Home Alone and Annoyed

Flatmate decides to go camping and I think it's a good time to catch up on some reading, movies, and spend quality time with myself. Only to realize that it would mean spending low quality time with flatmate's annoying friend. Not only did her unscheduled appearance surprised and annoyed me, it also helped me understand the importance of keeping the front door locked at all times so that uninvited guests don't just strut into my house.

"Hey petal, surprise, surprise !!..how been you. Pour me some wine and what's on starworld?"
"I'm sorry, is there a sign on my door saying, 'This way to the wine bar'? And there's master chef on starworld so don't put it on."
"Umm...grumpy as always you. Come sit here, what's bothering you? Is it that guy from work, or the other one not from work? Or is it that you've just gained a little weight recently?"
"What -- gained weight, NO I haven't gained any weight. You're beyond retarded and the last person I'd talk to about what's up with me. Just watch Starworld please"
"Well, calm down miss home alone. I had no idea C wasn't in town or I wouldn't have popped in"
"Yea, well you could use that fancy phone you carry around to call and check with her before you decided to show up and demand wine"
"Ooooo..someone's so unhappy to see me. I'm sorry, I'm maybe interrupting something or someone important that you may have to attend to so I'd take your leave now though take it easy chica"
"Bleh, bye"

Jesus, she just ruined my anyway not so perfect day. I think I'll just order some pizza now and watch the Telly.

What a Guy MUST Know : Part 1

Right, so WHAT on earth is the deal with boys these days? I understand we talk about women being equal to men, rather even better than those weird creatures but chivalry is still a "ball" that lies in the man's court. And I'd give an arm and a leg to drill this down their heads. There is no bigger put-off than a guy who'd tactfully ask you to dinner and then wait for you to pay. Seriously? Yes. He won't cough it up. Why does it piss me off you ask (yes you the guy reading this post)? So listen cowboy, if you've asked me out for dinner, you should treat. Or at least let me offer to chip in. Don't speak for me. Or my wallet. Don't pull out your credit card when the check comes, flash a cheesy smile and say you got this, but you'll let me pay for drinks at the next bar. You'll let me? Thanks for the permission officer. Who said I even want to go to another bar with you? Are you using this meal as collateral for a second part to our date? Are you lacking so much confidence that you think you need to guilt me into another act? If you can't afford to take a girl to dinner, be creative and do something cheaper. And if you just can't find a smoother segue into the second act of the night, then take a bow and head home. My bank account will applaud you.

That's chapter one for you. Go practice it.

Ladies, I'm sure you'll all agree :) Have a good week ahead !

Overrated Saturdays

Don't you think Saturdays are really overrated? I mean, there have been a few hundred songs written about saturday night already, maybe which is why Rebecca Black chose her song to be based on friday to break the monotony! Jesus, this song is really annoying though. Well, back to Saturdays, so what's the big deal about them? Everyone is so psyched and hyper making saturday night plans, not realising that there are four of those every month and well, do the math about the yearly numbers. So the logic behind getting sloshed at a bar every single friday and being psyched about it is beyond me.

I completely understand those of you who belong to the school of thought, work hard and party harder but then I just feel that making each saturday night all about making sure that you have a hungover Sunday is not really how life's supposed to be. Clearly, to each one his own. Personally, for me I'd rather spend Saturday evenings having dinner with friends, watch a movie, take a walk on the beach or write a blogpost like I'm currently doing! Haha...

Anyway, hope you all are having a lovely weekend with friends and family! Here's the music for the day :

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish

I'm sure everyone's heard that Steve Jobs passed away. Though I nevr had anything to do with him personally, I always followed his updates and his thinking helped me make some really big decisions in life. I'm not sure how many of you have read or watched the commencement speech he gave at Stanford Graduation in 2005, but here it is for those who've not read/watched it yet. You have missed out on something very important.

Steve Job's Speech at Stanford : Three Stories

Youtube Video : Stay Hungry. Stay foolish

RIP Steve jobs. You will be dearly missed. The world is suddenly poorer without you!

Sometimes...

Sometimes, it lasts in love, sometimes it hurts instead...

Nevermind.

Reacher or the Settler?

They say...oh well, in a particular american sitcom that every relationship has a reacher and a settler. One person is the reacher who reaches out to someone better than himself in the relationship while the other one is the settler who settles for someone lesser (?) than him. I've heard couples around me argue about this, both calling themselves settlers, obviously.

Do you think there is any such thing that exists. Aren't relationships supposed to be complimentary and are we all not supposed to have our bag full of faults and drawbacks and if yes, then it makes all of us a reacher as we all reach out to people who can compliment our drawbacks with their awesomeness.That's what brings awesome to the entire relationship, isn't it? Then why is it that I hear people say way too many times "Oh, I could have done better."? Is it just them and their sick need to not appreciate anything that they have? OR is there actually a reacher-settler balance that exists for real.

Just wondering. This post was inspired by the coffee that spilt on my dress today, well, because it was directed by this girlfriend yelling at her boyfriend and I seemed to have just come in the way at the right time to have it spilled on me. Drama I tell you ! And this is what she was saying. She was the settler, she said.

Music Saturdays if you may

The song plays in female voice as a background score in the movie "Life as we know it" . By the way, the movie is nothing what the title says. Two people die and leave their child on the shoulders on two adults who could kill each other at the drop of a hat. And these two people then try to raise the kid. The movie has too much poop which is not funny and someone tell me is that how life is as you know it ! Na-da ! Bleh. But you gotta love the soundtracks. Tell me did you like this one :) ?
