DOWN AND OUT

When I get down and out, wallowing in my own sorrows; there always seem to be constant reminders that I should stop being a whiny self-absorbing bitch.

It is amazing that I could be so oblivious to the fact that some of my friends most probably need that loving care, concern and a change of luck much more than me. And I could never imagine myself trading places with them.

As I start counting my blessings, I realized how much had been taken for granted and so little has been given to others. It is a shame that for the vastness of this world, my problems seemed to be larger than life. For the infinite possibilities that the world provides, I am confined within my own boundaries.

Suddenly the notion of the princess mulling and sulking over career and love (while people I know are battling to find a decent living, fear of losing loved ones and some, even their own) is so non-consequential.

With perspectives firmly put in place, the world just seems to be so much bigger now than my problems could ever fill.

LUCK

So I finally went ahead and bought my biggest purchase of lottery tickets ever on an early Saturday morning - against all advice from my friendly fortune teller that I do not have the windfall luck.

I am a gal who has to work hard for her money, she told me.

My whole life crumbled right before my eyes and I wasn’t gonna stand helplessly doing nothing.

Immediately, I ask: “Can a husband help then?”

She smiled and said ……… “Maybe, you can help him”

Well, she should tell that to my future husband instead (whomever, wherever). Clearly, she is not listening to her client’s needs.

I politely ask again: “So my husband wont be rich or make me rich?”

“It depends” said the wise one conveniently

Since we learned in schools that life has so many dependent variables, I decided that the only independent variable I should invest in is pure luck.

And, who knows, if I strike, maybe I truly can be of help to my future husband.

Now, i can only pray!

Treadmill Delight

When you are running on a treadmill at 12km/hr, keeping your graceful pace and at the same time, subtly flirting successfully with the cutie three treadmills away, you know you are near enlightenment.

The sheer excitement of burning calories while you flirt shamelessly is exhilarating. What’s more, you learn how to keep your hair perfectly in place, maintain that sexy smile even as you bop and huff and puff at the speed of light.

Cute face, nice smile and a great bod are always a welcome surprise by the princess of speed to distract one from the fatigue of running.

And I would also think, he most probably has a great personality, a healthy dose of fart humor and a loving heart from the way he runs.

In the world of multi-tasking, this has got to be the best - Man hunting at lighting speed!!!! I feel like “Cheetarah” on the prowl…….

And when the treadmill stops, the real chasing begins.

So I guess, in the exciting life of the supermodel princess, nothing really stands still even for a single moment.

Swept Away

Why is it getting more and more difficult to be totally swept away these days?

I remember a time where a simple gesture was enough to sweep me off my feet and into the arms of eternal romance. A time where love was grand and ditsy. A time when love is all about sparks and tingles…… nothing else.

But not these recent years……

This is a time of love with practicality and a little dash of precautionary measures. Will this love last? Is it a compatible match? Does it bring good sex? What is the future?

It seems like, as we age, we find a need for alot more safety nets. And a need for love to be the answer for everything that does gone wrong.

But love is not and never was. It is exactly the opposite.

Love is about throwing caution to the wind, about risks and sacrifices. It is the impetus for doing something silly, something funny and something irrelevant, getting hurt and enjoying every moment of it.

And yes, Love can be wrong and brings you to tears too, simply because love is love.

When we bring love down to earth, ironically, we’ve lost it.

So while age will rob away my youth, I refuse to let it take away the love from me, the child in me and lightness of my heart.

I will be swept away once more.

Model Questionaire

Do you know that: -

1. In every corner of the world, even as we speak, there is at least one supermodel/princess using bottled mineral/drinking water right now to rinse her hair after wash; keeping it all-so ever luscious and in heavenly condition; and

2. When is late considered late, according to the world of Supermodels. And what constitutes a late grand entrance?

If you DO NOT know all this, THEN you most probably aren’t part of the elite beauties across the world, the world of models and the beautiful princesses….


Well, if you must insist coming into my world, then you definitely must read this hilarious and supremely modelicious book!
