The lady with the card

We saw the thief today...and man, shes so totally a pro! I thought someone must have picked up my wallet and run amok with the cards...but no, this is totally a professional job...someone lifted the wallet from my bag, someone else tore through the Saturday evening traffic to a strategically chosen  low profile jewelery shop....and the lady who used the card had an accomplice waiting for her outside giving continuous updates ...she was Muslim and her face was clearly visible through her headscarf on the CCTV, and she handed my card over the counter as if its the most natural thing to do, it was really disturbing to see it...she was pretty ordinary looking, you're likely to see her opposite you on a train seat or at the nearby table at a restaurant...

Not very smart though to get caught on the cam, I really thought she would have covered her face and she managed to totally fudge my signature, which has got to be easiest in the world.......I wonder what she eats and how she sleeps at night...I can only hope she feels pretty in all the big fat jewelery she bought...

If you are reading this, just buy me dinner the next time you see me, I really am broke :(

going going..gone!

My life sucks...yes, right now, it positively, totally sucks! My wallet  got stolen today..and the bitch who took it wasn't content with the ridiculous amount of money there was in it..she actually felt the need to go indulge herself buying gold with the credit cards..leaving me with a bill that chills my spine each time I think of it...all in a matter of 15 mins...not to talk about the hassle of running around trying to lodge a police complaint and worrying that she may misuse my IDs....or even the fact that I am totally cut off from all my finances and that all my cards are blocked...Yeah, shes smooth and fast...and they've asked me to come check out her face tomorrow at the shop she blew all my money at.....apparently, its on camera...but I am willing to bet my life that she'll be veiled or something...after all shes not stupid right???? 

So goodbye to all my savings....hope we meet sometime soon....:(

But nonetheless....

In a strange land far far away, there once lived a little mermaid called Lily. Lily was lonely and sad because she did not have a sea to live in. She wandered far and wide searching for her sea. Pools of water, rivers and streams beckoned to her but she wanted only her sea.

Quite suddenly, she stumbled upon a really beautiful sea. The sea seemed too good to be true.  It was  kind  and warm and had everything Lily could ever want. She was really excited. Eagerly, she ran to the sea and made friends with it. The sea totally adored Lily, and they had a great time being with each other. It was the happiest she had ever been.

The sea invited Lily to come and live in it but for some reason Lily was hesitant. She preferred to stay outside the sea and just talk to it instead. The sea could not understand why Lily felt this way.

One day was a terrible thunderstorm. Lily was scared and ran to the sea but the sea was horribly harsh.

But I always am rough during thunderstorms. I cannot really help it...

In the calm before the storm, what did Lily see but sharks in the sea..Many many bloodthirsty sharks...She was petrified...Eyes wide with fear, she asked the sea about the sharks....

Oh they wont hurt you...they belong to me, they have lived with me forever.....

Lily believed the sea and she stepped into it for the first time....

We dont want you, you are not one of us...spat the sharks, and chased her out....there was blood and tears everywhere....

The sea was puzzled....the sharks have never bitten anyone before,  you mustve done something to annoy them.....

Ive done nothing....cried Lily, wringing her hands, but the sea did not believe her.....

Can you tell the sharks to leave me alone? ....she asked 

I cant do that...I cant upset my sharks...Dont you have my love? Isnt that all you need? Sharks will be there in every sea...

But it hurts to to be bitten...and I dont deserve to be hurt for no reason....said Lily...

Well, if you have to be here, you have to tolerate the sharks, my dear...its the only way you can live in this sea......

Lily could not understand it....but she understood only too clearly her place in the life of the sea....

and so there was Lily, lonely and sad once again...

P.S. Dont ask me what this damn story means, Ive no idea. Its just  a dream Ive had like a million times!

You dont bring me flowers

You are unhappy in it...
You are unhappy out of it....
But if you are more unhappy out of it than in it,
Does it make sense to stick with it?

The pot hole!

You know theres something wrong if get a call from home at 12 am in the night.

Please, please let it not be Grandpa...
It cant be grandma can it???
Ummm....what else can go wrong? I hope everything is alright...could it be a fire? or an accident?? or maybe its just good news....
But please please, let nothing happen to Grandpa...

Hello??.. You say tentatively into the phone, fearing the worst... 

Your brother had an accident on his bike. He crashed into a man-hole and broke his ribs.

Well, that was actually tactful given my dad's usual standards... 

Is he ok? Where is he? Is he alive???? 

It seems he is out of danger.... 

What do you mean it seems??????? 

No theres no danger but the pain is excruciating..

I can imagine...well, sort of!! I cant really imagine how it must hurt especially when you breathe each time:( I am sorry dumma, I wish I could take away your pain...

Thank God, you are safe!!
