Another one down, 3 more to go.

Just celebrated my 37th birthday yesterday. My boyfriend asked, "How do you feel? Being one year older?" I thought about it for a second and said, "Urrrg...about the same?!" He replied, "Yeah...that's about right!". Oh well, I am considering throwing a big party for my big Four-O. A round-the-world trip would be beyond awesome. Will see how it goes...

I don't recognize myself!!

I looked at myself in the mirror tonight, and I didn't recognize this
face! It is the weirdest thing I felt I years!! How come I don't
recognize myself in the mirror??? Am I going crazy? So strange...

Lucky day?

My birthday is not until a few days later, and I've got a treat
already. Whenever I order BBQ Pork and Chicken Rice, I usually
receive boney chicken with little meat. When I saw this lovely rice
plate shoved in front of me over the fast food counter, I was
completely shocked. Half a chicken leg!!! AND no fat on BBQ pork!
Do I look very pretty today so the chef decided to be nice to me??
Anyway, I am feeling lucky today with a very satisfied stomach.

A Breakthrough!?

A new month began. Yesterday, I decided to take a plunge and bought a domain name with web hosting as the first baby step to starting my own business. Today, I went to my daily yoga class as usual. Tried to take it easy today and didn't expect anything special to happen. What can happen in a Hatha1 class anyway? Towards the end of the class, our instructor told us to get ready to do the Wheel pose. I had never been able to the the pose. The best I could do was to stick the top of my head on the floor to support the weight of my upper body. The instructor told us not to be afraid and try even if we can't do it. She said the Wheel pose just came to her all of a sudden and it will happen to us too! And VOILA!!! It happened to ME!!! Although I can only hold the pose for 2 seconds, I am beyond thrilled...just like the first time I was able to stick the top of my head on the floor trying to do this pose! Today is a day to be remembered! :D

Current Status: Temporarily Retired

It's been almost 5 months since I quit my job.  Totally loving this new life but I have trouble filling out forms for the "Occupation" section.  I'm obviously not a Housewife and it's not nice to use the word Unemployed.  A young woman who sat next to me in a restaurant today is in a similar situation.  I shamelessly eavesdropped on her conversation with the 2 men who sat next to her on the other side.  Apparently, she's quit her job a few months ago and has been traveling around Asia with an open end ticket.  She called herself retired and I should use this status as well.  Unfortunately, I can't afford to be retired for much longer so it will have to be temporary!

Please don't talk to me

I try to be loyal to a single hairdresser and/or a hair salon.  The reality is I just can't, because they just wouldn't such the F up!!  First, it's the hair washing person (can't be sure of the gender...extreme unisex appearance)!  Then, it's the hairdresser.  I understand they are under a lot of pressure for selling expensive products and treatments I don't need.  Just cut the crap and cut the small talk!  It's hard enough to find a person who can cut hair properly at a reasonable price.  I don't want to drift from one salon to another.  Just leave me alone!!!

He's gone!

I'm away for 2 weeks and came back to find out my favorite yoga teacher is gone!  :(  Hopefully, he's only away for vacation.
