The Simple Life

No worries. This isn't going to be a post about the trials and tribulations of spoiled rich blond princesses with minute frou frou poodles that can fit into their Tiffany diamond encrusted Prada handbags. Instead, this post is gonna be about the simple things in life - courtesy of the ever charming Studly Shiong. Since I reputedly wailed outside his door like a screaming schoolgirl the last time he left me out of a meme, he has personally tagged me this time.

Top 10 Life's Simplest Pleasures
( in no particular order actually )


Manwatching10. Swaying in the late evenings to the cool sax of a jazz musician. Preferably with someone special but a solo act is acceptable.

9. Lazing away a Sunday afternoon on my daybed doing absolutely nothing flipping through the tv channels and dreaming impossible dreams - and the occasional wet one.

8. Having the plane touch down safely ( thanks to the efficient and sexy pilots :P ) on the grounds of a new, exciting destination. Not only are you whole, hearty and in one piece ( instead of burning into a cinder as the plane rushes to meet the ground or failing which, you're stranded LOST on a desert island with sexy Matthew Fox... which come to think about it, is quite alright actually ), your heart is beating beating double-time and your palms are sweating as you wonder just what awaits! The people! The sights! The tastes! The sales! :)

7. The sweet thrill of holding a new book in my hands. The sheer indescribable scent of freshly minted pages and the anticipation of opening new unimaginable vistas.

6. Taking a slow drive with someone you love - having your hands inadvertently touch and link together.

5. Realizing that you're off from work at a surprisingly early hour! Nothing like receiving sudden unlooked-for blessings. Imagine what experiences you can have as you sneak your way out of the office! The people! The sights! The tastes! The sales! :) Yeah, I am single-minded.

4. Finding that perfect purchase for a bargain basement price. The perfect fit of the perfect jeans. The beautiful cut of that Raoul shirt. The impossibly suitable addition to your home decor whether it's that maximalist bling bling chandelier or that Turkish rug.

3. Late night chats with a best friend, whether dissing the latest heartthrobs or discussing the latest scandalous on-dit at work.

2. Manwatching.

1. Waking up early in the morning to watch the man I love sleeping next to me.

Reading this, I just realized that I am kinda a sap :) A somewhat skanky sap but still, pretty much a sap.

Certainly a day for memes though since I just realized one of the sexy pilots mentioned above, Wingedman Willa, actually tagged me for one. Not sure how I could be classified as a potty-mouth though.

FOUR MOVIES YOU COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER:
How can I possibly decide!! Only four!
1. Any of the Lord of the Rings franchise for sure
2. Emma
3. My Fair Lady
4. Sound of Music

2. Penang
3. Kuala Lumpur

4. Sex and the City - I know it's gone but I still love it so much!

Not sure who I should tag but I guess everyone's welcome to join in the fourplay - since surely nothing is as enjoyable as a gay crowd enjoying some fourplay. Coincidentally, I am actually joining up with a gay crowd tonight though I seriously doubt that fourplay would be involved.

The best sale buy I ever made was a Fendi tea dress that fit as if it were custom made for me. A friend of mine pulled it off the sales rack. Original price $3000, sale price $800. I wore it out to a business dinner in Paris and various other events and lent it to my twin for her business parties. Its tough to come home and say, "Honey, I saved $2,200 on a dress today!"

I know! It's almost diabetic, idiot.

Can't put all my secrets in here after all, ceusm.

Good God, sue! What does that dress look like?!

True, we do have lots in common, sam :)

Seriously, Annieee... Chronicles of Riddick?!

Can't imagine live without mashed potato, canard. Certainly not worth living :)

Certainly showed my nasty side before so I'm not always a sap, cr.

Thanks, shigeki!

Nothing, cibetronic. My patients are safe. Everyone else is not.

So do I, clive!

The dress is a rayon/acetate blend fitted short sleve in a jaquard material with a long sleeve jacket. The dress cut is a sheath (I have a slim figure) with an empire waist and a scoop neckline. The jacket's tailored cut follows the dress precisely and the jacket's sleeves have a slight bell at the cuff. Overall the dress is white with tiny black floral design. You asked. You got. I hate to say it, but I look like a million bucks in it.

Annie said...

Sure Paul... Chronicles of Riddick: bad acting by actors but the concept of the plot is very cool.
