The Light

The Light

I saw the light shineth... HIS light, and at that very moment I knew my life would be changed forever. He had touched my heart with the purest and most gentle of emotions. It was like love had been reinvented the second he appeared. He sheltered me and protected me as much as he could from all harm. My tears became his tears and my smiles became his joy. And then.... we became one light ... one heart ... one journey through life.

Yesterday, my circle of love (Tai Chi, Tempura) was beautifully adorned with the celestial presence 
of a beautiful fairy. She was quiet and yet would greet everyone with a sweet hello.

What's up Dancer? ... Why the long face? :P

So I hear the holidays already knocking at my door with jingle bells and all that Christmas-y mooshy stuff that I love so much. What better way then to welcome the Christmas spirit wearing something sexy and better yet at a great bargain.
This is the [PA!] REINDEER  outfit that you can get for L$1 at the MarketPlace. It includes the boots and antlers with the bright red nose.
Ms. Rudolph

Ok, so I was told that reindeer lunch time was served around this time. How long do I have to wait to get my carrot? Gosh, no wonder Dancer and the rest of the reindeer have such a long face!

By the way, this beautiful
PEPPERMINT EYES that I am wearing are available at the market place for FREEEEEEEEEEE!!!YAY!
Ms. Rudolph
YAY... I think someone is coming.  Come on Prancer.. it is lunch time!

Beating of Bonham

Beating of Bonham

Does your heart go bob-bim-ba-ba every time he looks into your eyes?
Or how about when your lips come together in the softest kiss ever?
Yes, you know what I am talking about!
All it takes is the slightest touch or the nearness of him to make my heart go crazy.
Hmmm, even better when I can have that same effect on him...

"John Bonham is playing in my heart :-P"


Know more about John Bonhan.

Beating of Bonham

Now let's talk for a moment about what I am wearing. No, I am not dressed for a funeral, thank God, even though Ocean says I look like it and Etrad asked me what was the deal with the veil. :P This is my new Chalayan Outfit from  LIV Glam. It is my pick for this week's FIFTY5 THURSDAYS. There are 77 stores participating this week so I am more than sure that there are great finds for everyone ;)
Beating of Bonhan

My hat is part of the "For the Love of... Tribute" outfit from RFyre Gothic Couture Clothing and my fabulous shoes were a gift from Ocean. They are the Shark Xtremeheel "Galaxy" from N-core Design.

RAWRRR, love my heels just like I love to feel my heart out of control every time you are near ;)

A Little Slash

A Little Slash

Hello, is anyone out there?!
Oh yes, there you are.... muah!

Got to forgive me please but I've been feeling under the weather for a few days now and running a high fever :( Gosh, I hate it so much when I get sick, it completely slows me down in all of my plans of the long list of things that I need to accomplish for each day. I need to be moving, make things happen, feel productive and oh well, all I have managed to do is crawl out of my bed for a couple of hours to then crawl back under my blankets and sleep the day away. What a waste of time. Precious minutes just thrown away!

My friends insisted that I need to rest and not worry too much, to stop thinking about everything 'til I get better. OMG, how I wish I could do that... but for now, can't do sorry :P

The good thing is that I still remember this week's SECRET WEDNESDAY deal and my pick are this great Chaos Ripped Jeans (Mesh) from CHAOS MAINSTORE. The top I am wearing is a dollarbie you can find at this same store.
A Little Slash

My Wristband Peoria comes from the MarketPlace for L$1 I believe. While visited the page I found some great  Earring "Love" for free that you might also want to get.

The location for my photos is at our home in Ocean's pool room.

Now who doesn't love Slash?
I DO, I DO!!!
He is absolutely a monster of the guitar, a Gibson Les Paul to be more exact. Slash actually owns more than 250 different guitars :O

How about his trademark hat that he's been wearing since back in 1985 when touring with Guns and Roses? That has to be one of my faves in my SL hat collection and was created by Willy Wiskee.

If you want to know why Slash wears the hat please visit

Bye for now, time to crawl back into my bed :P

Try... Pink


Try

Ever wonder about what he's doing
How it all turned to lies
Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why


Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try

Eh, eh, eh
Try

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy
Even when it's not right

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Try

Ever worried that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by by by
Try

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try
You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try

You gotta get up and try try try
Gotta get up and try try try

Tempura's Angel

Tempura Island,My Writings,Aedo Destiny,Juve (juve31),Dedications to Me,Friends,Ocean,Forbidden,Songs,Songs / Other,Chats,MK (monkeyking2011),


Are you an angel?
That is what I keep getting asked since the day I put this outfit together. 
My reply to them is always the same, "Oh how I wish I was."
 Ocean, however, believes that I am; he calls me his "sweet angel" and every time he does, 
it never fails to bring a smile to my face.

Ocean: go to sleep my angel
Ocean: MY angel
Ocean: AHEM
Lori Novo: hahaha
Ocean: MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE MINE 
MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MINEEEEEEE 
MINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Lori Novo: hahahaha



Actually, this outfit wasn't something well planned but more like something 
in the spare of the moment. Ocean and I were going to Tempura and I needed something fast 
to change into and the white dress was the first thing I found. 
The hair however I was already wearing for a post I had been working on. 
But the wings were something I added later on while we were at Tai Chi when 
I saw my good friend Forbidden wearing his beautiful black wings.

Flickr

My love for wings started the very first time I saw Aedo Destiny, Tempura's Italian angel.
From that moment on I started collecting different types and wearing them often, 
especially when I see someone wearing wings.

Aedo has been and always will be Tempura's angel, the first one anyway. 
However, now I am starting to be recognized as Tempura's angel as well. 
People seem to now mention Lori Novo as the angel who loves Tai Chi. This is a great honor for me. 
I don't know if it's well deserved, but it fills me with an immense love 
that makes me want to do good and do better for every person that I meet.

MK (Monkeyking2011) however refers to me as The Melancholy Angel of Tempura
which is the title of a post he wrote about me in his Depraved Monkey Blog
Thank you MK for such a lovely article :)

MK (Monkeyking2011): you looked sad but beautiful. the perfect look for someone 
who only has memories of SL ;-)
Lori Novo: ty, I was sad, still am, but like the song says, smile even though your heart is aching
MK (Monkeyking2011): one of the few times an avatar actually reflected the state of the owner.
interesting.


These photos were actually taken for my best friend Juve. :P 

Juve: look in my profile baby
Lori Novo: omgggg Juvieeeeeeeeeeeee

Lori Novo: you are the greatest

Juve: I never wanna miss you darling your are really my very best girlfriend....

Lori Novo: we will be friends forever :)
Juve: I am sure we will
Lori Novo: :)))

Juve is just one example of the many wonderful friends I have been blessed with. 
I thank God for each and every one of them every single day... 
they are the ones that are true angels that brighten my life with their love for me ;)

The Beautiful People ... Forbidden


Meet Forbidden ONE (The Beast) from France

Believe me, underneath that dark look hides a beautiful soul, I should know, Forbidden is one of my dear friends. At first sight, his appearance might scare you, heck, I even asked him the day I met him if he was a demon, he just laughed and said, "No, I am just Forbidden!" After chatting with him I was able to uncover a friendly and sweet man. I just hope he doesn't kick my butt for revealing what a sweetheart he really is when he is trying to keep that "beastly" look :P

His First Life;
"RL? Do you want to DIE?"


Lori Novo: RL? Do you want to DIE?...?
Lori Novo: hahaha funny :P
forbiddenwish2012 Resident: lol
forbiddenwish2012 Resident: do you?

Lori Novo: hahaha, will it depends if its not too painful

The Beautiful People ... Etrad


Meet Etrad Alex from Florida, USA.

The way I found Etrad was very unusual. He was actually on the ground 
when I arrived at the Tai Chi circle last night. He was just there, very still in the middle of everything
and everyone, so obviously I asked if he was OK. He then disappeared but not before I was able to open
his profile. I did notice before he left, that his Avatar looked amazing and after reading his profile, I was
very pleased with what I read on his 1st Life section;

"Hate to tell you, but it's all real, if you think you can hide behind sl you are wrong.
"If I don't touch your soul in my absence, tell me and I'll not return."
I have found that loneliness is usually self-induced."
~Etrad~

After a few minutes, Etrad returned to the Tai Chi circle and I was able to take his photo and have a
little chat with him and I was able to see how friendly and easy-going he is.  In his real life, he has
worked with youth groups which is a big plus in my book. One thing that I liked very much about him
was his modesty. Something very rare to find in Second Life.

Etrad's profile photo

"After we have seen it all, been everywhere, and experienced everything, 
all we really have left are our memories and the friends that survived the voyage.

I have met 4 kinds of Avatars on SL:
1. Newbies that need all the help they can get.
2. Stuck-up and rude ones that think they know everything there is to know.
3. Mindless sex addicts that have killed all their brain cells over masturbating.
4. Real people behind keyboards that express their true feelings and are not afraid of all the above."
~Etrad~

Dead Butterflies


Dead Butterflies
~Written by Pepsii Viper~


Tear drops falling
From these petals they call eyes
Enclosed within a Japanese garden
Painted with prims of virtual lies
Here in this world where reality clashes fantasy
My heart got broken within a day
When I fell in love with a wanderer
Who came to explore but can not stay
Such words he spoke to sway my heart
Sweet kisses stolen under a moonlighted sky
He gave me glimpses of shadowed dreams
Grew me wings of love that can not fly
Like running sand in an hourglass
I knew his departure time draws near
As if we were star crossed lovers sharing our last embrace
He gave into my greatest fear
“ adieu my beauty for I must be gone
To journey newer greater heights
Perhaps by chance we will met again
In another sim they call second life.”
And when he left a piece of me he took
Not quite a lover nor a friend
But a sad sense of loneness
Like dead butterflies fluttering in the wind.

Pepsii, from California USA, loves to write poetry. I met her through BlackHawk some time ago and I am very honored to have her as a friend.

Thank you Pepsil for the beautiful poem and hope to see more of your beautiful writings in the future.
























The Beautiful People ... Shady


Meet Shady Shostakovich from Australia

She is the kind of person that anyone will be lucky to meet. She has that special sweetness that attracts others to her in an instant. Friendly and with kind words for everyone is what makes her stand out from the crowd. Shady has plans to create a SL blog which I am really looking forward to. 

Wishing you the best of luck and that you may continue to bring joy to others as you did to our Circle Of Love (Tai Chi, Tempura) last night

Don't get your knickers in a knot.  It achieves nothing and makes you walk funny!

I'm On Fire!

I'm On Fire

Hey little girl is your daddy home
Did he go and leave you all alone
I got a bad desire
oooh I'm on fire

                                 

I'm On Fire

Ok, so it's Thanksgiving and I am exhausted from cooking and stuffed like the turkey we just ate  for dinner. I just want to  kick off those heels and get comfy. This is why my
FIFTY5 THURSDAYS pick for this week is this cute SWEET SLEEPOVER SET that comes from 1 HUNDRED.

Tell me now baby is he good to you
Can he do to you the things that I do
I can take you higher
oooh I'm on fire

I'm On Fire

Sometimes it's like someone took a knife
baby edgy and dull
and cut a six inch valley
through the middle of my soul

I'm On Fire


At night I wake up with the sheets 
soaking wet and
a freight train running
through the middle of my head - 
only you can cool my desire

oooh I'm on fire......

Happy Thanksgiving

Words That Hurt


Words That Hurt

What brings more joy to the heart than to bring happiness to others.
I always say that if I can make at least one person smile in the day, my day has been wonderful. 
However, it is so easy to hurt people in a blink of an eye. All it takes is a simple wrong word or a
sentence.  Many times what we say to people or about them not only hurts them 
but the people that love them as well. 

Why use this beautiful gift God gave us as a tool to hurt or insult or humiliate others? 
What gratification do we really get from it? None, we should be ashamed of ourselves for this. 
It requires the same effort to give a kind word, to be respectful and compassionate than to 
belittle another human being.

This post I am writing is for my own doing, for a minute there and without thinking much, 
my words made another person feel bad. There are no excuses and this shouldn't be acceptable. 
My intentions in life have always been to bring a smile, courage, and inspiration to others. 
I have always preached that if we have nothing nice to say about another person, 
it is best to say nothing at all. Then why did I so quickly forget there what I stand for?

One of my first posts talks about what I stand for and that is to use my words 
as God intends me to do.




We should never let our pride get in the way from stopping to admit what we have done wrong 
and especially to apologize for doing so. It brings peace to the heart when we can sincerely say... 
"I am very sorry".

Mr.  Ethernium Mystic, I would like to again apologize to you, but this time here in my blog, 
where it was here that my words were not proper to such a gentleman like you. 
You have all my respect and gratitude for such a lovely IM that opened my eyes and made me realize
that for a minute there I was going on the wrong path with my words.
 And I just hope that one day I get to see your wings fully rezzed since I know they will be 
as beautiful as the human being that is wearing them.

-------------------------------------

Mr. Ethernium Mystic: Lori... what you wrote is one of the most beautiful and brave things 
I have seen here in SL. As I said earlier... It says a lot about you.... now it wasnt really necessary....  
not to me at least... however, If I were you,  I may understand you did it for you not for me.  
Since I sincerely think that it is always wise to recognize and rectify on each one behavior.  
Again... I guess in this case the apology is far bigger than the offense.. 
it that could have been called so. Thank you for showing what a nice person you are. 
I didn't know you, but now I am glad that I do.


This is my SECRET WEDNESDAY pick for the week. It is the
 Vionnet Dress from LIV Glam. It comes in 24 Colors (Via Hud).
