Players Only Love You When They're Playin'

Dedicated to all the players out there. :P

"I heard you're a player. Nice to meet you, I'm the coach."

“Was I bitter? Absolutely. Hurt? You bet your sweet ass I was hurt. 

Who doesn't feel a part of their heart break at rejection.

You ask yourself every question you can think of, what, why, how come,

and then your sadness turns to anger.

That's my favorite part. It drives me, feeds me, and makes one hell of a story.”

― Jennifer Salaiz

Sweetest Taste Of An Ageless Rush

“what is love? what was love for me?

it was when I believed I was the happiest person on earth if I had only him and nothing else

it was when I looked at him and felt a pain in my chest over how I would find anything more beautiful

it was when I started writing cause what he made me feel was so intense

it couldn't just remain in my thoughts

it was pain, a feeling that emptied out my chest and ate me alive knowing just because I love you,

it didn't entitle me to have you.

My love for you was like an ocean slowly drowning me

and I was clinging to the last piece of driftwood that was my hope.”

Hello Beautiful World!

After the storm comes the... beautiful Friday?

Is that how it goes? I am fairly certain that is correct. ;)

My Pollito and I survived the storm last night, yay! There were over 2000 lightning strikes

recorded in my area, and much heavy rain and very strong winds. Pretty scary.

By the time my Steppenwolf came to see me, my stress level was over the top, happy and grateful

that it was over and that we were safe, but still shaking.

Many surrounding areas lost electricity, but I was one of the fortunate ones who didn't.

Now, after the storm comes the cleaning up. Tree branches, leaves, and my neighbor's trash.

I woke up to a yard covered in trash, probably a month's worth of trash, not kidding.

Call me crazy, but after last night's scare, I thought the yard actually looked very festive and happy this morning,

colorful with all the trash, like a beautiful spring garden. ;) Thank you neighbor for the trash!

Time for dinner now.

Wishing you an exciting and restful weekend ahead. Stay safe and happy, always!

She Got Them Honey Bones

EXPLORING SECOND LIFE

This day was for the birds, I tell you. There were so many of them, left and right.

They kept curiously looking at Sunny and me as they slowly moved away from us

when we decided to park our precious behinds right next to them.

"Sunny, do you think we stink?"

I raised my arms to smell my armpits but it wasn't me. My armpits smelled like a garden,

a beautiful scent of fresh flowers. Then I smelled Sunny and he actually smelled better than I did.

So what was these birds' problem with us? I just don't get it!

Better shake my bag of bones to get rid of all the negative vibes and let the birds win for today.

But just for today, tomorrow this spot is ours! You hear me? OURS!

Honey Bones

- Dope Lemon -

[Chorus]

"She make you feel alright

She make you feel ok

She keep you up at night

Ah she got them honey bones

Ah she got them honey bones

She got them

Ah she got them honey bones

She got them honey dripping from her bones...

Hello Beautiful Second Life!

So here we have JAPONICA behind the scenes.

This is a part of this beautiful event that can only be seen if you venture outside the event's grounds.

This particular area is located behind the left-side booths as you enter the event.

It is a group of small different "backgrounds" put together by our designers.

There are poses available with each box or you can use your own.

They are beautifully perfect for pictures as you can see. ;)

I have decided that for this blog post, I will be giving away a kimono like mine, in any color-choice

to one winner randomly selected on July 19th at 12p.m. SLT.

The chance to enter this giveaway ends on July 18 at 12p.m. SLT.

Daru Yukata Kimono by [SHIFUKU] 

All you have to do is comment below (for this post only) and make sure to include your inworld name

so I can be able to contact you in case you are the winner. This opportunity is for both women and men.

Details On Woman Kimono

Details On Man Kimono

If I only get one comment, then the kimono goes to that person.

If no one comments, then I'll cry. :P 

It is something small I know but it is a way to show you my beautiful readers how thankful I am

for all your love and support. If I see a good response to this giveaway I might be doing more

in the future. We'll see. ;)

And NO!!! Steppenwolf is not allowed to enter this giveaway!!!

SHOO, GO AWAY! ♥

Now, whoever wins the beautiful kimono will still have two days to take beautiful pictures

behind the scenes of Japonica like I did. Good luck to everyone! ♥

but that is it too low and we reach it."

人間にとって最大の危険は、高い目標を設定して達成できないことではなく、低い目標を設定して達成してしまうことだ。

Hello, and a very happy day to all!

I come to you from one of my favorite events in Second Life.

This is

:::BAROQUED:::Japonica/ORIENTILIKA/Gothical

(Moderate)

This round opened on June 30th and will end on July 21st.

Still there's enough time left to visit if you haven't done yet and enjoy the colorful beauty of the place.

I picked up a thing or two from this round during my visit, the beautiful kimono I am wearing which was my

favorite thing from this round, [SHIFUKU] Daru Yukata F 2024 - 01.

HERE you can view the gallery.

I have covered this beautiful event in the past [Japonica Day & Night] which I enjoyed doing so much

because of how beautiful I always find it. Everything from the decor to the amazing exclusives that our

Second Life designers create for us, to the beautiful people that I run into while I am there.

However, on this occasion, I restrained myself from photographing real people and focused on the

fake ones which was truly very hard for me to do since I love capturing the beauty of people with my

camera. Maybe next time. ;)

More than just a place for shopping, Japonica is a place to enjoy and have fun with friends or on our own.

It is a place that inspires every photographer because of all the beautiful vivid colors all around.

The beauty of the place is equally appreciated both at night and in the daytime.

But there is always more to explore and discover as I always say and that is what is behind the scenes,

just like in the movies.

Coming very soon, part two of Japonica, Behind The Scenes.

Take care everyone, Over & Out!
