I thought this was funny

Making ‘Broanies’

Beni has an exam tomorrow and we thought it would be a great time to make brownies during the course of which there were several interesting moments-

“Cough” (pronounced ‘cuff’)

“Pissa” (Pizza as a Mallu would say it)

“You have so much ‘cuff’, you should go to the Ee-yen-dee (ENT)”

“The Quoon (queen) has a cuff, let’s give her a blaanget (blanket) and a kuilt (quilt) and then take her to an Ee-yen-dee”

“Spaagatti” (Spaghetti)

“oh there’s a creamy inside” (Dont ask me.. Ask beni)

“Let’s mix the creamy with the brownie”

“CooCoombur” (Cucumber)

“Creamy cuff”

“My cuff tasted weird”

“How do I make my cuff taste creamy?”

“Skin treatment is rubbing creamy and brownie mix on skin”

“Otri beautifull”

The brownies were pretty good. A little too “creamy” maybe but still good.

Update

-I had a six year old girl come up to me at my agency, give me a hug and tell me that she loved me. All because I offered her a glass of juice.
I almost didnt want to let her go.

- I find waking up every morning such an ordeal. I lay in bed debating whether getting up and making the hour and a half journey to placement is really worth it.

- Beni is drowning in school- readings, group projects and exams. I almost never see her anymore.

- For some reason, people are directed to my blog while searching for ‘thendi’. WHY?!!

- Nothing else to say

Mirror Mirror, Lie to me.

In the past few months, I have grown to hate mirrors. I wasn’t particularly in love with them before but now I depise them. Why? Because a mirror tells you the truth. It shows you what you want to hide from, everything that you don’t want to see. It shows you what everyone else can see. I don’t see the young, happy girl I used to be. Instead, I see someone that I never wanted to become. I never thought I’d be here. I always thought that I would someday win the battle against fat and wake up one morning looking amazing. But now I realize that my body is fighting to make sure that never happens. Unfortunately, this particular disease/syndrome/disorder/whatever the heck you want to call it doesn’t show when you look at me. All you see is someone who is now a lot larger. And you immediately want to tell her that she needs to eat healthy and exercise daily and “encourage” her with your words of wisdom.
Thank you. Very VERY much.

I did want to come home in August but I’m rethinking it.

I just want to be here in a dark room without mirrors.

Spring and Beni are both here!

-The weather has been so beautiful today. It was pleasantly warm in the morning and then it started to rain by the time I left placement.. and it hasnt stopped since. Reminds me so much of home.

-Beni is finally in Toronto! She’s moving in tomorrow morning… I can barely believe this is actually happening. Part of me feels like I am in some elaborate dream.

- In Beni’s honour, I changed the look of my room. I moved the furniture around.. Did some cleaning. Still havent gotten a chance to organise. ugh.. I like the way I have it arranged for now. Its cosy. Maybe I’ll put up pictures at a later date.

- After all the room decorating and cleaning, its past 1 am and as always I am sitting here awake, writing a blog post.

- Time to go watch Lost.

Rain rain rain rain. *sigh*
