White box is Skinade and left one is Korean Herbal Tea. Skinade is anti-aging drink contains Vitamin E, C and Collagen. Korean Tea….eh, I have no idea what is in it but it smells like ginger tea.

Wish you all a lovely day.

Law of attraction and my affirmation in 2015

Hi friends,

How was your start of the new year? Mine was as usual, but mentally, I am more energised than ever. I have been reading about the law of attraction, and understood better why it works for some people and it doesn’t for some others. It is an interesting and such a deep subject and if you are also interested, let’s meet up for coffee.

What intrigued me is the fact everything in this world is made of elements and also the theory that those reactions from these elements make things happen. Sorry, I am not explaining myself well. I am never good at physics but it is fascinating to read why and how the elements work and affect us.

Well, my dear friends, as you know me, I am always a happy guinea pig as long as it won’t harm my health and finance. Let me practice the theory and see how it will transform my life in 2015.

Let’s do something very nice to make us happy, let us allow leading the life how we want and being a person we always wanted to be.

I am so thrilled to see what is waiting for me in 2015.

Thanks for reading. God bless you all.

Love's Labour's Lost and Won

Hi friends,

My favourite Shakespeare’s play is always Comedy of Errors and the second favourite could be Much Ado About Nothing. It was my first time to watch Love’s Labour’s Lost and I found it as fun as Love’s Labour’s Won which is better known as Much Ado About Nothing.

Edward Bennett, who played Berowne and Benedick, is delightful to watch. He is not a good looking man in a traditional sense but he is a really talented actor. You will just agree that he is the Benedick as great as the one played by Kenneth Branagh or Derek Jacobi. Yes, he is that good. Unfortunately, Michelle Terry ‘s Beatrice was not quite my cup of tea. Emma Thompson still remains as my best.

All recent plays by RSC had been in simple costumes and sets but these two plays were nice surprise. It was proper costume drama in delightful stage sets.

Friends, go to Strartford and have good laugh. You will love them. They are simply too good to miss. 

Theatre of Life

Hi friends,

Hope you had good time over the Christmas and the New Year's Day. I immensely enjoyed myself in Stratford-upon-Avon during the break,

Ta-dah!

Yes, I watched them all! Oh my darlings, they are really good. If you have time, I highly recommend you to go to Stratford and watch them. People think that RSC's play is expensive. Yes, it can be but one of the tickets cost me only £14.

The rest? Well….you don’t want to know how much I spent to get seats in Row A. I can only say, I have no regrets. It was great entertainment and gave me quality time.  

“Life is a theatre.”

This is the famous quote Victor Hugo made. If similar, I actually prefer William Shakespeare’s one.  

“All the world’s a stage.”

I used to interpret these quotes that no one is genuine, people are just acting on their own stage. However, since I have become older and experienced life’s ups and downs, my perception became totally different. I understand them that one’s act / performance can change the result from the audience (surroundings) in any way.

What can be the right interpretation? Nothing is wrong, or rather every interpretation can be correct. They are very simple words yet give us lots of thoughts and that could be the performance on a stage, in a theatre and in one’s life.

“Life is like a theatre, but the question is not whether you are in the audience or on the stage but rather, you are where you want to be?”

Thank you

Hi friends

It was minus 4 this morning and it is literally freezing here. That is the downside of living in an old cottage in the middle of nowhere.

However, it is my blessing to have this dawn to start the day.

We now have less than 2 days in 2014. Health wise, it has been really a tough year from the start and I am still not 100%. It reminded me what I had been neglected though.

Although I look younger than my age, inside of my body is much older, especially, my lung which was diagnosed as weak as 67 years old. More than 20 years older than myself! It scared me, to be honest.

As you know, I never smoke and I hate the smell of cigarettes. I was never a big drinker but I stopped drinking. Well, life is soooooo not fair, especially for mine, ever since I was born.

That was my mantra until I hit my 40^th birthday. Now, I am happy and content with my so-not-fair-life. Things happen but it is ourselves to turn it into an opportunity or leave it as another unhappy memory.    

In the end of the day, it is our perception which will give meanings or values to everything around us. In another words, I am the only person who can make myself truly miserable or happy.

Off course, I prefer the latter one and it is how I should live. That is the very simple way of living  I am practicing in these days.

Thank you very much for your time reading my blog this year. Thank you for being there.

I wish you all the best in the new year. Have good fun.

Merry Christmas

Hi friends,

I wish you all Merry Christmas.

What did you get for yourself? I booked 2 plays at Royal Shakespeare and 1 at Swan Theatre. I will be at theatre on 30^th, 31^st December and 2^nd January. What a cultural way to spend winter holiday!   

Wherever you are, whatever you are doing, have great time.

Thinking of you on this special day. God bless you all.

Christmas Dinner

Hi friends,

I had my first Christmas turkey today. My friend and I went to Rooftop restaurant in Stratford-upon-Avon (again) and enjoyed the foods and the lovely riverside view.

I normally skip starter.  Instead, I had this.

Main course.

Then, pudding. It has to be chocolate. They created Angel’s wing with white chocolate and I could taste Bailey’s.

My friend had Christmas pudding with brandy custard. It looks small but considering the scary calories, this could be the sensible size for pudding eaters.

As always, lovely foods, friendly service, and great view. Definitely one of my favourites.
