For once since a long time [a time I can't recall] ago, my brains and body are talking in 1 same language - no need to exercise!
Yes, despite not having a single itinerary on or plan from now till the time I get to bed, it's quite an awesome feeling.
For once, I feel great having not to run or even walk or even cycle or even do some yoga or even do something.
For once, I feel so free and liberated that I am not bound by anything over a period of time and it sure is fucking great feeling this way.
It's been awhile.
Yes, I've read a bit, I scantily went through the Angkor book, just to touch base on grounds I've missed. Not too bad, I now know the Hindu Trinity - Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma. How Ramayana came about from these 3 fellas and the list goes. Not too bad. I learnt something new today.
I got a book on Stress Management. As usual, I skimmed through it [only proper books with story lines could win my undivided attention of reading word for word, sentence for sentence] and found nothing much I don't know about stress. So I think I would just wrap it up and give it to my brother who most times, need some stress management to pull him through his super duper busy life. Hah hah.
My thought suddenly came to buying myself a better camera which could allow me to focus well enough and capture moments. I have been wanting to do that for awhile but most times, I'm too lazy having to lug that gadget around everywhere I go. Yet, most often that not, I have caught glimpse of point and views which I always tell myself, "Hey, this would be a nice shot if someone is to capture it on camera." Or even, "Darn, if only I have a camera now."
Then again, I'll let this thought pass because I don't think I want to get into photography. I have just too many passion to live by. Haha. Honestly. I have more than I can handle. Besides, I don't fancy taking pictures, I fancy enjoying the pictures more than anything else. So you'll always here the 'Wow' "So nice" "Wahhhh" and "OMG, this is beyond words."
Yesterday, I caught "Eat, Pray, Love" and I can't help myself falling in love with life. I can't help smiling over the spaghetti, the pizzas, the life Italy has that we normally forget that we can also have, the meditation, simplicity of life in India, the glow that immerse from inner peace and contentment, the tropical lifestyle in Bali, falling in love with love itself and enjoying the moment in life that life has for us...
It's a good movie, even better, read the book, it's invigorating. I felt it like those bead scrub that you use on your face weekly just to get rid of stubborn dirt and grim and dead cells. After the ritual, you always been softer, glowy and ravished. That sort of feeling.
So when everything is all goody but when my thoughts linger back about work, that is when you will see that small cringe on the forehead, the disappearing glow and inner smile.
What has work gotten into me? Hmm, I supposed, I need to find that equilibrium that I used to muster so well. It can't be that after 12 crazy years of corporate climbing, I am starting to break right? The batter would have been tougher than a stale dried flour... Hehe...
Well, for one, I'm getting back my sense of humor. So I supposed, that is good news. Anyway, I don't even have anything in mind to do now (see what happens when a person breaks her routine, like no running or yoga or cycle or bla bla bla), the weather is fantastic and I'm sad to say, my other conscious mind, is poking me with the Devil's fork wondering if I should just get out there and walk up the hills. Why?
It's a lovely day, it has ended with just- after- rain feel where the air is fresh and clean.
Ah, I think I better pick a good book and read myself silly. It'll be a better thing for my well being. Looking at things now, the neck is at its road to REAL recovery and I might as well, not take the chances and break the entire healing and get back to square 1.
Afterall also, now that to me, my running the distance regime is officially over for me, I am hanging my shoes (not in literal sense, I'll be running with shorter distances that doesn't make me puke from over running) and needing to take up yoga in intense to build more strength so that I would be ready for the next challenge. I so need this break.
And yoga means, I must have a recovered neck muscles to do head stands and whatever else poises that required shouldering the neck strength.
So much for now... I've actually listed the names of people to give up Xmas presents, so as time goes by, I'll take my time, wrapping them up and labelling them for the folks.
At the same time, for those whom I don't feel much of spending on gifts, I've decided to write a personal thank you note for being a nice person in my life (mostly work colleagues who have relentless helped me out without prejudice of intentions).
There. Enough rambling for today. I'm going to have an early dinner now because I'm actually starving. Hastalavista beh-bay.
