Massage to Goodness

That's what I do when I don't feel good, I massage myself. 

These past few days, I am very much under the weather since my virus (colds) is still in my system.  I'm feeling fatigue seeping in because aside from the colds, I have my monthly visit.  Colds and red tide, together in harmony to make me feel miserable.

Solutions?  Since I can't enjoy resting as much as I would want to, and blogging and reading added to that, I venture to making myself feel well by vitamins and massages.  I do reflexology and acupressure to myself. 

Does it work? 

Yes it does.  You see, I believe in Chinese medicine, in ancient healing and I know that our body can heal itself given the right food and opening up blocked qi. 

Try doing some massages yourself, it will do you good.  But of course, if you can pay somebody to do it for you, the better.  And since it's quite expensive to have the kind of massage I'm longing to get, I make do with what I can for now. 

But when I get back home, I think I would love to have one everyday - if possible.

Blocking the Hands to Type

Yesterday, I was so full of things to blog.

Words were just flowing and wanting to get written, I think I would have written a thousand words IF I ever wrote it.  With the busy schedule yesterday, and the feeling I really need the sleep I deserved, I thought of writing those thoughts now, instead of yesterday.  And that's where I'm sooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO wrong.

Words, once formed in mind, MUST be written down RIGHT AWAY.  If not, then so long ideas.  Say goodbye to those quirky and interesting thoughts that fleetingly weaved its way in my mind which bid goodbye and never even ONCE looked back.  See me looking for those words, but this was all I can muster.

Oh well, I guess that's what this is all about.  Instead of expressing those happy thoughts, I ended up ranting about those supposed happy thoughts.

I closed my eyes and I can see nothing.  I see nothing of those words that formed quite eloquently yesterday.  Wasted.  Ah, yes, I SEE, not remember.  That's what you get from being visual.  Not that I have a photographic memory then I would have snapped still those thoughts.  There I go again.

Music Monday: Alice

Just had to feature this song from the movie Alice in Wonderland.  I like it and the fact that this is the first time since we came here in US that we really made the time to watch movie on the big screen - and not just any screen, but a 3D one at that.  Thus this video.

How Many Movies Have You Seen In Your Lifetime?

I'm an avid moviegoer.  Back home, when the movies were good, you bet I'll be finished watching them in a week.  My hubby, who was not as much addicted to the big screen like me, became one.  Our dates consists of movies and hotdogs.  We usually catch the last hour just the two of us, sometimes, thrice a week.

But eversince we came here, we haven't stepped inside a cinema - ever.  There were too many good movies we've missed, I've missed.  I'd have to be content with TV (although TV here is normally like a mini-movie screen the smallest being 35" - the size of our TV - but our landlord got this TV in the living room twice as big as ours) but it never replaces the big screen.  I would always opt to go to a cinema, it might be cheaper to watch it at home, but there's just the thrill of being inside the cinema (maybe because there's no distraction unless you bring your children with you and you're watching Meet the Fockers - drat - as if you'll be able to see such movies with kids in tow) and not just for popcorns (which we always have here for those 'movie moments' - and my favorite is the Orville Popcorn).  I still can't figure out what exactly makes watching the big screen cool.

Ok, where was I?  Ah, the title.  How many movies have you seen eversince you can remember?  What movies/tv shows left an impression on you?

Me, I don't remember all of them, but I sure am able to recognize them if and when I came across with them.  And I do remember that one of the movies I can watch over and over again is The Sound of Music.  Who doesn't?  What about you?

Changing Header Title

Now that I'm at it - I am thinking of changing THE title of this blog - way of life - doesn't seem fitting anymore.  Although I would miss that title, I can't keep up to it.  I have thought of a better expression to what this blog really is - ENCOUNTERS.

This seem apt for the reasons that:
- I post what I've read in emails and surfing.
- I rant about my imperfect life, some of the time.
- I try to post some snaps.
- it looks like I blog something when I encounter something interesting for blogging.


Before, it used to be Way of Life, encounters of daily living...but I just could not keep up to the 'daily' part, so I deleted it.  Then I look - I really look - at the way of life part and thinking, way of life?  Huh?

I don't even know why I entitled it that way - I just remember that I thought of a road or a path - to what?

It really got me stumped when I am being static - physically, financially, intellectually.  The only thing that's ever-changing is my emotional state thanks to hormones and the worst colds I ever had.

So, I'm changing the title.  FYI.
