World Apart

A bit of hope doesn’t hurt anyone. But as much as we might like all men to be paragons of strength and honour and all women to be wise, patient and faithful; life is not a romance novel.

 

These lines from my daily read struck me quite hard.

 

Ok, maybe life isn't a romance novel, but surely people are striving to be the good right?

 

Am I in denial? Am I the only one working to make this statement untrue?

 

I go to bed thinking all the guys are doing their best to be paragons of strength and honour. Coz that's what I aim to be. 

And I hope the lasses out there are striving to be wise, patient and faithful.

 

But reality and the media are throwing my fairy tale world apart.  

I'm starting to think that it really is a lost cause. 

 

The blob

After giving my girlfriend an earful last night for splurging on Sex and the City box set, I went ahead and bought games for myself.

I'm such a hypocrite.

I was going on about self control and instant gratifications (retail therapy). Good things are worth waiting for I said.

Then the first thing I do in the morning is go on an online shopping spree.

*warning - do not look up "Sex in the City" at work.. that's kinda like looking up porn. Its "Sex AND the City"


My self control is such a temperamental thing.

One day I'm like a samurai, able to withstand temptation and have utmost control of myself. Exercising, studying, working, saving up money.

Concentration is as sharp as a razor blade.


Then something happens and I turn in a blob.

A blob is kinda like an evil twin, only a lot more disgusting.
A blob who doesn't exercise. A blob who doesn't eat right or sleep right. I turn to someone who suddenly only care about whats happening in the next two hours.

Then after being a blob for a while, I cross a barrier.



A threshold for which I say "Damn Will! Look at yourself! What are you doing? This is not you!"

Then its back to samurai mode.

It's such an exhausting cycle.

Post Holiday Depression

I think I'm finally getting out of the rut.

The Post Holiday Depression (PHD) I've been suffering since returning from Japan.

I know everyone takes a while to get back to the swing of things after a holiday, but for me it was really quite bad.

I just couldn't get excited about anything (well.. almost everything :P).

I just wanted to stay at home and stuff myself with fatfoods.
Going out or going to work was just too troublesome.

I was (and maybe still am) contemplating quitting my job and start selling barbecued chicken and rice as my next occupation.

I'm thinking life would be trouble free then.

I wanted a pet cow. It had to be brown.

I guess that the thing when you're depressed. Life is dull compared to what it once was.

But I believe that the best cure for depression is to make someone else happy. Their happiness is a lot more effective than any type of happiness-remedy you can try to prescribe yourself.

And this kinda worked for me.

I hope they like my small present.

It includes a brown cow.

Comfort eating

I remember reading somewhere that the peak age of a man's body happens around the time they turn 27.

I think the peak of my body occurred sometime when I was 12.

Everything has been downhill since.

Hair loss, getting fatter, nasty itch, knee problems.

*sigh*

Need more comfort food I reckon.

Pancakes with a slab of comfort

Nando's fiesta - because eating for one is lonely. But eating for three is fine.

Calamari rings promise an unending circle of happiness
