7 Simple Things everyone should do once in a while




"Life is a great big canvas, and you should throw all the paint on it you can" ~Danny Kaye

For once...Im gonna stop all the pre-blabbering and just cut to the chase....HERE you go dear readers, with my top 7! :) :)

1.WALK IN THE RAIN




Alone or with your best friend...with and umbrella or without one..walk or run..nobody couldn't care any less...just enjoy the feeling of 'RAIN' falling all over you!...


2. WATCH SUNRISE/SUNSET AT A QUIET BEACH




There is nothing more beautiful than the beauty of a plain sunset/sunrise. Pause a few minutes of your busy life to look around and see how wonderful the world around you is,while you are still a part of it.
AND YEAH..while you are still at it...walk miles and miles on the beach with no shoes on..!


3. GO ON A DESTINATION-LESS JOURNEY


What can be more fun than that!! The adventure...the experience!!!(but mind it...DO NOT GET LOST AND GET EATEN BY A TIGER! I repeat DO not get EATEN BY A TIGERRR!)


4. OFFER FREE HUGS TO ALL THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE THE MOST




Now there..I don't mean hug all the random people you on the street..you might as well end up with a red cheek!LOL! Just a few seconds of your time...to hug all the people you love..and tell them how much they mean to you....In case you are not the typical 'hugger'..Id suggest slip in tiny notes into your favorite people's things and tell them that you love them! It would totally make their day and yours too! (My personal take..Its one thing to tell a person you love them..and a whole other thing to show that you love them!)


5.CREATE A FUNNY MEMORY FOR SOMEONE WITH YOU IN IT


Think of it this way....you do something so epic funny that after you die..even your children's children talk about you and crack up! What a way to leave behind memories! Roll on the ground laughing.....Roll on the ground to make other people laugh...it doesn't really matter which way you chose to entertain others coz in the words of Victor Hugo

"Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human face "

What better way to live than to drive winter from peoples faces!:)

6. FOR A DAY :





What more can I say...The picture says it all! :) At least for a one day of your long and tiring life..live like a total freelancer! One day that you'll remember for the rest of your life!


7.VOLUNTEER



Be a part of something. It doesn't really require to be a big thing, it could be as small as helping the old lady cross the street her...Help someone in need of help before they ask to be helped.The very essence of volunteering lies in the fact that you become a part of somebody Else's life to make it a little more better, be it just for a matter of a few seconds.



Those were just few pointers that i thought were worth sharing. After all Its your life..Do what ever craziest thing you feel like doing!



Its just one life that we'v got...but the journey sure is long! So make the ride worth while!


So I'll leave you here my dear readers, who were kind enough to scroll till the end, one of my favorite quotes...

'Life is like a blanket too short. You pull it up and your toes rebel, you yank it down and shivers meander about your shoulder; but cheerful folks manage to draw their knees up and pass a very comfortable night.' ~Marion Howard


HAPPY LIVING!

What to do if you are having a mid life crisis?

Go on a rejection roller coaster. I'm not kidding. Really. The one way to get through this so called mid life crisis is do as many insane things as possible and get rejected up on your face as many time as possible. But the key here is not to give up. Keep on trying. Keep on trying for new things. Keep on finding ways to make a complete jack of yourself. Keep on doing those things you've always wanted to do even though you are not good enough. The only key is to Not Not Not Never Ever Ever like forever GIVE UP.

Cinderella and the 4 Knights KDrama Review

Image
Binge watched another Korean drama after a long time. Here is my review on it. This is just like the name says. One Girl, 4 boys and the girl ends up living like a Cinderella at a Sky house where 3 of these 4 knights stay. Like any KDrama, almost all the boys fall for this Cinderella Girl, and there is always that one Boy who is super rude to girl but she falls for him anyways. That is what happened here too. The cast did a wonderful job with their roles and played their part like total Pro's. This is my first time watching a KDrama with  Park So-dam  in it. I'd have to admit, I loved her acting on screen.  Jung Il-woo  also did a good job with this role. This was my third KDrama with his as a lead and franky, I think he did an even more better job in ' High-End Crush '. I watched  Ahn Jae-hyun  in both Blood and My Love from another Star. This was probably the best he performed. Though the story line was way to predictable, Ahn Jae Hyuns character in this D

Talk about things that matter

Ever heard the phrase talk is cheap? I think it's time we reiterated that phrase and make everyone everywhere understand it. You see, these days I'm seeing people making use of words for the the most useless-est things possible. They use words to curse each other, talk bad about each other, plot against each other, hurt each other.. the list seems simply endless. What the Bible says is, when you speak, let your words be seasoned with grace so that everyone who hears it will be benefitted from it. The comparison infact is with salt. How salt adds flavor to absolutely anything, your words are supposed to add flavor to life. I know it is difficult to literally think before every word that comes out of your precious mouth. But for starters, one place I'd recommend you start off with is reminiscing about what you have already spoken and taking time to evaluate yourself. Here are 3 questions you should ask yourself after every conversation 1. Did I really have to say somethin
