Do not be too moral. 

You may cheat yourself out of much life so. 

Aim above morality. 

Be not simply good; be good for something. 

~Henry David Thoreau

For those who haven’t watched it yet, please do (It’s still showing here in Australia, that’s how popular this movie is). If you’re a Filipino grounded to the harsh realities of life in the Philippines, you can most probabyly relate to this movie.If not, then this movie is a learning experience. The circumstances shown in the movie still happen everywhere in the world. You just have to open your eyes and see what’s really out there.

Eat Pray Love

I’ve been wanting to read this book ever since I saw it at Borders. What captured my attention was the word “pray”.  Lately, I’ve been reading books which are about faith, religion, and spirituality. But this one is a fun way to read a book which are about those subjects. Maybe because it’s a personal experience of the author, and it’s grounded to the everyday and mundane things that we do and worried about. All the same, this book has taught me that self-discovery is a lifelong process and that loving one’s self is not an easy task. You may be on your 20’s, 40’s or on the last stages of your life, but surely, there is still a lot more to learn and love about yourself.

Here’s another review from Powell’s Books (http://www.powells.com/biblio/0670034711) :

“An intensely articulate and moving memoir of self-discovery, Eat, Pray, Love is about what can happen when you claim responsibility for your own contentment and stop trying to live in imitation of society’s ideals. It is certain to touch anyone who has ever woken up to the unrelenting need for change.”

Gluttony

Guilty. Just look at us.

Hehe.. We went to Coffee Club this morning (our favorite cafe!) Ned had a big breakfast with steak, bacon, sausage, toast, eggs and mushrooms. Mind you, when they say big breakfast here in Australia, it is really BIG! He had late night shifts the whole week and haven’t been eating well (he opted to sleep rather than eat), so I can understand how hungry he was.

While I had my favorite ceasar salad with grilled chicken. I rarely eat salads (I only eat salad when we eat in Coffee Club), but this one is really good so I can eat it even at breakfast!Hehe.. Weird!

Strained eyes?

Note from me:  always get really tired and strained eyes at the end of the day and when I saw this article, I found the solution to my problem. Some of the phrases and sentences from the articlae has been deleted and I highlighted the important points.  I just need to show the parts that would help those who are suffering from the same problem that I do with my eyes. I hope this would help you too. :p

Tired and strained eyes? You’re looking at the wrong part of your computer monitor!
