How Do You Like Your Eggs?

Julia Roberts's character in The Runaway Bride had different preferences on how her eggs were prepared for her partners. She liked scrambled with Billy, the sunny side up with Ethan, soft boiled with Ted etc. Her choice was based on the various types of guys she was with in her life. She tailored her wants to suit them. Came to a point where she couldn't even remember how she originally liked it.

Which got me thinking...are we like that too? Do you have many versions of yourself installed as the years have gone by? Do you have customised versions for different sets of people or for a certain someone? Or do you run on a similar version when 'show all users' are selected?

Those of us whose reaction varies according to a person or to a particular group tend to morph into what people want, what someone needs. We become emotion shifters. Changing our emotions to the responses we are expected to give. At the end of the day, we're concealing our real feelings, sinking our true self into subconsciousness and this suppressive behaviour won’t be very good for our emotional health I reckon.

This is why it’s important to find/be found by someone we can always be ourselves with and in this sense, not be worried about what he/she will think of us regardless of how we are. And if their still around after all the drama, the aggravation, the circus of dealing with us, we’ll know we’ve found a diamond in our life.


Talking about diamonds...

“True love begins with 321K diamonds…”

This is the tagline for the 321K ad that’s shown currently being shown at the cinemas. A pretty purple friend and I often say it out in unison. Just tickles us. As lame as it sounds we love it!

Hhmm, I shall rephrase it to my preference.

“True love begins with a 1K diamond…”

See, I don't ask for a lot! 1K will be enough :) Sigh, to own a 1K diamond ring would be simply sweeeeeeeet! Check out the sparkle in that gem! Of course, I won't marry any Tom, Dick or Harry who proposes with one. I have my standards. Mind you, luuuuurve has to be the order of the day first. Love + 1K = super duper sweeeeeeeet!

I know many guys who avoid the topic of diamonds altogether. It's a sacred word for them. They will avoid walking pass any jewellers with their girlfriend for fear that a hint will be thrown...a hint that cannot be ignored for the consequences are best avoided they say.

Guys, think of it as an investment with fruitful returns. Say it costs you 20,000, divide it by 50 years of marriage. That's only 400 bucks a year ok! The ROI will be enjoyed for a long term. She will be there for you...to have and to hold, for richer or poorer, in sickness and in health through it all; your middle age crisis, your sexual requests, your habit in not putting the toilet seat down after you're done, your obsession with football, your big belly, your comfortable ignorance of household responsibilities, your snoring etc. What's more, we might have to carry your future child/ children, your next generation, your inheritance for 9 long months and suffer the painstaking process of childbearing.

A pre-token of appreciation won't hurt I'm sure. Does the idea of the 1K ring make sense NOW?

God fashioned a Woman from the ribs of Man.

Not from his feet, because God never intended for her to be walked all over, nor from his head because the Woman was not made to look down or boss the Man about.

Woman came from the ribs. The closest place to a Man's heart.
