The Power of the PEN is back AGAIN~!!







APRIL IS POETRY MONTH


po·et·ry/ˈpōətrē/

"Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm;..."


A quality of beauty and intensity of emotion regarded as characteristic of poems: "poetry and fire are nicely balanced in the music".
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I remember when I was in grade school, I had a handy journal (which I still have up to now) and a trusty pen which I stashed away in my school bag along with everything that I need to survive a tedious day of learning. When others doodled, I was being artistic in my own seat and writing down the menagerie of words running in my head!


After being an archaeologist in my room (yeah, I had some spring cleaning in line), I discovered my handy notebook, along with the poems I have written even as young as 12 years old! I was very young and beautiful then.{ now i'm just beautiful!}


In the occasion of April being POETRY MONTH , I shall be posting up some poems that I have written over the years, as well as those that have inspired my writings. 


I guarantee that some will make you smile, laugh, rekindle the feelings of being young, and even make you remember things that makes life worthwhile!


I also have a chapter entitled "BITCHY POETRY" which shows you the inside-my-head-thoughts of 17 year old me, going thru a crazy time being a teenager!!

What love can do




When two lovers love

The stars sparkle brightly from heaven’s above


When sweethearts kiss
Everything turns to bliss
Sweet roses and daisies merrily dance
As lovers pass by holding hands
Season flowers just bloom and die
Unlike love which doesn’t just come and pass by
Love has always been a mystery
And I hope the answer will come to me
Great kings and poets seek for the answer
Yet up to now they still wonder

It’s a mystery what love can do
But for me to be true
I still wonder like you
Surely, love will come in our lives too.

THANKS FOR READING THE FIRST POEM

FEEL FREE TO COMMENT 

10 March 2012

Everyone KNOWS, The way to a Man's heart (and for many...thru his pants) is thru his NOSE!




I'm a CERTIFIED PERFUMISTA!! - At least as of February 2012 when I raided my beauty desk, cabinets, purse, and random unimaginable places, I discovered that I legally and officially have 34 bottles of perfume! (Sans the perfume bottles I've stolen from my Mom's collection haha!!)



Before the Fashion Police sues me for smelling like an old lady (hummm, don't tell my mom this..!) and mismatching my perfume with my outfits- I just want to establish that thru the years my godparents, relatives and friends have the habit of sending me bundles of perfume. I am amazed I didn't have stupid ideas like spritzing my Chanel bottle on my shoes, bags, and other smelly places around the house that made my toes curl!!


************************************************************************************************************


I have often been told that the way to a Man's heart (and his pants!!) is thru his stomach ergo..a woman must be quick @ mastering cooking skills at par with the Iron Chefs and to do it in a French Maid outfit and a G-string! (okay, the last part was just a sarcastic twist!)
Unless you are willing to walk in a bar, a formal gathering, and an extremely public social event  without being labeled something politically incorrect, insulting & unjust- then Hunny we have to put the K-bosh on the fantasy sex outfit. 


Wearing the RIGHT PERFUME, on the other hand, that is suited to your Body Chemistry, Personality, and Go-getter attitude may be exactly what you need to get that hottie on the next corner chatting away.


WEARING THE RIGHT PERFUME IS PROVEN TO BE / DO:


99.8% - Socially acceptable than wearing a slutty outfit in public
87% - increase in appearing socially acceptable & pleasant around people. 


(In case you didn't know this...Duh!!)


 I don't advise everyone to splurge excessively on Perfumes which I believe, is a very important part of any woman's beauty arsenal so that's why I took the liberty of gathering, ranking, and testing these scents as well as observing and blogging the behavior of men around me. I'm sure that from these, you'd get an Idea of how these perfumes are before making a big purchase.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                       ***DISCLAIMER***
I firmly stand clear that I am basing my rankings on personal experience. I do not totally guarantee that you'd get the same reaction from People.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


RANK # 10 




                                                

SEXY, SULTRY, SWEET...That's the vibe that Dior gives out and I wore this on a nightout with girls. One girl asked me why there was this guy who wanted to talk to me the whole evening. I later found out that he thinks among the girls he met...He can tell that I was a girl with a very commendable background judging from the way I carry myself and smelled. 


RANK # 9





                                                     

If you dream of catching the attention of the guy you like, then give Anna Sui the chance to help you live your Dream! One thing I love about this scent is that even though I sweat, the scent remains and blends well on my skin!! I remember having this on the entire morning and rushing to the gym in the afternoon. After a 2-hour work-out , my crush came up to me and commented how good I smelled!! Well, the fact that I lived my dream of having him talk to me made me give this a thumbs-up and a permanent place in my arsenal.









RANK # 8
  
                                                   


I personally love a touch of PINK I have worn this on casual outings and someone commented that this perfume gave me the aura of being someone in style, in control, and FUN!! I get random smiles from strangers while using this. A touch of PINK, A TOUCH OF CLASS.




RANK # 7


                                                            
No need to guess why this made my list of top perfumes to attract men. The scent gives off a vibe that says. "I'm confident, beautiful, fun and classy". My then boyfriend from the U.S Army says that this scent can drive any soldier wild!! (***Wink!***)

RANK # 6
                                                        

Azzaro Pink Tonic sure is a fun Tonic to make men more interested in me. The times i'm out wearing these, I get compliments from Men of all ages (in a polite, complimentary way) and a lot of compliments about my UNIQUE Personality. Go figure that out!!

RANK # 5

                                                              
A Unique Energizing scent!! MaryKay Red Tea and Fig is a deodorizing bodyspray in one that lasted for hours.  In my experience, this is the best to wear when you are about to break out a sweat aka gym or when you're nervous. The scent masks of any unpleasant odour, and in my opinion suits most certain body types. Men say that I seem to be someone energetic, fun, on-the-go whenever I wear this. Though I am still to snag a kiss-on-the-first-date with this, I give this 5 stars for the innovation and awesomeness!!



RANK # 4



Enter to the Realm of Romance and Excitement!! When I first got this thru the mail, I was overwhelmed with the scent and found it too overpowering. When the scent blended with my own body chemistry , it left subtle hints of oriental spice and it was awesome!! This has pheromones added in it which makes us irresistible to men. In my experience, ladies are even nicer to me and some even came up to the bar just to talk and complement! Men are much more chatty around me and they do tend to lean in close to get a better sniff!!




RANK # 3 






MARYKAY VELOCITY


That was fast!! This was the scent I wore that got me a kiss on my first date!! True to its word, MaryKay Velocity lives up to its standard of world-class products. The scent gives you a feel-young vibe and you do feel like a million bucks when you wear it. The next day, I wore a new perfume scent and my man asked me to switch back to what I wore the night before as it drove him wild!!


RANK # 2



Oh YOU FLIRT!! A breakthrough from harvey prince perfumes which uses a combination scent of Pumpkin pie and Lavender and some few scent notes, this really packs a mighty punch!! I really love the scent and it does give you a feeling of control, excitement, and a boost in confidence. This perfume does the flirting for you and all you have to do is be your beautiful , confident , self-assured state as you'd watch the guys go gaga over you!! 

***funny thought, what if they came up with a perfume that makes you and him go wild...hummm from Eau Flirt to Eau bitch!!





RANK # 1




PHERAZONE for WOMEN!! WHY HELLO THERE!! Wearing this, I have had several flirt with me. According to the market, this has the highest blend of pheromones which can make us attractive to the opposite sex. I spritzed this on my pulse points, neck and chest area and omg!! One man, who's married and a long time friend of mine, came up to me and kissed me on my hand---which he never did! I also wore this with a group of young, single gentlemen (one even looked like tim tebow and he nearly bit me!!) and they also tend to be more chatty, open, flirty, a bit provocative + I normally get free drinks even from the bartenders!! How cool is that!!


This is one powerful part of your beauty arsenal ladies!! I am definitely buying more next time.





Ladies, Have a Wonderful date night and don't forget to pack a powerful punch with these scents!!! Tell me all about and how your date / part night went. Hooah~!

A Military Man's Promise : Dear John Anyone?

 


I remember the time the movie DEAR JOHN (By Nicholas Sparks) came out. I was a newly grad and I still had the high hormones and thrill for anyone with the bad-boy image, the knight-in-shining-armor-modern-gear which are the black leather jackets, jeans and boots, as well as the tight muscle shirts, and of course--The Uniforms! (I still am in love with a Military Man as I always am, but hey can't fault me for that!!)

I guess it's imperative to say, that I watched it because I was head-over-heels in love with Channing Tatum. I remember how sad it was for me to watch it, I was alone----my friends apparently had previous engagements and I wanted to escape the 4-walls of my room so there I was Tralalalalalalaling on my way to the movie house. 

Good Grief!! 2 hours into the movie I began sobbing...Not because they were shooting at Channing Tatum and how sad I was no hunky guy like that was in love with me---but simply, I can relate with how Amanda Seyfried's character felt. 

I was madly in love with someone from the United States Military-And though he seemingly had a shady past, I accepted all of it. Now, back to the point of my tears--I knew how it felt like to be not able to sleep for a week wondering where he is, I know how it feels like to have plans messed up by some freakin anti-terrorist jam, new orders, stations, deployments and so on. 

I remembered anything I ate tasted like card board (but I think those times card-board would have tasted better!!) whenever I would hear the news on how Iraq unrest was raising and my man in uniform-back then was nowhere to be seen online.

Even though that was years ago, I still have bittersweet memories of Him and though us not working out is a different story---I could only imagine what he wanted to tell me back then--...


********************************************************************************************
Fast forward into the future, I am now happily entering a new cycle in my relationship--(Though this time, with another military Man and a soon-to-be-captain! Wheeee!!) I would just like to share the same letter that has saved him from Me cutting ties with him for good! 


*********************************************************************************************

"I cannot promise you every night of my life. I cannot promise to be beside you for every difficult moment, every trial and every hardship. In truth, I can promise you that I will not be with you for most. I will leave you at inconvenient times. Any special date to us may be tainted with the anniversary of the death of one of my friends. I will ask you to take over whatever life we have built together for months and years at a time. And will then crash back into that life that you have used your sweat, your tears and your heartache to keep together and try to take it back as I knew it before. I will shut you out at times because it will be the best way for me to hold it together at that moment. I will lie to you. I will tell you I don't know things when I do. I will not always tell you where I am going, when I will be back or who I am with. I may not call you for weeks and months and you will not be able to call me. You will ask questions that I won't answer. You will know answers to questions that you will hope you never need. I will share things with my brothers that you will never understand. They may know things about me that you never will. They will be a support to me in some things that you cannot be. I will miss birthdays. I will miss anniversaries. I may need time to process things that seem natural to everyone else. It will seem that someone or something will always take precedence over you. You may lose me long before you ever thought possible. I will uproot you and ask you to re-establish our family anywhere in the world, in any season, at any time, over and over again. Sand and mud will be tracked through your halls from the boots I am too tired to take off. I will leave you when you beg me not to. I will stand at attention while you cry beside me. I will walk away. I will knowingly break your heart. And I will do it again - and again. I cannot promise you all of me. I cannot promise you much of anything. But if you will have me, I can promise that as I march away from you- it is not without sharing your heartache. I promise you that every time I break your heart I will be breaking mine. Every time that I cannot answer you I will be protecting you. Whenever you want to call and you have no number to dial- I will be wanting to do the same. I will protect everything that we have created together with every fiber of my being while you do the same back at home. I will honor you in everything -every moment that we are apart and every moment that I am with you. I will fight harder and push further knowing that I do so for you. And I will carry you with me in everything until my sandy boots once again sit just inside our door." 

********************************************************************************
Tear Jerking I know!! I'm sure there are other Military ladies out there!!
Hang-on to your MAN!! Remember we do it with a HOOAH~!!
