OVER-SIZED Woman's Brain: Slim People out there

Uncomfortable....




Today on my way home I sat next to an over-sized woman. From my point of view it was not a 'great' experience because I had to sit on one butt. We use buses which you board at a bus terminal depending on one's destination. So, I enter a bus and there are about five or six empty seats. One was near the entrance of the bus which many people would prefer but, the person that was sitting next to the window took up her seat and half of the attached seat. You could see that no one wanted to sit next to her. I then decided to sit next to her.

Many a times when I am in a situation thoughts always come to my mind. For example, there was this one time that I accidentally over sprayed a pretty strong perfume and I wasn't going to take a shower again. In the bus when the person who had be sitting next to me moved to the neighbouring seat, I immediately started thinking to myself, "Did he move because of me?" "Someone who has asthma must really be suffering right now?" "Should I have just showered?" "I will never repeat this mistake again."
I figured out that the over-sized woman might have been thinking to herself, "I know people don't want to sit next to me." "Do these know how hard I have tried to lose weight?" "Those girls are talking about me." "I might be forced to pay for two seats." "Maybe I just need to get my own car but can I afford it..." These thoughts are torture enough to make someone be depressed.
The reason to why I decided to sit next to her was because I imagined myself being that size and, everyone in the bus looking at me as if I had taken their plate of food from them. If I were in her shoes I would feel bad or at least that's the way I see it. But it could be different if she likes being that size. I try to be nice because I don't know her situation.
For all the slim people out there, it is my wish that we would show love to the over-sized and vice versa. As long you don't know their situation, let's try not to judge and put ourselves in the others shoes. When someone reaches out for help, do what you can. Above all lets strive to be healthy.

Remember How You Felt: TEMPERAMENTS

Does anyone ever have those times in life when you say to yourself to remember how something felt so that you don't make someone else feel that way? Yes, I just had one of those moments. I wish that people would get to know others better. By that I mean knowing their temperaments that way not offending them.
In life I have found out that one of the few ways to be at peace with others is by understanding them and knowing that people are different. What might offend A might not offend B depending on personality. Sometimes I feel like I spend a lot of time trying to understand people but people don't take time to understand me. I don't get upset when strangers offend me but when someone who knows me does I ask myself, "Why would you do that?" For me, sorry is a word that comes out of my mouth easily, I even say it when it's not my fault and when it's totally my fault I acknowledge and never repeat the mistake (This is actually one of my strength).
What is my point? I guess people will always offend you no matter what you do. Even when they know you don't like something, they still do it. But you can choose to be happy and learn from your experiences and how you felt so that you can be a better person. One thing I ask myself before I do something is, "Would I want someone to do the same for me?" If my answer is yes then I would do it and if my answer is no then I just don't do it.
Anyway, this is just me ranting about not treating others as one would like to be treated. Have you ever had those moments? And what was your reaction?
How did you or a friend handle the situation?

Boys Running away from Girls?!!!

I AM AFRAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this only happened in girls' world but apparently, boys practise it too! Have you ever been in a situation where a boy comes to where you are seated and gives out negative vibes. According to him he is trying to win you over but, you're not feeling him because of various reasons. This is what we call EMPTY VIBES. Then a friend just comes by and rescues you... and you're like, "Thank you for rescuing me..."One evening as I was preparing dinner, one of my cousin's friends came into the kitchen with such a rush and sat on the floor. I paid no mind because I was listening to my music. After a few minutes he told me to do him a favour and the favour was to tell some other girl that I was his girlfriend which I wasn't going to do. I don't lie, so I wasn't going to do it. You find that when you lie for the first time, you will have to come up with a second lie to cover up the first and then, the third and so forth.
Apparently, my cousin and his friends were trying to hook him up with some girl whom he did not want. I just told him to say the truth which was that he did not like the girl. I'm not the kind of person to do a follow up so I don't know how that story ended. But seriously, men running away from ladies... this is so 21st century where women are kind of 'desperate for men'. I wouldn't say desperate, let me just say that girls have become bolder than men. Don't you think so?! :) There are men who don't mind being asked out by ladies but others can't take it. Maybe I am wrong or right, then go ahead and give me your thoughts on this....

American vs British spelling and 'accent'

IS THIS WATER OR WATER...?



Spelling mistakes are just appalling but, what about spellings that are actually correct but are not recognised by others... Yesterday as I was reading through some comments in a blog +Fleur De Force, I noticed differences in the spelling of colour as I would spell it and others wrote color.
One of my friends at my school who is American always complains about my spellings. In a lecture room she would glance over my notes to get what she had missed and many a times she would be like, " That's not written like that!" Thanks to auto correcting tool she can do her assignments without worrying about spellings.
Just a while back we had an argument on how to pronounce the word water. She was the one who started it because I had said something like, "I need to have some water." (Of cause pronouncing the 't'). Then she was like, "Why do'you guys say wa't'er, it's wa'd'er!" I don't know whether they always pronounce 't' as 'd' or 'r'. So one of my friends who we were with at the time and I just wanted to provoke her so she could talk more coz we just love the accent. We were like, "Please spell that word first and pronounce it correctly because we can't see letter D there, it's a T."
At the end of the day we know what she means and how she pronounces words which is different from the way we do. She still remains to be our friend as much as we sometimes provoke her so that we can listen to her accent :) :) Have you ever been in an argument with someone because of pronunciation?

Don't touch my food


Please don't touch my food!

Is it just me or there are others like me with the same sentiments. "Please don't touch my food." If it's a mango, I can let you have a piece but, when it's food that is in my plate; please don't touch it. If you want to taste it or eat it, bring your own plate and I'll be more than happy to share.
By the way, one thing that my friends know me for is always sharing even when the food is little. I always say that the little that I have is what we will share... Some times my Mom and I argue about me not thinking of my stomach first LOL!
So, if you are one of those people who like eating from someone else's plate, it will not hurt to get your own plate and get your own food. Or if you want someone else' food in particular, don't reach out for it from their plate just ask them to put some in your own plate. It is just so annoying. A kid can be excused but has to be taught at an early stage though. Do you find this annoying?

Random



EVERYTHING IS JUST INTERESTING?
Do you ever wonder why some people are just so random? Maybe that's just the way they/we are. I find that being random makes the atmosphere around me lively. Blame it on my brain always wanting to look at things in different angels.
Being random can also be annoying especially when you are with someone who is not used to you. For example, we are in a restaurant eating and talking about food then all of a sudden I remember something funny that a lecturer said or something I saw, then in the middle of a conversation pop it out. If it's funny people will obviously laugh but I will have ended the previous conversation. I hate having to go back to what I was talking about and in most cases I forget. So I'm sure the person talking gets annoyed when someone says something random.
Ever since I realized this, I try to keep my mind in the conversation to avoid being random. What do you do to help with randomness? Do you have someone in your life who is random? It could be a friend, a kid...Everything is just interesting and needs to be talked about:) :)
