A Month Going Without WHAT?!

I am all for, you know, the whole Zen living thing, being simple, yoga, exercise, eat right etc but the notion of having to go a month without television, radio, music...and *cough *cough *up *blood my devices and phone would be an atrocious idea. Oh, I am in such a polite mood, am I not? =)

But this man kind of made it through the ~~ORDEAL~~ experience of getting by the whole month without television, radio or I suppose any other distracting entertainment and I have to give KUDOS where KUDOS is due. OK, so it was selective elimination, he wrote but still. That is an incredibly hard feat to beat in the modern world that we live in today.

I thrive, no, my work....no, wait, my LIFE thrives on the fact that nearly everything is borderless with the internet. Perhaps, I would have to admit that THAT is the reason why we suffer today - the inability to actually carry a proper conversation with your friends without bringing up his or her latest Facebook status update. The inability to sit through dinner without wondering which celeb tweeted what. The astounding silence that rings in a room when there is NO WIFI!!!! NO WI-WHAT?

I can't imagine that. NO.

And no WaLaiToi? No KBSWorld? No EOnline?

Now sugar, I can probably live without. I don't know, when I was younger, I had run-ins with an eating disorder because I felt like I was the fattest animal to roam the planet all the time even when I was wafer thin. I didn't know the name then but I know it to be anorexia now.

Don't worry, I am still alive and well....kinda....most of the time so, I am more aware of what it can do to people. Therefore, you can safely conclude that I lay off sugar like I lay off cockroaches. So, I can probably do the NO SUGAR challenge....except that, what do I put in my Nescafe now?

Let me negotiate with my inner being for a while to see if planting one small dash of sugar into my morning drink warrants sending me to the gallows for the sinners of everything healthy.

And in the meantime, rock on, folks. Rock on. And maybe sleep well too.

XOXO,
Marsha

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 ...
