The Short Hair Scandal

Except for a short period of my life where I donned long hair (which was mightily unkempt), I've mostly sported the short or bob hair cut. I just didn't have the time to deal with the straightening, curling, or whatever it is that women are required to do before they get out of the house to buy a bag of salt from the grocery store.

I've wanted to write something about how An San, a rising archer from South Korea, got flack for sporting a short crop. Despite her performing with near stellar perfection.

How is having short hair a sign or declaration of anti-men?

Are men who wear their hair long anti-women, then? I don't even know where this is going because it doesn't even make sense. LOL.

Short hair is simply easier to manage. The flip side is that if you have to attend a gala or a big event, short hair is even harder to style!

PLUS, some women just look fantabulous with a short crop! Miley Cyrus, Katie Holmes, Michelle Williams, Meg Ryan, Natalie Portman, Jamie Lee Curtis, Victoria Beckham (I don't even remember her in long hair - lol), Katy Perry...so on and so forth.

And have you seen Anne Hathaway and Emma Watson in a boyish or bob hairstyles?

Get a grip.

I let that one blow past me. I pick my battles. But recently, another South Korean actress/entertainer got criticized harshly for chopping off her locks.

Song Ji Hyo, for as long as we remember, has always worn her hair long. Whatever wind blew her way that day, she decided to be free with the clipper and scissors. She went with the pixie cut and internet citizens went berserk!

Some people even demanded her stylist be fired. Like wow. You guys really know your priorities.

Come on, guys. Short hair is cool, it's chic, it's classy, it's convenient, and if someone wants to chop their locks off, so be it.

And what does short hair have to do with anti-men? Please, fill me on this one. I have no freaking idea.

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...
