I’ve read many personal development books, and many of them swear by the belief that happiness comes from within. It’s inside you. Happiness doesn’t come from a gleaming new half a million dollars sports car. Nor does it come from a wardrobe full of branded clothes, bags, scarves and shoes.
It comes from what’s inside you – your emotions, thoughts, feelings. It is what you feed to your inner soul that emanates to your brain that tells you that you’re happy.
Now, I swear by these too. And I also witnessed one more thing that will make you feel, think and have loving and positive feelings, thoughts and emotions. What is it?
Those fingers gently yet firmly caressed my arms in masterful strokes, moving up and down. The slightly rough bits found in the scrub added texture and pressure to the massage. I could feel the dead cells of my skin exfoliated, scrubbed and cleansed. Instantly, I was one kilogram lighter.

I could feel the molecules on those areas being teased and pampered as my pressure points were lovingly tended to, sending a wave of bliss over my entire body and soul.

Julie and Julia. These two women don’t just share a similar name. They are intimately connected by one deep passion too, despite separated by space and time. Julie is at a crossroad in her life. Not someone who has ever completed something in her life before, she gamely takes up the suggestion of her husband to start a blog. After a few rounds of to-and-fro on what to write, she decides to challenge herself to blog about cooking. Not just ordinary cooking where she does when she has time or the mood to, but to finish cooking 52 recipes by the famous celebrity chef Julia Child in 365 days.

At Stuart’s suggestion, I went out yesterday. With an original plan to sit at a cafe and watch the world go by, I changed my course and decided to prowl for my elusive mobile phone! Off I went to Funan IT Mall (you may ask, why there? Well, because some guy from HTC Customer Service told me Challenger and one more shop at Funan had live sets for me to test before I decide which model to buy!). Didn’t get to test any HTC sets (those shops mentioned didn’t really carry any, save for one model per store. Ha!) except for the super heavy HTC Touch Pro 2, which was a tad too weighty for me, hence it was eliminated from my watchlist.
