Let's talk about Pet Peeves. Most people know I'm friendly, warm, fun-loving with a sense of humor. LOL! But we all have some things that annoy us and these are the things that really bugs me, big time! My Top Pet Peeves are... 1)Lateness
OK, fashionable late is fine for some events. But sorry, I just can't stand people who are chronically late for everything! No one likes to wait. It's a terrible habit and they are always full of excuses! Well, time is precious and if you don't know what time is it? You need a watch. 2)Oversharing On Social Media / Flooding The Feeds So you got a new car, a new house and a new sweetheart, that's awesome! The next thing you see their posts/pictures flooding everywhere and every day. Roger! we got your attention loud and clear. 3) Poor Customer Service Customers are important. No one likes to be served with a bad attitude. Bad service brings bad reputation.(Duh!)
4) Skinny People Who Keep Saying They Are Fat This has to be my top biggest pet peeve. Hey sweetie, people can see that you are not fat.Telling everyone that you are fat is not going to make you slim anyway. If you are truly unhappy with your body, hit the gym, change your diet or do something. Attention seekers are never cool! 5) Lying & Empty Promises Everyone hates liars. If you have promised something, keep your words! If you can't be sure, then don't promise anything. I appreciate honesty a lot and I think honesty is the new sexy! 😘
6) Spammers
No one like to wake up to find 50 to 200 unread messages on their emails and WhatsApp...Wow! What's the commotion?
7) Shaking Legs I wonder why some people love shaking their legs. It looks so tiring and very unpleasant, not cute at all... 8) Chewing Food & Talking At The Same Time Pardon? Sorry? I can't hardly hear what they are saying with a mouth stuffed with food...I am more worried that they might choke on their food. Please take your time to swallow your food before you speak. 9) Cutting In Line Try standing for hours queuing for your favorite Bak Kwa (aka BBQ Jerky) and someone suddenly cut in the queue because they are 'in a hurry'. Hey stranger, try a better excuse next time! 10) Not Picking Up Calls Other than those unknown, suspicious callers and scam calls, etc.. (Ignore those calls) There must be a reason someone calls you. Please pick up the phone because it could be something urgent and important...Then why carry a phone when you don't intend to answer them? 11) Standing In The Middle Of The Crowd Or Walkway Don't you just hate it when someone stands right in the middle of a shopping crowd or the walkway, blocking the way and talking on their phone, moving so slowly as though no one exists? Very inconsiderate! 12) PDA (Public Display of Affection)
I'm totally cool with PDA and love expressions. (Awww...) I think it's kinda sweet but if the couple is overdoing it...Ok Lovebirds! Please get a room...and if you are in school uniforms, I'll be worried for you, kid!
13) Posting/Tagging Photos Without Your Consent
This is just rude! I respect privacy. Well, not everyone like sharing their personal photos to the world and why do they always have to tag those unglamorous photos? Oh geez!... 14) Channel Surfing It is so annoying when someone starts switching channels every few minutes when I'm watching a show. Please stop, my eyes hurt!
15) Bullies
Bullying is wrong and I have a low tolerance for any form of bullying...Be kind always, Peace! ✌
...So that's about all but don't worry, I'm still a nice person overall.😙 Hey, let me know what are your pet peeves?Comment below or write to me. Till then, stick around lovelies! 😎 Blogger Mommywarrior77
Someone asked, "What Is Your Definition Of Beauty?"Ah, good question!
In my early teens, I used to think that beauty means being slim, tall, having a nice body, good complexion, beautiful hair, good looks, etc... like the supermodels you find on fashion magazines & posters. Without a doubt, these women are gorgeous, stylish and I've always admired those fashion models doing the runway, dressed in cool designer outfits...Wow! they rock the stage, how glamorous!
But as I mature into my adulthood, interacting with different people in life have broadened my perspective about beauty today...
We all heard stories about young girls starving themselves, bulimia, crash dieting, skipping meals, doing many crazy stuff..just to be as slim like the models, because the society still view a slim body as beautiful and unfortunately... some people died while trying to lose weight! While it is not wrong to achieve your goals to be beautiful and to look your best (who doesn't?) but what is beauty if you lost your health/life? I have to confess that I am one of those girls who tried crash dieting! (once) Yeah! I was a chubby teen in school, struggling with a weight problem and I'm sick of all the nasty name callings and in order to lose weight fast, I tried a diet plan and I ate ONLY fruits for 3 days and nothing else! Did it work? Naah..forget it! I felt so weak, lethargic and got sick in the end. It was a horrible experience for me so I figured that maybe such diet just doesn't work for people like me who love food,lol but I have friends who achieved good results with some diet programs but personally, I never believe in diets, (no thanks!) but that's just me! 😉
Though I may not be a Size 2 or have that perfect figure but I have lost some weight over the years. I am more active now and I feel energetic! I got many compliments from friends and even strangers too, and it definitely made me feel more confident about myself and I am happy the way I am today! Well, I think as long as you take some efforts to groom yourself, you can still look hot, cool and feel great even when you don't have the perfect body! It makes me really sad whenever I hear stories about girls starving themselves, who think they are fat & ugly because their boyfriends/partners think they need to lose weight. No offense and no hard feelings ok, but honestly, I would dump those guys! 😝 Look! If the dude only cares about your looks and your body, he's not a keeper! C'mon, who needs someone to keep reminding that you are imperfect and making you feel ugly! While being confident and happy about yourself, it doesn't mean you should eat whatever you like and gaining more weight? No! That's not the point! Excessive eating and obesity are definitely NOT encouraged for good health reasons but having some curves doesn't make you ugly! My point is, no one should be shamed for their body size. I strongly believe in self-love, self-care, living a healthy lifestyle and most importantly, do not compare yourself with anyone because I think everyone is unique and beautiful in their own ways. It took me a while to understand that true beauty isn't only about your body shapes and your appearance, etc.. Indeed, there are beauty inside and out! Perfection is a myth, so learn to love yourself, be who you are and appreciate the beauty you possess! We should focus on living healthy and keeping fit instead of trying to fit into a pair of skinny jeans or that mini-skirt but make you feel miserable, unhappy and hungry all day! Beauty isn't about how much you weigh or what you wear! Live for yourself and not what others want you to be!
I agree that looks are important for most people, having good looks does score points in the society. However, sometimes, we may set our expectations too high and keep focusing on our flaws instead of the strength and the beauty that we have. Check out the videos below and I think all women/everyone should watch this...
Beauty to me is being comfortable and confident for who you are! Happy girls are the prettiest and kind people are the most beautiful! For me, "There are no real ugly people in the world, only ugly personalities" ~ Mandy Law
There is beauty in everyone, don't let society define you that you forgot about your own beauty and style! Keep in mind that you are beautiful, you are unique, you are enough! 😎 Share this post to all the beautiful humans! 💖
