One Of Those Days

*It is one of those days… When everything seems Perfect*



Whoa. Am in high spirits. Just loving this world. It’s quite a hot day, am sprawled on my bed, the ceiling fan goes *xhmm xzmzh..*… something like that.
My brothers, as usual, are being hell noisy. TV set on full volume *thunder… THUNDER… thunder thunder cats!* And yet am smiling.
My mum is glaring at me, coz I missed uni, and today was my viva. I should be worried.. Should be feeling guilty (as I did wake up in the morning, set the alarm to snooze and then went ZzZZzzzzzZ).
Am humming One Heart (Celine Dion’s) loudly. I don’t at all sound like her, but it doesn’t matter. Who cares if my brothers are making faces at me? Smirking and whatsoever. I feel like singing.. Flying *if only I’d wings* … *wish wish*
Books on the desk are staring at me, silently shouting “You, yes YOU! Study us, you duffer” Like I ever listen to them. Duh.
Not talking to my friend, okay, my friend is NOT talking to ME. I think it’s THE END. Usually I’d be in an awfully awful mood. But not today… Today is unusual! Weird. Nice weird. *smile!*

*little miss sunshine*

Nice movie, isn’t it? Do whatever you want to. I know am 18 and still watching kiddies movies... But hey they are fun, and light. I can’t watch Troy, Ghajni, Mission impossible and all. I stick with tween teen stuff.

Hey you heard, in the remake of Bonnie and Clyde, Hilary duff is staring? Goody! ^^ I like her movies.

Umm.

This took only 8 minutes… and the whole day is right in front of me. *what to do?* Study? Nah… I think I’d go and call my friend… Feel like having some chatter.

*One of those days... When everything seems Perfect*


P.S. I know I’ve written this in a weird way. But, oh well. ^^

Smile Wide, Smile Bright

Lisa usually woke up with a big smile on her face but not on that Monday morning. Everything seemed to be going wrong. Firstly she’d this nightmare in which she was lost in a dessert, dying from hunger and thirst, and about fifty camels chasing her. Secondly, when she was getting up from her bed, she slipped and bruised her knee. Thirdly while slipping; she also managed to break her precious china doll into thousands of pieces. Grumbling and muttering, trying to avoid further accidents, she went to brush her teeth. Usually after brushing her teeth she’d flash a quick smile at the mirror, admiring herself. But, of course, not on that morning. Today she just stood in front of her mirror and saw an ugly creature staring back at her, a creature who was scowling, eyes narrowed, with its lips slipped downwards.
‘This is me,’ she announced sadly to herself ‘I never knew I look like this ugly’ feeling hopeless already she began to feel sad too. Running the comb through her brown bushy hairs, she picked up her school bag. Before going downstairs she glanced at her reflection once again.
‘Oh Lisa, don’t frown like that,’ a voice like that of cartoons cried, making her jump.
‘Who’s this?’ Lisa looked around herself; sure that someone was playing a trick on her.
‘Your mirror!’ the voice chuckled ‘Stop scowling like that and smile, will you? You’re not at all ugly’
‘Don’t lie to me whoever you’re, my reflection says it all,’ she replied sadly, and frowned even deeper.
‘You don’t believe me, do you?’ the mirror said, bleakly ‘You’re quite pretty when you smile. But if you want to look like this forever, then I can’t stop you’ Mirror went silent.
‘But I don’t want to look like this!’ Lisa exclaimed helplessly.
‘You don’t?’ Mirror asked solemnly.
‘Yes, I don’t!’ Lisa exclaimed exasperatedly.
‘Then smile!!’ the mirror was cheerful again.
She looked backed at her refection. Indeed she was frowning deeply.
‘Smile,’ the mirror encouraged. Lisa obeyed and smiled. That was the Cinderella Moment. The ugly creature in the mirror suddenly turned into a pretty little girl.
‘Oh, Mirror! You’re right; I’m not ugly at all!’ Lisa exclaimed happily.
‘Yes, Lisa you’re not,’ Huh? This wasn’t Mirror. She looked over her shoulder and saw her mum standing on the door.
‘Hurry up, your brothers waiting’ her mum frowned deeply, her hands on her hips ‘you’re going to be late’
Lisa hugged he mum ‘Don’t frown, mum! It doesn’t suit you at all. Smile!’ her mum laughed at this and hugged Lisa back. ‘Now come downstairs!’ she pecked Lisa on her cheek and smiled. ‘Yes, coming in a moment,’ Lisa turned to face the mirror: ‘Mirror, mirror! Hanging on the wall. Who’s the beautiful of all?’ ‘Ho ho, ho ho’ the mirror laughed loudly like Santa Claus but said nothing. ‘Oh well, I think I’m beautiful!’ Lisa smiled grandly and went downstairs. ‘That’s the spirit!’ the mirror yelled after her.

How many times in a day you tell yourself that you’re ugly? Many times? Sometimes, I do too. In real life, no mirror is going to tell us that we look good when we smile. We’ll have to tell that ourselves. Many people don’t smile because they wear braces and are afraid that they’ll get teased but I think a person wearing braces and smiling widely is downright awesome! Smiling not only makes you look cute but it also makes you look friendly, it’s one of the best ways to approach someone! You smile and the world will smile with you! So, guys keep smiling and cheering... And don’t scowl and frown, they don’t suit you at all!
