what's wrong with the picture?

ok, i promised myself that i will not do it. one of this year's resolution, if you must, although not making a resolution was also one of this year's resolution but looks like i broke that one in a hurry, so, i'm not going to fret too much about breaking my next one either.

i am a virgo, what do you expect? i could be diplomatic and easy-going if i was born a few days later, but then again, what's the fun in reading the blog of a non-angsty perfectly-balanced-scale fence-sitter? i am critical, to be sure, so sue me.

walking up to the counter was this beautiful woman, dressed to the nines. she stands behind the counter for some time, talking to the person behind it. she is a vision for sore eyes. her hair perfectly set, her handbag branded, her clothes impeccable, her hands adorned with jewelleries, her foot...... dangling shoe-less?!

another scenario. a lady and a man, having lunch at a restaurant. their heads were bent together, their faces lit up with happiness. they chat softly and laugh loudly. ahhhh, a picture of bliss. you look under the table, and one of her foot is dangling shoeless. she isn't toeing him under the table, if that was what you were thinking. apparently, she is just 'breathing' one of her foot.

many women do that. i don't understand why. stand on one shoe and let the other lie forlornly like a collapsed heap on the floor whilst the foot does a robinson crusoe expedition around the world. not that i have anything against letting the foot do a little roaming and adventuring, but it seems inappropriate. a waste of a good picture, the top half anyway. incomplete. a ravishing beauty with a rickshaw puller's legs.

there. i've said it. i got it off my chest. otherwise it will gnaw at me until i am a nervous wreck, hands shaking, body shivering, eyes twitching. i've said my piece. i can once again look at a shoe-less lady without going crazy and having to pop my sedatives like m&m's. not like it's any of my business to begin with.

now i can go back to trying to be less critical of others. good luck on that.
