its been some time...

...since i've found enough inspiration to write. 

What happened?? I guess everything thing else took importance and at the end of the day I was too tired to pen my thoughts. 

Have I now found my sought after inspiration? Not really but I realised that its nice to just purge out the random manged thoughts in my head. I basically needed an avenue. Here. Perfect.

my word

Apparently every city has a word. A word as in another name that the city is called/described with. Nope, not another concept I conjured up with... Was watching "Eat Pray Love" and this was something discussed in the movie (also the book).

On a separate note, I tried reading the book but I felt it was such a drag. I dragged myself through Italy and once she landed in India, I quit! I know this book by Elizabeth Gilbert was highly praised to say the least but it just wasn't my cup of tea. I think the story was truly remarkable, but the style of writing was very long-winded. By the time she got to the end of describing something, I forget what the something is in the first place! Of course, this is only my opinion of the book and I know many others have enjoyed it thoroughly.

So I opted for the movie and there was this scene where she would be asked, "What's your word?" And I've been pondering since last nite... So what is MY Word? Do I have a Word???

could Greg Behrendt be right?

that he is just not that into you?

I actually bought this book a couple of years back. But someone borrowed it and never gave me back. I tried asking them a couple of times, but to no avail... And now I am not interested to ask or get the book back from this person. So I went out and bought a new one. (I've also learned the lesson of not letting anyone have my books anymore!) An expanded version nonetheless

What I like most about this book is the honest, no-nonsense approach. Sometimes, I find it a bit harsh but in retrospect, it does seem to make sense. Its especially handy when we start making excuses for certain apparently "unexplainable" behaviour of the opposite sex. Its all explainable! Its us who sometimes are in such denial when faced with the object of our affection/love/lust! 

So yes, I've stop making excuses, stopped analysing what I could have done wrong and tell myself, "He is just not that into me!" Its nothing personal.

psst... i have a secret...

I am gonna be Aunty Jo again!!

Totally unexpected and pleasantly surprised!

*Yippity Yeay!*

Joshini John wants company...

... in a form of a four-legged furry creature!

I want a doggy!

Since leaving my aunt's place in Klang, I have been missing Natalie quite dearly. Natalie is my aunt's 4 year old Yorkshire Terrier who is an absolute darling! I had grown quite close to her and my routine use to include cuddling up with her on the couch.

Couple of weekends back I went over and there she was, the ever adorable bitch bouncing on her back two feet! I was so tempted to smuggle her out of the house in my bag. I knew those big handbags I carry must come in handy sometime! My conscience got the better of me (or it could be the potential lawsuit) and I didn't think it was the wisest think to do.

So I've decided to get myself one. Was thinking about a Jack Russell or a Silky/Yorkshire Terrier... So if anyone knows some puppies out there who needs a loving home, let me know! =)

a quandarry

I have about 3 or 4 entries on my Journey to Not-Buying-Shoes-for-a-Year.

I came about this silly vow to myself when I realised that I had 23 pairs of shoes and still feel I have not had enough. I started questioning - how many is enough?

However, as of my last entry, I could sense the frustration among my friends growing. Dena is short of saying. "Go and buy yourself a damn shoe already!" Its true, even my frustration is growing! Especially after my Ipanema gave way.

So why am I still holding on to a promise I made myself, when I am itching away to just go and get 'em? Simply because its a promise. Unlike popular culture, I do not believe that promises are made to be broken... Bullshit! Promises are your words/intention to someone, anyone, even if its just you. And a man (or woman) is only as good as her words...

So yes, I will keep holding on! And everytime I feel an itch... I will revisit this entry! =P

i could not help it

I tried not thinking about my shoes... But another 2 just gave way... And one of it is my fantabulously favourite one =(

So here goes, my list:

1) Black Work Shoes
2) Brown Work Shoes
3) Purple Strappy Heels
4) Black Strappy Heels
5) Brown Strappy Heels
6) Green Strappy Heels
7) White & Red Sneakers
8) White & Blue Sneakers
9) Bronze Work Shoes
10) Black Sandals
11) White & Black Sandals
12) Knee High Boots
13) Batik Slippers
14) Pyramid Slippers
15) Purple Slippers

Now I am really sad that my Ipanema gave way! Its June now and I have another 2 months to go before I can buy my next pair!

I lost 8 pairs in this journey so far. I am already beginning to feel the itch! I need a gold, white and silver pair each!
