The F word
Today i received this email:
Of all the words in the English language, one of the most useful and yet most controversial is the word FUCK. Strangely, there are hundreds and even thousands of words in the English dictionary, and yet FUCK is the only word that is referred to as the "F" word. It truly is a very magical word, because not all words can mean two very opposite things at the same time. The word FUCK can actually connote both pleasure and pain, or both love and hate at the same time, and in rare occasions, even in the same sentence!
Unknown to many, the word FUCK is actually a German derivative of the word "Frichen ", which means "to strike".. The exact date or age when this word was fully corrupted into the English language is unknown, but we can all assume that, in the early beginnings of the word, it was used to connote sexual intercourse between two people. However, it can be noted that FUCK is the only word that can be used in the most parts of speech known to man, especially in modern times.
If used as a transitive verb: "Adam FUCKS Eve."
If used as an intransitive verb: "Eve FUCKS."
If used as a noun: "Stay away, FUCKER!"
If used as an adjective: "Ryan's doing all the FUCKING work!"
If used as an adverb for a verb: "I'm trying to FUCKING sleep!"
If used as an adverb for an adjective: "Eve is FUCKING beautiful!"
It can even be a different part of a speech, all in one sentence! Take for instance the sentence: "FUCK off, you FUCKING FUCKED FUCKERS!"
Yet one the most amazing applications is to modify a word by inserting it into the word itself, giving stress and importance a million times over, like for example, the words: "abso-FUCKING-lutely!" or "in-FUCKING-credible!"
The word FUCK is definitely a word of so many uses. Strangely, even saying only the word "FUCK!" is already a complete sentence in itself, though it is not advisable because just saying that one word, due to its many applications, is quite vague in terms of its meaning because it can connote many things.
It can mean dishonesty (The insurance company FUCKED me.), it can mean difficulty (I don't understand this FUCKING question!), it can mean aggression (Don't FUCK with me, buddy!), it can mean trouble (Oh, I'm so FUCKED now.), it can mean incompetence (My teacher's a FUCKER!), or it can mean dismissal (Go FUCK yourself!). You can fill in more meanings by yourself.
Lately though, we see it constantly being used with the pronoun "YOU". When both are used, it is already a complete sentence in itself. It can mean a lot of things depending on the situation. If somebody told you that you're ugly and you reply by shouting "FUCK YOU!" with a smile, it can mean that you agree with him, but saying it with a frown and a raised fist can mean aggression. If somebody proposed his/her love to you, and you frown and say "FUCK YOU!", it's connotes disbelief. If you reply an "I love you" with a smiling "FUCK YOU!", it's already as good as "I love you too!"
The power of the word FUCK even transcends racial and class boundaries, because you can use it on anyone regardless of race, color, gender or orientation. Just one use of the word FUCK and everybody will automatically know what kind of person you are and how you were raised.
With all this said, let us not be afraid of the "F" word. Not many words exist with the same tenacity and the same power. Therefore, we must shine in pride, as the existence of the word FUCK simply means that we are near to perfecting our language and human communication in general.
Thank you for orienting yourself with this magical word, and if you have reached this far in reading, with a smile I would like to say "FUCK YOU!!!"
regards.
I know. I feel fuck-ified too.

you are what you wear
*tv commercial prelude sounding*
Hortatory voice:
Can't seem to find ANYTHING to wear? Spending hours infront of your wardrobe perusing through your clothes for something to match the perfect occasion? "No, that's soooo yesterday", "no, this one makes me look fat", "Urgh. Did i even get this?" Sounds uncannily familiar?
Yeah, sounds exactly like me truly.
Not.
Okay, yes.
But not just me!
Almost everybody has such days. (well, the ones who bother to dress up, at least)
Everyone needs the wardrobe essentials. The bare necessities of life, of haute couture.
Basically, if you don't want to look like a major fashion faux pas, you should make a check list of
your essentials. This is a list of what I think makes the list up:
1) the cardigan
2) a denim skirt
3) an adidas jacket (casual yet not too overdressed)
4) a pair of Levi's jeans ( i'm more of a skirt person, but believe me, there are times you'll be thankful you have a pair)
5) tank tops ( to balance your cut when you wear bohemian or dressy skirts)
6) a blazer
7) shorts/ capris ( and they need not be denim)
8) the LBD ( for those of you who still haven't figured what the initials mean- its Little Black Dress)
And i haven't even started on accessories, bags and shoes yet!
Accessories:
1) Bling bling diamante earrings (glams you up in a jiffy!)
2) hoop earrings (goes well for the casual or glitzy touch)
3) a choker
4) long chained loopy necklaces
5) a watch (never underestimate this little essential)
6) bangles
7) oversized shades ( takes you anywhere, covers up dark circles...need i say more?)
8) scarf (with psychedelic prints!)
9) a hat
Bags:
1) the clutch (perfect for evening functions)
2) evening bag
3) the tote bag (spacious enough for everything from magazines to your cosmetic pouches)
4) the essential trendy bag of all time ( Gucci for me!)
5) gym bag (never hit the gym without one)
Shoes:
1) wedges (the season's must-have!)
2) kitten heels (go for 3 inch ones if you're game)
3) boots ( hot hot HOT)
4) atheletic: sneakers
5) flip-flops ( for the beach bum or out-doorsy minx)
Okay. Now to head down town for more shopping!

seven deadly sins
Consuming more than required
A desire that soon backfired
Take it all but feeling empty
Hollow craving gluttony
They're jealous of what I possess
Beauty that of a princess
Elegance on every side
They yearn to have my looks and pride
Fury provokes bitter revenge
In time hate will avenge
Losing my mind once again
Wrath will make them feel my pain
They have what I will always want
They soar across Heaven's front
Their talent shows what I can't be
In this life I am green with envy
What is received is needed more
Eternal longing I can't ignore
Money and gold is what I need
To feed this ever-hungry greed
Resilience to work hard labour
Perform the minimum for my neighbour
Avoid a job but break an oath
Lack of commitment calls the sloth
Seduction and manipulation
Heartbeat races with temptation
Cheating bodies losing trust
Corrupting love to ravish lust
Don't hold me back, i'm giving in to the seven deadly sins.

who is that girl i see staring right back at me
I'm sure everyone realises by now the rampant usage of snapping our reflections. This little picture routine started around last year when people started getting digital cameras. Digital cameras became the new conventional picture snapper.
Then the snapping infront of mirrors started. To flaunt the digital cameras discreetly, or just plain narcissism, whatever.
I was being difficult and waiting to get it over and done with. That explains the look. Let's try shadow-snapping next time, Emm.
