how I would redefine the "antelopes" if I could control it.

These first two groups are closer to cattle than the others

nilgai are nilgai, 4-horned antelope now go by the local name Chousingha, or dwarf nilgai if we need to talk about these two together as "nilgai'.

Spiral-horned antelope are now "dualicorns" or Tragelaphs, (Tragelaph's being mythical goat/deer hybrids they get their name science name from) depending on your level of whimsy. Mountain nyala are now balbok. Lesser Kudu I'm now gonna call the Mose's Tragelaph for being native to both sides of the red sea.

The following groups are progressively close to goats

impala are just impala

Suni, are now eastern Suni, bate's antelope is western Suni.

the Antilopinae (gazelles and close relatives) get to stay antelopes. gazelle taxonomy is a mess right now so if gazelle is paraphyletic let's just widen what is an gazelle.

If you want, we can keep calling the duikers and the Klipspringer antelopes to, your call. No real opinion either way.

I don't have a great name for the Reduncinae, Reduncins? pondbucks? backwardsbucks? Either way 2 of 5 species in the genus Kobus are lechwe and they don't seem to be particularly related so now I'm calling all the Kobus members lechwe's.

the alcelaphinae (Tsessebe, hirola, hatebeest, both wildebeest species, bontebok) are now all beests, or bests, I like the idea of a group of animal's simply called "beasts" but best might lessen confusion. The grazing-antelopes I could call "Hipotrags" but that doesn't feel catchy enough, instead I'll create a pormantaue based on their facila markings of "badger " "hart"( an archaic term for doe) and get "badgehart" the Swahili name for Sable antelope, mbarapi, is sometimes used in English, so now Sable antelope's are sable mbarapi and roan antelopes are roan mbarapi, and the extinct bluebuck is blue mbarapi for good measure.

we don't need the term goat-antelope, anything closer to a sheep than a wildebeest is now just called a Caprine. Tibetan antelope are now only by the local name Chiru.

I wanted to use a native word for the Rocky Mountain goat but had trouble, so for now it's the american takin and the Takin is the asian takin, we can call the extinct species Harrington's Takin. Myotragus can just be Myotragus instead of Cave-goats.

Barbary Sheep are now just Aoudad, 3 unrelated species are "Tahr", Himalayan Tahr had it first so now they're just Tahr. for Nilgiri Tahr I'll take their Tamil name Varaiiadu. I can't find the local name for the Arabian Tahr so for now it's the Eastern Aoudad,

Bonus! "deer"!

Musk deer are the sister group to bovids, I really honestly like the genus name Moschus, I think it's catchy enough to double as a common name. The sister group to those two, the Chevrotians, or mouse-deer, stay Chevrotians.

Xcess Salon Review

Admit it guys and especially girls, heading into a sophisticated salon makes us think twice due to financial reasons so the ending is - we settle for take it or not, less.

Well, not until I met XCess Salon.

Who says cheaper prices have to equate cheap hairstyles? XCess Salon absolutely provides the kind of hair styling + quality service that means more bang for your buck.

Settling for quality, celebrity-caliber ‘dos doesn’t have to be expensive - coz XCess Salon gotcha.

I feel so glad to share with you guys my experience at XCess Salon.

It was one Wednesday afternoon with my friend slash photographer Dave when we visited XCess Salon. It’s located at GF, Unit 101, Yashano Mall Legazpi.

Upon entering the salon, a massive poster of the gorgeous TV/Movie Personality Carla Abellana captured my attention. I remember, there was a time when she, as the face of XCess Salon, went to Legazpi last December 2015 just to attend its grand opening. Superb, right?

Two of the nicest crew greeted me and I did the same, with a wide grin on my face. I kinda introduced myself and I looked for the manager, Ma'am Cherry and it’s ironic how I was already talking to the person I was looking for. Haha! She’s very hospitable - thanks to Filipino blood, and she asked if I could wait for the hair stylist assigned to me, Sir Joel.

While waiting, here are some pictures I took inside the salon. I find the interior chic and appealing.

The #teamnice crew.

The very nice crew of XCess Salon doing their best in what they do.

I was amazed by the number of customers who were having their me-time!

How to be you, Miss Carla?

The pricelist of XCess Salon. It has a wide array of services which are pocket-friendly.

A picture with the manager, Ma'am Cherry and the assigned hairstylist Sir Joel :) They’re easy to approach! The three of us had a small talk and he decided what’s best to do with my hair. He wanted the Dynamic Gloss Cellophane and Biolage Anti-Hair Loss Treatment. Aaah, good one to rescue my damaged hair.

Starting out, shampoo first.

Ma'am Cherry passed me to Sir Joel. He began to do the Dynamic Gloss Cellophane on my hair. I’ve been a fan of cellophane until now because it’s good to cover up the tresses. I usually have it together with rebond which is turning a year now. I chose color brown for the shade. It was 20 minutes before rinsing. (Rebond please :D Man, I’m dying for highlights haha)

After cellophane, it was time for Biolage Anti-Hair Loss Treatment, 20 minutes leave-on. It was my first time trying it and I gathered some information from Sir Joel. He believes that it locks hair moisture and can prevent hair loss. I loooved it.

I had fun talking to Sir Joel. He’s funny and friendly as well. Plus so makulit! We talked about random things.

After the process, voila! My hair was sooo soft, tamed and healthy again. I opt for temporary curls instead of straightening. Thanks, Sir Joel!

And hey, I didn’t expect that the owner, Ma'am Gesselle Ong was there. I ran into her and did hug her. She’s like an angel for being sooo kind. We talked and I found her amazing. I was so kilig when we took pictures.

We actually had a small interview. At such young age of 22, she started out handling a clothing line in Metro Gaisano and as of now, she’s 28, managing a salon and spa! Wow! Business has been her passion and I’m gonna say that she’s blessed due to having a huge heart. XCess Salon also has a branch in España. Years of juggling business, she’s still got heart for her passion and career and it’s feels like playground for her. So inspiring!

She even gave me and my friend vouchers for Sparty which I am excited to try out and share with you guys soon!
