Simply Aasia

And the rest of us sizeable creatures are anomalies. I am I had some pics taken yesterday with my friends and noticed that not only am I larger but the size difference is really big! I am not at a point where I can write unemotionally or unbiased about my looks and weight. But although there is still much venom, disdain and venom reflected at my image from me. I can't help but note that my friends love me enough to support me as is, and not a perception of what others want to see. More importantly I have fun with them and they dona't judge me. Thanks to Jenty  for the pics. Thanks to Bumpy for the tutu's! They are amazing To Kellen , Zahira , Denielle , Nafisa and Red John  So happy 30th old hag! you look utterly ridiculous  and totally happy! Guess which one I am? [yes, the bitch ruling the roost!]

I'm terrified that I will fail again and this time trying to not make a big deal out of it, but quietly doing my thing without trumpeting it to my friends. My work colleagues have been absolutely amazing in supporting me, even though at cerebra we are renowned for our ability to chow down. Things I got wrong this week: 1.

Not only that, men, now more than ever refuse to look beyond the surface of a woman to understand her, see her qualities! If men were chivalrous and treated woman with respect and dignity, most women I know would move heaven and earth to please that man.

What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look. Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.
