im an endorphin junkie like that! ^^

Day 05 - A Picture of Somewhere You've Been To

There's something about Bohol that is almost magical.  I had been there only twice and I have to say the island captured a part of my soul.  It's scenic beauty really healed me deep down and I was never the same again when I got back to Cebu City.  I will never tire of this enthralling place!
