Why haven't you stopped talking?

.I love to talk. And I can talk a lot

I don't think it is a bad thing, even though I know some of my friends might disagree. The same friends who complain that I talk too much beg me to come to brunch 'cause it's not as much fun when I am not there.

:So yes I talk a lot, but I think I know when I have to really shut up. When the person next to me 
is reading or writing or even coloring a book
 is sleeping
 has headphones on or earplugs

             
I know you are thinking this is totally logical and doesn't deserve a post, but it does because yesterday, as I was typing on my Ipad in the park, minding my own business, this person next to me would not stop with questions: What are you doing? (Seriously?) What kind of writing? What's your favorite book? Do you think you will ever finish this book?

 Well not if you do not stop with all your questions M'am.

She did. But not for long. The minute I would get back to my initial concentration, she would ask another question. Is it easy to get published? Why are you in England? What does your boyfriend do?

NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! was what I wanted to say. But I didn't want to be rude. However, I did want to teach her a lesson about asking too many questions so when she asked to see a picture
the boyfriend, I said YES and I showed her this picture of a very unattractive guy that I had saved on my Ipad for some blog post. It was priceless.

She tried to mumble something in the realm of "he is cute" and she walked away. Mission accomplished -:)

What have you done to get rid of someone who was asking too many questions aside from putting headphones in? It obviously doesn't work.

Let me know in the comment box below ... And if you are curious to know if you talk too much, or just want a good laugh, check out this WIKIHOW article. The article is not half bad, but the pictures they pick are just terrible. So terrible that it's funny.

Joshua Tree: the perfect spot to DISCONNECT

Image
Joshua Tree has always been on my list and by always, I mean since last August when I moved to Cali and started mapping out mini adventures in my new home state. So I guess always might be an exaggeration, but I get a little anxious and impatient when it comes to traveling and exploring.  So after cancelling Joshua Tree in November because of an ear infection, and December being crazy busy, I was super hopeful for January. But my hopes were shattered, and Joshua Tree started to become more and more like a dream that would never come true.  Perhaps another person would have thought it wasn’t meant to be - but like i said before, when it comes to traveling, I am pretty tenacious. So finally on the last day of February, with much juggling of my work schedule and some crazy luck, I made it to Joshua Tree and woke up to this beautiful sunrise on the 1st day of March.  The perfect way to start the month, don’t you think?  We entered the park t...

Imagine dating your computer

Image
Saturday night I went to the theater and saw the movie " HER " by director Spike Jonze and I have to say, even though I liked the movie, it could have been better if someone had introduced us before hand. I could have made it better because we could have used stuff from my book . This is the part where you think I am super full of himself for saying that a Hollywood director should collaborate with me. You might even wonder: did she really write that and go back to read the paragraph again. Don't bother. I did. You didn't misread. But I promise I am not full of myself. I loved the movie. It was brilliant. If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a quick synopsis: a lonely almost divorced guy writes love letters for a living but cannot seem to communicate with the people around him. He then falls in love with his OS. Sadly OS is not some sort of code for Obnoxious Secretary, it is an operating system. The man falls in love with his computer, who ends ...

Rude or not?

A few weeks ago, a flight attendant working with me on a flight to India approached me and asked if she could ask me a personal question. "Sure," I replied. "Don't get me wrong, you are beautiful," she said. I remember thinking "wow it is starting really good - what will follow is going to be really bad." But it wasn't. She noticed I had acne and knew of a treatment to fix it. I laughed and told her to relax. Why would I be offended? I was thankful, and if you ever had acne, you can relate because you probably tried a million of creams and lotions, which all failed, so even a glimpse of  hope meant something. And that's exactly what Carmen gave me: HOPE. However when a stranger approached me yesterday with his business card and said to call him because he had something that would fix my skin, I was a little annoyed. I felt that it was out of place for a stranger to mention anything about my skin or anything else for that matter....
