Bad Timing


How can something bad be right?
Some things happen really fast that we don’t understand what just happened. Things can turn over night into a scary situation that leaves one confused and wonder how they got there. You ask around and no one can answer you.
Remembering all the mad things shared together; jokes, notes, tears, pictures, stories, experiences and laughs may just turn out to be a story in our historical lives. When stuck in a grey situation, you’re left with one foot in and the other at the door. Confused on whether to go or to stay because you know you want to stay but the situation doesn’t allow.
When you see things are perfect then they don’t work out…just know that’s BAD TIMING.
You are left with two choices,
Either left weighing options if your heart has been put on the shelf…time to walk out of the door.
Or you could take a leap of faith and wait for them to come around.

In such situations you do realize that even though you love someone, you’re scared of getting hurt and tend to curl up and hide away from them. It’s a normal characteristic but if its really meant to be, you’d be strong enough to give the other person their time and space. Because it’s the right place, person and you can give them everything. It’s just that the TIMING IS WRONG!...


I was so close to you,
Gave you my everything,
Wanted to be #1,
But I think the best thing is to give you your space,
Say goodbye,
The situation is too crazy,
Being in the grey,
Wasn't that healthy,
Because this was just bad timing. 

My Pancake...


First time I met you, you were definitely a no go zone.
RED ALERT…not even a double gaze was even accomplished.
Years later, I realized I needed to get the guts to try you when you passed my way,
This time round, it would be different…HARD TO GET was the game card.
Little did I know that you would play a tighter game than I would.
EGO
EGO
EGO
Was the one word that would describe our chemistry.
We would never get the mixes right,
We would never get the amounts right either.
Would keep me up all night n day trying to get it right.
After so many attempts, I almost got it right.
I knew what not to add,
Reduce,
Change,
And dismiss.
And suddenly, it all exploded in my face.
After all those attempts, sacrifices, and time put into it,
I have to accept,
It was such a bad timing,
BAD TIMING FOR A PANCAKE BATTER
Clearly I wasn’t ready.

FRIENSHIP...MONEY


Ever considered friendship to be like money?
You win some.
You lose some.
Bring happiness to others.
Miserable misfortune to some.
Some are like notes…easily tear…others are like hard coins! GOLDEN TO BE PRECISE.
When looking at currencies and how they evolve over the years, we tend to see some of them losing market and value. The ironic thing about that is that after awhile, those currencies eventually start gaining value… The older the existence, the more it increases in value. People even collect currencies for such reasons. Sounds odd but is very true.
And funny enough, same applies to our friendships.
Just like when you get a new note from the bank, you don’t wanna use it coz its crispy fresh and you want to keep it for awhile…then you eventually use it or it goes…some friendships are like that…when fresh…we are super excited and all over the place and they tend to over shadow the ones that we already have…after the note is gone is when you realize… “oh wait a min I still have you around” the old ragged note that you hide in your wallet for no one to see… or you get rid of them after awhile you realize its true value.
Some friendships are super fragile, under pressure, they break (Notes tear) and others still hold on…may get dented but they still struggle to stay intact till the end (Coins).
Most people would term themselves to be coins… PLEASE DON NOT LIE TO YOURSELF…how many friendships have you formed, broke, walked away from and moved on with your life? How many new notes do you have in your wallet that are now old that you have to hold them together with tape? (It’s ok take a peek, I won’t look or judge you, promise)
But that’s how life is… some notes make you happy but when you lose them you come to realize they weren’t worth keeping comparison to an ancient one that has added value in your life and the old note that has tape all over it…
Challenge, how many people would you say are worth to be taped notes and dented coins in comparison to the new shiny notes and coins you have in your wallet of life?

LOVE HATE FOOD


FOOD….
What does food do to you?
Other than the normal things, like sustain life, make you stronger…you know the normal cliché?
For me, I LOVE HATE food and this is the reason why.
LOVE
Just like everyone else around the world, food makes you stronger, healthier, gives you the energy and the list goes on.
It also makes me happy. When I’m stressed and really upset, I usually bake. Well most of you may think that I bake like comforting cake and all…actually NO! I bake and then give it out to my friends. No charges. No costs. No nothing. FOR FREE. Most of them get super excited coz of this and bug me time and time again to bake for them. Others go to the extent of pissing me off...just to get cake…bizarre but it’s true...many can testify to it…no idea why but chocolate cake is what I relieve my stress on…NOT EATING THOUGH…
I love CHOCOLATES…which gal doesn’t? But I love mine with nuts, caramel or a biscuit in it…now there...you got a loco gal with a huge sweet tooth.
I gatta keep the doc away, so fruits are now my friends…I’m a sucker for citrus fruits, berries and my FAV APPLES
I’m a JUNKIE…I usually have the most random cravings that most of the time people think I’m 247 pregnant…like the other day, I had my crave evolve from a strawberry slushy to caramelized popcorn to tacos  to passion white forest cake to potato salad. Who moves from such cravings? But the most amazing thing about cravings is that when you satisfy them, they tend to subdue…men out there, I do feel bad on your behalf when your wife or girlfriend is expectant and you have to dash out in the middle of the night to get whatever she wants…I surely do sympathize with y’all and at the same time feel pity for my future hubby… J hey but love does work everything out right?
Fav soft drink would def be MOUNTAIN DEW…This is….I actually can’t explain it…from the packaging to the tingly feeling I get on my tongue when I take the first sip of a really chilled mountain dew…AAAA… I once tried mixing it with something else…and the response I got on my taste buds were “don’t be stupid! You can never do that and never try that again”. Another fav fluid of mine would def be H2O. PERIOD. How can I forget fresh passion, orange, mango juice… #bliss
My favorite part about food is ITS DIVERSITY ALL AROUND THE GLOBE…as in each state or country has its own special recipe that may be similar to the people next door but is totally different.
HATE
I’m just like those lil kids we see who don’t like veggies. I do love certain veggies but there are others that are just….same applies to some meat products. Despite been healthy and all, YUCK. I think it boils down to how it’s made and presented.
I hate BAD TASTING FOOD that is COLD, DRY AND HARD…especially fried foods.
The one thing I hate about food…all around the world, we have people who dispose food carelessly, leave food to spoil, act like gluttons and serve too much yet there are people out there somewhere who have nothing. Children suckling on their mothers dried up boobs not knowing that their mother is dead. People fighting each other just to get a share of food before it run out. It’s really painful and saddening when you see the less fortunate ravaging through trash cans just to get something to sustain them…
Food is meant to bring people together… people share meals as a bond… food is a bond… so let us come together and help the less fortunate… instead of overflowing your plate with food that you can’t finish, take the right amount for that one sitting and if it isn’t enough, go for second helpings. (And anyhu don’t people have etiquette manners?) When you go for shopping, buy dry products and place them in charity cartons if not put money in the charity tins. As for street urchins, instead of leaving them hungry and out in the cold, at least spare a cent and buy for them a sandwich if not cup of tea or loaf of bread.

LET’S MAKE A CHANGE!
