7 Reasons To Turn Down A Marriage Proposal

Image credit

Not that they are all relevant to me, of course, but I felt compelled to write this out because I am sort of trying to pin down the character for one of stories. She's the high-flying, arrogant everyday b*t*h in the corporate world.

And she's so beautiful that she's got at least one suitor to every piece of item in her closet...and that is a lot. I know cause I created this lunatic. And every now and again, she rejects someone. So, this list is hers. I don't have a name for her yet, so....here goes.

Why she turns down the men who have proposed to her in the past.

  1. You're a superstar

    I really was kidding when I said I would get into Brad Pitt's pants if he were right here in front of me. Well, actually, I think I would. But seriously, would YOU marry a superstar? Er, not by a long shot, hun. I would if you were Tiger Woods because you would shag everything (OTHER THAN ME) in your line of sight (because you can and should) and then I get to wrangle every possible cent I can from you in a divorce settlement.... If you are ultra-rich celebrity who does not shag around, buzz off.

  2. You've got no imagination/humor.

    Might as well marry a blank piece of paper. And I've already got plenty of those. I like to laugh. I like people who makes me laugh. I hate being bored and don't like to pay for entertainment.

  3. If you think phone sex is hot...

    Er....this one would keep me awake night after night after night after night, I am assuming. What is wrong with the real thing, anyway? Some men just like to goof off in the middle of the night or something and they think it's so damn hot that they have you on the phone and they're staring at page 35 of a Playboy magazine. Blergh....they have no life. Go get one. And no, that thing in your pants is not your saving grace.

  4. You are so full of yourself

    Yes, you might think you want to marry me but hell, I know you want to marry me because you want to use me as a ladder so that you can not only be the center of YOUR universe, but the center of mine as well. Shove off! I am the center of EVERYONE's universe.

  5. Rude to other people

    (this part is a lot me) I am not talking about freely cursing madcap drivers on the road or showing people his middle finger. I am talking about people who ignore you when you talk to them (by nodding or brooding, thinking that you know what they are thinking) and also people who don't know how to say 'thank you', 'excuse me', 'sorry' (especially sorry), 'welcome', etc. I've had my fair share of people who thinks I am deaf too because for some reason, they bellow instead of talk.

  6. If he has ten cats, eight hamsters, 5 roosters, 11 fishes and 1 dog living in his house

    You are probably asking me to marry you because you want someone to help you clean up poop in your house. Sorry, mate, you are feeling up the wrong skirt. I don't even have a broom.

  7. Barking up the wrong tree.

    Simple. I don't love you. I don't even like you, and yet, you are always hanging around me waiting for bits and pieces of my life that I might throw at you. You are so pathetic. I don't dig you. You dig that or else.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...
