Options and Choices!

I stare into space, with my hand below my chin, and a smile stamped on my lips, finally!
 We make choices everyday of our lives, food, clothes, shoes, soaps, facial scrubs, chocolates, face powders, friends, after-shaves, enemies ( yes dear, ENEMIES), name it! Each choice we make has an effect, either there and then or it takes a little nap and comes around to affect you when you least expect it. One choice we make blindly may just be the most important ever.
 Am no economist or analyst, neither am I a counselor or any blah-blah of that such, but I know good things when I see them, and I absolutely believe no one should settle for less. Yes, nothing less than good, except we have no other choice, but we always have options, don't we?!!
  You buy a face powder and reaching home, you find out the guy at the cosmetics shop cheated you. You were busy staring at some ugly eye lashes and didn't notice its actually Maye Kay instead of Mary Kay. Now that isn't your choice, but you have two options here. 1)-Smash the compact against the wall. OR 2)- Go right back to the guy's shop, stare at him coldly and demand your money back, after smashing it of course. Yeah, you aren't buying it any more.
Make your choice! (What if you never noticed and used it everyday? Acne, hypo and hyper pigmentation of course! Who knows, a modeling agency may have been eyeing you and you just messed up.. Or an admirer who would have done anything for you cos your face looks smooth is somewhere watching you?)
    You collect your clothes from the tailor and you try it on in front of your wall length mirror thinking you will be magically transformed. Taaraaa! What you see is a hideously ugly you, courtesy of your new dress. You have two options here. 1)- Give out the dress to someone who needs it, or to a fashion blind person. OR 2)- Get that huge guy who has a crush on you and attack the tailor's shop and force him to make amends.
Make your choice! (What if you happened to be suffering from fashion-blindness for a little while and didn't notice? And what if that frenemy of yours notices and had fun snickering anytime you wore it? She just got one on you!)
   You stroll into a fast food joint and the waitress ignores you because she's prettier than you but has to accept what life doled her. You have two options here. 1)- Eye her, yes o, the nigerian eyeing and call her in a cold confident voice. OR, 2)- Shout at her for been so mean and walk out on her.
Make your choice! (OMG!! What if you were oblivious of her mean attitude and she wastes your time deliberately so you would be late and get a piece from your boss?!)
  You drop by at Ceddi Plaza to get something nice from Wrangler's only to see your fiance helping some random girl to choose some new clothes. You have been begging him to escort you oo, he refused!  You have two options. No, for this, you have three options. 1)- Give him a hard slap and walk away, after ending the relationship. OR, 2)- Pretend you didn't see him and walk away, and later on accept his apologies,she just may be his sister's father's cousin you know. OR, 3)- Give him a hard punch and make life hell for him, and marry his boss later on.
Make your choice! ( What if you didn't find out he was cheating and you marry him without him not been cured?!)
    Lots of options, make your choice wisely!
