Women’s Thoughts!

Insanity is my only means of relaxation.

Reason to smile: Every 7 minutes of every day, someone in an aerobic class pulls a hamstring.

Women over 50 don't have babies because they would put them down and forget where they left them.

One of life's mysteries is how a 2 pound box of candy can make a woman gain 5 lbs.

My mind not only wanders, it sometime leaves completely.

The best way to forget all your troubles is to wear tight shoes.

The nice part about living in a small town is that when you don't know what you're doing, someone else does.

The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.

Just when I was getting used to yesterday, along came today.

Sometimes I think I understand everything, then I regain consciousness.

I gave up jogging for my health when my thighs kept rubbing together and setting my pantyhose on fire.

Amazing! You hang something in your closet for a while and it shrinks two sizes!

Skinny people irritate me! Especially when they say things like, "You know sometimes I just forget to eat. " Now I've forgotten my address, my mother's maiden name, and my keys. But I've never forgotten to eat. You have to be a special kind of stupid to forget to eat.

A friend of mine confused her valium with her birth control pills. She had 14 kids, but she doesn't really care.

They keep telling us to get in touch with our bodies. Mine isn't all that communicative but I heard from it the other day after I said, "Body, how'd you like to go to a class in vigorous toning?" Clear as a bell my body said, "listen witch... do it and you die."

I read this article that said the typical symptoms of stress are eating too much, impulse buying, and driving too fast. Are they kidding? That is my idea of a perfect day.

I know what Victoria's Secret is. The secret is that nobody older than 30 can fit into their stuff.

If men can run the world, why can't they stop wearing neckties? How intelligent is it to start the day by tying a noose around your neck?

monday musings ...

I have to admit today all in all was a great day. I think what I have learnt is that if you set your mind to, it does manifest itself. The working power of the mind is truly amazing. Last week wasn’t the best of weeks but it was ok – maybe I was expecting out of the week but anyways that was what it was last week. But seriously I shouldn’t be complaining at least I don’t risk being blown up or have curfews imposed on me where I am. We can say our week wasn’t the best but when we really look at it others in places that’s being plagued by war & occupation I think they are grateful that they can make it through the day safe….. anyways …

So come this week I told myself start the week in a positive note and believe that it will be a good week ahead with minor glitches and I usually Monday is fretted upon by some but I find it positive and up lifting – maybe its how you brush things off or how you handle encounters for the day so anyways …

I came home to a little tea party held by mom and her cousins. I thought it was cute – all these mature ladies sitting around a table drinking coffee and having what I call local tea time favorites like banana fritters, a kind of salad called rojak with accompanies the fritters, and then there were those brownies (LOW FAT) from yesterday, lets see what else .. umm some jelly with fruits in a bowl, and mashed banana fritters or jemput-jemput. It was a table full of delights so I decided to join in by having an early dinner of leftover soto from yesterday another all time favorite. While enjoying my piping hot bowl of soto, I realized they were busy talking about peoples children, how evil some parents were so I raised an eye brow and out of curiosity asked them whose kids are you talking about? And guess what??? They were in fact talking about the television drama hahahah .. I just laughed at them. I said to them wow, it was if you were talking about people we knew.

They amuse me to no end, watching them talk about these dramas it was as if they were talking like its happening in their own lives or to the people they know. My mom and her cousins are fond of Indonesian dramas which they follow religiously obviously. I actually subscribed to an all Malay movie & drama channel for mom .. Keeps her happy makes her happy and in some weird stimulates her mind which she needs at her age. The thing is when they meet up out side like say to go shopping they would be discussing some of these shows. They have the schedule of the shows they enjoy and I have an aunt who would actually hurry back just to catch her favorite show. What is with these women and their drama? *grin* But hey if they are happy than its all fine with me ..

Did you know today is national hug day? Cool huh. I actually received that in my email box and figured it was pretty interesting. So with the magic of copy and paste the little write up is right here …

Did you know...

... that today is National Hugging Day (founded 1986)? This celebration of hugging has been embraced internationally in places such as the United States, Canada, England, Australia, and Germany! Schools, nursing care facilities, hospitals, and numerous other groups and organizations jumped in and held-on-tightly to this exciting, family-friendly event! Share hugs with anyone willing to accept them. :-)

So anyways that was it my day delightful in so many ways starting with hugs in the morning and smiles to end the day .. But before I do here is something my friend Julia sent me today .. Its one of those you have to send it back to certain number of people in return for something wonderful in your life. Ok I am not much of a believer in this but there is are things that I have wanted for a long time to happen to happen lol good things of course .. a girl can hope so anyways I decided to paste what she sent me all of it .. and yes I did send it to 4 people ;)) .. and I hope they send it back to me for this to work … (just having a little fun here…)

Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about the one's who don't. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you can't get them back. So I'm gonna tie you to my heart so I never lose you. Send this to all your friends including me and see how many you get back. Send this balloon to everybody you like You may also return it to me.?? If four balloons are returned to you, something you have been waiting for a long time will happen!!!!

Ok ive had my fun .. peace all ..

Hugs & Detox

The most unlikely combination of detox and hugs for a title, but that’s what this blogs all about actually – detox and hugs. Found a simple detox & healing recipe in my recipe figured I would try it out. I just realized today was cooking day talk about de stressors. Cooking, baking and cleaning are great destressors I think. Its like when you clean you’re in a world of your own – being domesticated isn’t so bad now is it .. especially when you see the fruits of your labor anyways, today that was what today was all about and yes I am actually sleepy and its only nearly midnight, an early night for me today a nice change really, who knows maybe I might even get into the habit of going to bed early than what I think is early for me anyways ..

So another weekend comes to an end ….. school starts tomorrow third week into the new year – wow talk about time flying. I am sitting here enjoying a nice cup of home made herbal drink for detoxing, reading and just pretty much unwinding. I guess I still multi task when it comes to relaxing.. Next week will be a pretty busy week for us at school, preparing for the Chinese New Year Celebrations, Valentines Day soon after and then of course we have our first term evaluations for the kids and the teachers alike. I do believe management wants us to be up to standards every year, though this does not determine promotions or pay raises, it still is recorded. And all this will be happening just before the first term school holidays in March – which is still ways away but time to fly when you’re having ‘fun’ *grin*..

And so back to the detox drink it’s a simple and I have to admit really delicious drink. When I was cooking it, and saw the color and the strong smell of turmeric I panicked and it brought me back to the day when I had to drink just the turmeric juice mixed with galangals trust me not delicious but its suppose to be good for you so anyways this one proved me wrong familiar smells were not valid because when maple syrup and lemon juice was added it tasted great and what do you know its good for you too and rest assured it makes you sleepy or maybe I am just tired who knows haha. Anyways here is the recipe for those are keen on trying .. Its fast its simple and you can get all the ingredients from your own kitchen ..

Ginger Healing Detox Tea with Turmeric

2 cups water

½ tsp powdered ginger

½ tsp powdered turmeric

1 tbsp maple syrup

Juice of ½ lemon

Directions:

1. Bring water to a boil and add powdered herbs

2. Simmer for about 10 mins.

3. Strain

4. Add maple syrup and lemon.

5. Drink warm.

Simple enough right? Delicious and good for you. When you drink it think of it as an adventure something exotic :..

The hugs part of this blog entry is something I was reading from gagirl.com. She has a page on hugs and the many different quotes and explanations of what a hug does. I agree with her seeing that its hugs galore everyday at school. It just makes your day and it’s always nice to share these hugs with people who matter even though they can feel it physically the spiritual sense of it is felt. *smile*. Hugs makes you smile, makes you feel safe, makes you feel warm what can I say it’s a feel good feeling all over. The feeling of a hug is one and touch is another, the warmth of another human being, the care of comfort they offer it does wonders to the soul ..

SO hug someone today it will make their day and yours.

Just before I end this blog entry here is a little quote from that page the last quote from the lot …

A Hug Is Two Hearts Wrapped In Arms

On that note I am off for the night .. Good night world have a great week ahead .

Woman's Motto for 2008

This is one of those words of wisdom that has been passed on around the next for a while now. This i received from my cousin zareen (yeah the one who loves forwarding ;)) ). Sending it out to all you wonderful ladies out there .. Enjoy this and live by it .. have a great weekend...

Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be skinnier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.. So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know-she's got the car, the house, the clothes might be lonely.
'If I have not Loved, I am nothing.'
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.

Look in the mirror in the morning, smile and say, 'I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!'

'Winners make things happen Losers let things happen.'

Be 'Blessed' Ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman.
'To the world you might be one person, but to that one person you just sent this too, it might mean the world to them!
