Dr. Horror and other spiel

Spoke with a reader earlier today who enquired about my blog saying that she was waiting for some spiel from moi! Boy was I thrilled. Nice when this happens isn’t it especially when you are appreciated for your spill of thoughts.

This week has been a near miss for a friend of mine who met with an eye specialist - doctor horror really. Indicated that the poor thing had cataract and needed to be operated on for both the eyes and after a second and third opinion by other professionals that there was no trace whatsoever. Con artist or what?

The water situation (yeah the same old stuff again), is as usual a darn nuisance. The people in power just cannot seem to understand the need of the hour for the citizens. They sprout their usual promises prior to the vote and once they secure their seat, well they are flush! We of course, trudge the mile and ink our fingers with the hope that the new un’s will provide us with proper facilities. Blind faith! Frankly when I went over and voted this time around, I was rather hopeful that the new dude would do something, but I’m saddened to say that nah he too just ain’t doing the job. Sucks!

Heard from the grapevine (and so many here) that an old friend was in a soup because of a mismatch in his alliance! The astrological chart was not in the right planet I guess…poor bloke. Married some hot shot chick and realized that she was just that, hot and not worth the shot (no pun intended here my lovelies). All in all, they have succumbed to the divorce weapon. You think that a relationship will work out and then bang before you know it, kaput! The lawyers though are enjoying their fun in the sun cashing their cheques and dancing their way to the banks. Perhaps I need to consider changing my profession? The bank would be happy here, the size zero is bugging the manager!

To another sad story… Sandy was a dog that had the cutest face really. Frankly I’m not much of a dog lover and all that, but this one really got me. She was a neighbor’s dog, but couldn’t stay put; she was always jumping the fence to get out and make friends with both species: human and dog! So much so, that all of us in the neighborhood took it on ourselves to feed her. In such a cruel twist of fate, we heard a while ago that a monster drove over her and she passed away. Thanks Sandy for being there for all of us, looking after us and being the perfect pet. There are many of your friends who are trying to fill into your shoes but not a patch on you!

Mango season… Wow this fruit brings a smile on everyone’s face and some boils too. With the many varieties around the corner all one can do us succumb to the pleasures of this beautiful fruit. Yeah it does give us the runs and all that, but frankly whose complaining. A great weight gainer too, but then again, whose complaining. We gorge, grib about the weight gain, and hog more. I haven’t really met anyone who hasn’t succumbed to this beautiful, yummy fruit. If you haven’t, believe me, you are missing something. Go out there and try it if you can, and believe me, chocolate for a while may just take a beating. Sex too! Ha ha ha. Kidding!

Ok am kinda on a dry spell here, so will call it quits for now. See you soon my lovelies. Same page same blog sometime soon. Or if you want a change, check out the cookery one – http://yaschusrecipes.wordpress.com and try some recipes that I have shared there. Comment on this as well if you want.

Water Woe

Here’s a problem about the water scene that’s plaguing our city with the authorities taking a lackadaisical attitude about our woeful situation. Guess privatization of this inactive force needs to be the hour of the day. What say? The heat at this time of the year in Feb is rather pinching and I really wonder what it’s gonna be like in the coming months. Here’s hoping that some rain will give us a breather and in consequence fill the reservoirs and enable the water man to actually attend to our ardent need. Moving on from the tale of gloom, with the onset of summer it’s time for the sleek and svelte to don the most happening items in vogue and show off their splendid bods. To the rest of us metabolically slow, we trudge the path of heat with the longing that this brand of ‘exercise’ (or lack of it) would shed the unwanted girth! Anyways, it’s a good time I guess both ways, coz everyone maybe a winner because..........the heat is on! ....... but not the ones with lack of water...

Happy Birthday Mama Mary

I sit here thumping away on the keyboard wondering about what to write and it dawns on me…… Many years ago when I was a young girl I was approached by a lady in Church to play the role of Mother Mary. She wanted to put up this enactment about the apparition of Mary to a group of children. I did not know who the person was and was surprised - my first thought was to decline as I was extremely shy. However, she did not pressurize me and instead asked me to think about it and after doing so and sharing it with the folks, I accepted the role. This play went on for about fifteen minutes but they were the best moments of my life. Many years have gone by…but this wonderful memory remains with me always. However, I feel sad at the number of people who do not acknowledge Our Lady. Jesus said “Son this is your mother and mother this is your son” and thus we embrace Mary as our blessed mother. She, as any mother, helps us with our problems, intercedes on our behalf and in return we than...

Cheating

Why do people throw good relationships for a quick roll in the hay? This practice seems to be growing and practically every second person in a committed relationship doesn’t think twice about two timing his/her partner. However, when they are “found out” these individuals don’t think twice about promising the moon and once forgiven you can be pretty sure that they are gonna do (sic) the deed again and again. I think that once they go the entire hog, they just aren’t gonna curb their enthusiasm! Cheaters know their partners will relent no matter what. They preen themselves with having “won”! However, if a person cheats on me, I would tell the jerk to beat it. Rather be single, keep your dignity intact than stick with some douche bag. Not my cuppa … What about you my lovelies?

Beginning of the End?

A short story here... Just read and let me know what you think? I haven't concluded the story just going with the flow. The erratic nature of the power supply left the entire city in the lurch and this seemed to be a frequent occurrence. In spite of pleadings to curb global warming people paid no heed to the warnings and this brought about the swarm …. The beginning was when the entire country was wiped out in darkness and stampedes all over going on well into the night. Headlights of passing vehicles were the only source of light as generators were giving way because of the scarcity of fuel available. Every living being was being held hostage because of the “no power and no water” adage. No rainfall = less electricity = no water = no produce = malnutrition. The crops were in a mess, pets were getting crazed, and livestock was dropping dead by the minute. Drought was at an all time high. Neighboring countries pitched in, but this deluge was gaining momentum across cou...

The Price of Public Humiliation

Two-Faced You know there are people who claim to be pals just to look cool. I had this conversation with a close friend who couldn’t understand why a couple of her Facebook friends ignored her in person. After our chat, it finally dawned on her that the so called friends just wanted a long list to appear hip. She updated her status and vented her frustration. An amusing story here - the same people who ignored her added their two bits about public humiliation and gave it the thumbs down signal. Weird don't you think? Plastic Smiles How would you like it if relatives followed the same principle? In public spaces they turn away pretending they do not know you leaving you dumbfounded. Here is something that happened to a couple of friends. They received invitations for a wedding where everyone attended the blessed event. To cut a long story short, my friends and their families were ignored and treated like social pariahs by closest members of the family! When they came face-to-f...
