winter should take a break, for the sake of the animals.

Just when we thought winter has finally left, it snowed again yesterday and more snow to come, according to weather forecast. bummer! I know that I have been talking a lot about winter on my posts but I just couldn’t help it…it just wont go away. Not only that it has been tough for the homeless but for birds as well.
Just last week, I found a very hungry heron in our garden hovering on top of our small fish pond. The kois were supposed to be ’sleeping‘ on the bottom but a few of them were quite visible from the top. I guess the hungry heron saw that and hey, he needs to eat!
But of course I didn’t want the bird to feast on my fish, I shooed it away. Plenty of times! That’s how hungry the birds around are. If only herons could easily be satisfied with stale breads like ducks, I’d gladly give them some…but unfortunately bread isn’t on their diet.
So I just wish the winter will take pity on the animals and take a break. Which reminds me, I should be looking for a new uv pond filter, it’s been years since we placed the last  filter.

pain sucks

I really love it that I can work from home. Not leaving the house to earn a living is just ideal! No traffic to beat, no boss to satisfy, but instead I can get up from bed, first do house chores if I want to or start working- it doesn’t matter because I don’t work on schedule. As long as I deliver my paperwork on time, then that’s fine.

But that doesn’t mean that I do not need any office furnitures, because I do. Especially that I’m doing a lot of computer work, computer desk and chair are very important to me. Before I couldn’t care less how I sit when working that pain on my neck, shoulders, back start to creep in. To be honest I am visiting my physiotherapist because of the pain, attributed from wrong body positioning during working hours.

I just thought I’d share this to whomever would read this. Do not take your body for granted. I learned my lesson the painful way.

no zumba…sad…

no zumba…sad…

I miss my work-outs. I miss doing Wii Fit and Zumba!

I can’t believe I just said (typed) that. Month ago you wouldn’t hear me saying ‘how I love that I’m sweating!‘ but eversince I started doing the two mentioned, I got hooked and would wait for the following day so that I can do them all over again.

But I’ve been under the weather for the past 5 days now and haven’t done any movement that would make me sweat. All I’m having right now is a very very red nose, teary eyes, coughs and major headaches. To think that I was so happy because last year I was never sick, attributed that to the constant Vitamins, especially C that I was taking. Unfortunately my husband caught the virus and well, my system thought: ‘we tried our best, but this virus host is so near and within the radius…why don’t we just let him in’ …..

em nhot  ngool whit dhat! (me: I’m not cool with that!) :(
