Holiday is here

I finally have my leave approved for two whole weeks (with a little white lie..hehe)...my leaves start today...wow!!! and I am so relieved and refreshing. I can now rest, rest and rest. No irate customer, No customer's issue/query, No pre/post shift meet, No "Bte, will you be taking the shift meet?/Can we leave?" once the shift ends, No meeting with the managers, No "uh oh, have I done something wrong?" when your Ops. Manager called you...aaaahhh..at least for the next two weeks...a real relief.

However, I hate the fact that I will not be able to spend it with my family..but...my sister, cousin sister, nephew, friends and .... are here so I am trying to make the most of it.

I haven't done my Christmas shopping yet which I hope to have by tomorrow. Ok, what will I get for myself - new shoes?, new jeans?, new sweater?, new boots?...decisions, decisions..contribution would be appreciated *GRIN*. Anyway, I have trimmed the tree but still have to work with the decorative lights in the balcony.




Anyway, here's a few lines from one the most beautiful Christmas songs:

City sidewalks, Busy sidewalks, Dressed in holiday style
In the air there's A feeling of Christmas
Children laughing, People passing, Meeting smile after smile
And on everyStreet corner you'll hear

Silver Bells, Silver Bells
It's Christmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them sing
Soon it will be Christmas Day


Merry Christmas to all!!! God bless! And Peace

18 and still counting...???

I came across a quite an interesting news while browsing Pople's website. It was about this Duggar family who has the 18th child...wow. I wonder where they get all the energy from:P. It makes me wonder if my good friend Kima, formerly known as Silverchild, would be able to top that..hehe.

On a serious note..come to think of it...18 kids and still counting?? As reported:


Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar of Tontitown, Ark., had their eighteenth child Thursday – Jordyn-Grace Makiya, who joins the rest of her J-named siblings. Jordyn-Grace was born via C-section at Mercy Medical Center in Rogers, weeks before her due date of Jan. 1. She weighed in at 7 lbs, 3 oz and was 20 inches long. "Mother and baby are resting and doing well," says a rep for the Duggar family, whose crowded house is featured on the TLC network show 17 Kids & Counting.

For Jim and Michelle Duggar, eighteen isn't enough. After welcoming a 7-lb., 3 oz. daughter via C-section on Thursday to join their 17 other children, the proud papa tells the Associated Press: "We both would love to have more." The Duggars now have 10 sons and eight daughters, ranging in age from 17 months to 20 years, all with first names starting with the letter J, including the newborn addition, Jordyn-Grace Makiya Duggar. "The ultimate Christmas gift from God," said Jim tells AP. "She's just absolutely beautiful, like her mom and her sisters." The family's crowded house in Tontitown, Ark., is featured on the TLC network show 17 Kids & Counting, which will have its name updated to reflect the birth of No. 18.

Thought this is not my business but I wonder how they looked after the kids. They have to be quite a well-to-do-family and they must be. If the mother's health is good..she must've been blessed with all the health...just imagine having 18th child and still doing fine. Not only that, already think of having the next..wow.

My sister had has 3 kids and after that the doctor won't let her have another one. This makes me realize how blessed the Duggars family is and they all looked healthy and happy.

Okay, once the 18th child or the younger ones start their schooling, I am quite sure that they will have problem remembering their brothers and sisters names. If it is in Mizoram school, the quesiton would be like:

1. What is your name?: easy
2. What is your mother's name?: which could be answered easily
3. What is your father's name?: another easy question
4. How many brothers and sisters do you have?: getting tough
5. Name them:..aaahhhh

Jokes apart, just want to say ...Congratulations!! :)

Lazy

...that's me. I am too lazy to even update my blog or think up of something to talk about. I go to work regulary because that's my duty. Except for that I seem to neglect almost everything. I have so many pending works at home because I am too . I know that I still have to go to CitiBank and draw my check that I surprisingly received from IBM. The amount is small but it is good to receive the "BONUS" check out of expectation. It's been almost a year and a hlaf that I have left the company and I guess I will never know what that bonus is for..not that I am complaining :)...I must have done something right (hee hee).



I have lost Rs. 1000 Shoppers Stop gift voucher because I felt lazy. Believe it or not, the voucher was valid for one year and finally expires on Nov. 2008...it was a real waste. I did try to use it in the middle of the year. I went shopping with my cousin in Noida mall but forgot to bring the voucher. That was the closest I have come to use it. The now-uselsess voucher is lying among my files...I know some would be real mad at me for this.



However, I did change my template and created the banner. It may not be a masterpiece but I did my best and I guess it is quite okay for the time being. I don;t know what got into me these days but I am crazy about flowers and thus use it on my banner. I know I still have to work on my template but it will be sometime. Let the enthusiasm comes first.



Besides this, I went to Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan, N.Delhi and it was worth
it. It was last month, though. I bought the small chilli pickle and bamboo shoot pickle. The chilli is quite hot and makes my mouth water just the thought of it..heh! One of the things that I fear most is not being able to have chilli due to stomach problem. I really need to know how to take care of my stomach..lolzz. My friend, Mathlana, sent me the pics. I was hoping that he would send the pics without us in it but he did not. Anyway, here is one with the umbrella I really like. I asked him to buy it for me but when he checked it, he knew that it was not useful so..:(




Anyway, I feel very very very tired these days. My muscles ached and my old bones really need all the rests they can take. I do not know why I always feel tired. The only reason I can think of is that may be my aging body cannot take a non-vacational-year-long work....that's may be..lol.

My Appetite

How will I start? I know how terrible I used to feel when I lost my appetite; I lost my energy, always drowsy, no energy. For me, the worst part of losing an appetite feeling hungry yet not do not feel like eating. For instance, take a bowl and after 2/3 sip, you stopped taking it 'cos you do not feel like it..but your bady still need more so badly.



No, I am not losing my appetite. In fact it is so good that it worries me..sometimes. WhateverI eat taste wonderful and ate it to my heart content...fully satisfied and could barely move 'cos I am so full. Then after sometime, when there is something to eat, I can still have it..lol. I am not complaining :).



The only reason why I am worried is because I am gaining lots and lots of weight. Worst of all, my tummy..no longer sexy...hahaha. The thought of going on diet do sometimes come to my mind but always put it away. I am a person who always oppose to people on diet, ie strict diet so as to be thin.



I think that modelling is the worst profession. Yes, they are beatiful, tall, glamorous, can carry off all type of clothes etc etc. But they cannot eat whatever they want. What's the point in earning lots of money and not daring to or cannot eat what you want? If their profession requires it, they have to do it. This is one of the reasons why I love my job...I need not look beautiful but just professional..hehe. I may not be blessed with long legs, poise etc etc and I may not carry off all type of clothes but at least I know I wouldn't be laughed at with what I am wearing. And I do not wear all kind of clothes :D.



I love what I eat so much that I cannot understand why people vomitted themselves right after eating. Even when I gave a thought to do the same, I think of what I just lovingly had and do not want to go it a waste..so I never do it..:P.



I talked to my dear friend LV the other day and he gave me the following advice:



1. Stop taking meat (I love meat too much to give up)



2. Stop taking tea (Never!!! I am a tea drinker)



3. Do not take banana 'cos its fattenning. Eat apple (I can do this)



4. Drink lots of water (I do)



5. Go for walk (I do but not regularly :()



6. Do not take eggs. Even if you do, avoid the yolk (I love eggs)



7. Eat vegetables (not a problem)



8. No beer (Impossible, :P)



9. Curd has low fat content so have it. (Quite easy to follow)



10. Take Bio Slim (I have to try this :D)



The moment he mentioned Bio Slim, he blabbered on how effective it is which makes we wonder how much this company is paying him...lolzzz.


Anyway, let me conclude and say "I still love my appetite"..hahaha

Yellow

No, I am not going to talk about the term 'Yellow' or 'Yellow Belly'.


Since I planned to shift yet again, I was packing my clothes and I was quite surprised with the color of my clothes. I was shocked to see the number of yellow colored tops. I have two salwar out of which 1 is yellow :D. And then my other tops are yellow, yellow and yellow. I always say that black and blue are are my favorite color but the color "Yellow" topped that. I guess I have been unknowingly choose a yellow colored tops.


Then I checked out this so called 'color and you' or something like that. This was what said about this color:



Yellow shines with optimism, enlightenment, and happiness. Shades of golden yellow carry the promise of a positive future. Yellow will advance from surrounding colors and instill optimism and energy, as well as spark creative thoughts.

Not bad, not bad..hehe

The information also says:
Yellow is psychologically the happiest color in the color spectrum. (uh huh)
Intelligent (I can't argue :P)
Warm (Yes...hehe)
Loves comfort and will pay for it (True..lol)

hehe..ehem!!

Then I took a quiz and this is the result:

YELLOW

You are very perceptive and smart. You are clear and to the point and have a great sense of humor.

You are always learning and searching for understanding.

hahaha..strange.

I used to take it for granted

After being bed-ridden for four days, I am finally up now. I had been blessed with health and I do not know the meaning of being really sick. Except for some cold with fever and menstrual pain, I never take medicine. I always guess I was always the lucky one.

Then last Thursday (2nd Oct., 2008), I felt really tired when I woke up and I wanted to just sleep the day away. Not knowing what the viral cause to my body, I got ready for work anyway. And yes, I did go to the Office hoping that I would get better once I reach there. Then, I prove myself wrong; my situation got worse and I could hardly keep my eyes open.

After sometime, I finally talked to my ABM and request him to arrange a cab for me. After a 15 minutes (the longest ever), I was finally on my way back to my house. Once I reached my room, I just collapsed on my bean bag. Then after an hour or so, I saw my sister next to me, calling me. I could hardly open my eyes.

I was so darn tired and the energy inside me was completely sucked out. I hardly moved out from my room, unless really really required.

Anyway, I am back to the Office and I am getting better day by day though not yet fully fit. The good thing is that I have not yet smoked for the last 6 days which, I guess, is a sign that I have not fully recovered :D

While I was lying on my sick bed, I realize how it was like to be healthy. I was blessed with good health which I used to take it for granted. And the health that I used to enjoy was priceless – appetite, good sleep, enthusiasm, energy etc which were taken away.

Now I am recovering and count each day as a new blessing.

Still love them...:)

*Sigh!!*


Its been a decade and a half but I still love them a lot. With their come-back, I get excited all over again. I have even subscibed their news letter and also sign up for Google Alert..hahaha..how crazy I still am.

I read the report of their comeback concernr and I could so relate myself to this:

"The Garden was more than ready for Wahlberg's love-in. Many of the fans, who were mostly women between the ages of 28 and 40, came to the show in 20-year-old T-shirts and buttons, and held signs that said things like "Before there was Justin there was Jordan," and "Donnie and Jordan in '08."

And the on other pages, I noticed this cute photo:

I am quite sure that had I been in their place, I would do the same....with their Tee..of course. If only I have the chance to meet them at least once :)

And, would you believe I still have their big posters safely packed at home.
