Fire Breathing

So for Christmas my lovely brother Jon got me a Teavana limited edition " 6 Dragon Symphony Tea Tumbler".

What am I drinking? Well, Samurai Chai Matte Oolong tea of course!

The tea tumbler comes with a collector's silk lined gift box but it is double layered glass and I'm afraid to bring it to travel with or work.

But oh...isn't it grand?

I shamelessly admit to feeling like a warrior child when I drink out of this.

Guess what just became my new desktop background?

I bet NYC misses me because I surely miss it.

Inspiration of the Day

Haircut Before and After

Before the hair cut. Only lost about 2 inches

I wanted a change but not a drastic one to my already medium length hair. I had bangs already and didn't want to deal with the hassle of an awkward stage of uneven length hair I'd have to commit to.

My style hair inspiration was a "lob" aka a bob cut that is a little longer and less structured. One of my style icons Nicole Richie effortlessly donned this look:

If I don't write my resolutions down

I’ll forget:

1. Concerts

2. Actually go to my doctor appointments

3. Love anew but not necessarily ” a new” :)

4. NYC MoMA and food tour and planetarium with someone special

5. New job in my respective field

6. Stop cutting my hair

7. Stop sleeping with my contacts in

8. Actually eat breakfast, lunch THEN dinner.

9. Finish White Collar seasons 3 and 4, AHS season 2

10. Get my ride vrooooooooom!

11. Start a tattoo fund jar for myself.

12. Limit my search frequency of Ryan Gosling. 

13. Never give up on what my heart tells me and who it tells me makes me smile most genuinely.

Not really resolutions, just really really really attainable goals.

Response to Jalopnik article " What's The Most Annoying Driver Habit Where You Live?"

Here in Philadelphia you can see where the care for road infrastructure and sensibility teeter off the city management's and residents' "to do" list in the City of Brotherly love. Lowered cars to create sleek streamline profiles only do so in vain as countless and shameless so-called "gear heads" only meet a sleek and nearly flawless profile with the undercarriage of their car as they smash into the potholes and uneven streets of Philly. All the while cursing out a very avoidable and common sense mindset of "how low can you go?" can you get down low?" Obviously for the city I live in, you can't get down low without kissing the street and kissing your car's lip, kit and bumper bye bye.

Here is the original Jalopnik post. 

”Don’t tell your daughters to not

go out. Tell your sons to behave

and respect properly”.

Powerful sign from India’s rape tragedy. This even applies to just a woman walking down the street I’m tired of how some fucking “men” act on a regular basis! I hope India’s movement to stop how female sex crime victims get treated moves forward with the utmost regard for future women’s rights.

If you want to weigh out harmless catcalling, inappropriate remarks, gestures and harassing as nothing or not as equal to rape then you should go take a crash course in how to be a decent human being.

Tolerance of these perceived “less threatening” acts needs to stop now. We have a zero-tolerance policy for things such as bullying and violence that are shown to cause detrimental emotional and behavioral effects YET when a girl walks down the street and is harassed from a car full of rowdy young men it’s nothing. 

This is unacceptable. The rhetoric and culture around women, rape, and just simply respect needs to be addressed.

I’m sorry but India’s rape tragedy has been bothering me so much lately, I hear and track the updates on the story and just get disgusted. What’s worse is that it takes a public outrage to finally address something that needs to be addressed everywhere.

I pray for the victims, the women everyday who are subjected to this useless nonsense and I pray for the future of not only women’s rights in India but around the world.

One of my favorite photos of my favorite people. You always feel like time flies when you were surrounded by amazing friends.

I wish for this to remain the same.

There is a certain feeling of solace and uneasy peace that comes from not going out, staying in, being an introvert.

The uneasy part is knowing what would make it comfortable is the company of another fellow introvert.

To be different and away from this world is one thing, to be all of these together with someone is another.
