TRIP

Seriously ?
Yeah not kidding !
Actually I’m not off on another trip I just got back from another trip :P
I didn’t have the face to post before traveling.. as well as time issues !

I went to Qatar, for a wedding.. had a blast.. stayed at the Four Seasons.. and came back with the flu !
I’m typing this while tucked under a cozy blanky at my sisters house.. didn’t feel like staying home alone seeming my folks are outta town.. I hate this sick feeling ! I can’t smell, taste, and my nose is so red and sore !

Anyways, I am officially jinxed !
Remember when I was an active poster ? well now I’m lucky if I get something down once every month or two ! Huft !

I’m a busy gal ok ! but I miss this place.. I really really do…

TIP

Being the patient person that I am, the only thing I can’t tolerate is rudeness.. lately I realised I have a very limited tolerance for STUPID ppl too.. I used to pity them before for their ignorance.. but lately I really don’t have the time for it.. silly buggers !

I can’t handle cold hearted, emotionless ppl who take forever to express themselves even though they don’t mean to come across in such a manner but they end up doing so as a habit and when they do finally make an effort they expect some gratitude for it.. I say go shove a sock in it for Pete’s sake either do it with a good will or bloody well keep it to yourself !

How many chances do you give a person to prove themselves ? 1 ? 2 ? a week of patience ? 2 ? a month ?

I say twice, 3 times is enough.. otherwise why waste time waiting for something worthy when it’s just not in them !

CLIP

Being sick and in bed all day.. the best way to kill time is obviously watch an Indian flick..

enjoy this clip from Jodhaa Akbar:

Funny.. only a few days ago I was wearing a Sari for a Henna Night prior to the wedding I attended.. and I was thinking to myself I haven’t seen an Indian movie in ages.. strange how things fall into place without planning right ?

Whatever !!! I know the clip is mushy and all lovey dovey… just deal with it ok.. my estrogen levels are high !!!

(Pooj… I miss you)

… … perfect.

A couple of weeks back, I was having a discussion with a friend about how no one is perfect and that peoples imperfections are what make them perfect.. I was taken aback when he said “you are perfect”.. obviously I replied instantly with the overly used common “no one is perfect”.. then that’s when he said, “but to me, you are perfect”..

It wasn’t the fact that he flattered me to bits with those words.. I wasn’t surprised per se coz he thought of me so highly, I’m not that confident but I do embrace my imperfections and make them the best of me.. it was the fact that he used those exact words. I had heard them before and always felt flattered, but this time it was different. This time I instantly smiled and thought of the scene from Love Actually. My Favorite part of the movie that I love actually:

Now the reason why I thought of this Movie when I heard those words was simply coz only a few days before that incident I had another Love Actually encounter that I must say is one of the sweetest things ever. I was at a friends house at a gathering with the girls. I met my friends younger brother and was stunned at how much he resembled my own brother. Anyways, there was a lot of picture taking and videos shot of the lovely evening. The next day I met up with my friend and she showed me a small clip of the video her brother was supposedly taking of “us”. She told me that she thinks her little brother has a crush on me and when watching the video I would notice that he had focused on keeping the camera on me the whole time. I was so flattered, so cute really. And that’s when I recalled this scene from Love Actually.

Don’t you just love it when life reflects art ?

I’m sure many of you have related to shows and movies before.. I can list so many.. but this one was cute, and it happened all in the same time frame which made it ever so special..

Love actually,

D

   Friend or Fo.. Forgive or Forget.. Fa fa fa - fa - fa - fa faaaaaaaa !

Blaaaaaah !

There are those that forget my birthday, Eid, and certain occasions every year for the past 10 years… but always call and make an effort about other things…

Even if I know they forget silly occasions along the years I learnt to accept that friends aren’t about popping up on occasions..

But they’ll always be there for me in hard times, love me unconditionally, take my crap when I throw it in their face and accept me for who I am.. appreciating that I cut them some slack too.

Then

There are those.. that are master minds in the art of selfishness.. it’s always about them.

“why didn’t you call ME?”

“why don’t you care about ME!”

“are you gonna talk over ME?”

“why do you treat ME this and that way”

My life does not rotate around yours, so it’s not all about you and frankly you need to start seeing it that way.

Now, a friend was telling me the other day that “we’ve all lived a fair share of unexpected and unwanted drama in our lives.. but why should we accept it if someone else is adding more of that unwanted drama into our lives.”

So, while you’re off being a workaholic, busy working your butt off, making time to socialize with new ppl, and attending family events.. put everything in pause for a minute and then take a step back and look at the big picture.

All your other friends aren’t making a big deal.. they’re not possessive.. they’re not rude coz you have a busy lifestyle and they support you through all your endeavours.

So when you get a few loaded statements on the phone or via sms from someone that has wronged you stating:

“ishda3wa no hi, or how are you for so long”

then you should think: “speak for yourself.. you’ve had my number all this time too and you never asked about me either”. Instead, a simple “hi I miss you” woulda gotten a phone call from me.. but if you’re giving me attitude from the start then sorry I’m not taking it anymore.

Better yet, if I’m the one that always calls, smses and makes an effort to stay in-touch but I get loaded statements like “you make time for others, you’re always saying you’re busy but you’re out with so and so” then try make an effort yourself rather than sulking, call me for a change, say lets do something, and we’ll work on it from there.

However, when you shut the phone, rudely, while I am talking in utter respect to you.. then No.. don’t bother calling me ever again.. (unless you wanna apologize.. coz I do have a tub of mush for a heart and I forgive easily)

What’s worse is that I actually care.. so much.. so much that it bothers me.. wanted to call back many times, or say hello when I see you.. and the negative energy is suffocating me.. like I have bad Karma all around me.. I forgive you all for you’re simply human errs.. but I won’t tolerate anymore rudeness or negativity.. think positive.. be happy.. and smile :)

(talk about venting ha?)

anyways no one said it better than Lauren from the Catherine Tate Show:
