thoughtful friday

While there seems to be an abundance of happily married couples amongst friends, colleagues and relatives there alsocases that seem somewhat less ideal.

I wonder what events drive couples, especially newly weds--less than 5 years into the marriage to that place when one or both become contemptuous.

It can't be the duration of the relationship. Or the fact that they are married.

P1: How does that sit with her? She is okay with it?
P2: No, but so what?

PG: (smiles)
PT: by the way that dress (point to dress), it's not your national costume is it?
PG: nope. not a costume.

of all time

A friend looks away--seeming very thoughtful.

T: what are you thinking about?
H: it's just that the more I think about it, the more I realise...
T: realise what?
H: that kanye was right.
T: about?
H: that single ladies should have won best video.

my niece when she was barely three years old.

you're that kind

T: There is that kind. At first glance, you think wow, then later you think quite good until one day it just becomes not bad. In some cases, it goes down to umm, not really.

A: I know what you mean. But then there's the other kind.

T: Yeah. It would start would one thing. And one seemingly ordinary day you think wow.

A: I think you're that kind... the grows on you kind.

management

I had been postponing watching this movie. I'm glad however, that I was finally able to see it. Steve Zahn made the movie for me, in fact the cast was really good. Don't get me started with Woody Harrelson! I wouldn't have picked Jennifer Aniston though.

I'm not sure how the director did it, somewhat each act seemed somewhat more real. I won't give out spoilers, but I would say that it took cute out of the equation and left the bare facts to be seen.

I liked this movie.

(out of) reach

There is one yoga pose that I always felt that I am hopeless at, at the beginning of that pose I always always get dizzy.

One instructor told me that it was an emotional pose. And that the reason behind my inability to go even halfway through into is that I refuse to let go. He said that I shouldn't be so determined to keep feelings at bay. Hmmmmm.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emotional. Not really a word that could be used to describe me. Maybe I'm doomed to sit and breathe while everyone else are in their camel positions. Forever.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I like attending classes conducted different instructors. Each one focuses on different things. It was not uncommon for me to discover things that I am doing wrong.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Today, the instructor talked about fear. She said that the only reason anyone couldn't do the pose is fear. I wanted to say "what about a bad back?", but I don't want to be banned from class.

I thought (Jester, be with me here) "I may be a lot of things, but I am not a coward". (Horror movies and ghost stories not included!)

So I leaned back, bent back, reached back, and was suddenly in full camel position. For two sets. With the rest of the class.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is strange how I don't feel any more emotional :-p

spoonful of sugar

There would be days wherein I crave for something salty then something sweet then something salty again....

For days at a time, usually.

Yesterday was one of those damn days. As I was running out of sweets after some oreo white chocolate, big bang, cloud nine and a choco chip granola bar, I got a spoon heaped with brown sugar and put it in my mouth. Low point.

very special

This is one of my favorites. Somehow, it went with so many things. It is also very comfortable despite the height. It had been due to go a long time ago, but I held on to it because letting go is sometimes not the easiest thing to do. My wish for it is to find someone who can love it more than I ever did.

Yes. I am still writing about shoes ;)
