Being a huge Oprah fan, I was browsing through several super soul Sunday episodes when I came across this definition of forgiveness; "forgiveness is the acceptance that it happened,not that it is ok that it happened, but accepting that it happened and move on from it".
Just listening to it lifted a huge weight off my chest, I have been battling with deep regrets and 'what ifs' for such a long time and building up inner rage because I was hoping that things could have been different. The fact that I had to accept all that happened to me,already happened and that I had to move on in order to gain peace, was something that never crossed my mind, because I kept telling myself I should have known better.
Well sometimes we plan things, take risks and it doesn`t go our way.....and its really ok...
Grateful for you tube, Oprah and everyone who share their stories of self discovery and living a full life....

30 day weight-loss challenge
A comment from a colleague about the size of my tummy was the final sign that I really should start working out (as if having to buy a whole new set of bigger office clothes wasn`t an eye opener).
So, thought of posting pics daily after a workout (just to force myself to stick to a program and to motivate myself to wanting to see an improvement). Anyways hopefully i can stick to this. Will post my first pic tomorrow today!

Sleep & Happy Endings
That's what I`ve been doing lately...getting lots and lots of sleep. Kinda feels weird going to bed without a to-do list with 40 tasks :D. I was too busy with exams and assignments getting up at 2a.m, studying and driving in (hectic) traffic to get to work and meeting work deadlines..... my first review meeting at my new job went quite well. I'm pretty impressed with myself (so much modesty!)
Anyway going to enjoy this short break before the next round of exams starts.
I had severe problems falling asleep due to stress and other problems I've had this year, I have to say now that its October I'm surprised and pleased that I survived. I think it has also got to do with my new found shift in focus. I feel like I'm finally focusing on things that makes me happy.
Talking about happy things, my friend R, who is married (not happily) has fallen in love with another guy. I mean nothing has happened between these two, its just that feeling of 'falling in love like a teenager', when i saw happy she was when she was talking about this guy, I really wished she can actually be with him. I'm not promoting divorces or anything but honestly after what her husband did (he walked out of the marriage and came back) I feel like she deserves her happy ending. I really think eventhough some couples patch up and try to heal wounds and make things work, it can NEVER go back to how things were. And life is too short to live with regrets. I normally would never encourage anything like this but when it comes to this situation I wish her story can end up like "eat pray love".I just want her to be happy and not trapped in a loveless marriage.
Anyway in other news , got my hair straightened yet again :) , think I will let it grow for a while this time without changing my hairstyle every three months.
