Read Me


Do you like reading? Before you say yay or nay, you have a couple of options: -
(a) of books
(b) of minds
(c) of persons

The typical answer for (a) would be... of course! But evidence of it would be dependant on the number of books you read and in how much time. Whereas, the evidence of reading (b) and (c) could be a bit more trickier. Whatever it is, we all would have our own style of approaching it. Either back to front, front to back, speed through, once or thrice... such variety! And yes, some people do have the ability to read a person from the back to front.

I suppose it could get quite subjective. "Back" to me would mean trashing out on the nasty aspects of the person or perhaps the "history". It could also mean looking deep into the inner aspects of the person or simply put "the Heart". Whereas, "Front" refers to the more superficial aspects... the looks, the way they interact with other people.

So, if you were dating someone, how would you like them to be? If they studied u from "Front" to "Back", they might stop at Chapter 1 if you don't turn out to be the good looking or outgoing kind of person (or vice versa). If they studied you from the "Back" to "Front" if you were an introvert, you might feel a bit uneasy. Whereas, an extrovert might find that comforting, as it just makes it easy to get along. Whatever it is, it's easy when each "Readers" know their own style so they are careful not to hurt the other party. That's where you hear couples complaining "She just doesn't read between the lines" or "Why does he not give me flowers on my birthday, when I actually love suprises!".

So the next time someone tells you to read him/ her, do expect that they have started reading you! Do not fret, coz who knows, you might think he is a "Business Week" kind of guy, and might turn out to be prince charming in "Cinderella" (nb. Pumpkin turns into Cinderella after midnight haha).

From the "Front", this new MAC I'm trying on at MAC World at the Curve is a real beauty and I really really want to buy it, if not for its graphics, for its sheer originality of being white and large screened.

From the "Back", the bloody thing will set me back by quite a few grand, so, I should end my analysis right here.
