The Cleansing That Comes With Rain

You know how when you are indoors, the after-rain smell is very rejuvenating. It is like a blessing from the sky. A form of cleansing. Like the water just came to wash away all the smog, smoke and dust in the air? You gotta give that a lot of lurve, baybae.

I remember a time when I was younger (and much more courageous), I loved walking in the rain. Better yet if it was a fierce, growling, and snapping thunderstorm. I would bellow up into the sky, 'Is that all YOUUUUU'''VEEEEE GGGOOOOOTTTTTT! I AAMMMMM RRRIIIIGGGHHHTTTT HHHHEEEERRREEEE!!!'

LOL.

You mix around with crazy friends, you get crazy response.

I love my life now, make no mistake about it. There is stability, the unknown, the scary, the effing terrifying, the known, the predictable, the love, the mistakes, the laughter, the friends....love everything about it. Especially the experiences.

I used to wallow around because of the mistakes that I did when I was younger but those are precious. I won't lie and say that I have let everything go. No, I have not. What am I, Mother Theresa? But many of the things have been washed away like the rain washing away painful memories. The effects remain but sometimes, the memory stays on.

Ah well...like they say, everyone is a work in progress. Shall we continue marching on our way to become better people? I say we shall.


p.s. I know, right? I like taking pictures of the sky, right? Fly...Marsha, Fly! Become a birrrrdddd!!!

I guess I don't need crazy friends to be crazy. >.<

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...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...
