6 Weeks To Go

Here's my main meal for tonight...

That's a dozen grapes, 2 turkish delights and Lemonade/Bombay gin concoction.

Every morning, I start my day by reading the emails of those I know (and also do not know but as result of reading my blog they thought they already know me and they make me their new bestfriend).
But as I've been busy recently I only had the time to read my mails today.
One email I received was from my first cousin (Mary Jane) who's currently residing in Texas, USA.
The bullet points of her email:
  1. Kris, I read your blog everyday. (translation: You're my fave cousin and I'm stalking your life)
  2. I've read that you're coming to the US in 8 weeks time. (translation: dont forget my pasalubong/gifts from the UK, just in case)
  3. I miss you. I hope to see you. (translation: I'll pay for your airfare from Chicago to Texas so that you can visit me)
Cous, I hope I had interpreted your email correctly. ha, ha
________________________________________
Anyhow, I've been to Texas last 2005. Due to a storm, my flight from San Diego to Chicago was delayed, so I stayed in Texas Airport for almost 6 hours. That's the only Texas experience I ever had, so full of adventure.
_______________________________________
I just realized that everytime I fly, I always have an excess baggage. I paid nearly £30 from Amsterdam last time due to a heavy luggage.
In this very important realization, I'd like to start my own cause.
You can make your pledge or donations via my email ad.
The beneficiary would obviously be me (for my travels).
I am my own charity.
____________________________________________
At last I was able to go to the gym today. While my card was being scanned, I've heard the lady by the counter saying "YOU CAN BE A MODEL". Oh my, did I hear her correctly? Somebody who works in the Fitness Industry thought I can be a model! I think this is the 2nd time...
But I was wrong...
She was actually talking to the girl behind me. Yeah she was:
  • skinny
  • tall like a giraffe
  • tanned
  • tall like a giraffe
  • pretty
  • tall like a giraffe
  • young
  • tall like a giraffe
  • had long shiny hair
  • all skin and bones
  • had pouting lips like a giraffe
  • tall like a giraffe.
This made me think... What would she model?
  1. Hunger?
  2. Famine?
  3. Anorexia?
  4. the Zoo?
__________________________________________
While I was doing my arms and back, I was facing a girl who looked like Tracey Turnblad (a lead character in Hairspray), meaning "chunky". I was actually feeling sorry for her coz I thought the quickest way for her to look like that giraffe, er, model -potential girl is maybe via surgery/lipo suction. All of a sudden, a fit lad came to her and I thought he'll just ask her if she's finished with the machine.
I saw him whisper, she giggled, he whispered another secret, she giggled and snorted. I then was surprised that their lips met and kissed, obviously he was her boyfriend ( I dont know about their tongues).
My second realization for today.
At this era, I thought all people are like me... a bit shallow, a bit vain and a bit superficial.
It's good to know that there are still people out there who look beyond other people's skin.
Maybe inner beauty is real after all.

Hi.

Just like you, I always pay for excess baggage when traveling. Grrr....
:-)

I don't know why designers like skinny models. I don't wonder anymore why a whole lot of them are anorexic.

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment there.

All the best from Switzerland.
