When you need a shoulder to cry on?

You are down to the brim and ready to explode.   Stress, too much work and been up lately unable to sleep.   What is the thing that is bugging you?   Is there some sort of restlessness around you?   Why do people cant seem to be at your pace and reach out?   You seemed to be alone in the world of your own.   What are your fears or the cause of your anxiety?   Is there a need to be silent within and listen to the voice inside you telling you to slow down.   Reach out if need be but how can you when you are the one who needs reaching out.  You might need to unload sometimes.   There is a heaviness in your heart.   When your very own kin are the ones who put you down or is it your expectations that arent met that makes you feel frustrated.   Keep up the spirit.   Live one day at a time.   Make the most thinking it might be your last.  And most of all count your blessings always!  That will make you feel good despite the odds.

The Art of Mortifying

 

Nowadays we are curious about everything.   If we can try all apps we will do it not just in our mobile phones but in all our gadgets or pretty much in everyday living.   It is not just the art of learning something.   It has a negative impact also if we keep indulging ourselves of most if not all the things we want to get, see or have in our lives.    We have to open our eyes or have this mindset that not all things are good for us especially for our spirits.  So learn the art of mortifying the senses.    Have a little sense of waiting or discarding what is non essential.    All things come and go.   We must learn to see the difference of what can bring essence into our daily lives especially in this cyber world.

Happy holidays!

HOW BIZARRE THIS BLACK FRIDAY IN USA

 

I cant believe the hype all because of shopping.    The idea of wanting more and getting something beyond your means.    Gosh, I thought the UK mob riots was the worst ever that happened this year!   Some people died, innocent people getting hurt, lots of looting happened and chains of stores were heavily damaged/bankrupt. But in USA, a day after Thanksgiving the whole shopping scenario became a nightmare; all because of the hype of getting what you want.   What a message!    People getting greedier and materialistic in the name of absurdity and animalistic behavior!  

The Pacman Phenomenon

Manny Pacquiao better known as “Pacman” is getting to be so popular not only in the sports boxing arena but anywhere across the universe.   He is selected as one of the candidates for TIME Person of Year 2011. He brings magic in his career whether in politics or boxing.  He is being idolized not just by prisoners in the Philippines but he is someone being looked up to especially in this modern times.   We need authenticity in the aspect of role modelling.  Does he in any way exemplify as one of the heroes of our times?    Some find him down to earth, unassumming, cheerful and generous to the hilt.

What could be his magic?  Maybe that is what you macallit the aura of mystery that everyone savours for now.

SOMETHING FOOLISH -TO SPIKE DRINKS

So is this another new genre endangering lives of our innocent youth today- to spike someone? This could definitely damage the brain and worse could kill someone else! A new climate of fear has succumbed into my core being as I saw how helpless my naive 19 year old son was. He who do not smoke nor do recreational drugs but only go out social drinking was duped. Yes, he was spiked and his drinks had ecstacy which nearly killed him. Oh that scary night! He was not in his self after being told by the medical doctor: ‘at the moment his life is not yet threatening, but we do not know what’s gonna happen in the next hours.’ ‘Meantime we would do our best to help him so he has to stay in the hospital…’ How can you relate to that?
Thanks to the doctors and nurses who took care of him at the St Mary’s Hospital.  Now, he’s back to his normal state.  The challenge is on to be strong and be on vigilant with the cruelty invading the future lives of our children!

Everything in moderation

I’d like to think that in a wink of an eye i can say no to things that are trivial in my life. I set aside non essential stuff and focus only on positive and good vibes. It simply means being good.   It is truly well to live this mantra of moderation in everything whether eating, working, having fun or doing anything under the sun.

Black Sheep or Curse

Do you believe that sometimes there is one member of the family labeled as the black sheep? And how about a series of catasrophies engulfing the whole clan? Some say it is a generation curse occuring as a form of punishment because their early ancestors have done something bad in the past? Do you think they are true or just mere coincidences? One can easily dismiss this thought and consider them as mere superstitious beliefs. Well, it is happening to a family I know and to their big clan.
Btw, how is your historical perspective of your own family tree? Would you rather disregard something like that as myth or real? How do you draw the line?
Well, all I ever adhere to is, good bounces back! It has always been my adage and will always be in reference to life especially in my dealings with love ones, kins and strangers as well, including those difficult to love.

Focus on what you have and not on what you want

Just rammed into my closet and saw clothes, new and old ones. I seldom use the new stuff that I got. I prefer the old ones. Funny though it may seem, but I like the dilapidated, torn and simple clothes. I keep adding latest but classic looks when I go to the shops. I should learn to mortify myself.

Up Close and Personal

I am so close to you.   I communicate with you all the time.   There is no dull moment each minute of the day.   We are soulmates and I live to the hilt every moment of my life because of you.   If I am down, you make me up.   If I am up, you make me feel grounded.   You tend to make me see what is always best for me.   Love you for it!

London Escapade

What a day to walk and peruse the shops at Kensington and Oxford Streets in London.   Something caught up my hubby’s attention as he stopped to look at one of the Estate Agents’ Window Gallery.  Most properties are worth a million nowadays but saw parking spaces worth £150,000.000. Mama Mia!
