This Girl is a little over five months pregnant and she’s had what The Mother terms a “neat” pregnancy. From the back, she pretty much looks the same, her arms, face, legs and general overall body size has remained the same. Ok, ok, the boobs are fuller but no one complains about that, really. But [...]

People have asked This Girl and The Boy if they know if they are expecting a girl or a boy. And when they say they have no idea and wish to be surprised at the end of the pregnancy journey people think they’re nuts.
But seriously, there’s a certain fun-ness with not knowing. And, truth is, [...]
iphone nonsense
Posted in Life in the Town House, funnies, the boy, tagged iphone on July 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
As blogged before, The Boy has the new iphone which this girl openly secretly covets. And this is where the weirdness of the whole situation.
1. The Boy goes out with his phone less- apparently, it, being bigger than his previous Nokia makes it “inconvenient” to put in his pocket. Whe out together, this girl has [...]

The Made in China label has gained its fair share of fame and noteriety. Along with her ability to reverse engineer almost anything- if you give them two weeks with a product, they’d be able to create an almost replica for you. And of course, in light of that, its burgeoning imitation goods market: bags, [...]

This girl and The Boy were unfortunate guests at a friends wedding recently where they literraly bit their lip for most part of the wedding.
It was a gaudy wedding with a clash of off-bridal colours- seriously, unless its on a pair of fraternal twins, its never really ok to have baby pink and baby blue [...]

1. The “Shut up and Sit down” moment
(Video here) Near the start of the meeting as the crowd [...]

This girl and The Boy were out headed to dinner when they passed a jeans shop along the way. Dr Denim, the sign outside read in mild neon lights; all round half naked models posed in jeans. Cuffed ones, ripped ones, wide shots of cute boy lazing on the beach, tight shot of low rise [...]

red dress + white boots = big trouble
Posted in adventure, friends, funnies on February 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »
The dress looked normal enough. It didn’t show skin. It wasn’t figure hugging. It needed a belt to even look remotely alright. It was a nice dress. A pretty dress. A red dress. It seemed nice enough on the mannequin. It looked nice enough on her when this girl tried it on. It seemed innocent [...]
