Gorgeous Salesperson

Sometimes when I shop I see things that I like but friends don’t and vise versa. Their opinions matter but not always; not when I really like an item so much that it desperately calls me to buy it.

Sometimes I don’t like an item much, but the salesperson who happens to look gorgeous tries to convince me that the thing looks beautiful on me.

Do you fall for that?

Have you ever bought something just because the salesperson is gorgeous?

Have you ever reassured yourself that your friends' opposing opinion doesn’t matter as long as the gorgeous salesperson thinks it look nice on you?

Do you think they mean it when they praise you?
Or do you think they are just doing so because they are targeting your pocket?

What? How? Why?

Did you hear about the totally stupid man who bought an AM radio?
It took him a month to work out that he could play it at night too.

Why did the totally stupid man stand in front of a window during a thunderstorm?
So that he could take photos without using the flash.

Why did the totally stupid man stare at the can of frozen orange juice?
Because it said “concentrate”.



1. If a totally stupid man is going to London on a plane, how can you steal his window seat?


2. What do you call ten totally stupid men standing ear to ear?


3. How do you keep a totally stupid man busy?
No cheating please!

What Nationality Were Adam and Eve?


A Briton, a Frenchman and a Russian are viewing a painting of Adam and Eve frolicking in the Garden of Eden.

"Look at their reserve, their calm," muses the Brit. "They must be British."

"Nonsense," the Frenchman disagrees. "They're naked, and so beautiful. Clearly, they are French."

"No clothes, no shelter," the Russian points out, "they have only an apple to eat, and they're being told this is paradise. They are Russian."

Fat Fat Fat

atkins-diet

I have been cheating and cheating AND cheating on my diet for the past.. what (counting) month!!! MONTH!! anyways..
This morning, the weighing scale showed that I've lost a total of 1.5 kg since the first week of August. So what does that tell you? CHEATING IS GOOD? Not really.
I suppose taking the stairs, jogging a lot and aerobics exercises I've been doing is working great!
I need to lose another 5kg by end of September, I don't really 'need' to but I want to lose 5 kg, especially that in Ramadan I can't help but gain weight I should really have self-control and avoid Ramadan gatherings (aka ghabga) and that's another issue I could write a whole post about but now I want to concentrate on how I can lose 5 by the end of september?

any ideas? ladies and gents..

Who said Babies are Angels?


Sarah's experience:


I had enough! .. 3 days of babysitting and I'm going insane!!!
I'm not used to this kind of life.. I feel selfless!! My life was ALL about ME!!! but NOW, it's all about him! It's all about the baby!

He watches cartoons all the day and when he gets bored, he cries and wants me to dance and sing to him, otherwise he wouldn't stop screaming, so I have no choice. I hate it when babies cry, especially in the middle of the night. It is pretty frustrating to deal with a one-year-old baby.. He can not talk so how would I know what he wants or how he feels or if anything hurts him!!! How can one communicate with a baby? This is too hard.

So this is the third day I think he misses his mom. He keeps biting me, pinching and punching. you should see the marks he gave me. I didn't sleep well.. Excellent!

Today I realized something, I want my single life back I want to go out whenever I want without worrying about my lil-Dude.. without feeling guilty that I left him home.. This is one tough lesson, I learnt I don't want to have a baby, atleast not anytime soon. I also learnt that being a mother is the hardest job ever! EVER! I mean it! I totally mean it!!

conclusion: this job is disappointingly unsuccessful, I don't think I'm doing good at all. 4 days left.. (allah yastir)

Flamingoliya’s experience:

Baby sitting for one day.. or should I say for a few hours?

I like babies but only when they are clean, fed, and well dressed. There are times when I have to baby sit my nephew. I miss him when he’s not around but when he’s here under my supervision, I don’t miss him that much. I mean, he needs constant supervision. I can’t do anything else without watching him. He may fall, he may touch my stuff and break them. So I found helpful tools to occupy him. I am not proud of them as I know that I should be more of an aunty but they help.

When I’m exercising in the living room, I let him watch Telly Tubbies. I hate them and never liked them in fact I detest them. But guess what? They are handy at such times. When I turn the video on, he sits still on the couch and gets hypnotized.

The times I’m in my bedroom blogging. Some links help too like:
If he gets bored, I turn the music on and he starts dancing along these rhymes:
He loves old Mcdonalds a lot. I’m ok with this song cos it reminds me of my childhood, Telly Tubbies don’t.
You can also download the midis on your mobile incase you were on the run.

Here’s a list of baby songs with their lyrics
I don’t like teaching kids English before Arabic. They have to learn their mother tongue first but too bad we don’t have such facilities in Arabic.

I think Telly Tubbies are stupid. All what my baby learned is saying ba-bye and to laugh the way the sun-kid laughs. But I realized that I was just looking at it my own way. He enjoys them, so what’s the harm.

But comparing Barney to Telly Tubbies, Barney whom I also hate seems to be more educating. There are older kids who sing, jump and dance. So I recommend Barney too.

I hope these tips can help you in baby sitting.

One last tip, if you smell something awful, call his nanny. That’s when she becomes most handy.

Oh and one more thing, if the baby is a few months old, electronic rocking chairs make them dizzy and you can find them sleeping in less than five minutes.


Thank you Barney, Telly Tubbies and last but not least, Space toons for your hypnotizing help.
