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.

In the Bloghouse

Pssssssssst I have a secret that I wanna share with you… I have been diagnosed with an illness called FIMS aka Foot In Mouth Syndrome. I’ve tried many times to get over this, with mind-over-matter techniques, herbal remedies and even self awareness classes online, but to no avail. Trying to soothe a friend who was dumped by some loser dude I listened to her rant and rave about his meanness for some time and then advised her with “forget him, there are many more fish in the sea.” Needless to say that was FIMS playing havoc again which nearly earned me a black eye! All she needed was some hand holding during this period and I advocated the “move on” mantra. Since this has proven time and again to be the bane of my existence, I have decided to do something and get this out of my system ASAP. The first step that I’m going to do is curb my enthusiasm about juicy news that I hear and refrain from spilling the beans to the person being gossiped about! Crappy feeling, but I have to tr...

Can You Chill Out with Your Mom? Can You Add Her To Your Facebook List of Friends?

Whoever said that you couldn’t be friends with your Mom is probably thinking old school mother. I am certainly no teenager, neither am I in my 20’s but getting closer to dotage (uh uh). Over the years, however, I noticed that my Mom was one of the coolest Mom’s in school, college, while I worked, in between relationships and when my marital cord snapped. Let me let on how cool she was and has been through the years. When I had my first crush – she was very disappointed, and rightly so, though at the time I was angry that my secret was out. Here was her youngest with a boyfriend, and in her teens! It was hard for her to digest this since none of the older siblings went down this road. When she found out, all hell broke loose, she screamed at me, stopped me from going out, but she also stood by me. The boyfriend went away as did the friends’ circle. She never left my side, and held me while I sobbed away because he was my one true love (at the time). Ah, the throes of the first dabble...

Narrow Path

When I look at your arms on the cross stretched wide Your eyes filled with love encouraging us to drop the divide But no matter which way we trudge You love everyone without even the slightest grudge. Temptations all around enticing us with its wares How do we ignore these pangs and stop its glares? Many ridicule us because of the road we follow Help us set an example and travel the path of straight and narrow.

Doctor Hungry

I have been the route meeting with so many quacks that I am fatigued at the way some doctors/specialists don’t think twice about ripping patients off. Having said that however, I would like to point out that there are so many earnest doctors who go the mile and are an honor to their profession. This post is not about the earnest doctors, but the rip offs. Sometime ago I sought the professional expertise of a renowned specialist who had an entourage to handle her every whim and fancy. I paid to consult her but was tossed aside to meet her intern! Being ill and hazy, I had no say in the matter but this left me extremely annoyed that I had to stiff up a large bill… for what? With irate friends, colleagues and relatives who have been shortchanged by a few quacks, I have penned a couple of lines below… Doctors, physicians, radiologists, new life healers, and others we have met Treat us with disdain and mere guinea pets A pill here, blood transfusion there and scans everywhere Set...

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...
