Wedding, Tires And Socks

I know I've not been blogging much. I know I know I know....bad, bad, bad.

But so much has been happening, you know. Around the world and in my life. My brother got married, FUWAH!! Can't wait for kids to start popping out. Teeheehee.... The event itself was one major....back-breaker. I did not know that there was so much to do and spend on when a family member is getting married. It's so much more different from when you are attending SOMEONE ELSE's wedding whereby you get ready, pop by, yam-seng and go.

It was fun and exciting at the same time.

Maybe it was due to the fact that I busted my tires on Friday night, one night before the wedding! Thanks to a friend, who eventually also gave up on putting the tires back on the car, got ONE tire fixed only to be told that the other is on the verge of 'exploding'. Yup. I get this all the time. Never check on car tires and then the mechanics and all the men go 'tsk tsk tsk'.

What? Listen up. Here's what I do with a car. I drive the car. I go up to the car, I beep the door open. I open the door. I go inside. I start the engine and I drive.

I don't make it a point to check the car tires, alright? It's just not my thing.

Maybe it SHOULD be my thing.

Anyway, with the tire issue and the wedding out of the way, I have one more thing to do before my life becomes normal again - packing socks off for the folks in Japan. It's just one of those efforts that some of us are doing for the people who are suffering in Japan. Something small, I guess.

I am surprised at how amazingly kind most people are when it comes to aiding others. Pleasantly surprised that friends from near and far who handed me their cash and then bunches and bags of socks to be contributed towards a good cause.

Very heartening, really.

So, here goes my Wednesday. Hope you have a swell one.

My note to Japanese people who are suffering because of the quake and tsunami:

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 ...
