Good days...

Two weeks ago, it was the birthday of Buddha, so I went to the temple to attend the teaching of monks there.

I always find how amazing the monks are to be able to teach us how to live in happiness in such simple words and examples. I really enjoy going to the temple in those rare occasions, every time I sit and chant with the monks and nuns, i feel so good. The feeling is not easy to describe, you feel so light, the burden of your life seems to be removed. I feel like I can really let go of all my weeknesses.

Last weekend and this coming one, I have been able to see many old friends. It has been a long time since I last saw some of them, and I really missed them. We all gave each other real big hugs as if you have been given more strength, like nothing really matter now or nothing can affect you when you are around them. I am blessed to have my friends. Friends you can share your worries, concerns, frustrations, happiness...etc, you can tell them everything without worrying that they might judge you.

Seeing my friends bring back a lot of memories. I realise even though we take pictures to capture the moment, the good moments never really go away. Years have passed and those images stay in my mind and they are still so vivid.

Every each person who has gone through your life always leave their traces, I find that extremely interesting and each time I think of them, I feel so alive.

Love, light and rainbow!

Sex and The City 2

I was very much looking forward to seeing the second part of Sex and The City (I think most of girls are). I don't know whether I should like it or hate it :-). The movie was bit disappointing because it was a bit too long, and some jokes were a bit weird. But I still likes it because c'mon it's still the "sisterhood" as one might call it, no matter what, and the beautiful hats, shoes..etc. Moreover, it also shows things that all women worry about " lose the sparkles in a relationship", "love children but would be nice to not have them around sometimes", "menopause"...etc. It turns out maybe we should not worry about any of those silly things because things are meant to be, men would not worry about these things (certainly not the menopause, I guess ;-)).

Two of my friends are preparing their wedding and they have to take a premarriage course in a church. Of course, when you hear this, you probably think of a course where a priest explained to you what to do when you decide to have your wedding in a church. Apprently, this is wrong ;-). It is all about workshops where they teach you ways to learn things from your future spouses's past, why some of their actions might have been the result of their past. Interesting, isn't it?

Two weeks ago I had a very nice discussion with a friend, his parents still live together but they lead their own lives. Some of my colleagues also have similar experiences, my friend and m colleagues think that it would have been nicer if their parents divorce than continue to live together. To be honest, I have always think that i would not like to divorce if i was married and had children. I thought my friend thinks like that because now he is all grown up and he will have his family at some points in the near future. However, when you think about it, why try to keep the person who wants to leave? I would try to keep my husband if he also wants the same. Otherwise, I rather give my children a happy home than a home with unpleasant atmosphere. Another friend of mine is separating and man, has he got all the troubles! We do have some crazy persons out there and you only know that once you separate them :-).

Leaving a person that you share a home with for a long time is not easy because the 'living together' has become a habit and nobody likes changes, especially when it comes to the "unknown", I guess only those who go beyond knows the worse or the best ;-).
