Sometimes it is always better that a dreadful issue in my life or a not-as-tragic-as-it-sounds-out-loud-than-in-my-head kinda issue, falls under my "by choice" than "by fate" category. However, the fact is sometimes it makes me feel much better that I tried my very best but it didn't work out the way I hoped it would simply because it was out of my hands. A twist of fate. Like all the other species on the planet evolving to adapt, I accept what fate brought my way.

A little less than perfect.

If 'amazing' means struggle-free, sparkflying romantic perfection, I'm afraid they are seeking something that is not possible. But if it means honest, evolving imperfect relationships that are rooted in friendship, respect and trust, cultivated through time, struggle and patience. Then 'amazing' is a good relationship goal to aspire to.

Although I tend to do that A LOT, I hate to say this but I hate when people bring up issues from the past in an argument! A sign of deep seated resentment. But sometimes, it is inevitable. You see, right in the middle of an argument, I surprise myself by bring the silliest most irrelevant things up. They say the more you love and care about someone, the more you pay attention to the little details that might have hurt your feelings. I was the type that needed to clear my head before the serious talk. But now, I tend to snap at people I care about for the silliest things. I make no sense anymore (not even to myself) I just say it all. Maybe, too much of them is bad. I need a breather.

With all the transition that was happening around me, somehow by the end of 2011, I became speechless. It all became larger than words. You know, like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. Except the part that, unlike butterflies, the world around me wasn't all rosy and rainbow-ish. Life popped my little rose-colored bubble. I like to believe that it is slowly, very slowly, falling into place. I have faith that everything that has happened is for the best, my best. By Jan, 2012. I started seeing where it went wrong, where it got all better. So many things had changed in me and around me. Really, I never saw me here or even through this much. You see I started to believe in heartbreak after high expectations and too much hope, the power of eye cream, the cure of time, the magic of Argan Oil, the art of letting go and comfort food.

"Right now I want a word that describes the feeling that you get - a cold sick feeling, deep down inside - when you know something is happening that will change you, and you don't want it to, but you can't stop it. And you know, for the frist time, for the very first time, that there will now be a before and an after, a was and a will be. And that you will never again quite be the same person you were."

Emotional vulnerability.

2011-08-28T02:47:00.007+04:00

Sometimes we say really hurtful things to/about people we very much care about and love. Sometimes we don't mean any of it. Sometimes we mean it but never had the reason and chance to hash it out honestly, so we wait. We wait for the appropriate and very inappropriate moment, we wait for the conflict. An argument, or a fight. And that's when we decide its time to say it all. Or, wait .. we never actually decide, we just do without thinking all the hurtful words come out. Your feelings exposed. When its over, when the air is finally cleared. All you could think of is; Oh no I didn't! That's when it hits you, the guilt, why did I? Regret. Resulting in a mess of hurt feelings. No matter how much you think you're past everything that was said, you're past the argument, you're over the fight, but you or they will never forget. The words leave an eternal mark, there's no way around it. You will always have it in mind. Resentment, or something like that.

Lesson: Regardless of the many many differences you have with your surroundings, there are things you know you shouldn't say. Things you never want to say. Things you don't want to clear, because you can't help getting all hurt or defensive when other people point out a few things that they think you could stand a little improvement in. You try, try your best, but it still happens.

It's funny how I give everyone around me the never lose hope speech. And a couple of days ago, I talked myself into giving up hope in a certain something. Maybe that's the only way I'd be able to move on instead of lingering and waiting up. Some things aren't worth the wait anyway. Maybe, it didn't happen yet, because it never will.

I watched Madeline over a grillion times throughout my childhood, I should know by now "you can't make something happen just by wishing for it." right?

The heart of Europe.

2011-07-12T21:36:00.006+04:00

I'm blogging from the train, on my way back to Vienna from Prague. Prague is a beautiful city! Very touristic, I fell in love with the details of the old buildings, that survived and lived through many centuries. I have to admit exploring the wonderful city needed at least five days to be able to visit all the famous places! I visited Prague's famous castle, the Old town square which was so close to our hotel and Charles Bridge. I loved the Old town square, its right in the middle of Prague, the heart of the beautiful city. It had a magnificent church, many restaurants and cafe's. We were able to see from far during our city tour the Powder tower, a very old tower that was built to store gunpowder, it was not so far from the Old town square as well. What I realized is that, half of the people I came across are tourists! Really, even more than half.

During the city tour, when we were walking to Charles Bridge, we came across John Lennon's peace wall, a wall with beautiful graffiti by people from all around the world that left their mark on it. We also came across a small bridge above the Valtva river where lovers wrote their names on locks and threw their keys in the river. An idea that always exists in many parts of the world such as Rome, Paris and Moscow. I found it very romantic and interesting, it brought such joy to see hundreds of padlocks of people who believed in love!

Hit the road.

2011-07-11T01:32:00.001+04:00

3 days ago, we hit the road up the hill to Josefsdorf. Regardless of the hot weather that followed us all the way from Dubai to Austria, the road trip was so much fun! Only thing the got in the way, besides the weather, is the flu that was only getting worse and worse. I visited the pharmacy for almost three times, because the meds I got weren't doing me any good.
That's only because, well .. here it goes the confession.
Confession: I had ice cream twice or thrice or maybe more...
Excuse: I couldn't resist!!
Result: I got even sicker than I already am.

I'm all better now though, x

Ice cream.

2011-07-06T00:45:00.003+04:00

Vienna is all about Ice cream, ever where you go everyone around you is having ice cream. Ice cream is everywhere! I had lots and lots and lots. We scream for ice cream! & I ended up with a very sore throat!

These are pictures of the ones I had in the past few hours.

Genuine smiles.

2011-07-04T17:22:00.001+04:00

It's not that it's something I don't already know, but today showed me that it is very much true. Without the slightest doubt, nothing comes close to simple and genuine. Genuine smiles are beautiful!!

Little of everything that I came across today;

Food, music & good company.

2011-07-03T19:07:00.001+04:00

Today, we visited the House of Music, Haus Der Musik. It was very interesting! I got to know a lot of facts about famous musicians like Mozart and Beethoven. We were back from the museum right in time, as it started to rain. So we had to have lunch at the hotel since it was raining outside. & I had frog legs for the very first time in my life, and it wasn't bad at all.

Oh, summer vacay!

2011-07-03T02:12:00.001+04:00

This is my very first time in Vienna, & it is such a beautiful city. I had the longest morning walk eveeeer, it took us two hours and a half to get back to the hotel, although we intended to roam the streets of Vienna (which I completely fell in love with) for only an hour & to have breakfast.

Perfect first day, exploring some more tomorrow.

Beleive.

2011-06-26T00:54:00.006+04:00

Never.
Never.
Never.
Never.

Never ever give up.

And if you are about to, I won't let you. No I won't. You know why?

Explanation:

It is very easy to simply give up, and it's so hard to keep having faith and believing in yourself regardless of how things might turn out.

The start doesn't matter, it actually never matters, its the end that does. You can start, try to reach, try again and still fail, try again until you get there and that is what truly matters.

You are not a quitter. Only quitters quit. You see, one thing I immediately and completely fell in love with when I started to get to know you more, is your strong personality. You as a person, bring more meaning to the word Strong. I've known you to be that person who would never ever give up. Prove me right.

Simply, when things aren't on your side, you go up to things and get on their side!!

It happens to all of us. The feeling of hopelessness. We all reach point break. But if everyone one of us stopped right there and lost hope, no one would ever be there. Hope got people there.

Failure creates who you are. And, everything happens for a reason. Whatever does happen, is always for the best.

Keep moving forward.

Believe.

The hottest people are the happiest.

"Don't you think it's better to be extremely happy for a short while, even if you lose it, than to be just okay for your whole life?"

"I won't ever leave you, even though you're always leaving me."

"It's hard being left behind. (...) It's hard to be the one who stays."

"I go to sleep alone, and wake up alone. I take walks, I work until I'm tired. I watch the wind play with the trash that's been under the snow all winter. Everything seems simple until you think about it. Why is love intensified by absence? "

"Think for a minute, darling: in fairy tales it's always the children who have the fine adventures. The mothers have to stay at home and wait for the children to fly in the window."

"When you live with a woman you learn something every day. So far I have learned that long hair will clog up the shower drain before you can say "Liquid-Plumr"; that it is not advisable to clip something out of the newspaper before your wife has read it, even if the newspaper in question is a week old; that I am the only person in our two-person household who can eat the same thing for dinner three nights in a row without pouting; and that headphones were invented to preserve spouses from each others musical excesses."

"Transitions in life are usually marked by major events, birthdays, graduations, weddings; but the greater transition often come out of smaller moments, when we stop and look at who we are, because each time we see how far we have come, we also see how far we still have to go. In order to fully transform, we might need to free ourselves of everything we’ve been holding on to, to send us on our new path, the right one. But if at the end, you find the person you have become is not the person you want to be. You can always turn around and try again. And may be the next time you won’t be so alone when it’s over, too late to turn back now, XOXO Gossip Girl."

This year passed by so quickly. I can't believe my first year of university is over. So much has changed since last year. Dramatic change. I strongly believe that "change is good" this time I'm not sure if it is. Some days the change my life's going through is really good, others it is not. Determination and commitment is what I've been training myself to have, and so far so .. okay. Started off with being committed to a bottle of beauty oil, I've been committed for three months. I have never ever committed to something for this long! I'm really proud of myself, mainly because practice makes perfect. I'm determined to commit to bigger goals, aiming high. Proof to thyself that I have strong willpower. If there is anything that I aim to be then it is, to be stronger. The point I want to reach.

Life lessons.

2011-05-25T20:54:00.004+04:00

1) Being around a lot of people taught me that friendliness is a necessity. I find myself being nice to a lot of people that I like and don't like at the same time. (You know, the type of people you stay just friends with.) At first, I associated being too nice to people you equally like and don't like with being a hypocrite. Which isn't entirely true. Hypocrisy is a huge strong word.

2) Time taught me to ALWAYS put myself in their shoes. 'Cause when you learn to do so, you'd know how it feels to be in their place. You see, I may face a similar situation and act just the same. I don't jump to conclusions anymore, or at least I try as much as possible not to, because I've been there and I most certainly do not want to be judged or criticized in that way before they put themselves in my shoes.

3) Time taught me to think twice. Think twice before acting. Think twice before speaking. Mostly because, I hate the horrible feeling of regret or guilt that I get afterward. The I wish I said that feeling, or the I wish I didn't say that feeling. I wish I've done that feeling or I wish I hadn't. Wanting to beat the crap out of me for letting it slip my fingers before saying something I'm dying to say now made me realize that thinking twice is the best solution.

4) "Forever is an awfully long time to wait. And time, I've learned, is a poisonous drug. Too much of it kills you. The heart, our hearts, grow old as we wait for something that will never happen, dwell on the past about people and things we're better off without, and long to be with the ones that don't deserve us. At the end of the day life is just one damned things after the other."

A true test of character

2011-03-13T22:23:00.003+04:00

It all happens at once. At the same day. It's how they don't know how to handle it. It's how they don't know what to do next. What is appropriate, and what is not. What is right. What to say, how to say it. Most importantly, how to put this all to an end. A part of me doesn't want to be a part of all this. I end up questioning the true reason. There's a reason for everything right? Why does it have to happen to me? I have faith. I understand, I shouldn't be saying this. But why does it have to happen over and over and over and over again. Why can't I read the signs? What is there to read anyway. What is there for me to learn, more than I already have. Dear person#1, I hate what you say, how you say it and when you say it. It's always in the most inappropriate form and always at the wrong time. In such situations, I start looking down to you as much as I looked up to you. Pathetic and heartbreaking. I shouldn't put myself in those situations, I really do not want to see where I stand when it comes to believing in you. I second guess absolutely everything, if I believe in you at all. I avoide everything. Lock myself up from it. Try not to get involved as much as possible. At the end somehow someway it all comes back to me. Linked to me. And that's where I'm questioned. Asked to take part, forced to act upon the situation. It screws with my head. Please leave me out of the stirring of the unpleasant emotional dynamics.

The Art of Contouring.

2011-03-05T15:44:00.005+04:00

Want to make a difference? Contour, blend & highlight!
Why? Because blending, highlighting, and contouring is magic.
How? (look at the picture below.)

To me, it's the most important step, the step that will make your features stand out defined, and sharp. Contouring gives the illusion of a slimmer nose, sharp jawline, and (finally my favorite and the most attractive part) strong cheekbones!
It's either you use foundations, powders or bronzers. Use a light shade (2 shades lighter than your skin tone) to highlight, and a dark shade to contour. Never ever ever use shades of pink. Shades of brown are the most preferable. ( 2 shades darker than your skin tone, never too dark.)

Key: Blend, blend, and blend to even it out and get a flawless finish. Never make your steps visible and too obvious!

Make a face statement! xx

Sometimes we need to stop analyzing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.

-Carrie, Sex and the City.

This is exactly what I'm doing right now. I'm "going with the flow", seeing where all this will take me. I'm done analyzing, comparing, planning and figuring out why and how things happen. I tell myself, when it happens, it happens. And when it happens, is the only right time it could have happened. When it's over, it's over. I shouldn't be analyzing when, how and where. Faith and anticipation over curiosity and worry.

Thing is, I ended up having nothing to say to a lot of people in my life, even though we were so close the year before. We try, but it's not always that easy. I look back to my life and wonder what happened to so and so. Once in my heart, you're there forever. I hope you're alright. Doing well. Surviving. I miss your funny faces.

Pointless exaggeration.

2011-02-25T14:57:00.002+04:00

The human race tends to make every possible thing seem larger, more dramatic, better, or even worse than it really is. It's very fascinating how it's inevitable. Exaggeration. You all do it. We all do it. We exaggerate. Therefore, we are constantly disappointed. I don't mind people exaggerating how good a movie is, or how bad that dress looked on xyz. Or how scrumptious the cake was. Because people tend to do that, human nature. But, wait for it, wait for it. Even worse, & worse. What I find really hard to accept, being THE subject of exaggeration. I hate when people exaggerate & twist my actions. Making them seem like I'd never even except to hear. When on the other hand, I didn't mean it in that way. Too shocking to be true. How could you make it all look so bad? When it wasn't even slightly as bad. You can't exaggerate something & take it against someone.

I've never been this awake in my sleep. I'm too awake in my head that it doesn't feel like I was sleeping at all. Mentally, I'm wide awake. Going over every little detail. I've been avoiding the subject for a while for fear of the conflict it would most probably provoke in my head. Yet, it haunted me in my sleep. Turned into a complex nightmare. They say what happens, happens. As simple as that. But to me, it's never as simple. I want to know why it happened. I think I lost it maybe that's why. A sign that I'm about to crash? This never happened to me before. I still can't believe it myself. Maybe it's because of the rough day I had, all the rush of all the events, the good the bad all together. I feel haunted by my own thoughts, they come back. I'm sure it means something. Psychologically speaking.

2011, I can't wait for you to come. It's not that I hate 2010. It's just that I somehow can't wait. For what exactly, I do not know. I have this feeling, that it's going to be different, better, amazing. Using the Law of Attraction. This year, is fine. Neutral, is how I feel. I love January, I know there's nothing such as a "new beginning" & as I previously mentioned in a very old post. There aren't new beginnings. There are things that we all can't let go of and leave behind. Things that stay, just stay. Stay forever & leave a mark. Yes, things stay. But that feeling of the new start, of a year's freshness. That, I want.

Junk thought.

2010-10-06T00:15:00.011+04:00

My mind's firing off a round of confusing questions. Mostly What ifs. No, seriously for real. What if. What if everything was different. What if everything is not what it is now. What if we're not who we are. What will I be. What will you be. Who will we be. Most importantly, will that make me happy. It's not that I'm not. There are times when I'm really happy with everything and everyone. But today's one of those days. There are things on my mind that I've been wanting to say, it's not that I can't put them into words. It's just that I don't know how. Or maybe I can't and don't know how. I've been over-thinking about everything all day long. I don't know why. This feeling sucks. Not knowing what on planet earth is wrong with that mind of yours. What's going on in there. Whats killing me even more is that I have absolutely no reason at all to feel this way. How cool is being able to access your own mind and drag that "Junk" thought to the "Trash". Then simply, empty trash. Wow, I wish.

Chocolate brightens my mood up noticeably. Or lets be honest, more like dramatically. Brings me back to rainbows and fluttering butterflies. Takes me up, up & up on cloud nine. Gets me high in the heart.

What makes you feel this way?

Little things that matter.

2010-09-24T00:57:00.003+04:00

I'm sad. They threw away the most precious cloth doll to my heart, one that I had since birth, I know I should've kept it in my room, I shouldn't have abandoned it. I remember getting it to my room after it disappeared, it stayed with me for a while, then vanished to god knows what again of course. Yes, I'm heart broken & tearing over a doll, Lulu wasn't just a doll, it was .. Ah!!!! I'm sorry for ignoring you for the past year or so, I'm sorry I completely lost interest but now that you're gone, I want you back. I always thought to myself, that I'd pass you on to my girls & that I'd tell them our story. Sad.

Lulu, always in my heart!

Wonderful day.

The ugly truth or the beautiful lie?

2010-09-03T04:10:00.002+04:00

What would you rather hear?

I am a princess. All girls are.

2010-08-31T01:53:00.006+04:00

My favorite part is, when Sarah was tracing her father's face with her fingers when he was about to leave.
And he said, What are you doing? Memorizing me by heart?
And she said, No I already know you by heart.

& this one too. Oh well, truthfully I can't decide what my favorite part is, the whole movie is a favorite!!!

Miss Minchin: Don't tell me you still fancy yourself a princess? Child, look around you! Or better yet, look in the mirror.
Sarah: I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses. All of us. Didn't your father ever tell you that? Didn't he?

Here's an AMAZING one.

‘Papa, don’t you remember me? Papa, please! You’ve got to know me! It’s Sara, remember? Remember India and Maya? Remember the Ramayana… and Emily? And the locket with Mama’s picture? ’

Love. Makes me want to CRY!! I'm actually tearing. So sad, & genuine.

To princesses everywhere, xx

Despicable me. I more than loved this adorably cute movie. It's one of those movies that makes everyone laugh for so many different reasons. It's filled with cuteness. I loved the fluffy unicorn, the farting gun, and how Gru had to put his fingers in the puppets that were in the little kittens story book. He also made the little kittens drink milk. Which is super cute! Agnes was by far my favorite character. She somehow reminds me of Boo from Monsters, Inc.

Perfect Waves.

2010-07-04T19:50:00.016+04:00

I've struggled countless times, trying to explain to different hair stylists that I want WAVES. W-A-V-E-S. Not curls. Most hairstylists after two seconds of looking at the picture (I always show them pictures!) " Oh yeah, I know I know." Later, when they're all done, my hair is curled. I think if you bothered to look at the picture, it may have struck you that you don't know how to. They always end up doing "soft curls" thinking they are waves. Soft curls are still curls my friend. Curls take the "C" shape & Waves take the "S" shape. My latest hairstyle crush is the wavy side swept style. Seen on many celebrities like Penelope Cruiz, Kim Kardashian, Megan fox, Jennefier Lopez & Katty perry and so on.

Don't you just love 'em? Gorgeous!

"How can you move on if you are still living in the past? And how can you step forward, leaving the past behind, if you can’t even begin to forgive what the past holds? How can you love someone for who they are, yet want to hate them for what they’ve done? I guess that’s what it boils down to is this — there are always those defining moments, times that makes us or breaks us, builds us or tears us apart, help us progress further or stop us dead in our tracks. And for whichever way we may choose, there’s a consequence of equal value. It’s a true test of what we stand for, where we came from, and where we are going. These are moments that we live for, breathe for, and fight for. These are the defining moments that leave imprints forever in our hearts, making our souls forever. These are choices that could bring you one step closer to forever or leaving you hostage to the past. I guess in order to move on from the past, you must learn to forgive it. And forgiving may mean letting go."

How long will it take you to ever let go of the past? I made a firm decision, to forget forgive and move on. There comes a time in your life when you should start telling yourself 'I need to move the eff on' and now is the time, so please do. I can't stand it, its annoying really. How many times do I have to tell you that I'm over the whole thing. Aren't you tired of the things I've been repeating for the past decade? I've already told you everything there is to say. Its a chapter that came to an end. & I do not want to be reminded of that ugly chapter. Can't you see how it makes me feel? It's time to sit face to face and hash it out honestly. 'Cause I'm tired of being reminded of all the things that I'm past.

2010-05-05T20:23:00.000+04:00

We all get at least one good wish a year. Over the candles on our birthday. Some of us throw in more. On eyelashes, fountains, lucky stars, and every now and then, one of those wishes comes true. So what then? Is it is as good as we’d hoped? Do we bask in the warm glow of our happiness? Or, do we just notice we’ve got a long list of other wishes waiting to be wished?

Set you free

2010-04-17T15:53:00.007+04:00

Girls are taught a lot of stuff growing up. If a guy punches you he likes you. Never try to trim your own bangs and someday you will meet a wonderful guy and get your very own happy ending. Every movie we see, every story we’re told implores us to wait for it, the third act twist, the unexpected declaration of love, the exception to the rule. But sometimes we’re so focused on finding our happy ending we don’t learn how to read the signs. How to tell from the ones who want us and the ones who don’t, the ones who will stay and the ones who will leave. And maybe a happy ending doesn’t include a guy, maybe… it’s you, on your own, picking up the pieces and starting over, freeing yourself up for something better in the future. Maybe the happy ending is… just… moving on.

I'm not a fan of Scarlett Johansson, she kinda gets on my nerves. Especially in her horrible movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona but oh god I'm definitely a fan of all her Ad's, impressive. In some she looks so gorgeous, I love them. Scarlett the 'face' of Dolce & Gabbana's makeup line has also modeled for Mango Autumn/ Winter '09 campaign & Spring/Summer '10. My favorite are S/S '10 (Last three pictures) so pretty!

Is it wrong to ... ?

2010-04-03T21:17:00.004+04:00

The Crime
Feeling a little relieved when a ' perfect ' friend fails.
The Verdict
"Feeling relieved in this situation is not wrong, but the belief that your friend was perfect in the first place is. People may try to hide their mistakes and imperfections from you, but everyone is only human and everyone has human flaws and failings. If you are feeling relieved in this situation it suggests that you believe that you are somehow more flawed then your ' perfect ' friend. You enjoy their fall from grace because it makes you feel better about yourself."
The Lesson
No one is perfect, so don't be so hard on yourself.

The Crime
Feeling guilty for making decision against what everyone wanted you to do.
The Verdict
"Guilty feelings are caused by unhelpful thinking patterns and having unrealistic rules for yourself, for example: ' I should do what others want. ' Everyone's entitled to make their own decisions and even making the wrong decision can be a great learning experience. It's wrong to feel guilty in this situation as long as you were respectful to others when rejecting their suggestions."
The Lesson
You are entitled to live your own life and make your own mistakes. Decisions you make should be made for you and not anyone else.

The Crime
Desperately wanting people's approval
The Verdict
"Most people want others to like and approve of them. This is absolutely normal and okay, however it is wrong to want others approval so much that you are willing to do things that are not genuine to you to please them, or you're willing to sacrifice your own priorities, wants and needs to meet other people's expectations"
The Lesson
If you feel like you left your identity at the door years ago, then it's time to rediscover the REAL you.No, we're not saying you need to buy a round-the-world ticket in order to 'find yourself', but just try to remember that being a people pleaser to the detriment of your own identity can be damaging to you.

2010-03-07T20:33:00.006+04:00

They say, every day is a new beginning. But hey, we all know that even new year isn't a new beginning. Be realistic, there isn't. Darling, you are not the only one. There are things that we all can't let go of and leave behind. Things that stay, just stay. Stay forever & leave a mark. What I'm saying is, there are moments I go back & think so hard of what I believed for so long. I have trouble forgetting & letting go. I just can't, & I'm sorry about that. Being stuck in the past sucks, I'd always go back to it every once in a while. I'd pause in time, press rewind and think of how it used to be. Then, I'd press play, and carry on like nothing's wrong.

I'm in love with Vogue India. It is different, and I love how different is it. & I'd tell you one thing, with every page you flip you see, a gorgeous huge emerald & diamond necklace, ruby bracelet, or diamond cocktail ring. * hearts* .. there are articles that are fun & interesting. I'd share the one I really loved with you.

"Vogue Quotient, Word up, we sought out the newest slang going around this part season "

I'll share my favorites..
Buffer guest (n.) a close friend whom you invite to a party earlier than the scheduled time, in order to make things less awkward in case someone you don't know arrives early.
I invited Kankona as a buffer guest in case Kareena arrived early.

DLS (n.) short for Dirty Little Secret, a secret you don't want anyone else to know.
I'm cheating on my boyfriend with his best friend. He has no idea - its my DLS!

Facebrag (v.) to use Facebook as a platform to brag.
Facebook Status: I just got another Hermes Birkin, Ranbir Kapoor won't stop calling me, and I lost 5 kilos without exercising.

MDL (n.) short for Mutton Dressed as Lamb, an older lady dressing in fashions that are inappropriate for her age.
Her mother looks like an MDL- those clothes look like they belong to a 13 year old.

Nonversation (n.) a completely worthless conversation where nothing meaningful is discussed or elaborated on.
I had a nonversation with Rakhi about the weather.

Instead of following my resolution to get fit this year, I decided to retox and take up Japanese cooking classes instead.

Textrovert (n.) someone who is daring while texting, but is a coward in person.
All the night he was silent and wouldn't make the first move, but the moment he got home, he suddenly became a textrovert.

TTYN (n.) short for Talk to you never.
See you losers, ttyn!

Twitterrhea (n.) tweeting excessively and compulsively on Twitter.
She has a case of twitterrhea- who posts 18 tweets an hour?

Mistake: An error or fault resulting from defective judgment, deficient knowledge, or carelessness. Or, an act or thought that unintentionally deviates from what is correct, right, or true.

Flaw: imperfection and defect in a person's character. A feature that is regarded as unfavorable. Something that makes somebody or something less than perfect.

I accept character flaws, no one's perfect. & I never expect any of you to be completely flawless. I'd also get over a mistake, yes it would take me a lil while. You learn from it, I move on. I accept the fact that we all do mistakes.. & I'm no one to judge. But I'd never ever accept a repeated mistake, one that you've done a thousand times, that is just too much & enough is enough. You should have learned the lesson already.

I'm starting to think that you're one of those people who'll talk to me only whenever they want something. & It's kinda true. Sadly, I have a bunch of those in my life. Those who would only bother if they want something in return I used to care if you'd disappear for a day or two, but guess what? Not anymore. Cause I figured you out, I got you. You're that type, you fall perfectly under that category and fit all its description. I always thought, I'm the problem and that I'm the one that needs some figuring out to do thinking I'm the reason why it's different, we're different. I try hard, harder and even harder. Sometimes, I try too hard. When you're not trying at all. It's normal to you isn't it? It fascinates me how a person can go from being so close to you, to simply no one and nothing at all. How do you do that? How do you simply walk away, turn your back. I want to know, I need help here. I've been having trouble letting go, letting things go, letting this go. Precious to priceless. But I wont show it, I'll never show it. I'll never show that it means anything, that I miss you, that's its painful. Next time you talk to me, I'll show nothing at all. I'll be just like you careless and carefree. Because trying so hard is pointless. The least you can do is try to keep whats left of our friendship alive..
