"Feet, what do I need you for when I have wings to fly?" -Frida Kahlo 

Whew! What a feat! I think I deserve a pat on the back for teaching myself how to go about domain registration.    Im talking about almost 8 hours of figuring out how this alien thing works!  It also helps when you have IT friends (ehem! J-A-N-E) whom you can pester 24/7.  But for someone who had just encountered cryptic terms like DNS and CNAME eklavoos, I have all the reason and right to be ecstatic.  I dare anyone to burst my bubble! 

Bleh!

I registered my domain with 1and1 simply because I can afford it and I have a handful of friends who work for this company too.  They do need a verified Paypal account or a credit card as a payment method so thank God I'm friends with the most trusting and thoughtful girl I know!  Sweet I owe you heaps for the big big help!

So what happens next?  I have big plans for MY site of course!  Plans I commit myself to actualize.  Here's a tentative To-Do list:

1. Blog roll - I've been an avid follower of various blog and news sites that are just so fun yet informative to read.  I'd love to share with you what feeds my brain these days!  Im going to organize it well just you wait and see.  ^^
2. Book list - Some of you may know that I love shopping for thrift books more than I love digging into a pile of used clothes ( going ukay-ukay).  The list will include a reflection of what I read about.  Note: reflection and not a review because Im no literary critique.  
3. More beauty reviews - I will let you in on my recent hauls that fuel my "slight" narcissism.  Im keeping this real as in student budget real.
4. Fashion pitches - Expect wearable styles.  Not too shabby not high street fashion either.  Think: Character and Attitude.
5. Lookbook - I love Lookbook because it feeds my covetousness!  A girl has got to have an envious bone somewhere inside her to arouse motivation and inspiration.  I know it gets my ass working!
6. Guest bloggers - I will commission a few people to write here for variety.  I too get sick of myself sometimes so this move hopefully would make you realize Im worth missing. ;)  My brother has shown interest in filling in this role.  Imagine my worry.

This blog has always been my tool for self affirmation.  As I re-read my previous posts I relish in the thought that despite my flaws and failures this is the one thing Im sure to be good at.  When I write I fly, who needs feet?  It is in The ViXeN's LaiR that I have wings to fly!  Rising like a phoenix!

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!  

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! ^^
