Precarious

Well this is an actual word.... Not one for my Jossepedia Files.

Did you know that this word has its origins from the Latin word prex or prec - and they go on to say even 'prayer'.

Hmmm so many thoughts right there.

To feel you are in such an uncertain, unstable situation is an awful feelin to say the least.... 

Beatles something in the way she moves

Not sure why but this song has been in my head for a few days.

Mocking jay?

Some people mock or belittle your pain,

Until they have a taste of it themselves...

Must remember to be more empathetic.

Bad day for you lady...

To the lady that works at Fabricland who, in her flip accent said she wasnt flip and continued to give my ma 'tude and that look :

anong ng yari sa mukha mo?

Hope it was just a bad day for her, not a bad life.

My mom reminded me of something while telling me what the Sisters taught her in nursing school:

Imagine how those people who are sick in the hospital feel, the last thing you want to do is make them more sick just by looking at them with a miserable face.
What a wonderful gift you give to others when you simply smile.

Gotta do more of that.

W.H Auden

Stumbled upon this quote out of context a long while back...


...
For the error bred in the bone 
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have, 
Not universal love
But to be loved alone. 
...

 

Hey Jude - Katy Perry (full version)

I seem to like this version from her Doc, even better than her performance...

"CARN"

Not sure what accent that would be. But I love me some peaches n cream corn!

Well that was a treat from my work's food market BBQ. 

Sangria?

Is it ok to make my make-shift Sangria with over week old opened wine?? 

Make-shift because it's made from what I have laying around my place: red wine, San pellogrino aranciata, peaches and pineapple. Tastes yum! Hope my belly survives. 

"Don't play with your food"....

As we all probably heard as kids.

Gotta do something with these before they go bad.

I love hearts :) 

Muggy

I love that it's summer!

I used to shy away from the sun.

Though I still get a bit of sun stroke and sun rashes, I think I'm much better at getting some happy and some vitamin D from that big ol' firey ball in the sky!

BUT Oooo

One thing I don't like, is when the sunshine has some mugginess ....

The amount of P- yews I can smell from everything and everyone. 

Summer

I think I've switched my fav season to summer. Been a happy one so far. Whoever would have thought I'd ever feel this much sunshine again. Just simply appreciative. 

Whaza happening to me?! Sheesh.

What really sucks with some reasons as to why physical ailments come up is that, sometimes it's hard to even know you are stressed when you are stressed or even if your immune system is down.

Apparently, I'm feeling perfectly fine. 

Puzzle pieces

The challenge of putting together puzzle peices is only satisfying when you like the  final picture it creates.... Some are best not attempted at all...  :( 

Was looking online for dresses....

Dear Aritzia,

I did not know that the slouching look was a thing now. I'll opt out of that, for my posture's sake.

Thanks,

Joss

Knock knock

Picture this.

You are sitting in a one stall washroom doin yer biz'ness and since it's a one stall washroom you locked the door.

You hear a person approach your washroom.

They attempt to turn the knob.

Click click click.

Yep, cause you locked it right ? Since you're using it right? Hence, someone (you) is using the washroom. Occupado!

But then after the click click click of the knob turn, you hear knock knock!

What is the purpose of this knock? Isn't the universal sign of "occupied" a locked bathroom door? 

Is it to check if someone is actually in the washroom? Because sometimes washrooms just lock on their own with no one inside? Is it to check if I'm awake and haven't fallen asleep on the toilet?

Is it to coherce me to stop mid-biz'ness and finish up cause their biz'ness is more important than mine? Is it to rush my #1s and #2s ? Is it to tell me someone is waiting .... Still meaning to hurry my ass up? Or is it to let them in while I'm doing my biz'ness so that they can wash their hands since obviously I'm not using the sink yet? Do they want to hear me say "almost done" (pooping or peeing or both or washing my hands after pooping or peeing or both..obviously)

All this to say : I find this knock knock kinda annoying. It somehow begs a response. Forcing me to engage in conversation whilst doing something private.
I'm temped to say something equally annoying back....

knock knock
Me: "Who is it? ....Come in! ......... I'm just pooping"

I bet they would try to turn the knob again as an automatic response to "come in.."

Holiday shopping

One big fear I have when shopping for clothes is that I would get stuck in an item of clothing, twisted in some awkward, ridiculous position, in an embarrassing state of partial nakedness, and I pass out because of lack of oxygen, since the clothing is wound tightly around me, and I am found this way on the floor of the change room because I was too ashamed of asking the staff to help me out....

Yesterday's holiday off shopping spree reminded me of this fear. I came close to this... Very close. 

I still bought that dress. The things we do for fashion.
