I am one lucky bitch

I've just got to rattle this off of my chest before I resign for the day. It's late....and I have an early morning and perhaps, a longer day.

I think I am one lucky bitch....and here's why.

Bakery, market, restaurants, and myriad of different amenities and conveniences are merely 5 minutes drive away.

Kids' school is 4 minutes walk away.

GIANT (for groceries) is 8 minutes drive away.

The park (a rather nice but a little lacking) is 6 minutes walk away.

A friend's restaurant is 3 minutes drive away.

Stationery shop is 3 minutes drive away.

Office is 0 minutes away.

In-laws' place is about 12 minutes drive away.

I get to earn a living and raise my kids at the same time.

I decide how I work.

I have a nice house.

...and a nice kitchen.

I continue to have new clients with new projects to work on (which also means that it's about time I learn how to outsource and trust other people) in this troubled economy.

I have friends who would come to my aid within a heart beat.

I have been successful in realizing a dream of working within my own rules and earning a decent income (could be more but then....let's not go down that road) when others are still striving to do the same in this horrible, horrible year.

My boys may be rowdy sometimes (TWO boys, DOUBLE trouble) but generally speaking, they listen to me, love me and would do anything for me.

I have clients who are absolutely in love with me and do things that even some relatives would not have. *ping me if you know who you are* :-)

Eventhough I am not an exceptional writer and yet people have faith in me and believe that I know what I am doing....they don't question me and ask me stuff like 'sure or not???' but they just tell me what they want and let me do my thing. And THAT says a lot.

I am almost done with my piano....this childhood dream can finally be realized. :-) How many people actually realize their childhood dream at the age of 30-something.

I've committed almost every conceivable sin that I have an inclination for without falling into harm's way so that I am in a better position to guide my kids (BOYS!) in the future.

But most importantly, I suddenly realize that I am one lucky bitch because, you know, in the face of what's happening around us, I am alive. I have one more day to live and one more chance to enjoy what earth has to share within me.

Stargazer - Stretch Those Sides

I have been doing this pose, part of Cosmic Dance (a type of yoga, I am assuming), called Stargazer pose without knowing it is called Stargazer's pose a lot in the past. You see, sometimes, I don't follow the rules and come up with my own stretches and poses. It is fun. I have on some music, nice, soothing music or just anything I can click on. Then I go with the flow, letting my hair down. Just moving to the music...and that is when I come up with the above Stargazer's pose. This pose really stretches your sides. Keep your eyes on the outstretched hand if you are keeping it pointed to the top, as if you are waving or connecting to a higher energy from the Universe. Your arms will ache a little but hey, toned arms, here you come! :-) For those who want a bigger stretch, it is safe to slowly and gently move the lifted hand towards your back...don't overdo it, listen to your body's complaints and respect it. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, reme...

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...
