Thoughts during my Convalescence...




Isn't it lovely when you read the challenging words coming from a blogger who you know is really experienced in the department of writing and creating ideas to form a blog entry? And not just some randomly picked word from the more unknown annals of the Webster's? It takes years and years of developing conversational and writing skills to be up at par with the best (not that I am at optimum level myself) so one shouldn't cover it up with big English words just to impress people hehehehe






Ahhh the musings of a girl during her convalescent period. I am now ready to spread my wings again and emerge from the cocoon I placed myself again. To rise from hibernation like a rodent during the spring! What rodent, what cocoon?????? Hahaha Of course yet another surgical procedure tucked under my belt is what I'm hinting at. I was in Bangkok a couple of weeks ago yet again, that wicked city which churns out Barbie dolls like shoes in an Italian leather factory, to get closer to becoming the Brazilian Barbie that I want to be. Don't you dare chastise me for my procedures hahaha! She who shuns the knife shuns the reality that human beings can come as close to perfection if we just have the will and well cash.



And of course I won't share with you the transformation I have undergone yet again haha. Only a handful of people close to my heart know what I have had done and I want it to remain that way. But it won't be long before anybody notices because I am going to have the best photoshoot EVERRRR in years soon with so many of the most beautiful lingerie, shoes and accessories my VIP fans have sent me, so fret not, oh commoner for ye shall be informed too! Of course naturally my VIP fans have the first glimpse right after pictorial day. God knows when you, the hoi polloi, shall be able to see it, bless you!


Here are my latest thoughts on the issues that touch, affect, disturb and induce lack of sleep on yours truly....




The Tiger Woods forgiveness speech:



The biggest joke I have ever heard in quite a while. We already know all the words from his speech never came from the heart so I guess the biggest question now is WHO DID HIS ABOMINATION OF A SPEECH hahahaha. Another question is how long will it take before he switches his mobile phone on and starts calling his well-paid ho's left and right hahaha. Seriously 6 months of therapy would have done him better than doing this speech too soon.




Russia's crash from gold medal winning-ways on the Olympic figure-skating podium:







This is seriously one issue that is disturbing and shocking for me because I have always been a big fan of Russia's sports system back in their heydays (re: read blog on the Soviet sports system several pages back). There was a time when Russian pairs placed 1st, 2nd or 1st, 3rd on the medals podium but now it seems that many teams have trounced them from their pedestals. Now it is quite painful to say that we are witnessing a changing of the guard in the figure skating competition. It is a big irony too that in this year's Winter Games in Vancouver the Chinese, who dominated the pairs competition, copied their sports system from the same Soviet sports machine that manufactured world-class skaters.



Plus Plushenko losing the men's individual gold medal that was already his after the short program was too much to take. American Lysacek who won the gold, played it safe with a program that was for the grannies who liked fancy costumes while Evgeni Plushenko pushed the boundaries and took risks with the quadruple jump or toe-loop or whatever they call it. I almost killed myself when the American won it over Plushenko. Maybe I should blame the faulty judging system?


The demise of Alexander McQueen





This one least affects me really as I am not privy to his designs or know him at any personal level but in one way or another his visual concoctions have influenced many things that came out of the style orbit. Be it bags, shoes, clothes anything worth wearing, McQueen probably had some say in some of the biggest trends in our lifetime. Plus more importantly some of my friends are designers who will miss anticipating his highly edgy and phenomenal creations each season. He will be missed indeed but I don't condone his method of extricating himself from the circle of life though sorry....


And last but not least I can't believe my addiction to this song from an odd combination of artists or more appropriately artist plus one. I don't consider Leighton Meester to be an A-list singer who can churn out good vocals from her pipes. If there is any comparison or reference in Meester's singing to that of a past singer wannabe's, it's Stephanie of Monaco in "Irresistible" decades ago hahahha. Of course one reason I probably love this current hit is because Robin Thicke is a fantastic artist and a handsome man so it helps Leighton's cause for her to get the credit of MOST-PLAYED-ON-MY-IPOD as of the moment....
