soul suspension

mistipurple — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 12:01:00 GMT

a soul suspended in time
waiting for time

a bed of roses, not

mistipurple — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 12:54:00 GMT

when you don't think too much about anything, life seems fine.
it is easier on the soul when you don't think too much.
so, to be kind of yourself, it is sometimes wiser to just let the day pass, let the day go, without wondering if life has been fair. because, at the end of the day, you know the answer. and it is not something that will sit well if you were to think about it too much.

such is a man

mistipurple — Fri, 29 May 2009 09:49:00 GMT

after a while, many things are not important anymore.
i wonder at my shallowness when i look at things again. i wished i had 'grown up' earlier and realised the triviality of many things. but things don't work that way. we only learn after living through experiences, empty promises, broken dreams and hopes.
we only wake when we have our heads bashed along with broken hearts.
aren't we foolish creatures. humans are stupid sad to say.
i am such a human.

choices

mistipurple — Wed, 13 May 2009 06:33:00 GMT

we make choices everyday, and recently because of my deteriorating health, it gets very gloomy even before the day starts.
then it dawned on me. i can at least try to make the day a little better by starting it on the right footing. what's there to lose, or should i put it, what else can i lose!
so for the past two days, i told myself i will have a good day. it was a conscious effort. throughout the day i reminded myself. and though i had bad hours of not feeling quite on top of the world, the mental aspect played a part. telling myself that things will eventually get better works better than thinking how long my crappy days will go on.
baby steps they say.
so have a good day, folks! and yes, make that a conscious effort.

ShopWiki Jewelry and Watches

mistipurple — Mon, 04 May 2009 19:51:00 GMT

Jewelries and watches always make wonderful gifts. I have not come across anyone who does not appreciate them. Perhaps the key then is to know the taste of the recipient. Are there 'safe' choices? When in doubt, I think the best choice would be to go for elegant pieces, rather than loud screaming ones.

A friend's birthday is coming and I was wondering if I could pick up something nice from internet shopping. The weather these days is totally not conducive for outdoor shopping. Anyway one can find a whole lot more from cyber shopping than fighting through throngs of shoppers at the shopping mall these days.

Take a look at ShopWiki.com. I was quite taken by the elegant pieces of jewelry and watches and think they have a wonderful selection. The Men's Jewelry especially, had me pretty excited. You see, I always have trouble looking for nice quiet pieces for my male friends. Too much shine and they look gaudy. So this was a pretty good find for me. Check them out. I am positive you will agree with my choice.

Another thing I was introduced to is Jewelry with a Conscience. They explain about Conflict Diamonds and Dirty Gold. Yes, the site is both educational as well. Do hop over later okay? Have fun then!

Good Health is not a given

mistipurple — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 02:36:00 GMT

As one age, haha, I am talking so much about old age these days. More precisely, the morbidity of it. I must find a way to add 'rainbows' to this passage of life. There must be more to aging than sickness and immobility. But is there? Health is so important that without it, there IS nothing to talk about. Money can buy health to a certain extent. We can enrol in the appropriate health club and engage in wellness programmes that are both holistic and beneficial to health. There are health food, vitamins, etc. But you need to have basic health to begin with. It is hard to fight a battle with half dying cells. Age does play a part. Besides age, genetic and diseases, etc., rob your cells of nutrients. That said, ALL of us are degenerating anyway, save for the babies. So, let's work towards maintaining our health and I wish everyone better days ahead.

vertigo-free days soon hopefully

mistipurple — Tue, 31 Mar 2009 14:46:00 GMT

I feel bad 'troubling' my doctor so many times over my vertigo. But then if I am not well, I guess it warrants all the visits. I can understand how doctors can sometimes feel when their patients overreact or appear hypochondriac. But after speaking to another doc friend of mine, he said that my visits are justifiable because they are real symptoms and I cannot be blamed for multiple visits. You see, I feel on the other hand that I should 'sit it out', but because too of my many visits, my medications were also changed. So, my early response to medications justify the change. Sigh. I really hate being a nuisance.
In the midst of all these 'sufferings', I just count my blessings and offer these up to Him. That is the positive side of what this is amounting to.

downturn opportunity

mistipurple — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:10:00 GMT

While severe recession is happening all around, I see at the same time shops sprouting in the complex. So at every downturn, there are people seizing the opportunity to break into the market. It is a good time to negotiate for lower rentals and if one is cash rich at this time, it is also a good time to secure a long term contract. Any one going into business? Good luck.

time flies

mistipurple — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 06:08:00 GMT

Time flies a tad too fast. Everything's too fast. But money earned is way too slow, LOL.
It's been almost a month I've had this vertigo and I am not completely well yet. Must be age. Groan.
Anyway, as long as I am on the road to recovery, hopefully ie., I shouldn't grumble too much. It is not quite easy to keep positive though. I have been telling myself that for the past couple of weeks, but it's really much simpler to feel depressed, haha.
Anyway, I have a couple of days where I'd need to keep totally well and my simple wish is just that.
I wish health for everyone else too. Keep well folks!

cyber friends

mistipurple — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 02:25:00 GMT

When cyber life becomes more secure than real life, it's time to take a good look at.. real life!
How is it that real life is often more threatening? It used to be the other way round. Now a lot of us take refuge in cyber friends, cyber hideouts, cyber talk. I guess it beats having no friends. And who do we call friends anyway? Perhaps there is less commitment in cyber friends. With that thought, I wish you a good weekend, readers! Stay safe.

self inflicting cuts

mistipurple — Mon, 09 Mar 2009 10:49:00 GMT

My health is sabotaged. I get myself well, only to have it knocked down again. The irony? Working towards a better good always get me bashed up time and time again. Inside out, outside in, I am thrashed all the time. Call it abuse, call it voluntary masochism. I hope I don't end up with a brain tumor. Will I ever be appreciated, truly? I really don't know. Anyway, I only have myself to blame.

Desperate bid to save ship

mistipurple — Sun, 08 Mar 2009 17:08:00 GMT

Business is so bad around the mall that almost every new tenant who has opened shop, has decided to call it a day. You see, it is actually cheaper to close shop than to maintain it. With staffs' salaries and overheads, the shops are fighting a losing battle. So at the end of the day, you see tired shop owners giving up and desperately finding new takers for their newly renovated shops. So, be careful if you're contemplating taking over a business. You need to be way better than the last owner to run your ship. Good luck!

Hollywood Celebrity Moms-to-Be use Beaute de Maman products

mistipurple — Tue, 03 Mar 2009 11:16:00 GMT

It is often said that the best time of a woman's life is when she is pregnant. And one would want the best for the mother-to-be during this time. Looking and feeling good is going to help in the overall health fitness and finding beauty products that are safe for both mother and fetus is essential during this crucial period. One has to be mindful that whatever mothers apply or ingest is going to somewhat affect the growing baby in the tummy. Beaute de Maman is a product line developed solely by a practicing obstetrician. This makes it totally safe and one do not have to worry about contraindications and drug allergies. Their products have been researched using databases and reproduction toxicity reports available only to physicians.

Women undergo physiological and hormonal changes during this period and therefore may require specific products that are more suited for their unique condition. Beaute de Maman products have in fact made it into the hands of Hollywood celebrity moms-to-be including actresses Penelope Ann Miller, Salli Richardson-Whitfield (“Eureka”), Chyler Leigh (“Grey’s Anatomy”) and Jennifer Blanc.
It is indeed exciting that there is an exclusive line specifically made for pregnant ladies and if you'd like to order for your friend or perhaps for yourself, you can order now and have them shipped to you immediately. Enjoy!

Life warranty?

mistipurple — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:52:00 GMT

So it was my birthday yesterday (24th). I've come to realise that health does have a calendar that keep tracks of things like dates!
So, it would seem to me that my warranty would somewhat fizzle out a little with each turning year. When I had a bad bout of vertigo on the eve of my birthday, I was both amused and alarmed. It's tough to be amused when you're spinning left and right and top and bottom, but I couldn't help wondering how my life warranty somewhat kept tap so accurately. So boom, a day before my birthday, a screw would need to be adjusted, LOL. I sure hope this does not signal the loosening of more screws!

voice from the past

mistipurple — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 13:40:00 GMT

How often we hear a voice from the past, when we get into trouble with the present.
I have been told, and yet I only learn decades late.
If only, yes if only..
Don't we all have "if onlys" in our lives?
If only...
Alas,
A mistake has been made. There is no turning back.
We can only live with our "if only"...

leaky pot play

mistipurple — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 13:34:00 GMT

Leaky leaky pot
How do you do?
I'm fine thank you.
And how do you do?
I'm fine too, thank you.
Let's play a merry go round
Till my time is up
And I can turn no more
Let's play some more
My leaky leaky pot.

Damnation for the meek

mistipurple — Thu, 12 Feb 2009 09:11:00 GMT

It's pathetic how 'outside people' make my day lousy all the time. It's definitely selfish of them to screw me round their little finger and make me feel upset. I am a peaceful person. Damn whichever and whatever way I turn I get blasted. It's not fair. I know I am stupid for feeling down whenever I get abused but it's not fair isn't it? I cannot be faulted for being a feeling person. Damn. Humans are bad creations. And I will get damned for saying that too. One can never win.

i am a worthless bum

mistipurple — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 11:46:00 GMT

Another slitting session another day. Isn't it all wonderful. And it happens again and again. Gee, it's all wonderful. It's no wonder I am getting older each day, in more ways than one. It's no wonder I feel that life is really not worth living. It's no wonder I want to die all the time. One day I might just succeed. And I hope I will rejoice, on whichever side I land. Duh.

Worldwide hit of economic slump

mistipurple — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 13:45:00 GMT

There was a gentleman who came by our store today. He said he was sadden by the closing of Woolworth. He is from the UK. I browsed through the news and found even more giant stores closing due to bad times. It is truly just the beginning. I hope the world recovers fast. I wonder how we're going to fare. We can pretend like ostriches that it will not hit us. I really don't know what's going to happen. A lot of shops here are not doing well. They are bleeding everyday. And we can see the flow and bloodshed. Frightening isn't it?

We carry years of accumulated gunk in our body and no matter what we do, we cannot attain that healthy glow that was once ours in our youth. Now it is possible with proper Colon Cleansing. This cleans our body inside out and gets rid of years of garbage that we've laden ourselves with.

The first thing that I was worried about was, what might happen after I clear out all these foreign looking things from my body?
The Colonix program is specifically designed to cleanse the toxic build-up and they will also replenish the system with a top-of-the-line probiotic supplement, thereby recharging the system and making it brand new again so to say. And this is what all of us need; to have a functional body that is working optimally without clog ups which stops all the nutrients from reaching our vital organs. No wonder we're tired all the time. And the more junk we eat to recuperate, the lousier we feel at the end of the day. I think it is high time that we give our body a chance to fight all these years of neglect and enable ourselves to live the life we deserve.

Dr.Natura.com, Inc. is the global leader in cleansing and detoxification and thousands of people have benefited from its program. Find out more from the people who are immensely grateful that they've finally managed to take control of their lives and are living testimonials of how effective the Colon Cleansing and Body Detoxification Program is.
