..the outrage!! and the mojo..

...Aaaannnddd the fever is still ever prominent within me (oo how dramatic LOL) so I am still resting at home.. I thought I'd be able to go to work this morning but I woke up feeling still quite groggy and lousy not to mention having to make *ahem* a few - a several trips to the bathroom this morning *-_-* Maybe I'll try and do some work in the attic this afternoon instead of goin to the office.. atleast I'll be doing some work.. see, I'm not THAT much of a lazy person =D I'm just a sick person =(

And on top of that I am definitely PMS-ing hence, I've been very emotional.. very, VERY, VERY emotional... and you know you're emotional when you start tearing up and pretty much crying when watching Oprah.. OI! they had some really touching stories yesterday... *sniff-sniff* haha ok so I'm feeling quite silly right now but wait a few minutes, I'll probably be all emotional again lol... so.. things have been quite uneventful but I think I've got a few interesting tidbits for you.. ;)

One book, or rather, two books that I think everyone should read are "Tuesday's with Morrie" and "5 People You Meet In Heaven" by Mitch Albom.. I wouldn't say these are 'self-help' kinda books but I think that they are very inspiring and give you a new perspective on life and more importantly the people in your life. Tuesdays with Morrie is basically about Mitch Albom going every Tuesday to see his old, dying college professor and from there, gains this new perspective on life. I haven't finished reading the entire book yet but so far its been pretty good.. here's an excerpt from the book:

"Have I told you about the tension of opposites?" he says.
The tension of opposites?
"Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else. Something hurts you, yet you know it shouldn't. You take certain things for granted, even when you know you should never take anything for granted.
"A tension of opposites, like a pull on a rubber band. And most of us live somewhere in the middle."
Sounds like a wrestling match, I say.
"A wrestling match." He laughs. "Yes, you could describe life that way."
So which side wins, I ask?
"Which side wins?"
He smiles at me, the crinkled eyes, the crooked teeth.
"Love wins. Love always wins."

*sigh* how touching.. haha well whether I was being emotional or not, I think that this book is very inspiring and eye-opening. After reading.. maybe half of this book I've already realised how much of the time we don't really engage ourselves in human things.. such as spending time with people that we love, so many people nowadays don't give love to give love but in the hopes of getting something back... hardly anybody helps anyone anymore.. so many people are caught up in making money to finance their lives and don't realise that they've wasted their lives away worrying about petty things. Here's another quote:

"Mitch," he said, "the culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks-we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep gonig. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?"

So there you go.. gives you something to think about seriously huh? I'm now starting to take the time to sorta think about stuff in that way. It's hard, since we're always used to thinking about materialistic things such as those mentioned in the quote.. Even now I'm starting to think of different things that I can do besides possibly being a lawyer as I've kind of realised maybe it's not the right type of career thats suited for me. (and not just because of the whole office thing). But yea, take a minute out of a day to think.... (or, READ THE BOOK, haha find out more...)

Hmmm.. what other life altering things did I learn yesterday? haha... nothing much actually.. I was pretty much just REALLY emotional.. sick.. got my hair done.. =) Hopefully I'll be better by tomoro so I'll be able to party tomorro...

Omg, I just remembered..yesterday on Oprah.. the most bizarre thing happened to this couple... What happened was that this young couple just got married and 2 days later on the way to their honeymoon, the husband got amnesia and forgot EVERYTHING.. he forgot that he was married.. didn't know his wife OR his parents, how sad... poor wife.. and he lost his memory for about a year.. before he finally got it back.. and when it came back.. it just all of a sudden flashed back.. sort of like a movie.... 0o0o0o ... I would hate that to happen to me.. =( hmph... what would you do if you did though? Would you stick with your husband hoping that he'd eventually get his memory back? would you take the risk of being a stranger to him and hoping that he'll fall in love with you again for as long as it takes? and what if he doesn't end up falling in love with you again if he doesn't get his memory back?? ...I wonder what I would do... I'd probably stay with my husband... I think that I'd love him too much to let him go... unless he told me one day that he just doesn't love me... sigghh.. how sad.. hahaha...

Anyhoo, for those of you who don't know, NANA has started up her own blog.. and for the first post she's got a pretty funny pic up. lol.. look her up in the side bar ;) And I think I will go and relax for now... and.. to brighten up everyones day today I will leave you all with a pic.. Enjoy.
