Doing The Niceties

As far as ‘being nice to people’ goes, I know of people who are going to mention things about criminals, rapists and also mean-spirited people. Yeah, I know they exists and yes, I am disgusted with what they do too but I strongly…and I mean STRONGLY believe that it all happens for a reason and that karma bites hard. So instead of hating on them, I try to detach and let nature take its course and start being thankful that it wasn’t me or my loved ones that they met up with. That I am lucky enough to be here, not raped, not robbed, not murdered, not cheated.

I am currently still here. =))))))

Recently, I did something for the Myanmar refugees’ kids over here in Malaysia with some friends. We pooled together some groceries and stuff and sent it over to their place. I know some really kind and compassionate people who are short on time, don’t have the resources but are willing to reach out to other people who are less fortunate so, I volunteered to help them get their good deed through.

The act of kindness sometimes goes through the wrong way. Some people said stuff like, ‘Aren’t there enough refugees here already?’ and also ‘They’re taking up all our jobs, why are we helping them, anyway? We should be helping our own people’. To me, there is no such thing as our people, your people, their people. There is just ‘PEOPLE’. And these people are ASKING for help.

So, if we can, we do it. If we can’t, then so be it.

Bottom line is that I enjoyed the whole process. I loved seeing them smile. I love it when they say ‘thank you’. Some people thrive on drugs for that kinda high. Some people go shopping. Some people go for movies. Some people buy an iPad...or 2. Some people smoke, some people drink, some people eat, some people puke, some people whine to friends….well, this is my kind of high and it lasts a long, long time! It’s A.MA.ZING!

Believe it or not, acts of kindness really make you feel less alone in this world. It makes you feel connected in a very big way.

So go out there and do something nice to someone you know or DON’T know…for absolutely no freaking reason. It’s crazy stuff! LOL!

You’re AWESOME! Have a splendid Saturday. It is rainy over here and I’ve just done AWESOME lunch and let’s do this weekend shit…

PEACE,

XOXO,

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

Project Wolf Hunting (2022) - Film Review

Less than 10 minutes into the movie, I was already wondering why am I watching this show, and in the dead of the night. But I was thinking to myself, I've toughened up quite a bit when it comes to things like these... Happiness , Signal , Sweet Home , Alice in Borderland , Vagabond , City Hunter , Tunnel ...these crime and sci-fi dramas and films I endured just so that I can watch my favorite actors in action...they must have really built me some mental muscles. Usually, I am the late kind because I want to see what everyone has to say about it...so that I am prepared. I will just present you with reasons to watch and reasons NOT to. Here goes. REASONS TO WATCH If you like Seo In Guk , Jung So Min , Jang Dong Yoon , Sung Dong Il , or maybe even Im Ju Hwan , you might want to endure this film. Hint : If you're a fan of Jang Dong Yoon, maybe watch it. It's interesting. I know we have a lot of post apocalyptic world films all over the place now but this is a little diffe
