I’ve been doing yoga three days a week for two weeks now. Yay!

That’s a little bit of self-praise to keep me going. I want to get fit again and I need to motivate myself to do yoga consistently.

See, though I kept telling myself I will start an exercise routine or do Hip Hop Abs in the morning, I wasn’t really able to follow through because… well, I like sleeping. I used to.

Until one of my blouses ripped. It was a small sheer cotton wrap around blouse. I bought it when I was at my thinnest. One day I wore it and it kept hiking up my back. So I pulled it down once.

And it ripped. Not good. So not good at all.

The frog in my shoe

by Jayme on March 11, 2010

in Just Jayme

I was walking to my cubicle when I felt something slippery in my left shoe. I took off my flat, shook my foot and this little thing landed on the floor…

thefrog

The green frog was smiling at me.  I sat still for a few moments just looking at it.

I’m not sure how that sticker got into my shoe. I must have stepped on it in the playroom and was too preoccupied to notice it until then.

My mind has been on a rollercoaster for the past days. But it’s the good kind. My brain is brimming with all sorts of ideas, dreams and visions. Sometimes I do tend to space out and get lost in thinking rather than doing. Like right now, I’ve paused so many times while writing this blog post because hundreds of ideas are popping into my head.

But whenever I find myself getting lost, I say one word: FOCUS. And sometimes, I get little reminders to stop the whirlwind in my mind and just be still.

Just like this little stray sticker.

Thank you Little Frog.

Find a moment to be still today.

Isn’t this cute? Once these little balls retire from the ping pong tables, at least they’ve got somewhere else stylish to go.
This is the hanging lamp from Studio Kleefstra. It’s made of 315 celluloid balls held together by a metal frame. The site says the lamp gives off a dotted pattern on its surroundings.
Remember the [...]

But it’s the good kind. I’ve got a lot of blogging gigs lined up, my trusty laptop and my Linksys router have been working overtime every night.
And I can’t be more thankful that the opps are streaming in continuously. Sure, I’ve got to sacrifice a little bit of sleeping time but at least, I’m trading [...]

The Portabello estate is one of the most beautiful homes I’ve ever seen. I first saw it featured on Oprah in 2006. Back then it was selling for $75 million!
What’s so fascinating about this estate is that everything is curved and rounded. Realtor John McMonigle told Oprah that there is no straight line in the [...]

The House of Sisig

I’m not a big fan of sisig. I haven’t eaten pork for almost eight years (thanks to my Kernie). So when a colleague suggested we review the House of Sisig, I was a little bit hesitant. The idea of eating pig head parts didn’t sit well with my stomach.
But when I found out that there [...]
