In a passionate moment of weakness…

It all started with me going on a diet (thanks to the relentless ragging by my friends).

According to the new plan, I decided not to buy any junk especially of the chocolate variety. Basic logic- if I don’t have any junk I can’t hog! Simple, ain’t it! Well as it turned out it had a small flaw.

I had laid off chocolate for a really unhealthy period of time when suddenly this one Saturday I had an enormous craving for chocolate. I can afford it, once in a while, I reasoned and decided to get some Bloomsbury’s bearable chocolate on my way back home and walked all the way to compensate for it. This being life and life never being perfect I was delayed and got near Sainsbury’s at around 7.45pm. A wee problem with otherwise perfect Edinburgh is that all the bloody shops close at 8pm on week ends. So I knew by the time I got there; it would be closed up for good.

No issues I thought, I’ll go to the Avenue store about 8 blocks away from Sainsbury’s. So I walked away to avenue store and about a block away from the store I started rummaging in my purse for my card to draw out some money. That’s when I realized I had all the freaking cards with me (Id card, Uni card, NI card, Nectar card….) except my debit and credit cards!! Turned on the spot and walked all the way home; got the card and pretty much ran all the way back to store. Finally when I got there, it was closed!! (I have a sneaky suspicion that the world is conspiring against me!)

Instead of giving up like the ‘signs’ were telling me to, I walked further down to an Indian shop. I avoid that place generally as the guy there has over priced everything in the shop. After all that walk I was soo desperate for chocolates that I ended up buying a whole tiramisu and cheese cake. Now I’m sitting here having finished both in one go and repeating my mantra ‘find cake, eat cake, repeat and repent’.

Somebody just shoot me!

(btw I have a sneaky feeling this isn’t exactly what you were expecting to read when you began reading...)

Top 10 reasons why my life is pathetic-

10. Noah Wyle is still happily married to his wife and hasn't come running behind me realizing his true love for me; neither has any one from Westlife

9. To quote "Is it like I have a beacon that only dogs and men with severe emotional problems can hear? "

8. All my friends think in Intellectually handicapped and the few who did not think so seem to have disappeared form the face of earth!

7. I cant find my diary!!!!! I so hope it hasn't gotten into any wrong hands!

6. I sat home an entire week end without even going out for shopping!

5. Desperately wana party but no job and hence completely broke and hence don't see any party in the near future

4. Been watching about 3 movies a day- proof of how socially challenged I've become

3. Its been officially declared that I'm emotionally handicapped

2. My tooth hurts soo bad that I could really go punch some one into pulp which apparently only guys are allowed to since ladies are supposed to be nothing but ornamental


and the number one reason?

1. I've gained back all the weight I had lost and looks like my progress into the horizontal territory is going to go on for a while!

Hmm... makes me wonder if Bridget Jones died and I some how ended up with her destiny. Aw! who am I kidding! I've always been the Bridget Jones of my world!

I’m in Love…. Again!

Oh yeah I am soo in love! The world has turned wonderful again! The skies are blue and fields are green, and I am Flying Without Wings. My Love is coming here!!!! And the feeling is just Amazing. I have been soo excited since I heard the news! There is going to be Seasons in the Sun again.

My first and last love, someone I have been in love with Against All Odds and I plan to create a World of Our Own the Moment my love gets here!

Wondering who my love is? Wondering who Colours My World ?
Who puts a Smile on my face and think about When I Fall in Love? Who makes me fly On the Wings of Love when I am All out of Love ?

Isn’t it Obvious? Its WESTLIFE!!!!!!!
Yeah they are coming here! Even though there is No Place That Far and Love Can Build a Bridge there is nothing more exciting than having them come Home!
They are the absolute best ever!!!
I Have a Dream now. I want to go to their concert! I don’t want to miss the chance. What if they finally notice me this time and fall in love with me at the first sight and serenade me to When You're Looking Like That ?

After all Dreams Come True, you know!

Where did all the money go???!!!

Do you know how UK makes money? I’ll tell you how! The 2 basic things they do are
1. Make junk food more cheaper than fruits and other healthy snacks by a great margin
2. Put skinny looking girls in the TV making girls wanting to be like them, and boys assuming all girls are like that! (Imagine Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Eva Longoria, Ashley Tisdel and the like- stop drooling over your keyboards guys!)
Now, if you want to eat cookies, cheese cakes, ice creams or gateau (again stop drooling!!!) AND look like those anorexic super human females in the TV, then the inevitable path is working out. If you want to work out, you need to join the gym- there goes your first few pounds.

If you want to work out u need a track suit and there goes the next few, well not few, a lot I’d say. Have you ever seen a female go to a store to get a track suit and stop there? Well, you can’t help buying that beautiful white top that is one size small, you rationalise you’ll fit into it after all the work out! And those sleek black trousers to go with the top.

Next stop shoe store. You can’t help being mesmerised by those super cool designer shoes on discount when getting your work out shoes. What the heck! I have already spent so much, a few more pounds won’t make any difference, and anyways I’ll need some thing to flaunt my great legs in after all the exercise!

So even though you believe you are saving money buy the cheaper option i.e. junk food, well this is what happens! (mom, dad if you are reading this, this is a hypothetical scenario, not in any way related to me!)

LOVE CHANGES YOUR LIFE….in more ways than you can imagine!

It all started with my friend and neighbour falling in love with this guy who stays in Kings Buildings (KB), which is about 2.5kms away from our place Blackwood Crescent (BC). After the 1st one month of staying over at each others place alternatively, they began fighting over how they never get to be in their actual homes, so my dear darling friend decided to move into KB with him. Now, my life changed cause,

1. I am an indecisive, dependent imbecile who cannot say no
2. Most of my friends are in KB

So after one week on standing my own ground, now I write this post from my new room in KB.
From my BC bedroom window I could see 3 beautiful gardens, one with a beautiful large tree, people and children playing in the garden, reading, barbequing… but what the heck!! now I see a three floored car park from my KB window, talk about progress!

I used to get hot water in my BC bath 24/7, now I have to boost the heater and wait for 90 minutes before I can take hot shower! But wait, I got a tub here instead of a plain shower like in BC, oooh I am so happy…NOT!

My kitchen at BC was immaculately clean. Every singe day; even after my flat mates’ beer parties. But I need not miss that cuz my kitchen in KB is larger got a separate dinning room and sitting which I cant use as my new flat mates are, to use a euphemism, dirty pigs and leave the whole place stinking dirty. I saw a pot in the sink yesterday night which had fungi growing out of it!! Silver lining? My new flat mates are quite sweet girls who don’t host beer parties every Friday. Am I lucky or what!

I could not play music too loud in BC as my flat mates did not like being disturbed when they were studying, but now I can play music as loud as I want as it is always drowned by music from other rooms.

My work place used to be less than 100 steps from BC (yes I counted), now I have to walk 2.7 kms to work place every morning and evening. Good thing? I don’t have to go to the gym I joined for 10 pounds!

So I am sitting here right now, waiting for my water to get heated up, trying to find courage to enter the kitchen n cook something before that fungi takes over that stink!
