DAY 7 - Musings...

Hmmnn...today is very strange indeed, woke ups suddenly wanting to do everything and in fact doing nothing! bleh! Then suddenly i got thinking about my "JUKI" i hauled it all the way from France and now its sitting in the closet all by itself in the dark not doing anything. So i told hubby today is the day im going to crank up my "JUKI" and need the folding picnic table which is in the car so, right after lunch thought i would give it a go..but...what am i going to sew?? This is when i need my best buddy Zura to help^me out in this department hehehe. Since highschool, during when we took "SAINS RUMAHTANGGA" she was always the champions of the champions! As for me... blek! my sewing was really bad and i didnt have the patience of a monk to do any sewing but Zura was always there to help me out in any predicament that i have with the subject of sewing. I remembered when we were doing "baju kurung modern" i had so much problem with the sleeves which have a slight pleats on it and of course Zura came to the rescue and made it all fine again :) hehehe....and now... she have her own sewing blog which i adore so much coz i cant imagine doing what she does its just pure talent i must say. And so she is also the woman behind the works of my lovely flower girl dresses during when i got married last year and its just manifique!! If you want to check her blog out here is Sew Cute



Ok back to my musing so i have my "JUKI" here with me just need to find out what am i going to sew i have a few cotton materials i got from my last visit back to Malaysia so at least i have something to create something. Ah well, i will look in the net for some simple ultra ultra simple project for me to do...i will update later on this project of mine ok :)

And by the way, here is Day 8 of our greens :)

(-_-) 5 DON'TS when you are sleeping

Just something i got from a friend which i find hilarious but have some meaning to it..but anyhow, in other words, Just dont sleep! hahaha

1 DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH

Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity.Though small, but if you wear your watch to bedfor a long time, it might have adverse effects on your health.

2 DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA

Scientists in America have discovered those thatwear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer.So go to bed without it.

3 DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE

Putting the phone beside your bed or anywherenear you is not encouraged.Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, but please put the phone as far as possible.Scientists have proved that electrical items includingmobile phone and television sets emit magnetic waves when used.These waves can cause disruptions to our nervous system.Therefore if you need to put your mo! bile phone near you,switch it off first.

4 DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP ON

People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to havedifficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring.You will also need a much longer time to go into deep sleep.

Lastly.....

5 DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE / HUSBAND

You may never wake up again. : )

Pagal he!

Exercise to Get High

Can you actually get high from exercise? Many people report a feeling of euphoria after engaging in exerting fitness routines such as running, swimming, biking and heavy workouts at the gym.According to Harvard Medical School psychiatrist , Dr. John Ratey, "There is a runner's high but most people really do not get it. Almost everyone, however, gets a boost in mood and usually fairly quickly.

"Dr. Ratey has written a book, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain that is due out in January, 2008.While the phenomenon is still not completely understood, studies conducted at the American College of Sports Medicine show that exercise seems to raise levels of various chemicals in our body that help to elevate our mood.

If the thought of getting physically fit and improving your overall well-being isn't inspiration enough, consider that a serious exercise routine may actually give you a "high" and improve your mood.

Staying Together

A LITTLE RELATIONSHIP ADVICE

It's best to wait for the one you want than settle for the one available. Best to wait for the one you love than one who's around. Best to wait for the right one because life's too short to be wasted on just someone.

"An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye. Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem make you blind to warning signs.

Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone

or that what you see as faults aren't really that important. Once you decide to commit to someone, over time, their flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves,and differences will become more obvious.

If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn how to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.

Neither one of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other?Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete,compare and control?What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain?

You can't take someone to the altar to alter them. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life" you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for
your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship. Seeking status, sex, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship.

What keeps a relationship strong?
- communication
- intimacy
- a sense of humor
- sharing household tasks
- some getaway time without business or children
- daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a
note)
- sharing common goals and interests
- giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure
- giving each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment
- asking God to be the center of your relationship

If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment,withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty and pain replace the passion.

"As long as we have memories, yesterday remains. As long as we have hope, tomorrow awaits. As long as we have friendship, today is beautiful."

Love is when you take away the feeling, the passion, and the romance in a relationship and find out that you still care for that person.

God made woman from man's rib --
not from his head to top him,
nor from his feet to be walked upon;
but from his side to be his partner in life,
from under his arm to be protected by him,
and from near his heart to be loved by him.
