I think policemen in rain coats are pretty hot. Not the black ones, the
khaki ones that assentuate the figure.Well, don't look at me like that. I'm
just a teeny bit weird I guess.
To make myself clearer, personally I'm not a huge fan of the police. Can't stand the lot in fact. But this.....is a random thing that just struck me the other day. Oh well...........
What's the deal with bra straps? Someone, the ladies that is, sees your bra strap poking out from under your garment and that's the end of the world for them. They hastily walk up to you and then they either discreetly slip their hands on to your shoulders and tuck the bra strap under the cloths or they whisper urgently in your ear that your bra strap is showing. I mean, everybody knows you wear one. So whats the big deal that the strap becomes visible every once in a while? Its not something you're ashamed of, is it? I sure ain't.
Another thing I've figured out of late is, how very rare it is to find common sense in a person these days. To strike up a sensible coversation and to keep it going has become a challenge whereas with some people, you don't really know what to talk about. Whether people have become dumber or I have become more impatient I really don't know. For example, a conversation I reluctantly participated in the other day - a woman is baffled by the fact that when making tea, I add the sugar into the jug prior to adding the milk powder. Her response is that her mother told her to do the same but she had dismissed it as an "old belief". The simple logic behind it being that the sugar keeps the milk powder from sticking on to the side of the jug, I tried to explain to her at which she and her friends were amazed. "We've never really thought of it that way" they said. It was my turn to stare after them in disbelief.
I've also had to point out very obvious things, things that anyone with a tiny bit of common sense could figure out to people, educated people at that, with Masters degrees in Literature, Philosophy, this that and everything. Makes you wonder about the tedious process called "education" that people go through so vigorously, investing pretty much the best time of their youth on its entirety on it. Does it really serve its purpose? Do these "certificates" really mean anything if the individuals are not capable of thinking by themselves and making the simplest decisions? Now let's not go hammering the poor local governement about the inefficiency of the eduation system too now. I'm talking about foreign educated people too, in the supposedly advanced Western countries at that.
If I was hiring, I'd hire people depending on their common sense, not the amount of paper and certificates that they would unleash before me. And the attitude. One must always be willing to learn, not imagine themselves to be the ultimate connoiseurs of everything and snub out all other opinions and ideas.
Denims are so comfy. They are so convenient, stylish and very chic that I can't figure out for the life of me why anybody would want to wear any other type of jeans except for denims. And I just don't get the no-no for denims in the category for office attire. I say if you can carry it off, present yourself as official, neat and dignified, it doesn't really matter what material your jeans are made of. Denims, in my opinion are the most versatile of all cloths. It doubles as smart and chic while it can also downplay your appearence as casual as well. All depends on accessorizing. And of course, the right combination of attire makes all the difference.
Ok I finally admit, my room is FILTHY. Its so filthy that even I admit that its filthy. But I have neither the desire nor the motivation to clean it. At this time and age, its high time that they introduced self organizing wardrobes. Would make life a whole lot easier if only they would.
Life plummets forward at breakneck speed and I'm not sure if I like it very much. Weekend is almost done and it was as if it never came. There is no time for relaxation, no time for creation. Life has become drab, of monotonous routine, all the things we do seemingly futile. The only thing that seems to make sense is creation, creation of something good, something wholesome. But by the time we are done with the regular banalities of life, the routine regularities that you need to follow just to sustain yourself, there really isn't time for that.
Something must be done about this. It's a crime to let our lives pass in the blissful oblivion of routine futility. But what, I haven't figured out just yet.

In life it's always better to expect the worse from People. Tea making- actually, add sugar after tea is made- you can just add very little compared to what you would be adding with milk powder.
That being said much easier to mix with sugar in it.
Yes, I sprinkle the sugar over the inside of the jug before adding the milk powder. Then I add the powder and mix them thoroughly together before adding the tea. Otherwise the milk powder that sticks to the sides tend to leave gluggy clumps in the tea not having disolved properly which is rather unpleasant. Adding sugar before prevents the powder from sticking to the sides while mixing them together before adding the tea helps the milk powder to disolve easily without getting amassed into great big lumps. Plus, its the quicker way!
Yes thats the obvious thing to do but I think it tastes better with liquid milk and fresh milk more than UHT treated.
Oh I agree wholeheartedly. That's how I make tea at home actually.
Hahaha! I think I remember who/what you're referring to, re: no common sense and willingness to learn for foreign-"educated" folks. .:)
It's so interesting (not to mention humbling!) to see how others have perceived oneself, particularly when it's an unflattering impression, yet one that is spot on and right on target. Whammo! Bulls eye.
It's also always an intriguing process of learning and self-discovery when one's ego and sense of self is tested! It's always tempting to wallow in victimization, but then there's such a beautiful opportunity for growth and making peace with all aspects of one's soul, even the flaws!
Thank you for a hefty helping of humble pie. :) Good with a helping of Jagro strawberries on the side and maybe some ritzbury pebbles? Eh? ;)
