MEMOIRS OF A SCORNED LOVE PART 1


It was 6 a.m., the chirpings of the birds woke her up and Trish was glad that what she woke up from was only a bad dream and not reality, she was covered in sweat even though the air conditioner was still on and working. There he was, lying beside her, still deeply asleep, she stared at him in admiration, he was still as handsome as he was when they first met, his snores have now become music in her ears, she lets out a weak laugh as she remembers their first night together and how she used a pillow to cover her ears from his loud snores.  “How and when did he change so much? “, “what can I do to bring back the Jake I fell in love with?” she asked rhetorically.   “Wake up girl! Get out of bed and go get the day started, you don’t want Jake to wake up to meet you in bed at this time” she told herself as she sprang up and out of the bed into the bathroom.

Breakfast was ready and served just as Jake got to the dining table, Trish looked up and gave him a warm smile “Hi Baby, good morning. Did you sleep well?”, “Morning Trish, what’s for breakfast? I’m running late already” he responded quickly. She felt a bit disappointed, all she hoped for was a kind smile back. “Oats and scrambled eggs, just the way you like it” she responded with a grin. A few minutes later, they were both on their way to work in separate cars, she missed the days they went to work together and he would drop her off before heading to his office which was just a few blocks down the street from hers.

 She looked forward with enthusiasm to her day at work as she pulls into the parking lot of the company where she worked as a sales executive. Here, she gets a smile back without making an extra effort to impress anyone, her colleagues have become her second family. Just watching everyone go about their daily activities was unusually fascinating to her, this was one of the very few places she could relax and completely be herself, Life didn't seem so fair but she was thankful still.

The hours went by so fast Trish did not realize so much time has passed already, she glanced at her watch and screamed in dread “6:45pm already?” why did the day end so soon she thought, She would give anything to extend the work hours so she won’t have to get home early. “Ah Ah, it’s not that bad Trish” she shrugged as she packed her bag, shut down her computer and walked to the car park. The very pleasant head of company security smiled as he uttered a “good night Ma” just as she drove out of the premises. She prayed silently, “Dear God, please don’t let this evening be another disaster”.

SEX & THE PHYSICALLY/MENTALLY CHALLENGED

Image
I had a conversation with a friend of mine a couple of weeks ago and after that I took a while to think if I should write something on this or not. What triggered that conversation was that, a crippled woman on a wheel chair pulled up beside my car in traffic asking for alms; She had an obviously malnourished child who should be about two years old with her and was clearly pregnant with another child. My big rhetorical question was "What kind of person would do this to this woman?" Every now and then we hear stories of physically and mentally challenged people being sexually abused especially the people with mental disabilities, they are raped, maltreated and neglected, sometimes by the very people who are supposed to protect them. They are sometimes left at the mercies of strangers and the cycle of abuse and uncertainties continue. I know that people with disabilities whether physical or mental also have sexual needs because they are human beings with emotional

TAKE A BREATHER, WILL YOU?

It's a casual Tuesday for me Guys, no thanks to my drycleaner 😩😳😞😞 So,  as I was trying to come up with a simple, casual ensemble to wear out this morning, my house keeper walks into my room with my wig all brushed up nicely and handed it over to me, she saw the look of despair on my face as she handed it to me,  and quietly dropped the wig on my dressing table. I told her after dressing up, that I do not want any wigs, extensions or attachments on my hair for a few days , at least until the coming week, "let my hair and scalp breathe",  I said. Sometimes in life, we get to face disappointments, failures or some quite unpleasant situations and try to do all we can to cover for them or at least pretend like they didn't happen or we didn't go through them, and sometimes, we get so worked up over them that we loose our inner peace, sleep and the zest for our passion, dreams, or even life itself. Challenges come, but great times also come too.

FASHION TIPS FOR CURVY GIRLS

Image
In case you don't know yet, size 10 is the new size 6. Being curvy is OK but you need to wear the right stuff and understand that not all latest fashion trends are suitable for curvy girls. We create our own unique style and baby we look hot in it! For my curvy ladies, here are a few tips that could help. Wear dresses that accentuate your best features. You do not want the stomach area to make you look like you are pregnant when you are not . Chose your fabrics carefully, stretch fabric is a good option. Do not hide yourself under a shapeless gown or big skirts. Avoid too many drapes , layers or ruffles on your dresses. Keep it simple, classy and chic. Make Up: Be bold with your make up but make sure you use the right colors, blending colors are still very trendy and gloss really works for pretty curvy girls. Your mascara, blush, red lipsticks should always be close to you (in your bag always if possible). Your Hair: Your hair speaks volumes about you, Keep
