I just received a fab email from a friend asking my opinion on this post that she stumbled across on CraigsList. Now, be sure to scroll down and read the initial post dated Oct 4.

Basically it’s a young woman ranting about how she wants to marry a wealthy man and wants to know the does and don’ts of how to do so (if there was such a guide line I think she woulda had a better chance asking ppl from this area of the world rather than NYC :P). She goes on to even state how much she wants to meet someone that makes a minimum of half a mill annually !(seriously ? is that the common criteria now for “what I’d like in a suitable life partner ?” what happened to “knight in shining Armor ?”) Oh, and she continues to state that half a million is being fair as that’s what’s regarded to be middle class in NY standards (rather than making her own money and having a life and a sense of responsibility). She doesn’t stop there.. no no.. she goes on to rave about her indescribable beauty and how “Plain Jane’s” have better luck than her in this arena, oh lets just call it shopping shall we !!
Wait ! wait ! The best part is the responses she got from suitable, rich, young and single men. But you have to read them on your own to get the laughs ;)

Now, although this has improved majorly during the past few decades.. yet this is a typical case of what we have here in our dear home country.. and at times I feel sad for these ladies as one of the guys in the responses put it.. the “gene pool” is all messed up coz you got “gold digging mummies”.. teaching their “gold digging daughters” the tricks of the trade. And even men are guilty here of looking for a marriage of convenience! After all, it does take too to tango.

Hey everyone is looking for someone, right ? Even though they may deny it completely.. we all don’t want to end up grumpy, old and lonely one day. I understand when girls out there (and even you boys do this !) are out and about trying to find Mr/s right.. but when it’s solely for superficial materialistic reasons.. then what happened to compatibility and life long connection ? What happened to Love ? Huft !! I know, I know, I can’t help being a romantic :)

Beauty.. in the eyes of the beholder ?

hmmm or in the hands of your best nip and tuck surgeon ?

Either way.. Beauty fades, yes.. Moneys can’t buy you happiness but it can buy you everything else.. including some brains.. a little intellect and sanity too.. so invest in yourself mentally, spiritually and do stay pretty.. it always helps to be easy on the eyes !

P.S.

Have a Shirley Temple and enjoy the sweet cherries.. May your lives be as sweet as a cherry.. Don’t forget.. if you can make a knot with the cherry stem by only using your tongue. Then you’re a…

I’m Home..

Had a Blast with my bro and great friends..

Weather was spectacular.. cool breeze day and night..

The whole Hotel staff managed to find out I was as sick as a puppy when I first checked in, to the extent that I got a call from the clinic asking about my health.. the second day I got a call from the Clinic checking on me again.. insisted on checking me out and providing meds.. and no i wasn’t even charged ! seriously amazing service..

Ok.. I’m so tired.. gonna go rest now..

How was your weekend my lovelies ?

p.s.

Header is a shot I took at the beach yesterday…

Couldn’t resist.. it’s such a holiday pic :P

… … 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,
