The Wedding...

     
            What exactly constitutes a happy marriage... I have absolutely no idea... Is it love?? understanding?? honesty?? or all of the above and more??? The majority of the examples I have seen in my life are rather poor... Its actually a given that love is universal but it just isn't enough unless your willing to TRY... But then again maybe LOVE is all you need to keep trying... Trying to work out the issues despite detrimental circumstances... Impossible?? who knows!! Is it even a question why most of my generation and the ones that follow hold marriage to be quite a joke... Lets not talk about Kim Kardashian.. :P :D :P But on a serious note, its not really right for us to judge a union that we know little about.
               Its no secret that I came from a broken family, maybe of course to my adoring public viewing this blog... yea its new information! My parents parted in very good terms or so I believe, as friends you could say... Most people actually find it funny that my mum and step mum are good friends... Well life is FULL of surprises!!!! Today it is hard to hold on to any belief with unshakeable conviction, simply because it has become convenient to question everything and anything in general... What is commitment?? when it is so easy for anyone to just give up, just walk away or even just call off a wedding...
              Based solely on a contract that keeps two people together, dressed in flowers and fabric, yet grown into traditions so diverse and breath taking, it's one of those social norms that just keeps growing in structure and meaning... The preparation, the brilliant colors and amazing people that come together to celebrate two people and their commitment, it is quite extraordinary. I was most recently exposed to a wedding, my sisters and hence my long vacation over in Sri Lanka... There was so much planning and work that went into it... And finally she took the leap...


     


         Maybe not everyone is meant to tie the knot but these 2 love birds were most definitely meant to be together... Some couples are meant to end up together and I am so glad that my sis found the love of her life... Their connection is quite evident especially to people that know them personally... Their union is something that gives me faith about finding the one... n getting hitched!! :P :P
       






      I dedicate this post to my Sis & Bro-in-law, may you always be happy and treasure each other.... Love U Always!!!




                So what's my ultimate opinion when it comes to marriage?? Marriage is a challenge, when you think about it, every relationship is.... And not many of us  might be willing to take it up and the few of us that do... Well... I do salute you!!!! Cause its not happily ever after from there... Its a whole big adventure you take with someone... Who will guide you when its too dark to see... Who will cuddle you when its too cold and who will hold your hand... Just to show you that they are there for you... Right there...  It may not be all hugs and kisses along the way but as long as you keep trying, keep loving, I doubt that you could go wrong...

The Flight...

                    To my adoring fans and followers, the countable 3... :P :D :) I apologize for my tardiness in updating my blog... So here's my first blog post after my long vacation in Sri Lanka...
              What do we think about flying??? Before flying existed, people had to resort to ships and perhaps hot air balloons, or even blimps. Our world is changing sooo fast, especially the way we look at things and so there is almost always a constant wave of new things coming our way, take for instance the new iphone...
            Traveling with friends is pretty much the best way to travel, but traveling all by yourself is sometimes an excruciating experience especially the long haul flights with the connections. I had to make 2 connections and the overall trip basically lasted over 24 hours... I flew Jet airways on one sector and the other was Air Canada, but I must say I enjoyed the AC sector. Flights can get really full and sometimes you may even feel claustrophobic, which happens when the air conditioning is on the low down, but this almost never happens. Leg SPACE!!!!!! There should be even space to twist your feet in whatever direction possible, after all you need to keep the blood in your lower extremities moving... If your one of those people who enjoy walking about aisles, well good for you but look out for turbulence... I always wondered what would happen if there was severe turbulence and someone was in the toilet at the time. :P :P :P....
            What do we think about flight food?... I enjoy the food on a flight... I actually do... at least 90% of the time... I especially love the snack (the wrap) provided close to decent on the Air Canada flight... Unfortunately the wrap is not sold retail!!! It is only sold wholesale and from the UK!!!
                When I take a flight, I prefer the window set... This allows me to enjoy the amazing view from around 40 000 feet up in the air and this avoids moving about for the individuals who wish to use the washrooms every 15 min. The pitfalls of this seat which I encountered this time is when the eager beavers seated next to me, wish to enjoy the same scenery... Fortunately I'm not selfish and I will share the window, but when it involves someone who clearly needs a breath mint... "EMMMERF."   Life at 40 000 or whatever feet is prettty awesome....
When morning comes...
                                                                             
                 Enjoying oneself on a flight is the most important thing and kudos to both airlines for a gr8 selection in movies!! The closest thing to the best feeling aboard an air craft is when you’re just about to doze off to sleep. THEN SUDDENLY you hear a baby crying!!!! I can't wait to have a family and take them on a flight... Each and every one of you must get to know that feeling!! :P
             Being frisked is the best part of flying... When they feel the need to even examine your zipper... "oh!! OHHHHH okie!!!!" now that's uncomfortable!!!!... But honestly a big thanks to the mates at the security counters for helping make flying SAFE, that is from the human factor. After a long wait to be frisked and felt up you need to RUN!!! to your connecting flight... especially when your transit is only 3 hours at that airport... What the travel agent doesn’t tell you is that the plane will land at 7am but it will only actually allow you to disembark when it gets to the terminal... so maybe even 15-30 minutes later... So short transits are risky, you may end up missing the flight... I checked in with only 2 minutes to spare... *sigh*
                              But when your back home and just enjoying your own sheets and pillows... "hmmmm" There's obviously no place like HOMEEEEEE....

The AuDition...


       A date is actually kind of like an audition, isn't it??? We often have an idea of what we are looking for, which is actually terribly unfortunate, cuz this idea we all have... is actually based on the people from our past relationships or for the first timers out there, a fairy tale or worse.. A MOVIE...  LoL These qualities we so desire are probably the best characteristics about them and well I'm sure if you think about it, they had worse attributes in comparison... These individuals, our exes... "The ones who shall not be named.." continue to inevitably shape the next superstar in our lives.. Despite the emotionally stunted and probable psychopaths in the world we just keep moving on... From one dodo to the other... With a virtual questionnaire in our hands, ticking off boxes in our heads and wishing for the next ideal person to come along...

            SOOO after consulting a number of friends, I started putting in to words the random date experiences we've been on... And an astonishing amount of information came to light... So keep reading and humour me for a few mins..

          And so it begins the 1st date that could be the last 1st date or the stepping stone to more awkward experiences... But life can be most "bitchy" when it wants to be... However when it starts to play jokes on you!!!! WOW!!! Give it a good old week or more and you could laugh about it for the rest of your life...You ultimately start divulging random pieces of information for absolutely no reason but to stir some curiosity in someones mind!!! What do we think... Hmmmmm... After considering all the factors...

One should probably avoid the following subjects!!! PERIOD!!!!
1.   Random traits about an EX!!!
2.   A rash you have been experiencing..!!???
3.  Weight?? and don't point out unique anatomical features... Duck butts and all....
4.  Don't talk about your ideal mate... Thats for your therapist!! :D
5.   "How much money do you make??"... MONEY???!!!! REALLY???
6.  Do not ask the number!!! The number of people you've dated...
7.  Do not ask if they have dated a particular person...
8.  Asking about your make up is not a good idea...
9.   "I only date Brown people, but your an exception..." LOL
10.  "What's up with your nails?"

Everyone's nervous on a first date but...
1..   "Do you know how to spell "Gonorrhoea" "
2.   "I think I'm falling for you already!!"
3..   DON'T start with corny nicknames!!! "Sweetheart, Darling, F%#$tard!!"
4.   I know what we could name our babies....!!!!!!!
5.   "I think I LOVE U!!!!!!!"
6.  We should try yoga together...
7. You could lose some weight...
8.  We should SKYPE later!!! LOL

Things to avoid doing!!!!
1.   Playing with your phone...
2. Checking out the server!!
3.  Yawning!!!!
4.  Don't consume the other persons face... THAT'S NOT KISSING!! Ohhhh I must blog about the awkward kisses I've heard, seen and experienced!! lol

   The Richter scale has no bearing what so ever on these types of intriguing factual topics of conversation but should they be measured I'd see a Tsunami coming... How would you respond to such atrocities?? STAND up and walk TALL unless you need a ride back home.. If you get past the 1st 30 min!!! CongratS!!! Either you've stood someone long enough to get the hell outta there or your actually having fun!!!

   At the end of the day, you should just be yourself... Everyone's different... Nobodies perfect... But everyone's HUMAN!!! So there's always hope that the right person will come along...

Hyper @ 4AM

   
          There's often little to do at 4 am in the morning... After reading 20 odd pages on Medical Obstetrics and completing a bunch of questions, you'd expect me to be quite sleepy... YES, I AM A NERD!!!! I do ask myself why sometimes, but I guess its a personality trait. Unfortunately I'm quite hyper and in dire need of some awesome music to rock to...  Been rocking to "Ai Se Eu Te Pego", "Blow Me One Last Kiss" and "Titanium" for the past few minutes... Ever feel like jumping around the room acting like a teenager high on pot... Been there!!!! Well music does that to me, ALL THE TIME!!!! Ultimately leading to the point where a family member taps on the door to ask me if I'm having a breakdown...
       
             Despite the ultra hyper resonance going around, in my room of course.. The only thing missing right now is a great abundance of rain fall like last night... What would you do if you felt like you could do anything!!!! RIGHT NOW????

1  Would you try bungee jumping off your roof?? Provided that it would be 100% safe, I would totally do it!!!
2  Would you jump around till you break a piece of furniture??? DONE Dat already :P :P
3  Would you Egg your EX??? Wish I could!! LoL
4  Would you try random dance moves from funky youtube video?? And now I have a cramp :P
5  Would you get completely muddy and wet in the rain?? Wish I did dat yesterday...

    Well I thought I'd bore you with one of my boring rantings for a change. Just came across the Coke Commercial for the London 2012 Olympics, I must say I love the beat!!!! Take a listen to the 4 min clip if you get a chance...Wellllllll I'm off to break more furniture :D ;) :)

GOOD NYTE PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Fortune Cookie goes DARK...


               My recent lack of a social life and a sudden increase in Chinese cuisine got me thinking about fortune cookies. My issue with the fortune cookies was that every single one of them was filled with a gooey, marshmallow-like message, spitting out rainbows and what not. Considering the fact that every single one I've had over the past year has provided me with hugs and kisses, is quite positively nauseating... Even my stupid phone app keeps farting out inspiration. .. AND YES! I have a fortune cookie phone app... GO ahead JUDGE me!! 
     
              1st of all, let me just say that there is absolutely nothing wrong with so much positive thinking in the world, all we need is more actually...In fact they lift my spirits up now and then when I'm in one of my moods... But to simply satisfy my curiosity, lets just imagine that I created a dark fortune cookie... WOULD YOU be willing to open one of those after a delicious meal in a rather dim lit ambiance?? Just a thought.. 
              
          Obviously they won't come true... They would most definitely have the same probability as a sweet fortune cookie.. "That sounded soo wrong..." They would be a little sassy and a tiny bit dark. 

     A pinch of pepper, maybe add a little bit of darkness in there and some ripened words of wisdom and what do you have? NOT your grandma... But a Dark Fortune Cookie capable of such untold potential. 

And sooooo my mind was rather impelled to come up with a few... cookie statements..??! Lemme try...


"When one door closes, Remember to lock the damn door..."

"Reading this fortune is not gonna help you, Try another..."

"Can't find a date?? Try the other gender"

"Today your life may change, for you and everybody else... Get in line.."

"Feeling a bit itchy??? Shame on you!!"

"Got a happy pill? You may need one!! After all your reading your fortune.."
     

 A little darkness can be fun but you need to keep an open mind and you must have a sense of humour. I read my daily cookie a while ago... It reads "A friend is a present you give yourself".. The funny thing is I keep having to return these gifts...

Well enjoy your weekend everyone!!!! May the Cookies be AWESOME!!!

THE EX...


     Everyones got one... Except for the very few who have been blessed enough to find the one on the first go... Well I wrote this for someone very special... Someone who felt the need to ask me, to find her recent lover and express to him... Her untold affections of timeless love... WHO DOES THAT???!!!! Who asks their ex to tell the person they are seeing that "they miss em!!"... Anywayz I wrote this a while back and I thought I might share this with everyone... Lemme knw what you think..




Sometimes goodbyes are not even worth it...
