My diet starts today....

Dear God, I've started my diet today. Please keep all those mouth-watering food away from my sight. Poke me when I'm about to give up. Lead me to all those non-fattening food though they will surely make me grumpy. Keep me safe and shy me away from kamikaze and blue margaritas. And you know that I love roti chanai's, ice-creams and chocolates - so constantly give me warnings. Make me read all those calories printed on labels. Push me to do my daily exercises. And, if I fail to do all of the above, I trust that you will never give up on me. Continue pushing, ya ! Thank you my dear God.

Dating....

I think I've kinda come off my darkest part of my life after almost 3 years and have stepped into the dating world. It's not something that I wanted to do but then as years rolled by, I've decided that the past is the past and it's the future that I should be concerned now....so, it's that time to let go...just treasure those memories and move on...and am moving on....So, I've taken the bold step....to move forward. So, here I am....:o) Been out on a couple of dates. It was fun...so, I thought ! But actually, nothing serious to start off a relationship. Nothing extraordinary, nothing new. In short, there were no chemistry whatsoever...haha.. But I am glad to have connected with these new found friends. End of the day, my world of friendship has enlarged.

So, what is this that I am looking for in dating? Guess, sometimes when the loneliness creeps in that's when we need someone. Someone to love and to be loved. That someone who will care and make me feel important despite my shortcomings. That someone who knows that I am not at all perfect. But I realised that meeting the right one is much more important than to just assume that someone is the right one. How then do we know that - that someone is the right one? For me, the right one is one who can just click at the first meet. The one that makes your heart go flutter. The one who crosses your mind daily after the first date. The one who makes you smile and laugh. And, above all the one who can be open and honest. Well, I did not find that some one yet. So my dates ended as new found friends instead and we became face book friends...:o)

Well, a lil' more about dating....I was forewarned about players in the game too. Yup, the very good ones, the too good to be true characters. I guess dating now is completely different than before. If your date keeps harping that you're looking great, you're beautiful, you're what a guy needs in his life blah blah blah...AND does not reveal much about him, just be careful. He could be a player. Dating isn't fun after all. It's pure hard work as a matter of fact ! Haha...what they reveal is not much until some ground work is done. So, those in similar shoes...remember, don't you ever invest your heart even before getting to know your date in and out - all that glitters is not gold ! Check, Analyse and Verify....and a close friend told me recently, "It's a jungle out there.." so just be alert.....woo hoo.....looks like the world of dating can be fun, scary, ugly, crazy ...until you get to click with the right one......so, let's just keep our eyes wide open while looking out for ahem ! prince charming....lol

Lazy mode...

Today am in lazy mode....got up as early as 6.45am....did a mountain load of laundry and by 8am my clothes were drying under the sun - happily ;).....then went on facebook to check out mails and friends statuses...no mails :( but got a new friend request - someone not known to me so kept it aside, checked on statuses...was not really in the mood to reply....damn lazy....then, I have my Sunday yoga...yeah !...a 2 hours session ....somehow today being on the lazy mode I just wanted to get back to bed but I should not...I have to drag myself to the yoga studio. At the yoga studio, I was early, so took a 15mins relaxation on my yoga mat....then the real yoga started...omg! next time I know, whenever I am not in the mood for yoga, I should not drag myself or I'll just be a zombie trying to do all the postures in an awful way...I lost some of my balancing postures...what a shame ! hmm..one hour of postures and then we were ready for yoga nidra - the meditation yoga...I simply love this - and especially so today I just loved it even more so that I could sleep for an hour...haha...we're not supposed to sleep though but then while on lazy mode nothing could stop me.. (my excuse)....haha...got thru the 1 hour of meditation with flying colours..yay!!! Since there was nothing much for me to go back to my room, I decided to go back to my mum's...had lunch with them and now am back in the comfort of my room...the weather is hot....right now I am looking at my bed and it seems oh so inviting....I guess I'll just take a quick nap....back to my lazy mode....."hard work pays off in the future...laziness pays off NOW....:o)...take care you all...God bless....Have a blissful Sunday....

I wish for a magic wand....

I wish we all are given a magic wand so that we can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers....and bring back loved ones who have left us....

Let go....

Sometimes, I imagine God holding a big box of new blessings, just standing there waiting on me. I'm wondering: "Why won't you give it to me NOW?" God's response: "Your hands are full." I look at my hands and sure enough: old ideas, expired relationships, past glories and past heartbreaks. "If you want to receive your blessings," God says, "you gotta let go of something ....."

Amazing ways to preserve fruits and vegetables...

Hey ! I got this in the mail today and so am sharing....read on...

VEGETABLES!!!

AN INDONESIAN MAID SHARED A WAY TO PRESERVE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WHICH SHE LEARNED FROM A FAMILY WHEN SHE BABY-SAT FOR THEM IN KL. THAT FAMILY WAS USING "ALUMINUM COATED PLASTIC BAGS" TO KEEP THEIR FRUITS AND VEGETABLES FRESH FOR WEEKS!!! ITS SO AMAZING.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO SAVE SOME UNWANTED RESOURCE WHICH MOST PEOPLE WOULD THROW AWAY WITHOUT ANY 2ND THOUGHT AND HERE I AM SHARING WITH YOU THE USEFULNESS OF THIS UNWANTED RESOURCE.

HERE IS THE TYPE OF ALUMINIUM COATED PLASTIC BAG FROM QUAKER. YOU CAN USE ANY OTHER TYPE AS WELL AS LONG AS IT HAS THE SAME TYPE OF MATERIAL.



YOU CAN PUT PLENTY OF FRUITS AND/OR VEGETABLES IN IT..



LOOK.....AFTER 1 WEEK.....THE VEGETABLES ARE STILL FRESH! AMAZING, ISN'T IT??? NO DEHYDRATION AT ALL.



LOOK AT THE OCRAS. THEY ARE STILL VERY, VERY FRESH WITHOUT ANY DEHYDRATION AT ALL.



BUT DON'T FOLD OR SEAL THE OPENING OF THE BAG. JUST LEAVE THE BAG OPEN AND IT WILL DO THE MAGIC WORK FOR YOU ALREADY. .....TRY IT OUT.....

YOU WOULD SURE LIKE IT VERY MUCH TOO.

INSTEAD OF THROWING THESE USEFUL THINGS AWAY, RE-USE IT AGAIN AND YOU WILL BE INHERENTLY JOINING THE GROUP OF "SAVING THE MOTHER-EARTH" CAMPAIGN TOO.
