[litsetaure]

So…one of my favourite headcanons is that the Potter family are Indian. (Those of you who’ve read my Grindeldore/Wolfstar dancer fic might recall that Fleamont Potter, James’ father and the UK Prime Minister, is Indian in that. Funnily enough, our real life Prime Minister is a British Indian Hindu who became PM last year. On Diwali. Yeah, that was an…interesting day in the family. Still not entirely sure how I feel about it.)

Anyway - here are some headcanons about James Potter being Indian, some of which are based around how I actually grew up. (Note: there will probably be more as I think of them!):

When Holi comes around, James wakes the others up by pelting them with coloured powder. He does it every year and every year they fall for it. They also pelt everyone with coloured powder throughout the holiday. It took weeks for the paint to be cleaned fully. (Some people suspected Dumbledore deliberately let it stay like that because he liked the colours.)

Sirius got really angry the first time he heard someone call James a Paki. He doesn’t know what it means, but he never wants to see that look on James’ face again. He absolutely lost it when James told him what it meant. (For those of you who don’t know what it means, it’s an incredibly racist slur towards south Asians; along similar lines of using the n-word to a black person. This is also why James gets so angry whenever anyone uses the word Mudblood - because he knows how that shit feels.)

Sirius helps James create magical rangoli patterns during Diwali. They also take over the kitchen for an evening trying to make Indian sweets. The results are mixed-looking, but they all taste good, and the house elves get some great new dishes.

Every time a festival falls on a full moon, they always celebrate a few days after so Remus can join in. (He hugely appreciates the sweets.)

James initially wasn’t thrilled that his Animagus form is a stag, since a deer is the form one of the bad guys took in the Ramayana when he triggered the events that led to Rama’s wife being kidnapped.

When James’ father died, he had a traditional Hindu funeral. Traditionally, the eldest son leads the proceedings, but when James broke down, Sirius stepped in to continue. In that moment, James loved Sirius more than he could put into words.

James also taught the Marauders some Hindi so they could talk privately, as well as some Indian magic.

James, Lily and Sirius actually go to india for their wedding outfits. Lily also has magical mendhi patterns done by James’ aunts and cousins. James also had to gently explain to Lily that wearing white is associated with funerals.

Petunia showed up to James and Lily’s wedding in a white dress to try and upstage the bride. She’s very confused to realise a) Lily is not wearing white, and b) a lot of James’ relatives are looking at her weirdly, because she’s wearing a funeral colour.

At James and Lily’s engagement party, James’ aunties kept trying to set Sirius up with their daughters and teasing him about getting married. They shut up when Sirius snogged Remus in front of everyone. James wasn’t even mad that his engagement was briefly upstaged.

James has a book of Indian tales and legends passed down from his father. He read them to Harry at bedtime. Lily would smile and watch from the doorway. He also taught his friends some classic Indian songs to sing to Harry.

Every year on Raksha Bandhan, James ties a rakhi on Sirius’ wrist and charms them so they’ll never come undone. One night, Sirius noticed the threads of one of them coming loose. That night was October 31st, 1981.

I'm proud of myself for being here, for getting back my old vocabulary that had made me unique, for writing, for not giving up.

I love her silliness, her innocence, her goodness, her kind character. I love how she hasn't given up on me. I love how she pays attention to me and makes me feel included. I love how she acknowledges the good things about me, and let's me know I'm appreciated. I love that she listens. I love her.

I love her brain, not in some weird way lol, I just love the way she thinks- the admirable way she is able to convey her thoughts. I love her silliness and chaotic behaviour. I love her ideas, her theories, her writing. God, their poetry is just as amazing as them. I love her. @the-lovely-planet-earth this refers to you <3

CHICKEN BIRYANI! Also the clothes and other Pakistani dishes. I especially love the chaos of the weddings we Paki folk host lmfao. I just love the overall aesthetic of my culture too. Did I mention the clothes? Yeah I did- I love the clothes and the jewellery. Also I was born in Australia, and live in the upside-down land, so lemme acknowledge that. I love the slang, it's hilarious. With the Indigenous culture, I love dot painting, it looks super cool and the meaning behind some of the art I've seen just makes it genuinely awesome.

Honestly, you know how I said before that I got back my old vocabulary? Yeah that- I love that about myself. I love it because it makes me unique. I love how I speak old english unironically sometimes. I love how I use older slang. I love how I just speak and write, how I pen my thoughts down, how I think. I love myself and I genuinely mean it now. There are so many things about me to love. I'm grateful to have realised that.

With irl friends, we are all very confused people. We do this thing where we mis-hear or misinterpret something another person says and then it becomes this whole ting of chaotic confusion and it's hilarious. My online friends and I- well @the-lovely-planet-earth and I traumatise entertain ya'll with our roleplays. We create angst and spill it onto the tumble crumble site for you all to see. We create characters inspired by a show we bond over, and add our own touch to them then BOOM- epic roleplay on ya'll's dash >:D

I'll get back to this- reblog to remind me.

December is the szn of wedding ick-ick-icks and more. LOL.

"Kapag ikaw na, for sure ang ganda ng kasal mo. Matinde." This statement has been with me since 27-ish, but my reply is still the same: 'Di kailangan ng mahal at mahabang prep time, honestly. After all, it's just another day, nagkataon lang na consumerism over meaningful stories na ang galawan ng industriya." Also, let this be a reminder na tawang-tawa pa rin ako sa mga tanong na dapat talaga link na lang here send ko para super detailed at most likely, wala na silang further q's. And so, ano ba ang mga super specific na mga ick-ick-ick forda eme ng mga pangmalakasang wedding in general 'to a. Kasi lahat naman, templated since it's but a tradition and a social construct, after all. SUPER DUPER TOP UGHHHH: Hindi oks na kiss na hindi man lang ginawaaan ng oras at pake. HAHAHAHHAA. Since 2011, nakaka-stress yung mga couple na nguso mode mag-kiss.

Girllll, andami n'yong ginastos, tapos ganyan????? WTF???? The groom needs to take the lead and the bride should follow. Dito lang a. Hahahaha. LOL. Common shitballs 'to kasi conservative kuno mga Filipinos, pero ayoko na lang mag-talk. Hahahahaha. Paki usap. Ayusin niyo. Pili kayo ng peg na swak sa personality at aging limits n'yo. Example: Kung may back pains na, 'wag na mag-dip. Kung thiccc kayo or isa sa inyo, ayusin ang mga angles. 'Pag 'di matangos ilong niyo, 'wag niyo kiss lapirot ilong. Juiceekkooo. Shemay. TMI na naman. Deluge ng mga shots na wala ng galaw kahit napaka galing mo pang mag-edit. Hahahahahahahaha. Kadire.

ISA PANG 'WAG NA UGH TIP: Bawal ang hindi prime lens. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Pagtrabahuin niyo mga PnV. Hayaan n'yo sila. Wide lens = jubis mode 'yan. Ako lang 'to. Iba ang talas ng prime + bokeh. Hahahahahahaha. Malamyos pero bumabaon. Ganernn. Che. Ganito: 1 - 35, 1 - 50, 1 - 85. 24 - debatable kasi ang braso 'pag lens na 'to, puputok pero kung landscape and the location, as needed. =)))))

1 'Yung mga PnV na puro pa-eme shots na "money shots" na nakakalimutan na 'yung mga essential shot list. HAHAHAHAHAHA.

2 Kahit sinong supplier kahit alta ka pa or award winning, dapat wala sa aisle 'pag nag-walk na 'yung bride. Wala akong pake kung mahal bayad sa'yo. Dapat alam mo GMRC. Hahahaha. Itong walk ng bride kasi is very symbolic. Legit meaningful kaya para sulit, i-adjust ng lahat ng nasa wedding ang mga pake nila. UGH.

3 Guests na andaming gusto at ayaw tapos choopol naman. Hahahahaha. 'Pag nagbaba na yung bride and groom, 'yun na 'yun. 'Wag na kayong mag-tanong or mag-request kasi nakakabanas. :p I get naman na may mga requests ang bride and groom na weird, pero, sabi nga: Whatever it takes... kung talagang hindi ka lang guest na gustong makikain at maganda-gandahan sa gedli.

4 Late comers. Sa kahit anong aspeto talaga. Oks lang ma-late pari, pero ikaw, kahit wala ka sa marcha, umayos ka. LOL.

5 Hosts na walang adjustment sa personality ng couple. Hahahahahahaha. Shet. Usually kasi, okay sila sa feeds and rates are diverse. Personal pick ko: family or friend na tiwala ka talaga. Bigyan mo ng ampao or whatever personalized gift you can after. Why? Again, mas meaningful siya.

6 Mga boomers na akala mo sila naglapag. Hahahahahahahahaha. Dad ko guilty dito so ang dapat mag-lespu sa kanila ay mga anak or guardians nila. They mean well naman a lot of times, pero, 'yung napaka shit ng mga sinasabi, umuwi ka na lang talaga. Hahahaha.

7 Bride and groom squad na hindi collaborative. Hahahahaha. Sa dami ng shoots ko noon, juicekooollerrdsss. 'Di mo kailangan ng malaking squad e mga passive or passive-aggressive naman. Kitang-kita mo rin talaga 'yung mga hindi totoong masaya for the bride and groom sa bawat pitik. Sorry. Basing this on shoots na hindi personal para wala akong bias a.

8 You really marry the family of your chosen Pokemon. Walang perfect. Walang hindi crazy. Kaya naman, humanda. Hahahahahaha.

9 Suppliers na lutang lalo 'pag wedding szn. LOL. Binabayaran kayo para maging stress-free ang mga aging millennials na andaming gusto. Umayos kayo.

10 Unmanaged kiddos for whatever reason. LOL. Ughhhh. Gets ko naman na kids are firecrackers pero naman. Ilang oras lang ba church and reception ha? Ilan lang ba?

11 Food na hindi warm or food na maganda tignan pero fuck naman lasa... lalo 'pag sobrang haba ng program. 'Di naman ako ma-demand kasi nung shoot days ko, may baon talaga ako kasi nga, acid is liferrr. Lagi't lagi akong sa ugly delicious kesa "curated" pero ems.

12 Walang sense na message sa bride and groom. UGH. Konting audacity naman. Tanggalin ego. Magbigay ng pake at oras. Mag-Gemini or GPT kung kailangan. Juicekooooo.

13 Bride at groom na sobrang daming gusto at ayaw. HAHAHAHAHHA. Unless, super love ko sila. Periodddtzzz. Kaya 'di rin ako mahilig pumunta sa mga weddings, pili lang talaga. Sayang oras 'pag wala akong pake.

atbp.

And so, what?

Sana bumalik na 'yung mundo sa point na kayang mag-plano at mag-execute ng wedding ng 3 to 4 months kasama 'yung mga lekat na docs, pre-nup arrangements, church shitballs, atbp. Kaya naman talaga, kasi wedding is but another day. Ang baon ay kwento. Hindi ego. Hahahahahaha. And I won't take that out of any equation and/or negotiation lalo at this age and time. Bonus points na lang talaga na may destination or kung ano mang kaartehan basta it makes sense and kaya itawid ng funds, pake, at bandwidth sa lahat ng dako paroon.

In all fairness, kaya rin may sense mga paganaps ng wedding based sa shoots and special projects ko ay: -may times na sasabihin ng couple, may pinagdadaanan ang family tapos naging way 'yung wedding para kahit paano magka-ayos

-mga couples na after the wedding, may nagkasakit or namatay na parent or close family member >> thank you raw kasi mas naging memorable 'yung photo na pak

-mga guests na umuwi from ibang bansa or galing province, atbp na sobrang effort makarating lang sa kung saang lupalop

-couples na 'di madali tinawid para matawid ang isang araw na forever nila maalala hopefully

-stories na 'di mangyayari kung walang paganaps sa isang random na araw na 'to Ergo, bahala kayo jan. Tuloy ang eme-han. Hahahahahahahaha. CHOZ. Mabait na me. Need pa mas bumait kasi malala talaga ako e. LOL. Let's see, gesiiiii.

Discover the Best Pakistani Bridal Dresses Online Shopping Experience

In today’s digital age, online shopping has revolutionized the way we approach fashion, and this is especially true for Pakistani bridal dresses. For many brides-to-be, the journey to find the perfect wedding dress can be overwhelming, filled with countless store visits and fitting appointments. However, with the advent of online shopping, this process has become more convenient and accessible than ever before. In this blog, we will explore the benefits of shopping for Pakistani bridal dresses online, guide you through what to look for, and provide tips to ensure you find your dream dress without any hassle.

The Convenience of Online Shopping

One of the most significant advantages of online shopping for Pakistani bridal dresses is convenience. Traditional shopping often requires taking time off work, dealing with traffic, and spending long hours in stores. Online shopping eliminates these challenges by allowing you to browse and purchase dresses from the comfort of your home. This flexibility means you can take your time to explore different options, compare prices, and read reviews without the pressure of a store environment.

Moreover, online stores operate 24/7, providing you with the freedom to shop whenever it suits you. Whether you’re an early bird or a night owl, you can access a wide range of bridal dresses at any time of day. This round-the-clock availability makes it easier to fit shopping into your busy schedule, ensuring you have ample time to make the best choice for your special day.

Wide Variety of Choices

When you shop for Pakistani bridal dresses online, you gain access to a vast selection of styles, designs, and brands. Unlike physical stores that may have limited stock or specific designers, online platforms often feature collections from multiple designers and boutiques.

Whether you’re looking for a specific style, fabric, or embellishment, the extensive online inventory increases your chances of finding exactly what you envision. You can browse through thousands of dresses and select the one that perfectly matches your personal taste and wedding theme.

Tips for Successful Online Shopping

Research and Read Reviews: Before making a purchase, take the time to research the retailer and read reviews from other customers. Look for feedback on the quality of the dresses, customer service, and delivery times. This information can help you make an informed decision and avoid potential issues.

Check Size Charts and Measurements: Different brands and designers may have varying size charts. Ensure you carefully check the size chart provided by the online store and measure yourself accurately to avoid sizing problems. Many online retailers also offer customization options, allowing you to get a dress tailored to your exact measurements.

Consider Return Policies: Even with the best planning, there may be instances where the dress you receive doesn’t meet your expectations. Check the return policy of the online store before making a purchase to understand the process for returns or exchanges. A flexible return policy can provide peace of mind and allow you to make changes if needed.

Examine Fabric and Embellishments: Online images may not always capture the true texture and quality of the fabric. Look for detailed descriptions and close-up photos of the dress to get a better understanding of its material and embellishments. Some online stores may also provide fabric samples upon request.

Verify Payment Security: Ensure that the online store uses secure payment methods to protect your financial information. Look for secure payment gateways and SSL certificates to safeguard your personal and payment details.

Benefits of Buying Pakistani Bridal Dresses Online

Cost-Effectiveness: Online shopping often provides access to exclusive discounts and deals. Many online stores offer seasonal sales, promotional codes, or special offers that can make your bridal dress more affordable. Additionally, online shopping eliminates the need for physical store overheads, which can contribute to cost savings.

Accessibility to High-End Designers: Online platforms frequently collaborate with high-end designers and boutiques that bridal dresses sale may not have physical stores in your area. This accessibility allows you to explore luxury bridal wear that might otherwise be out of reach.

Addressing Common Concerns

While online shopping offers numerous benefits, it’s essential to address some common concerns:

Quality Assurance: To ensure you receive a high-quality dress, choose reputable online retailers with positive reviews and a track record of delivering excellent products. Look for online stores that provide detailed product descriptions and high-resolution images.

Fit and Alterations: Since you cannot try on the dress before purchasing, it’s crucial to provide accurate measurements and choose a retailer that offers alteration services or customization options. Some online stores may even offer virtual fittings to assist with sizing.

Shipping and Delivery: Verify the shipping and delivery policies of the online store to understand estimated delivery times and any additional charges. Ensure that the retailer provides tracking information so you can monitor the progress of your order.

Conclusion

[ianstummy]

okay so as a muslim pakistani girl who JUST passed her drivers test like 2 days ago i obviously had no choice but to love ms marvel w all my heart. i just wanted a place where i could ramble a little for a sec.

i loved this show. it was so cute, i loved iman vellani i think she’s adorable, such a great actress; all the animations and set decor and oh my god that scene of them wedding shopping and everything was great.

howeverrrrr.

i did have a little problem.

i just don’t understand why any show representing muslim or desi people always have to go this route of eViL mOm or have this narrative of ‘ok, you’re brown but you’re westernized so it’s fine’ rather than just ‘ok, you’re brown and that’s cool!’

like why do you need to make her mom so upset about attending a damn comic-con bro. i get that their are a lot of brown parents like that, hell, my mom was like that with letting me go to parties but it was literally COMIC-CON. THAT ENDED AT 9:30 BRO.

and please don’t get me wrong i loved the show and i loved the representation it’s just that i’m so tired of seeing this same damn story shoved down our throats about how evil and overprotective brown parents are. some of it didn’t even make sense to me because it’s like kamala can wear normal clothes to school but she has to wear shalwar kamiz to a convention? also whoever wrote that line where the mom goes “there will be a lot of haram there” shouldn’t be on the writing team bcoz that’s not how you use that word 💀. her parents letting her meet a boy!! on the roof at night alone but NOT LETTING HER GO TO COMIC-CON??😭😭😭 i’m just so bored of this stupid plot about how brown parents are oppressive! islam sucks! shalwar kamiz sucks! like is it to much to ask that i wanna see my culture be appreciated instead of shat on :/

anyways no one read that and i rlly only did it as a catharsis moment but overall i did really like the show and i can tell a lot of effort went into it. plus it’s only the first episode and i’m so excited to see the rest of the season. it feels fucking amazing that a company like marvel made a show like this. probably the first time i’ve ever seen a main paki character on screen :’) but yea anyways talk to me about the show if u want hehe ok thx bye <3

[benefits1986]

say.yes.

When flashbacks turn to glimmers.

I hate parties like bridal showers. But there are exemptions, of course. It's my first time looking into the historicity of this thing called a bridal shower. And also, hello there, AI overview!!! Hahahaha. Badly put, the bride squad ensures that the bride will make it to her wedding by hook or crook. It may involved funds or even their own lives during a dark era in humanity.

For this upcoming wedding, I requested that I be taken out of the "entourage" in exchange for taking grainy snaps. And this super good friend of mine said yes. LOL. We've had a few travels together and one of the reasons why I'm one of her travel buddies is because she wants decent photos and videos taken.

Her love story flashbacked to me during her bridal shower. I was pretty much silent because I was trying to make sense of why the flashbacks came. "She did it well!" --That's the bottom line.

A few years back, she messaged me that she's gonna go all out on swiping right. Me: Push. Online dating is kinda frowned upon and I myself don't want to go there for my own reasons. She'd update me and syempre, she'd get spicy statements like: -While there are good men online, the truth is that there'd be a lot more women.

-Being ghosted is part of the game, sadly yet truly.

-If you'd like to go the Christian dating route, your chances of success will dramatically decrease. BUT, it can happen.

-Your game is your game. Your timeline is your timeline. So whatever others say, fuck them all.

-Kahit bobo ka minsan, kakampi mo ko. Period. So, slayyyyyy.

-If it doesn't work. It's always a two-way shit zone. Don't be too hard on yourself. Putting yourself out there is already a win on its own.

The wait was not pretty. Pota. But, since I'm this enabler of kabaliwan, sige lang. Goooooo. And whenever olats siya, I'd tell her, get back on track. Akala mo naman believer of love ako noh? Hahahaha. That's just me trying my best to take part in my good friend's journey even when it means na minsan kuhang-kuha niya talaga gigil ko. Looking back, that may be the part of me which lives through her kabaliwan vicariously.

I felt badly everytime she came empty-handed and rejected. Tangina. While she has her quirks, she knows she's dating to marry. Yun talaga. She has a decent background and has a really good career track pa. So, in a way, decent package. Sabi ko nga sa kanya, puwedeng bang date to have fun and explore na lang muna para mas feasible. Ayaw niya. Me: Okay pero sinasabi ko sa'yo, madugo 'yang trip mo a. There'd be times na naluluha na rin ako kasi naman, pota talaga. Ang hassle din talaga ng mga ganaps at times. Malimit, the malandi brings home the bacon talaga e. Ganun ang laban. Wala namang mali doon, honestly. Pero kasi nga, dating to marry is quite rare these days especially sa age group namin. 'Yung mga igop, alam mo na rin. Nasa kabilang ibayo a lot of them.

Funny as this may seem, isa siya sa talagang pinagdadasal ko na sana magkaroon na ng asawa among my other single XX friends na talaga naman pong masidhi ang longing forda one. Me: Lorddee, unahin mo na 'tong mga 'to. No pressure naman sa side ko e. Hahahahahahahahaha. Me to myself: Lorddeee, tamad na tamad na akong magka-pake ang maging a bit gentle and failing at it. Paki tawid na 'to. 'Yung gusto niya at gusto mo, paki align. Paki usap lang. Baka mauntog ko na talaga 'to e.

And then, the right swipe happened.

Eto na 'to. Syempre, I'm the devil's advocate. Since she's an expat, I can't dissect the XY she found. I don't ask details din that much. Kung ano lang kwento sa akin, okay. Let's build it from there. During our first meet and greet ni XY, engaged na sila. They spent years together na rin naman and alam mo na, aging millennials so habol sa pag-build ng family.

Una kong tanong: What made you say that she is the one? Follow-up q: What reservations did you have to come through when you proposed to her? The table went silent. Hahahahaha. Philo guy naman 'to, so, g.

Nasagot niya ng mainam and natawa ako kasi 'di pa raw natanong ni friend ko sa kanya 'yun ever. Syempre kinilig 'yung kaibigan ko. Ako naman to myself: Pasado. Plus points para sa pupils niya na can't lie, too. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

What I liked better sa sagot niya is that he thought about it and looked me and our small group in the eye while he's at it. I asked a few more questions and again, hindi BS sagot niya. Walang halo na "brainy ako a" vibe. Sabi nung isang kaibigan namin, mga tanong ko raw, wagas. E first meet up. Sabi ko, e ano naman? LOL.

We had a good conversation and what I like best about this guy is that he balances my friend. They're opposites but their goals align. And I saw talaga that my maarte friend has been making reasonable and admirable compromises which is integral in building relationships and nurturing them. EMMMEMMMEEEEE.

If there's one thing I like a looootttt, 'di ko na need bumili ng flowers para sa friend ko na 'to, finally. Ayoko ng flowers pero since 'yun ang gusto niya, jusko. May suki na ako na sakto sa budget at mukhang 'di tinipid na naggagawa mga Pinterest-inspired arrangements 'pag may paganaps. Thank uuuuu, Lorrrdddeeee.

Kidding aside, cheers to another sapak sa fez na love is true. SHEMAY. LUL. Kadire. Pero sige, sige. Pakshet malala. And that love is a work in progress and a process of choosing to go beyond yourself. While I still have so many doubts, NASA podcast era na rin tayo na sige, tignan natin ang kabilang banda ng mga bagay-bagay for a change. Hayyyyy. 'Yung Lordeee, no pressure ko nasa Lorddeee, 'di naman ako nape-pressure pero ang weird lang talaga kasi I'm so used to shutting love-related things down.

Baka naman kasi marami lang weddings and ganaps lately kaya baka naman mood swing lang 'to. Hahahahahahaha. Hayaan muna nating mag-marinate 'tong paganaps na 'to because I don't want to rush this chapter. Whoa. Chapter? Hahahahahahaha. Siguro, in the name of being a recovering avoidant, let this be a reminder that 'di naman masamang sumubok ulit. SHETTTTTT. Totoo ba 'yan? Ako ba talaga 'yan? Sakit ng tiyan ko bigla pero ayun na nga.

Medyo nage-evolve na rin 'yung prayer ko ngayon. LUH. Natatawa pa nga ako madalas kasi kadire talaga. As in. Abangan. :p Tapos, ending mood swing lang pala noh? Abangan din.

Kabado lang ako sa ilaw sa araw ng wedding neto friend ko. May peg kasi siya na gusto sa photos. And since 'yun ang gift ko sa kanila, sana talaga maging oks ang ilaw. More importantly, sana ma-capture ng mainam 'yung mga moments na syempre, wala ng take two. Shemayyyyyuyyy. Ang mahal lalo ng films ngayon. Potaaaa. May camera akong gusto kaso iniisip ko baka panget exposure kasi nga 'di natin alam ang lagay ng panahon, pero gagawaan natin ng paraan 'yan by hook or by crook. Lels. Dapat pala 'yung drip ko ay I can freely move around so ekis na 'yung isang option kahit super cutie niya. EMEEEMMMEEE. Baka pantsuit na lang or parang daster vibe pero 'di halata. :p

Speaking of snaps, the other day, I had to shoot a room full of people. Siguro mga hundred madlang people 'yun easily. Namiss ko rin mag-shoot, honestly. And as introvert na wala namang choice, natuwa akong may command pa rin pala ako kahit super big group. Happy naman sila sa photos. LOL. Dami ko rin nakilalang bago. Small talk galore kahit ayoko talagang lumabas at makipag-interact.

PS: Flashbacks din sa mga lahat ng mga kabobohan ko na sana naman, matuto na ako this time. Para naman 'di naman maging epic fail na naman ang mga okay talaga. Shemayyyy.

Sabi & Saqib 

[tillywhim]

Dear Henry and Rachel,

I didn’t watch your interview the other night as I was too busy washing my hair/watching paint dry/searching for loose change down the back of the sofa. I didn’t find any change but I did find an old Murray mint. I’m not sure how long it’s been there but it’s still in its wrapper so I might give it a go later.

Obviously I know about the interview as it’s been EVERYWHERE, seriously all the social medias, newspapers, TV shows, it’s been pretty hard to avoid. How is this affecting your privacy? Are you OK Rachel?

I was very surprised and saddened that you both feel the UK is such a toxic place to live. I mean we’re going through another lockdown I get it but we have vast open spaces, multicultural communities, amazing theatre, music and art, the freedom to find ourselves, to be the people we want to be, love the people we want to love. We can sing (sometimes badly), dance, make merry and bright all year round not just at Christmas and yet, you found us toxic. You Henry who grew up here in the most exalted circumstances, who we took collectively to our bosoms to try to comfort and protect you when you sadly lost your mother. You who we watched growing up, being a bit of a bad boy ( we all love them), wearing a Nazi brownshirt complete with swastika (which the Nazis completely stole and corrupted btw), calling people serving in the Army with you “paki” and “raghead” all jolly japes eh Henry?

Rachel, when you were “outed” (gave an interview to Vanity Fair and posted banana pics everywhere) as Henry’s girlfriend, we welcomed you with open arms, we stood in the pouring rain for a chance to see or even meet you. We were ecstatic when you announced your engagement and not in the least little bit (extremely) bothered when it meant HRH Princess Eugenie had to move her wedding back. We just wanted you both to be happy.

We were so excited when you refused Her Majesty’s suggestion to live a quiet, peaceful life away from the glare of publicity in favour of a “boots on the ground/hit the ground running” mentality you had, the tours, the away days,the visits to some of the poorer regions of the nations that make up the United Kingdom. And then? It stopped, you left, you got angry because you were no longer receiving the wages from the job you left. I think this is when we became toxic to you both. With that said and of course with all due respect, if that’s the case, please can we have the £30mil+ we paid out for your wedding back it’s just we could use that money to pay for more key workers or to feed families who’ve lost their livelihoods, homes, sense of self-worth, we can use it to help provide support for people grieving the loss of loved ones, I mean the list goes on.

I’m sure you won’t mind paying it back as no one in their right mind would want to be seen to accept a gift, even if it was just a pair of earrings say, from such a toxic country.

Have a look down the back of your sofa, I’m sure you’ll find it there. 14 days is ok with you for paying it back isn’t it?

Anyhoo must dash, got to see a man about hiring some chickens for a little interview I’m giving. Oh, and a Murray mint to suck on.

Take care, tata and toodlepip,

P.S. given current circumstances, I’m unable to accept a cheque for that 30 odd mil, get in touch and we’ll arrange a bank transfer so much easier.
