Things You Have To Say More Often

Last week was a funny one. If there is one thing I have trouble saying to anyone, myself included, it is the word 'NO'. I go with everything and sometimes think that, maybe, perhaps, I owe it to people to say 'Yes' to freaking everything.

There are a few people in this world who knows this about me. So, I said 'No' to a couple of things and people this week and....get this....I got a 'Congratulations. In a strange, weird way, I am so proud of you!' LOL

So, I found this article detailing out 10 things that we should be saying more often so that we can all live in a Rainbow Colored World filled with confetti and unicorns and I found myself agreeing to most of them and noting that I need to remember them.

I love saying 'It's a possibility' when people propose stuff or say something can be done. It's like 'I think we can reverse time' and I go 'It's a possibility'. Powerful, isn't it? hahaha. It's impractical but hey, 'It's a possibility' still!

I don't have a problem with saying 'I Love You' because I am like, I-Love-You everyday in and out with my kids and friends. I don't know, for some reason, I like saying I love you because when I was younger, it wasn't something we say to each other, whether family or friends, easily.

We are Asian and Asians don't say 'I Love You' unless he is a cute guy professing his undying love for you. Stereotypical, sure. Fact, absolutely. You practically have to wranggle an 'I Love You' from a boyfriend or husband in this region of the world. If your husband says it to you in a room packed with men without having to resort to a whisper, buy a lottery. You're friggin' lucky and I hate you. lol.

I never hesitate saying 'I Love You' as I grew up. Partly because I am mushy that way. I am also sarcastic, by the way, and sometimes I can dig up old stuff just to get you irked as a way of teasing you or to make you roll your eyes or threaten to send a 100,000 cockroaches to me via courier (THAT is NOT an idea, if you do, you will be on my hit list, I promise you) but I don't have problems saying 'I Love You'.

Have a read at the link and see if you have problems saying any of those phrases.

Having a splendid Saturday because I went to Digital Mall and solved my never-ending paranoia about my phone battery dying just as I am about to send out an S.O.S. from a stranded island or something. Yeah, I got a backup battery. And I already have 4 power banks. Yes, I know. ;-P

It's funny but Digital Mall is much more my kind of mall than something like say....clothes, shoe, makeup or perfume. Yes, I do those stuff too (yes, I have had to be dragged out by the hair out of Body Shop before) but not just as twinkly-eyed as I would be when I am in Digital Mall.

Funny kind of woman, me.
Love,
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...
