the chronicles of a prematurely senile mind
--

Sometimes , i seriously feel that my memory is failing me.

Short term memory ? Definitely.

And i do mean short . You know , like nano-seconds.

I guess it happens to everyone all the time , hands up all of you who finds this scenario familiar :

-
You ( thinking out loud ) : Where the hell is my pen. I bet Sis took it without permission again. Better go get it from her before she forgets.

**proceeds to open bedroom door when handphone suddenly rings. You turn around to pick up your phone when it stops ringing**

You : Bloody hell which asshole called and hanged up.

**You look at the door and notices your hand on the doorknob**

You : Huh why i am opening the door ?

**You walk back to your table continue writing with a pencil.**

Yep. Just a minor distraction is enough to make one completely senile for that moment. I am stiill trying to figure out why. It usually happens to me when i'm having a conversation on the phone and when the other party tries to speak out the same time i am trying to , i tend to forget about what i was going to say.

Okay , what a boring topic to rant about . A bit of a writer's block , lah !

Now now . I was flipping through Her World magazine at my aunt's place hoping to locate freebies nestled among the pages.

( Her World is a magazine strictly for the rich and or those trying to look like they are , IMO. I mean who the hell buys $300 tops from Prada or blows $1000 on a a SINGLE pair of shoes from Miu Miu ? Give me Cleo anytime , at least i am able to afford half of the stuff featured in it. )


And yes there was. I felt it.

To my utter disgust and disappointment it WASN'T a perfume sample or in the very least , a sampler sachet of a cleanser or something.

It was.....

A pad.

Yes. A frigging sanitary pad.

Weeee. How exciting. And it can even 'absorb 200 times better than other brands of sanitary pads. A breakthrough technology brought to you by Laurier."

Or so it claims in its advertisment.

WHAT THE HELL.

Do we even bleed THAT much enough to warrant such a product ?

If so , i guess sanitary napkins would be obsolete.

Walking around with buckets between our legs would be the norm.


C'mon , wasting money for researching on such inane problems when all that we ask for is something that doesn't bunch up , that will not detach itself even after running after the bus , that has an amazing capacity to soak up even the jelly jelly bits ( LOL. This i guess only the ladies will understand ya ? )

Can someone please contact Whisper,Kotex and all the other companies to tell them about our grievances ?

Goodness , i have at least 50 more years to go before i am free from it. Menopause. What a beautiful word.
