Perfect Love

You need realistic people around you.

I'm so grateful for friends who keep me grounded.

Prissy?
I'm forever grateful that God blessed me with your friendship.
Aunt Y might not have been right when she said I was to guide you in your spiritual walk with God...
You've been guiding me these few times.
You've been my motivator, my encouragement and my assurance.
I see now where I went astray and I'm thankful.

Essie?
I think I've lost count of the number of times you've been my support...
Wait... was it 100-million times? No no... more like a bazillion-million-and-one times...
Be it whining over a broken nail (gawd.. 'bimbo!!') to crying over emotionally-written letters...
You've never complained, never lost your stamina, never been impatient and never left me alone.
What else can I say except to tell you that I'll always be there for you too.
You have a Bestie in me!

I've got many other people to personally thank.
I've got a whole lot of blessings more to count.
Recent tragic events have woken me up to the fact that youth and health is not perpetual.
No one is immortal or indefatigable.
That's why it's never wise to rely on your own strength.
That's why God put other stronger people in your life.
In fact, that's why He put you in other people's lives as well...
Don't challenge the Creator...
Just have some faith already.
Don't take Him for granted.
Don't take what He gave/gives you for granted.

I'm still on my way to understanding myself.
My loves, likes, strengths, weaknesses...
Still seeking to discover my place in the world and God's purpose for me in this place.
All I ask for is wisdom, strength, patience and guidance.
Also... the ability to have perfect Faith to accept wholeheartedly wherever you may lead me.
You know best.
I know less.
I trust You...

Fellow Scoopys

I've got great people around me.
People who care.
People who love.
People who pamper.
People who listen...

It's no secret that I've sprained my wrist...
What did fellow scoopys at Ben&Jerry's do?
They pre-shaped the ice-cream so I would not have to use brut force to do it.

My birthday is coming up...
What did fellow scoopys at Ben&Jerry's ask me to do?
Bring an extra outfit to work...

Oh Boy...

Health-i

AND...

New fitness regime coming up...
Honestly... it's more of a Confidence Regime.
I miss having the inner confidence whereby you are so fit that you know you can outrun people, are more agile than others, know that you look good...etc...

I used to feel like that, so much so that I wished that someone would do a snatch theft on me and I'll run after that bugger and hammer him or her...because I know I can...

SO...
It started this morning.
Got out of bed at 7.15am and ran to McRitchie's Fitness corner A and back home.
Total distance covered... According to route markers... About 3km.
Not too far, but it's just a start.

McRitchie is great...
Wildlife and all...
BUT
While at the fitness station doing sit-ups and push-ups and all that torturous stuff...
A monkey sneaked up on me and stole my water bottle!
It just snatched my blue bottle off the bench!
Then a group of American tourists just stood around laughing and taking photographs and asking me rhetorical questions.
So much for encouragement...

I'm going to run like that every Tuesday and Thursday.
Before work.
I could and I should.
3km... is still a distance.
And... it's bloody brilliant for me already because I have something against running.

Thinking of changing my diet too.
Maybe lose some unnecessary weight.
Breakfast would be fruit.
No rice (I'm already not eating rice)
No carbonated sweet drinks.
No white sugar...
Think I'll be able to survive on this diet?

It's going to be tough.
But to look good and to up my game...
I'm willing to try.
Might try gym too... Not that I know what to do there...as of yet...

GARH!!!
Healthy living!
Here I come!
