A New Lease On Life...

Note: I had a very busy weekend, went to some VERY beautiful places, took alot of pics, will update in the next post or so and will get around to your blogs soon too. Also, Some people told me that they missed my long long posts. oyeah? Here I am then! ;-)


Life As A Property...

What does the title mean? To me it means, that life is like a 'property' that you can 'move into' again, if you 'wish' to. Life does become old, boring, dull, monotonous, fat, sick, colorless, hence unhealthy sometimes. What do you need then? A fresh start. All we need to do is think of life as a property that you can occupy all over again...but with few repairs and renovations ofcourse. We often do that to our properties such as houses and vehicles. When your house needs a new look, a fresh feeling, you'll give it a new coat of paint...or even do feature walls. You will redo your bathroom maybe. Perhaps remove the carpets and put tiles on. With your car, you may even trade it for a newer and comfy one. If not, you may get new seatcovers or take it to a car-wash cafe for a good wash. All in all, we are talking about a new start...a fresh beginning that will make you feel alive again. Same goes to Life.

Repairs And Renovations...

You may say life can't be seen as a property of your's cos you don't really own it. But what do you really own in this life anyways? You don't own your house, car or even loved-ones. They are all temporary. So is life. You never know when you're number is up. But life as well as all your assets and bonds are your 'properties' til you're alive. So from time to time, you can choose to upgrade, renovate, repair these properties as and when required. The same applies to relationships and people. We all need fixing, repairing, changing, freshning up...all for the sake of moving on in life in good spirits and with a fresh mind.

My Life's Upgrades...

Now why did I write this post? Cos I'm getting a new lease on my life, yes I am. Be it becoming a vegetarian or starting to eat healthy and exercising or breaking up with an abusive partner or even saying NO to something you have been putting up with for a long time, changes are necessary in life to keep life fresh. But Changes don't just happen...you have to make them happen. You've got to stop and say 'hey, my life needs an upgrade...I have to make it better or healthier or happier etc'...whatever it is, it's totally upto you. No one else can do that FOR you. So, coming to myself, I'm gonna 'repair' and 'renovate' a few areas in my life too. Here is a list of what I started doing from last week. I promised myself I will stick to them no matter what:

*Eat healthier than before - no more latenight snacking...it's starting to give me Love Handles eeeks! I went to a friend's place Thursday night, and a lady there told me 'Keshi you've put on a bit'...I was like 'so what biyatch?' in my head, but she made me realise I've gathered some Winter fat, snacking on icecream etc and being a couch potato cos of the cold weather in the last few months. And last night I took a good look at myself in the mirror and even though I wasn't fat, I wanted to scream imagining Big Momma's image on the mirror! *cries*. Guess what I had for lunch whole of last week...smoked salmon sandwich with cucumber and no butter...LOL yes I've become totally paranoid!

*Re-start my Exercise and Jogging routine - couldn't do it for months cos I was down with Bronco and I was a bit lazy cos of Winter, and I already feel like I'm Pavarotti :*( *Opera music plays at the back and a huge belly is on display..and yes the head is Keshi's!*. So last week I started my usual daily 1hr Walks during lunchtime and jogging at night, kicking off my plan. yes I'm already back on track people!

*Will not complain about Blogville dramas and all that crap - I think you're sick of it by now. Well guess what? me too! :) No more whinging about useless crap, no more listening to liars, no more hanging around places where I'm not appreciated and no more throttling expectations from anyone Keshi...you can do way better than that!

*Will not spend too much money on clothes and shoes - I guess I have enough for now, besides my Closet and Shoe cupboard look like a Department store on their own *while kids are starving in Africa that is!*. That's not the only reason...I need to move/give away my Winter clothes and replace my old Summer clothes with new ones, so I better clean up the Closets before doing that...so no more buying for awhile *wait til I put up my next Shopping trip pics ha? ;-)*. Spring Cleaning it is!

*Will speak softly *I'll try mate, I'll try*, and listen more than talk - even before today, I have become quieter at home and with friends. Empty and loud speech was not my cuppa anyways. I just need to accentuate on my Listening Skills cos my mum says I'm always in another world when she talks...I kinda agree with her, cos I'm slack at listening when I'm at home...I only hear. Worse, when she asks something, I'm like 'owwww momma could you tell me the story again?'...and she loses it badly LOL!

Time To Freshen Up...

That's a load of expensive but worthwhile repairs in my life for now...I'll try to stick to them as much as I can ok...I hope I don't go 'broke' during the renovations! So tell me folks, any particluar 'repairs' you're planning to do on your 'property' soon? Whatever it is, first it takes alot of understanding to recognise the areas that need repairs, then it takes alot of courage and determination to take that first step towards real change, and finally it takes alot of hard work and dedication to stick to it til you achieve the results and to continue maintaning it *like how I felt extremely tired and hot during my walk yesterday and felt like stopping for an icecream but I didn't!*. So, all the best, stay focused and keep your lives fresh folks!

I dedicate this post and song to my dearest bro Sourish, who just quit smoking...way to go bro and keep it up! It's your life...make it happen. And you know I LOVE YA tonns n tonns HUGS!
