Signs...

You know how unexcited I am about the whole valentine thingy. But I got to know that the more you repress something, the more it comes chasing after you. That's what happened today when I was frying some chips. Here's a grease mark on kitchen paper:

Yeah if you look closely it has the symbolic shape of a heart.

But that's not all. That's really not all!

That plant was not like that yesterday! It was freaking not like that! It was all green with just some tiny flowers and now it seems all read with huge, vibrantly red flowers!

Ahemm and now if you tell me those are not signs I'll ask you to kindly swallow your socks. OK, I think I'm just going crazy!

Anyway, take care dudettes and dudes and my crazy aliens. Happy valentine's day. Aargh.

Undecided - Fawkes

I was supposed to start writing something about freedom and then I ended up watching a re re re run of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on TV. Yeah I know the books are far better than the movies. It's a universal truth, I won't disagree with that! But I really enjoyed the movie. Perhaps it was the clear image of the TV, might never know. Anyway, what I really like with Harry Potter movies is the music, it's enticing, I don't know how to describe that, it's really attractive and it keeps playing in my head hours and sometimes days after I've watched one of those movies. Hmmm... and now suddenly I've got the irrepressible urge to start reading each of those books all over again.

So about the Chamber of Secrets, I think the one who did most of the dirty job and who deserves great praises is him:

Yeah Fawkes, the phoenix. He kicks ass. After all it's him who poked the eyes of the basilisk and brought the Sorting Hat for Harry. He was the one who healed Harry's arm with his tears and who flew them all (Ron, Ginny, Gilderoy Lockhart and Harry) out of the Chamber of Secrets. So much job for such a little animal. I suggest we call PETA. Just kidding, really!

Anyway, my father watched the movie with me and he particularly liked Dobby, the house elf. He thought Dobby really looked like Vladimir Putin. Now I know he's not the only one to have noticed that!

Aah, anyway, take care dudettes and dudes and my lovely aliens. It's past midnight and I gotta get some sleep.

Valentine's Day Horrors

You wanna know what's horrible with all these? It's the fake flowers, the plastic gifts, the freaky plush toys. And these form part of original and romantic gifts? Duh! Double duh! Those horrible stuff have invaded almost everywhere you can set your eye on in Port Louis. I bet the situation is the same anywhere else in Mauritius.

Whatever happened to original gifts? Romantic dinners or lunches and flowers? Real, fresh flowers? Huh? Well I guess it's only meant for those who can afford them. In 2006 a flower shop in Quatre Bornes was selling a single rose at 150 rupees. Can you actually imagine the price of a dozen? The flowers sold in the market nearby, still in Quatre Bornes cost lesser than that but then they are not of really great quality. Yeah blame the system or plant flowers!

Anyway, my only advice, if ever I could ever give one to you dudettes and dudes and my aliens reading this is to get some damned originality and try to be creative with your valentine gifts.

Lovely Sunday...

Today I had a lovely Sunday. Not too much things happened but just enough to make it another lovely Sunday. The most pleasant and surprising stuff that happened today is that I got this award (shown below) from Manictastic. It's for his short story contest in which I took part and I must say I'm really touched and really really excited about it! I even showed it to my mum and sister, just to tell you how much I'm happy about it.

The short story I had written can be read here. Once again thanks a lot Manico! :D

Another great event in my personal blogosphere is MBB's fourth month anniversary. I wish them the best of luck and keep to the great work going dudettes and dudes at MBB! (sorry for leeching the logo :P )

Apart from those, today I realised something really important, Valentine's Day is just some days away and I did not plan anything about it! Oh my God! I just hope the 14th is not as bad as it was last year; there was lots of rain. Argh!

So much for today dudettes and dudes and my happy aliens! Be good!

The 1 word tag

I've been tagged by Miranda and the tag consists of answering 4 questions with only one word for each question. Quoting Miranda:

4 question! Only 4! Looks simple isn't it? The answer will have to be only 1 word. You can add a describtion or picture to explain your answer, but the answer itself will have to be 1 word.

Sounds pretty easy and tough at the same time! So let me give it a try:

1. What rocks?

Mastodon.

2. What sucks?

The difficulty of this question lies in the fact that I have to choose only 1 answer.

It would be disorder.

Disorder as in lack of organisation, order and cleanliness.

3. What's awesome?

This.

4. What's lame?
Anger.

So much for my 1 word tag dudettes and dudes and my wordless aliens. It wasn't so hard afterall.
