Just imagine...

Just imagine how it feels when someone who barely knows you...goes up to one of your very good friend and comments that you stink...

Just imagine how it feels when that same person also tells that friend that you are not the type someone would go for just because you are very quiet, unable to start a conversation well, seem to be unapproachable and is the type who is looking for commitment?!?!

Just imagine that same person telling your friend that you are a danger zone...n asks your friend to make sure he stays away from you...

I hardly know this guy. Only once did I ever talk to him...and that too not that much. We don't share much in common. So what on the earth am I supposed to talk to him about except for the common 'hi..how was your day' kind of thing. So after just that one day we kind of talked and seeing me around the whole place...he has the right to judge me like that???And not only that TELL one of your good friends what he thinks???

So I am quiet and unable to converse as well as some other people. So what???Does that make me a bad person????Does that make me unattractive???Not everyone can talk all the time...not everyone is able to converse extremely well...It might be a huge turn-off for him...but it doesn't mean that he has to tell someone that I am NOT the right type...He doesn't even know a thing about me....so who the hell is he to just judge me by whatever he "observes"???If he can say all that about me, then I can also say that his personality stinks!

Oh yea...apparently he also told my friend that I stink. For your kind information, I DO NOT stink. I have a very high standard for hygiene and I strictly follow that. My jacket is NOT smelly unlike some other people. I clean it quite regularly. If he smelled something then it is NOT from me. This I am hundred percent sure. And please, everyone has their own distinct scent-a light smell. If you mix them up with stink, that means something is definitely wrong with your nose!

Commitment...doesn't everyone look for commitment in relationships???Ok..so I am the type who prefers long-term commitment...so that is bad???If he doesn't like long-term, it doesn't mean that everyone hates long-term...

So if he can say all these about a person whom he HARDLY knows...just imagine what kind of LOSER he is. Instead of minding his own business, he is butting into others, giving advise when it is NOT needed. I, being a nice person, used to smile at him whenever I used to walk past him and this is the way he treats me. I feel insulted. I am happy with the way I am, thank you very much and if I get someone, that person would have to just like me the way I am. I can't be bothered with him anymore and therefore shall ignore him completely from now onwards.

The "SECRET" MISSION...

One fine monday night...in a dark, quiet location....which is unknown to most....four people gathered to discuss their latest "MISSION". As the mission was not easy, they had to work together. So they formed a group- a secret group. They called themselves the "EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE". Before I go any further....I would like to introduce the members: (Please note: these are their "codenames"....actual names are not allowed to be revealed)

THE GIRAFFE....known for his tall and thin stature....









THE BEAR....known for always getting hungry and being "cuddly"....





THE MONKEY...known for her hyperness and craziness....and last and not the least...







THE GOLDFISH...known for her uhh....big eyes and apparently "short memory"....


The MISSION: to plan the best birthday party ever for our dearest friend....

THE PIG....so called because she acts exactly like the pig in this picture...

Anyways, as we were known for our dedication and efficiency, we wasted no time to start on our mission...

PREPARATIONS:

MONDAY NIGHT: Discussed the overall picture of the birthday party. For example: Where will the party be held; how will it be celebrated; what time; the gifts...After which, we had a great meal and had a great time bonding....

TUESDAY NIGHT: We were chatting on MSN messenger and as it was getting confusing, we decided to meet in GIRAFFE's room. As MONKEY and GOLDFISH live quite near our friend PIG, we had to make an extra effort to be really really quiet as our friend has super sensitive ears and can make out our footsteps....

We met up in his room and discussed about where to get the gifts and who would buy the gifts. We started having a more detailed plan for the party...for example how to surprise her and all that...we also asked for help from our sources...

After which, we started talking and teasing each other...had late-night snacks...and had pillow fights...We were up the whole night and our meeting was over after having our breakfast.

WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON: MONKEY, GOLDFISH and BEAR went to buy gifts. MONKEY and GOLDFISH had to come up with some excuse as our friend was asking us a lot of questions...Spent the whole afternoon looking around shops and finding gifts and other party things like sparklers, plastic cups, napkins, packet of potato chips and etc...

THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING/NIGHT: Went to buy her cake- CHOCOLATE cake in the afternoon. We kept the cake in BEAR's place and after having dinner outside as BEAR was really hungry (as usual) we had to get the drinks...as our friend wanted tequila...we went to buy that and vodka for the others...

We came back quietly and hit the stuff in GOLDFISH's room...and after MONKEY and GOLDFISH entertained PIG for a while..as she was feeling really lonely since both of us kept disappearing...both of them, with helpers, started on wrapping the gifts and finishing up our "poster" kind of thing. At the end of everything, the four of us met up again in GIRAFFE's room just venting our frustrations and talking and teasing. Again we were up the whole night and we discussed our final plans before we parted.

FRIDAY NIGHT: THE NIGHT of the party...the four of us met up at BEAR's place to get the cake and drinks as all of them were kept in his fridge...and carried them back to our place. We, together with our helpers, started preparing for the party...someone brought his laptop down to play music; putting final touches to the "poster" kind of thing; water balloons; testing the sparklers etc etc...

Finally around 10pm, MONKEY and GOLDFISH went to get PIG down by using some stupid excuse hoping that she would buy it. We brought her downstairs and all the others were waiting for her downstairs with the cake. Her expression was priceless. She was completely surprised and she totally loved all the gifts. We could see that she enjoyed herself tremendously that day...we knew right then that we had succeeded in our mission

The MISSION had now come to an end. The four members had lots of fun doing this and we bonded really well during this whole mission. We had our difficulties and frustrations...but at the end of the day, all that mattered was the smile on PIG's face when she saw everything...We felt that it was worth all our time and energy...

After everything, the four tired members decided to take a break and wish that they would soon get their rewards for the good work done..*hint hint*...

A Smile...

A smile,
is all that is needed sometimes,
to show that everything is fine,
for that period of time.

But a smile,
also masks pain,
a pain,
that has remained,
for all this while.

A pain,
that is best left unexplained,
best left concealed,
no matter what others feel.

Others should understand,
that I would only reveal,
when I plan.

Though it hurts badly,
as I try to endure,
and obscure,
it's the only way,
that I can appear strong,
have my own say,
and live my life as I wished,
all along...
