Yoga thoughts

Nothing sensible is coming out of this humble mind. I have so much to share but there seems to be a shortage of words. Humanity is creeping in my entire system. Bad back and all, this woman is exactly the epitome of vulnerability. Just like the gloomy weather, my mood is a bit off at times. Still, in the midst of the irregular flow of normalcy, I am blessed to be given the opportunity to still meet good people who help me realize that I am no different from them. These women at the shala are reminders that I am loved and I am a beautiful creation.

I am very happy to see my teacher Jon again. At least, for three Saturdays, he was able to journey with me in my practice. I am so thankful for his usual gentleness in his attending to my poses. My heart is glad knowing he has seen so much growth in my practice. I was my emotional self  hearing it from him. It has inspired me to keep on practicing and constantly embrace my being me. A yogin.

I am a bit sad today, however. I wanted so much to hug him  and to personally bid him goodbye but he was still very busy attending to many students so I decided to leave. Though I wrote him a message, I am still thinking of seeing him for the last time before he leaves. Anyway, he told me he wished to see me again. Of  course we will certainly meet someday soon.

I dont know how to frequent my practice with my work schedule. I guess it will be up to the universe to give me the time and space. May the Universe conspire with me again.I want to practice more days. I need to. I have to.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Quotes

So the magic saga ends.I am not really a big fan of Harry Potter but I decided to watch this last journey with my friend Amy. The effects were great as expected.There were life lessons learned.I screamed at some parts.It was in its own way a great magical story.



Here are some quotes I kind of love.



Albus Dumbledore
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?


Ron Weasley
(with regard to Peeves singing his victory song) That really captures the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn't it?



(Engraved on Dobby's grave)
Here lies Dobby, a free elf.



Luna Lovegood
I think the answer is: a circle that has no beginning.



Hermione Granger
Mudblood, and proud of it!



Peeves
We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the one,
And Voldy's gone moldy, so now let's have fun!


Sirius Black
[On being asked if dying hurt] Dying? Not at all. Quicker and easier than falling asleep.



Voldemort
That Potter lives is due more to my errors, than to his triumphs... I have been careless, and so have been thwarted by luck and chance, those wreckers of all but the best laid plans. But I know better now. I understand those things that I did not understand before. I must be the one to kill Harry Potter, and I shall be.



Albus Dumbledore
It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.



Dudley Dursley
(to Harry) I don't think you're a waste of space.



Albus Dumbledore
Do not pity the dead, Harry, pity the living. Above all, pity those who live without love. By returning you may ensure that fewer souls are maimed and fewer families are torn apart. If that seems to you a worthy goal, then we say goodbye for the present.



Hermione Granger
Wands are only as powerful as the wizards who use them. Some wizards just like to boast that theirs are bigger and better than other people's.


Albus Dumbledore
Power was my weakness and my temptation.



Luna Lovegood
(after McGonagall says Lord Voldemort is attacking) Ooh! We can say that name now?



Albus Dumbledore
That which Voldemort does not value, he takes no trouble to understand. Of house-elves and children's tales, of love, loyalty, and innocence, Voldemort knows and understands nothing. Nothing. That they all have a power beyond his own, a power beyond the reach of any magic, is a truth he has never grasped.



(Engraved on Rowena Ravenclaw's diadem)
Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure.



Ronald Weasley
All's fair in love and war, and this is a bit of both.



Mr. Ollivander
The wand chooses the wizard, that much has always been clear to those of us who have studied wandlore.



Harry Potter
(to Ron and Hermione kissing) Oi! There's a war going on here!


Ron Weasley
(referring to Draco Malfoy's son) Make sure you beat him in every test, Rosie. Thank God you inherited your mother's brains.


Fred Weasley
For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That's a Basilisk, listeners. One simple test, check whether the thing that's glaring at you has got legs. If it has, it's safe to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that's still likely to be the last thing you ever do.

Fun Saturday

I was thirty minutes early coming to the Chi Spa today.I stayed at the comfort room and got myself ready.I had a great time meeting and chatting with a few great women who attended the 9 am session.I really hoped I could join that class but due to my commitments with my students I really had to forego attending.I do want to venture into the MYSORE thing.I am contemplating on joining this Monday.May the force be with me!


The practice was great as usual.I was sweating tons again.I was glad Jiah was there.She's  a great  woman.There were I guess 8 of us in the class today.As usual, I had some chit chat with Jon and Jiah.If only times like that last.We could only create  good memories with our teacher as he will eventually be leaving us.It is always nice to share laughters after the practice.The shala has been an avenue for me to be myself always.


Jiah and I had a great time conversing continuously until lunch time at Maxx's, Shangrila.It was my first time to open up something that concerned two individuals.I was glad she had such a good heart to spend time with me.The only downside  of that lunch was me having chicken.Now, my belly's starting to agonize.May the Universe forgive me for giving in to temptation. (:






with Jiah

I was late from my movie date with Amy and Donn.Thankfully, they already purchased my ticket.It was just fortunate that I only missed a few scenes.It was  a a great flick.




with Amy and the Green Lantern casts

It was raining when we went  out.We were supposed to go to the market to buy our food but we ended up going home immediately.I had a great time today.I felt sleepy though but my heart's very happy.


Tomorrow's Father's Day.Have a happy one dear fathers specially to my papa.


OM.
