Make Me Sexy

The Witch says:

I received a message from the Lady a few days ago announcing the considerable increase in her weight. Heck, I've always been obsessing with my weight since grade school, that is, until a few years back. Looking back, I realized it wasn't that bad. I wouldn't even consider myself overweight in any way. I thought, I feel sexier now than ever, though I'm "bigger" than what I used to be. I guess sexiness is a way of thinking and should always be held with a good dose of confidence.

With that I remembered several things that would never fail to make me sexy anytime, anywhere. One would be my stilettos. I just feel so girly when I'm wearing them. Another would be my minis. I might not have the best legs, but heck, I've gotten all the right reactions from the right people, ha! Last would be my "sexy" songs. Hearing them sends tingling sensations along the small of my back. Usher's "Yeah" makes me wanna head to the dance floor and just work it! The PCD's "Buttons" just gets me goin I could jump in cold water anytime. And of course, Beyonce's "Naughty Girl" just wants to make me do an instantaneous striptease.

This post is long overdue. ever since mozilla got blocked at the office, it became harder to edit posts.. that and the fact that the wireless connection here at home reaches everywhere but my room... tsk tsk.. the Lady recently told me.. "screw losing the 10 lbs. i cant stop eating" i laughed. ive been saying the exact same thing, screw losing the pounds. of course the Lady blames me for the gain, i dont think its very drastic. who wants to stop eating? i agree with the Witch: stilletos, minis and a good list of sexy mp3s and i dont think id ever stop feeling sexy.. although a good gaggle of men who constantly tell you that you look hot doesnt hurt either... :) hihihihi~ i think the Witch and the Lady would agree with that..

The Lady says:

Capitalizing on my weight problem, huh? Well, let's. Hihi~ It was a shock to actually see how much I really weigh now. And it was like what Oprah said about big buttocks. You've got to face it because you never know when a three-way mirror will accost you with the truth. It's better way to find out the truth on your terms than be ambushed by it. In my case, it was my friend's bathroom scale that accosted me with the astounding truth! But with that truth came the realization that I REALLY am not as young as I used to be. So much apparently has changed and memory is blurry as if looking thru a window in a rainy day.

Looking back, I can't remember the last time that I ever felt sexy. I don't think what I thought was sexy before applies to me now. Thinking of doing it concsiously, feels so ridiculous, feels manufactured. I'm no longer sure what makes me sexy.

If sexy is really all in the mind, then I'm in trouble. Sexy to me now, I think, is when I'm on the beach dancing the night away with friends or me in my pjs with my bed and it's cotton sheets, a book in hand and my favorite tunes banging in the background. Is that weird? All I know is that it's me. I still crave for the night outs dancing, that I'm so missing out now, but not as much as before.

To the Witch and the Bitch: Can and/or was there ever a time that a "who" can make us sexy? Don't like the idea but I'm thinking it's a "Yes".

The Witch says:

Since you've opened up the "who"...I have to agree. Why one man can have so much hold on me? He's the only one who can make me feel sexy and all woman. As the Lady said about one of the guys I used to date, "he's not f*ckable" and that translates to me NOT feeling sexy because I'm dating a boring father-like dud. That's mean, but it's more than honest. So keel me.

Make it Happen

The Bitch Says:

I was watching TV this morning. And the ever popular Ms Kris Aquino came on with a Q card in her hand where she was reading off her next big punch line. Turns out, it wasn't such a bad line...

She says:

There 3 types of people in this world. One are those who get out there and make things happen. Two are those who just stand there and wait for things to happen. And three? those who ask "what happened?!"

There's truth to these phrases ... isn't there?

The Witch says:

Makes perfect sense. I've become one of each at one point I guess. With regards to job my career I'm the take charge kind of person. I try to make it happen, ora mismo! Sometimes I even think I'm rushing things. Now I'mt rying to slow down once again, I'm moving too fast and learning too little in the process. I'm not after short-term success after all. In my personal life I'm more the second type. I stand on one side and I wait it out. What's the point of rushing things or pushing for it. That just kills the romance. And when it comes to politics and the government I'm more the apathist that I'd like to accept. It's a sad thing really but some things are better ignored on a personal level than be psychotic about things much bigger than yourself and which you can't even control.

At the end of the day what's important is you're living your life the best way you know how. Whether you're taking charge, you're on the sidelines or plain oblivious.

The Lady Says:

Makes perfect sense?" or "...living your life the best way you know how."

Snippets(?) from the Witch that helped me look at the Bitch's entry and find words on what I feel about the subject. Three kinds of people, 3 ways on how to live your life best. But we all know there is no one way to live life. For every phase of our lives, there's a different way we lived it, whether we thought it the best way or not. It's possible that we thought then that it was the best but looking back we decide it wasn't or we think it was the worse way but decide that it wasn't. I say, looking back, it was the only way for us. Otherwise we would not have learned what we need to learn and we won't be us at all. We can regret the things in the past but we should never forget to learn from them.

Reviewing my life, I have been each of these 3 types of people. When I was in High School and College, I was playing between being out there and making things happen and just being there and waiting. I was young and inexperienced and that led me down into a lot of headaches. I could have done without it but it did buffer me for the future! You could say it made me thick-faced, well-shielded, prepared for what was to come (Parang giyera pupuntahan noh? It's Terminator: Rise of the MAchines). But then again, with youth and inexperience at hand, I'm thinking I was just into high-drama. It definitely was a bitter-sweet phase in my life.

Then after doing the College stint, I made one heave for making things happen, and I freed myself from dependence. I am now happily doing all 3 all at the same time when the situation calls for it and just doing the waiting and being oblivious sometimes. Amazing? Not really. But how do you do all three?! By wanting more than one thing at the same time. One you can work on and make it happen, another you've already worked on before or watched somebody else work on it for you (It may be even for themselves and you just want to share in the fruit of their labors. Hihi~) and you're just waiting for the result, and last would be something that went by so fast that it dazed you (but you're still interested in the outcome). But I think it's more relaxing when your just waiting and being oblivious. To hell with the fast lane. Can I just get back to it some other time?

Now, does that make perfect sense? Is that living your life the best way you know how? I don't know! All I know is that I can live with it. If you can't, well, I don't see how you can live my life for you to mind very much how I'm living it. Oh! Unless you don't have a life. In that case, get one!

To the Witch and the Bitch: Sorry, sweeties. I've been under the weather lately that I was only able to finish my share today. :S

The Witch says:

Yipee! Finally the Lady gets to finish this entry. What's next? Speaking of being under the weather, y'know I've been there this past few days. No worries though, nothing that a good night's sleep can't work on.

Addiction Special

The Witch says:

We were gone for quite sometime for various explainable reasons...simply put, we're busy.

As I was hitting my head with things that needs my attention as the day closes (for us working at night though it means we're just about to start the headache) I remembered a friend from work telling me how addicted he is with his current crush. That however badly he gets treated he still wants him around. When he said that, though I was boiling with anger, all I was able to say was, "I understand."

I've a lot of addiction...from the mundane daily things to the supernatural sensations that can only be likened to heavenly.

The Bitch Says:

With a good little threat the Witch left as an offline message.. I finally got to put in my entry. Addiction. i've lots! you doesnt ? things i would die without.. things i would cry over.. things that may not need my attention but certainly has it.. :) heck why wouldnt that be addicting? im addicted to that hot hot guy on our blog page.. i know all of us are heehee~

lets break it down.. caffeine, sms, beauty, passion.. lust..~

The Witch says:

Now that you've started pulling items off of the list I can't deny the fact that I'm addicted to almost the same thing. Coffee and chocolates are like marijuana to me. Men are quite addicting too, in a mental, psychological and physical manner. Shopping is another thing on my list. Having shopping bags on my hands is like having a wheel in a racer's hand. Heaven, sweet, heaven.

The Lady Says:

You know how it feels like standing in front of a blank brick wall? It feels numbing! You stand there and stare and nothing. You don't move and you don't talk. You just stare.

That's what it's been like this past week for me whenever I start trying to work on an entry for this. And it's really not that frustrating so long as you don't think about it too much... But I'm thinking that it's time to break through this wall and I only know of one thing to do to be able to do that. Break the wall! Smash through it and put your back into breaking it. And since it's imaginary, I just ate pancit malabon, drank white chocolate mocha frap to rid me of the slighty fishy taste of the pancit and then started playing words on my Notepad. There you go! Brick wall is now just useful only for creating mosaic. :)

Whew! Now that's overwith, let's talk about addiction. As defined by Merriam-Webster, "Addiction is a compulsive need for and use of a habit-forming substance characterized by tolerance and by well-defined physiological symptoms upon withdrawal." COld? Unfeeling? Well, all the elements of an addiction is there so it's good enough for me. Where it fails in words, it remains faithful in spirit for the kind of addiction I have in the real world.

What am I addicted to? I'm addicted to "nothing". There are many kinds of "nothing" that you can come across in this world. Most of them fun and thrilling, giving us the high that we need the most. Some of them you just thought was fun and thrilling but it really wasn't, wasting not only your time but your effort. Cheap thrills, I guess, is what you call it. But one thing is for sure, there's always a price. It could be as small as 1 hour (wasted or not) or as big as a chaotic week/month. You just have to decide if it was worth it. And that "nothing" has gotten me into more trouble that I'd care to think about. I can't help it? Maybe. But I think most of the time, I decided that curiosity doesn't always kill the cat. And sometimes it is so fun to get some of that "nothing" that paying the price is not that onerous anymore. It's what you can live with, as I always say. But when it deals you a unwanted and surprising hand, either deal or abandon all dignity and run. :)
