The Accent Did It...

I had the pleasure of meeting up with Nikolett of Better Than Coffee again after our long 9 month separation! :P We only got to hang out for a couple of hours but it was fun nonetheless.


We stopped for fries and gelato here. We had such a giggle about the name "Bojangles" because it's more of a Southern name but they were serving Italian gelato, and the owners/all workers were Chinese. Haha!



What's a Kym + Nikolett meet-up without jumping photos! This time, we attempted to make it look like we were levitating (we've graduated from just "ordinary" jump shots)... we didn't quite perfect it but i'm sure we'll get it right the next time we see each other! :)


We attempted a D-I-Y photo of both of us with the above view in the background (you know, where you awkwardly stretch out your arm and take a photo of yourself) and guys walking by kept asking us if we wanted them to take the photo! It was funny b/c at one point, 2 guys (i won't say the race to avoid offending anyone) came up to us and said...

"Laaaadddiiiiesss, want us to take your photo?" 

....in a really creepy manner. We just looked at each other, back at them, and said "uhhh.. no, it's okay, we're good."About 5 seconds later, a British guy and his buds walked up to us and Brit guy just kind of came up to us with command and made the gesture as if he was taking a picture as a way of letting us know he was offering to take the picture. I guess we were quite mesmerized by his hotness that we didn't "get it". He then said, in his british accent, "let me take your photograph". We agreed (and giggled). As they walked away, the other two creepos who asked to take our photo walked by us again and probably saw that we allowed someone else to take our photo. Haha! I felt a little bad... but remembered how creepy they were. They had an accent too... but it didn't quite cut it as much as the guy with the British Accent. ;)

What is your favourite accent?

Creepy or Socially Awkward?

You know how you meet some nice people but you can't help but shy away from them because they give off a creepy vibe? For some reason, i seem to attract all sorts of those kinds of people!

For example... almost everyday, I come across this man in the lunch room who is an Asian man in his late 40's. Whenever we eat lunch, I feel like I have committed a serious crime as I am being investigated with "20 questions" - what do your parents do? what do you do on the weekend? where do you live? where is your church? do you attend bible studies? you've lost weight, what are you eating or not eating? 

O.o

But that's not the worst of it. In between the 20 questions, he pauses for a few seconds, stares at me, all while rubbing his hands together... and it makes me cringe not only because he is staring at me and rubbing his hands together but his hands are super dry so you can hear the dry skin sound (does that bother anyone else?)

Anyway, today was the awkward-est of them all. I was reading the newspaper and he comes up behind me and leans over my shoulder.

"Sexy outfits not out of the ordinary for service industries..." reads the headline in big bold letters. 


"Oh.... sexy outfits?" he continues to skim through the article and then asks me the big question: 

 "WHAT IS CLEAVAGE?"

Uhm, seriously? Thankfully, there was another less-creepy-and-awkward male person in the room so I bounced the question over to him. haha! 

I feel bad for the guy... he seems like a nice guy... he has a family and all...but maybe he was just never taught that questions like that are inappropriate... and staring at someone while rubbing your hands together gives an unwanted message. 

Do you have any creeper/socially awkward stories? 

I now leave you with a picture from Urban Glamour Market last night... the first picture was of me trying to not be in the picture but just have the speech bubble and pillow monster in there. But alas, I failed. It turned into a creepy picture instead with only my eyes showing. haha! 

like my giant speech bubble? :P
