很喜歡 Pilates

它是一種很 subtle 的運動

就算站立

也會叫你想像腳底下的三個著力點

大拇指下的位置, 尾指下的位置和腳跟下的位置

三個點所連成的三角型

就是身體著力的三個點

然後 pelvis bone 要 neutral

rib rest on pelvis

shoulder relax

spine 伸長

下巴微收



今天給 tennis guy 放了飛機

明明打算見埋今次便不再找他

事敗所以有點不是味兒

不過也可以形容為 '抵死'

hahah

anyway....

原價 1000 hkd 的 Aveda facial

試做價 200 hkd (當中 100hkd 可 redeem product)

不過要買東西

結果買了 230 hkd 的 hand cream

好貴喔!

不過這個 facial 所有的 product 也是天然的 aroma 東西

所以很舒服呢!

有興趣請致電他們吧!

我去的是 LCX 裡的 Aveda Spa

環境都很舒適呢!

quote from Mimi Tanner's newsletter

"When Should You Be Hard To Get?

- As soon as you meet a new man you're interested in

- When you have not yet gotten his attention

- When he's ignoring you

- When your romance started out strong but then changed
and you don't know why

- When your relationship is stagnating

- When you have been together for many years but the
relationship is not moving toward a commitment

- When you're flirting, dating, engaged, or married!

Being Hard to Get Works Even When You're Not Trying!...It will just happen when you aren't
looking for it."

肚子漲漲的

到底為何經常這樣的呢?

最近愛上襯衫

久不久晚上會想想明天穿什麼好

這是以前不會發生的

雖然可能絕大部分女孩也會這樣做


我

是走向 majority 嗎?



元宵佳節

今年家外的路上裝飾得很漂亮

吃湯圓

吃蛋糕

很開心呢

" Mayonnaise Jar & Two Beers...

When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, when 24 hours in a day are not enough, remember the mayonnaise jar and the 2 Beers.

A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him.

When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.

They agreed that it was.

The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls. He then asked the students again if the jar was full.

They agreed it was.

The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.

The students responded with a unanimous 'yes.'

The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed..

'Now,' said the professor as the laughter subsided, 'I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.

The golf balls are the important things---your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions---and if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.

The pebbles are the other things that matter like your job, your house and your car.

The sand is everything else---the small stuff.

'If you put the sand into the jar first,' he continued, 'there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.

The same goes for life.

If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you.

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness.

Spend time with your children. Spend time with your parents. Visit with grandparents. Take time to get medical checkups.Take your spouse out to dinner. Play another 18.

There will always be time to clean the house and fix the disposal. Take care of the golf balls first---the things that really matter.

Set your priorities.

The rest is just sand.

One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented. The professor smiled and said, 'I'm glad you asked.' The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there's always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.

我要學懂 self respect and love with dignity

quoted from Mirabelle Summer's newsletter

"Being loved by others starts with loving yourself. Our specially
designed books and courses will show you how and why you should
bring out the confident and dignified woman inside!

Teary-eyed women have come to me asking why their boyfriend (or the
guy they've just been dating) is taking them for granted. While
each situation I hear about has its own unique circumstances,
there's a common thread to some extent.

This was very apparent in Raquel, a personal friend of mine who was
stuck in a rut with her boyfriend. You see, they were doing
perfectly fine when they started out, but then Drake slowly started
to diss her as the months passed by.

After the fireworks settled down, Drake gradually stopped doing the
little things he enthusiastically performed in the beginning. What
was once a torrent of sweetness slowed down to a trickle.

The little notes, emails and flowers that showed up for no occasion
ceased to become part of Drake's system. The problem with him was
that he lost the initiative to keep things fresh until he no longer
felt like doing it.

For him, the familiarity that the relationship brought made him
complacent, inattentive and selfish.

There was even a time when he had the nerve to ask Raquel to come
over to his place on extremely short notice - while it was pouring
outside. She had just gotten home from work that night after
putting in extra hours at the office.

I'd like to add that her overtime was on account of Ralph's
consistent demands for her to skip work when he felt like going
out. Before we get into what happened next, but let's stop and
dissect the situation.

The issue I've noticed in instances like these is that these poor
girls make the mistake of wearing their hearts on their sleeve. In
Raquel's case, she was so sold with the idea of being Drake's
girlfriend even when they were still dating.

So eager she was that Raquel didn't notice she was already being
treated like a doormat. Like her, many women get so caught up with
being the perfect partner even when they're getting the short end
of the stick.

And by this I mean putting up with being dissed when she clearly
doesn't deserve it. In short, Raquel's attitude had allowed
low-quality men like Drake to treat her shabbily.

Placing low value on yourself really causes the wrong guys to come
into your life and disrespect you later. The heart of the matter
is that your general outlook and attitude towards yourself truly
affects the quality of your love life.

Many girls I've talked to have complained that good men are hard to
find. I respectfully disagree - they are in fact plentiful enough
for those who know what they need to attract them.

In a way, life gives you back the kind of attitude that you put
into it. Diminished self-respect will only invite abusive guys to
oblige you while keeping the quality guys far away.

So, it really boils down to how you conduct yourself as a woman.
You may not have control over the guys that you'll run into, but
you can choose who to let in and who to kick out.

Your attitude is the single biggest factor influencing the tide of
your dating life. The good news is that you can control this.
Therefore, you can create a healthy, well-balanced relationship
with the right guidance:

http://www.000relationships.com/wantmore/index.php

What is this "right attitude" that I'm talking about? Like what we
just mentioned, one of the most important values to remember when
being in a relationship is RESPECT.

Specifically, I want you to respect yourself and maintain your
sense of dignity. No one else can begin to take you seriously if
you can't love yourself first.

It's not about being selfish, but it's a matter of NOT taking crap
from men. A sassy girl commands respect from quality men by not
compromising her principles for the sake of meeting his standards.

It's about an attitude that sends a message along the lines of,
"I'm a mature, well-rounded woman who enjoys the company of guys
who are equally mature enough to treat me properly." She'll go on
to say, "This is me - take it or leave it."

Even if you are in a seemingly good relationship, don't assume that
there aren't other guys out there who won't come knocking at your
door. Don't allow this misguided fear to fool you into tolerating
any form of abuse from a guy.

The real trick to putting your foot down is doing it gracefully.
That's probably the one thing that drives men wild - that feminine
strength that handily ties up boorish men without using brute force.

The savvy woman can clearly get her point across but is polite at
the same time. Guys are tantalized by that unwavering air of
coolness. When she can hold her own against the boys, there's at
least one guy out there who'll take on the challenge of "taming"
her.

Before we get too vague here, let's go back to Raquel's story.
Prior to her boyfriend's late-night call, we had already been
talking about her problem.

Following my advice, she mustered the strength to turn him down.
Like what I told her, she didn't make a big fuss out of it. Raquel
casually explained that she just got back from work and needs to
take a breather.

She proceeded to take a nice long dip in the tub and didn't pick up
the phone even if she knew it was Drake that was calling. When he
finally got hold of Raquel, she said, "Listen sweetie, I'm pretty
beat. Why don't we meet up in a couple of days?"

After that, she put him on hold to take the other call waiting on
the line. "Anyway," she continued, "let's go out on Saturday, my
schedule's pretty open by that time. Good night!"

To his utter shock, Drake saw Raquel's other side. He couldn't
wrap his mind around the fact that she treated him like an
acquaintance rather than an intimate partner.

You can bet he shaped up after that. Raquel kept up her
self-respecting attitude and Drake made sure to be on his toes.

From that point on, Raquel saw how much sense it made not to
grovel, beg or whine. She came to realize that men respect girls
who don't nag or get flustered.

Attraction lies in letting him do the pursuing. Inviting the right
kind of men starts with never letting them see you sweat.

Mature women aren't emotional, nor do they have to explain why they
don't put up with bad behavior. You'll get more respect out of a
rude guy when he knows that his conduct is unacceptable.

These are just some of the things you'll need to bear in mind to
attract your ideal guy WHEN you meet him. Running into him is an
eventual possibility, but your attitude will determine if he'll
stick around or not."

商業電台雖然商業

但他們確實有很多做得很好的地方

最重要的成功因素可能是他們某程度上放手給後進 dj 們自由創作

比方說他們會容許 dj 們做一個叫 "士多啤梨蘋果橙" 的節目



昨天晚上偶然聽到一個節目

非常好聽

好聽到要上商台網頁看看節目名稱

"叱吒樂壇" ?????

怎麼"叱吒樂壇"這類型的音樂節目可以做得這麼好?

可以這麼有 heart ?

segment 及舖排簡直就像看 drama 一樣



這晚訪問何 cc 新碟 "查理淑儀" 這首歌的兩位主人翁KITTY和阿車

講述他們兩位精神病康復者的愛情故事

讓我感動流淚

愛上了這個節目之餘

也愛上了何韻詩

值得推介



當然其他節目如 '有誰共鳴' 也是非常好聽的

:)

他們把節目包裝得很好

也打破了一般既定節目的既定模式

例如音樂節目一定會是怎樣怎樣的......

確實是一個 thinking out of the box 的好例子



節目重溫

3 Feb 09, 20:00-20:30 何韻詩五日怪談
