I think making time for oneself is important. I think it´s often too easy to say there´s no time. I think about it and how easy it is to while away time and how easy it is to make time when there's no time.
I realized that making time is really the key to my happiness these days.
So these are the 5 things I try to make time for everyday.
1. To wake up around 30 mins earlier than my son. This give me time for a nice relaxing shower and to look and feel great for the day.
2. To sit down and have a decent lunch. I wait until I have the time to do this. I love to enjoy mine, since I'm an extremely slow eater while my son naps.
3. Since I'm mildly OC ( I'm sure Luis will beg to differ and will decribe me slightly higher up that scale of OC'ness), I find sparing at least 30 min a day for organization keeps my head clear. A lot better than me going around and saying "oh no, oh no, this is driving me nuts"
4. I'll make time for a cuppa and a slice of somesort. For me my guilty pleasure has always been a piece of cake, or lately not sure why TWIX. Marsha, chocolate? Seriously. Never used to. Anyways, I've lately been enjoying my Chai Tea with spicy spices.
5. To connect with a friend, read or write. This one is so important especially when I contact or drop a note to a friend, as God only knows what great friends I have in my life and so making an effort is a priority for me these days. Again I say, love the people that really love you.
" Time is very slow for those who wait, very fast for those who are scared, very long for those who lament, very short for those who celebrate
The year has really started off so nicely! Although it was rather tough trying to settle in and adjust to routine after such an amazing holiday - what a dream come true , a whole month with my family in NZ! It was just pure joy to see my parents and my gorgeous LA bond, to attend my sister´s wedding, meet my oh- so- cool new brother -in- law and see my varsity and high school mates after a good 8 years! Oh, it was all too much of a good thing.
Thank you, thank you, thank you Lord. What would life be without you?
We touched down in Santiago on the 4th of Jan 2014- horribly jet- lagged but feeling so blessed, it was so nice to be back home too, back to our lovely refuge.
So all this has made me stop and conclude that -
I´m done looking back and then feeling grateful.
I'm hoping to cherish this year, my life, my good good life.
The question is, how can I seize each day and what can I already be so grateful about?
(Thinking cap on )
1. Make my son laugh and just enjoy him - I really haven't laughed so much in my life, so I attempt to make him as happy as he makes me. What could be more of a blessing than children?
2. To continue to clear out my closet and give things away! My "OC'ness" is really helping in this area.
3. To cherish my Luis. This man, where do I start? I'm just blessed. Such a beautiful person inside out. 11 years...it's been 11 years and I'm still smitten.
4. I love my home. It's just a great representation of us. I also enjoy our daydream talks of our future home.
5. To know an unimaginable dimension of love that my son has given me.
6. For such amazing friends! I smile at this and it makes me so content because I really do have such friends that would do anything for me. "Really love people that love you"
7. For my new career path that I'm embarking on. Such excitement.
8. For being in Chile now - who knew that I'll never ever ever wanna move again because this is just perfect! Now travel is a different story - I'm always thirsty for more.
9. For the ability to eat and eat and not put on weight ( at least for now) oh, how I enjoy my food! Credit goes to my Pilates teacher though. (Luis keeps mentioning he needs to send him a gift ! ha )
10. To spend more time with God.
11. To not whinge.
12. To not be too OC even though it brings such joy to see my home spotless.
13. My family is scattered, miles away, but I do not miss them in a painful kinda way because of such technology. Oh, how things have change - I remember speaking to mom only once a week in highschool! Look how lucky we are now? it's basically constant! Makes me so grateful.
14. My son's loving nature. His cuddles, his kisses and the smiles he gives me.
I live for moments like that.
(Son, you are so like Daddy in this way)
15. For a husband that prays.
16. For a son that is kinda OC too !
.....and the list goes on...my hope is that I'll make time to continue this list!

It's so nice to feel so put together. Not physically like in a nice bright top that makes you pop kind of beauty, but mentally. I spent a good amount of time today with my son and with some very good friends and I'm just bursting with love. I think to myself, there is really not much time to love the people we are really meant to love. Time to sip on tea and laugh the afternoon away, to discuss engaging books or just to sit and enjoy the sunset. True friends. They are precious and not many. The pressures of society haunt me though as I play out my thoughts. You know, "the face" we need to put on to please everyone in sight and to fear rather than to respect authority, to conform rather then to voice out. I remember spending my younger days in much silence as I didn't really see the point in voicing out when some people really aren't worth the effort.
I guess in a way, that is how I guarded my heart.
I grew up in a highly disciplined environment which in a way didn't make it hard for me. It suited my personally, my true friends know me and I thank God for giving me the greatest friends.
How do you guard your heart?
So, I was thinking about all of this today and a bible verse really hit a nerve from Joyce Meyer's teachings.
It says..
We need to guard our own hearts. Guard our hearts, Guard our hearts.
We are the masters of our heart. Don't let those voices haunt you.
Proverbs 4:23 " Keep vigilant watch over your heart; that's where life starts"
Think about that. It's a strong message. It´s an easy message
I had one of the most amazing days last week. Everything was just great, everything fell into place. I wanted to write but just didn't get to it. Here we have it anyway-- a start of a new week, but it's looking good so far with lunches and dinners planned, Spanish, Pilate Classes and ending nicely with a long weekend where Luis is taking me to our favourite spot just to relax. I hear they'll be a nice fireplace too
Fantastic with the ever lowering temperature.
This post is just a reminder to believers out there - that there is a time for everything. I sometimes feel discouraged, being away from everything I once knew or thought would be - a picket fence surrounded by my family, my extended family not too far away, a job around the corner pushing drugs of course
and a really big furry dog because ..
hey, I wouldn't have to worry about moving--never!
Probably if you're in that tangle of change, where everything is moving too quickly, you'll be able to relate to this - that over-stinking-overwhelming feeling. When I think about it though, mostly it's my thoughts. Circuiting this never ending - me, myself and I. What am I going to do? What shall I be? What can I do? I'm quickly reminded though, every time to look at my life. Can I complain? Hardly. It would be almost absurd to even think of doing so. I am very grateful. What is it then that I am searching for?
So yes, when we search for honour, personal power, and only think about "our time' yes, we are often disappointed - but in real, Christ Jesus in the person we need to honour, for he has a plan. Beth Moore reminds us that Jesus has given us the power to humble ourselves or he can humble us. Which do you prefer? :) GOD is never inactive. Something is up! Things on earth are coming in the way of heaven.
That is why HE has turned on the pause button.
I thank God a thousand times over after that. Yes, yes I surrender, take lead as you have always. As you have never disappointed me. Thank you for the great reminder, that YOU are indeed the potter
- HE who shapes and moulds.
I remember praying hard after a bout of inconsolable crying in 2003. Luis had to leave for Chile after only 4 months of me, being totally swept off my feet and drenched in love - mind, body and soul. I remember saying to God , - You showed me this person, I'm in unthinkable, inexplicable bliss...and now he's leaving? ( though I was fully aware as he was on an exchange)
Then I gathered myself and said clearly to HIM, that I'm leaving this relationship in HIS hands and I did.
and I tell you what- I had such strenght, comfort and such certainty that Luis was the one!
I believed it to the bone.
[ I did miss him terribly and of course it was tough, I am human after all, but largely full of comfort - my indebted thanks to my best friends in NZ and my family for their invaluable support ]
My life is beautiful. HE has certainly paved it and have done a marvelous job so far,
So why not surrender all, I ask myself? Why do I question HIM ? <slap face>
So that's my little testimony; and if I search deep within me, this is the life I've wanted all along,
this is the life, I've dreamt a hundred thousand dreams.
Chile is the place. I don't say this enough to Luis. Now it's written in black & white. So yeah :) It does feel so right for now. After all HE does holds the future - for all I know, I might be in Timbuktu next !
Last Friday, we had a great teaching that struck a chord and struck again and again. I saw flashes of things -- happenings of the past and matters at hand playing in my unrested mind all at once but everything in that crazy muddle of a moment just came to a standstill. I stopped and smiled
as I reflected upon the teaching and my life.
There were 4 main points:
1. When it's time? Is it the time of the Lord or is it not
2. When it's time to wait - Ecclesiastes 3:1,7 say," There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven...a time to be silent and a time to speak."
3. When it's time to wait for someone else's time : The book of Esther, recall Mark 6:23, the time wasn't right for Xerxes neither for Haman.
4. When the,"Meantime" is God's time: Isa. 40:31, "But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strenght, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be faint"
So yes, it's all about you Jesus and faith is the key. In the meantime, "Remember the wonders that he has done...."
( 1 chronicles 16.12)
One fine day, I shall speak like a true Chilean xx :-)
Fridays are so refreshing, it's the day I meet with my lovely friends for my cell group. We are such girly-girls at this thing - we eat , we chat all at once and laugh too loud. We're currently in the midst on studying the book of Esther with Beth Moore" - "It's tough Being a Women". Beth's ministry specifically targets women - how to teach and love in God's love. She has taught me so much about my surroundings, my life, my perceptions and the way I see things. Living away from such comforts and the securities of my nuclear family, it's so easy to get caught up with the situation at hand. Including the feeling of loneliness that could creep up without constant spiritual stimulation. At least for me,
it's an unexplainable peace I can only get through His presence in my life.
I'm thankful for these bunch of friends - such friends who are strong Godly women. God only knows how much I need this to grow and live this life I've happily chosen. It just come to show that, we need women in our lives but many a time we tend to shun them for silly reasons and eventually realize we've just wasted so much of our time. Moreover, we actually are so similar that we do need each other, like really...who else could possibly understand our complexities.
Beth interviewed 400 women from around the world and asked the simple question," What is the most difficult thing about being a women?" The vast majority said. HORMONES HORMONES HORMONES. In one lady's words ( paraphrasing here)," We have pre-PMS , PMS and post-PMS, that just leaves us with one normal week." How true it that ! We are so governed by the natural way we are created with our infamous double x- chromosomes that we really need to learn to embrace each other.
Our recent teaching was excellent , she ended by saying, " Meanness is curable". This was followed by these reactions. X turned around at me and said, "Have you met a meanie"? and she went on to say, "I don't think I have." This was shortly followed by Y saying, " Yes, I have. I am mean." Then Z said, " I am mean, I was so angry at this boy at the supermarket for deliberatedly crushing my buns with his fist, that I hit his hand". I have never hit another child before.
Not sure what got into me. After that, I was so embarrassed that I cried."
So I ask myself now. Has someone ever been mean to me? What are my thoughts and my perceptions.
My perception says YES. Was it my insecurities? Was it my fear? Was it my need to feel strong? Or shall I just take the easy way out and say that it was premeditated on behalf of the other party as that would be indeed agreeably and acceptable as simply "mean."
But Beth teaches us to just back off. Let God do the rest. God teaches us never to repay evil with evil. Is this easy? No. but is it achievable? Yes, only through a spiritual heart.
She teaches, meanness always has a history. So, what can I take from all of this? I need to move on, as all is history and that certain so and so? Oh, they must have had some major baggage to start of with. Perhaps, I was just in the wrong place, at the wrong time.
Why carry the burden when we don't really have to aye?
Our knowledge and understanding of all the ugliness around us are just beyond our human mind.
I'll like to end with a few verses to ponder upon.
Much love xx

I haven't laughed so much during a movie... in a while. It was silly, relaxing and not mind-boggling in any way. Just crazy conversation. Adam Sandler's new movie is just perfect for some mid-week laughter especially after some serious furniture hunting and number crunching. All that adrenaline mixed with anxiety to furnish - recipe for collapse. Truly, only free popcorn and Coke Pepsi light could have helped ( coupons - only better). Now, I guess we're all geared up again to make some choices for our home this weekend. Oh, excitement! The weeks seemed to have just flown by. It's almost May. Seriously? This means life has been keeping me busy. Come to think, life has been pretty good. I thank God., especially as the Holy Week sinks in. I had lunch at Anke's yesterday, (Maundy Thursday) to commemorate this significant day of the year. It was wonderful time spent with my friends - blessings in my life.
Okay, so where was I? Ah, yes. Popcorn and movie. Which actually reminds me of a better story. There was popcorn at Roxette's concert ! Like hello?? That was bizarre Everything was like 80's of course and they had a choice of salt or caramel popcorn! Just imagine the stripes, the glitter, the shiny tops, the crazy hair and there goes the guy with the carton of popcorn screaming at the top of his lungs. Pure hysterically joy for me. Just the thought of it.
Think of it for just a second. Right? Ha ha
The number of people who actually blenched their hair and had Mohawks were like....
3 at least in our section, but they stood out !
Picture Mr. Mohawk with a large box of popcorn singing to Roxette, with real skinny black pants. That's so rare in "conservative Chile" you know, any individualistic style for the matter of fact - so all thrill for me, after5 months. I had moments, where everything stood still and I thought, wow all these craziness with the popcorn and the singing to a band which I thought just a few weeks before had ceased to exist, was in front of me; here for my entertainment -it was all so exhilarating. Strange, but who knew my soul needed this. I listened to this band way back and often heard pieces of it during movies. Could possibly explain why I knew the lyrics to almost every song; but the fact that she still could get into those leather pants at her age ? Applause. Honestly, true motivation ! - Gun-Marie Fredriksson certainly has abs by the look of her toned arms and how very true - men age very well (mostly). Per Håkan Gessle - not bad care at all . Ah, it was great. Sometimes all we need is popcorn to tickle those senses to get us up and going again :)
English teacher, me? Aye! Well you know sort of- minus the paper qualifications :) ! I'm happy to inform you all that the Orphanage (La Granja) I've been volunteering at, has accepted our proposal (cell group) to teach English at the school. Praise God ! This orphanage is funded by the Catholic Ministry and houses children aged 2 to16 years. The director of the home, was so happy that he even offered the 8 of us provisions for the kids - exercise books, pencils and all the photocopies that we might need and even a choice of two rooms!
No seriously. That's huge and will help us tremendously.
How true is it that God opens up doors ( he shuts them too, but opens the right ones :) Firstly, as we met over brunch [over numerous cups of coffee - by the way, I highly recommend Cafe Melba ( I'm a coffee junkie ) I haven't had a Flat White for the longest time, I think Melbourne waswhereI had thelast realgood one. Oh, Melbourne, you simply have the best coffees and places to tame those craving] for a series of discussions, pondering sessions and brain storming all in one. We were all full of enthusiasm but in desperate need to have some sort of structure. Both for the proposal and for adequate material to jump start the project. Shortly after, God provided (barely a week into it) Coincidentally, the local newspaper is currently providing English language resources for a small extra weekly fee with the daily paper for beginner English - we get everything we need which includes even an interactive CD, stickers and more! All too perfect. Meanwhile, The Ministry of Education in Chile are changing up their syllabus with a new text book. So that leaves us with plenty of books to structure our lessons from using the un-used textbooks and hopefully provide these lovely girls with them in the future (English is only taught for an hour a week in a class of 40 or more students in public schools) Then, we had to think of decorating the potential classroom (admittedly, we were a bit too excited and suggested it - and of course El director was overjoyed and kept mentioning it ) In this,we had to put on our thinking caps again- we initially figured maybe we'll do some drawings and make posters but with time constrain it would certainly prove to be a mission and at the same time would be challenging to keep things "professional looking". However, during one of our discussions, it dawned to me that a month back, while tagging along with my sister- in- law (Carola) during her long school break ( I believe teachers have the best lives!) we stopped by at a house. That house turned out to be a little resource shop especially for teachers. How valuable that little info has served us now! - we found beautiful colourful posters and an ample of other extra helpful things that would most definitely make our little classroom pretty and educationally presentable.
Everything we do, everything we see and everyone that walks into our lives have a purpose. I believe this with all that I know - one fine day if I have the opportunity, I have many stories to share :)
Looking back, many other things have really come together quickly for us and personally, I've always wanted to teach; and to teach children? These girls? How perfect. I fell in love with them from my very first visit. The other day, upon my return from the Orphanage, I mentioned to Luis how lovely it would be to keep one of them! (jokingly of course)
So the next time, as I was heading there, Luis turned around and said to me, " Don't steal an orphan!"
Ah, my life, you know how to make me smile. I adore you.
So everything aside, with our recent move and getting adjusted, this project has certainly
landed in such an excellent time in my life.
God hears prayers.
So things have come together; with a time and date set, our little group is all prepared to have our first practice for the class soon. Of course, I got my mental self into a frenzy by volunteering to teach the first class on the 2nd May!
I'm sure it would be challenging, but at the same time I'm pretty prepared for an extremely exciting
journey with these precious beings. Everything about this project stirs me.
It's consuming me these days in a good way.
Will definitely keep you all posted.
Below are a few photos from our recent visit. God bless you all !
With the director of the home with the accepted proposal. We were missing Anke & Silvia that day.
This photo was taken inside one of the little cabins which holds up to 8 girls. Notice the touch of pink !
Rocio presenting the "Tia" (Auntie) who looks after this cabin with a few gifts for her personally this time. Each cabin has an "elder" who takes care of them.
To give you a picture of an example of a room. I like how disciplined they are. This was around 10am in the morning when they were at school. They did make their beds ! Look how orderly their shoes are too. They have enough, mostly the basics though - they share that closet between the 3 of them
I was fascinated with all the pink and how neat this girl is too. Hoping I didn't forget to straighten out the dent I made on her bed! :/
Us with the Tia :) Each cabin is like a little house with rooms upstairs, living room with a television set, a kitchenette, dining room, bathrooms and toilets. Minus the heaters for winters and fans for summer. Something we're working on desperately to get them before winter takes over Santiago again.
"There was a little girl we saw with rashes and cracks all over her lips and portions of her face last year, and when asked, she replied it only happens in winter"- Rocio
I had a fulfilling and life rewarding experience at a Girl's Orphanage last Friday. Words can't express the inner joy and what happiness these precious beings brought to me.
They seem to have scarless souls and endless love to show even though most of them have been abused by the people they have trusted the most.
Many of these girls have been removed from their birth homes.
They reminded me of the simplicity of life and what it can offer and to appreciate the love I have. How at times, I take for granted the wonderful people around me.
That life indeed is just borrowed time and with a blink of an eye, life could change.
Thank you so much girls !
The youngest !
Origami time - talented, this little girl was busy showing us :)
At her house at the orphanage - each holds up to 8 children - happy with her little gift bag
Rocio from my cell group came up with this brilliant idea to get the girls to decorate their own muffins - we got whip cream, colourings and asked them what was their favourite colour. After that, they happily decorated away and got to eat the product of their hard work !
With her juice, having a nice tea time
Finger licking good !
Older girls up to the age of 17 years

Till the next time!
Oh, I must thank my cell group - wouldn't have been possible without you all!

I just watched my wedding video again and was filled with so much emotion and joy - such happiness. With the year coming to an end, I'm thankful that I've had a great year to look back at. The many family and friends on the video reminded me of the reasons of why it has been such. So the top of my list for grateful things in 2010 are my family & friends - for friendships rekindled and the new ones I've made - some I know that would last a lifetime. So, before I quickly forget this year as it slowly draws to an end, I would like to remind myself of all the things I'm grateful for and to give it a last embrace.
1) My two year wedding anniversary to Luis, my best friend and the love of my life
2) The opportunities and blessings I've had with my husband to visit another 10 countries, as traveling is one of my passions in life
3) To be able to practice as a Pharmacist with ease in Malaysia
4) The ability to live in the city centre of Kuala Lumpur as I do love the bustling city life
5) To have my family close by and to have the resources to see one other
6) To have more than enough to live well and enjoy life with good health
7) For the health of my grandfather and the bond we share
8) For my sister that was blessed by our Lord for her job she loves in NZ, for her happiness now.
9) My father who received his much deserved Datukship and mum who did excellently in her final year of service.
10) For our life in Chile now - for a new life that has shown us so much already and has good prospects
11) For my God almighty for shaping this year, this life for me.
Thus for 2011, just to let you know, since you do know lots about me already with my ramblings on my blog and all, my resolutions are always the same - to be better and to learn as much as possible with a lot less whining :) With that, I would like to take the opportunity to wish you all a year that's nothing less than fulfilling.
Christmas has always been the most beautiful memory of childhood for me. Preparing for a huge party, having the carollers drop by mid -December, family friends over by night and the unravelling of gifts in the early hours of the morning. A time where being away from home came to a pause for around 2 months in conjunction with the school holidays. After a whole year away, the feeling of being back home with home cooked food , cookies baking in the oven and the sound of Christmas songs lingering in the background was simply bliss.
For the longest time, aside from the reflections on the birth of Christ, Christmas was about going back home.
This year though, I find myself in a situation - I'm not going back home. But wait, where's home? Time to rewind. Yes, that's right, I have since moved to Chile with my husband - indefinitely. So on the bright side, I have another home, a new home. With realisation comes acceptance - a good thing to hold close, as a time of reminiscing will dawn upon me soon enough as Christmas is only hours away.
Here in Chile , I have found everything and more that I could ask for - I have a wonderful loving family that come very close to my own. They are everything that defines love, they have reaffirmed the kind of love I grew up with. I'm blessed and I'm thankful for that .
Reflecting on the true meaning of Christmas, it really is about love, a sacrifice and about a beautiful life - a life eternal. The kind that fulfils you in a way that can only be explained by faith .
Thus, though it's not and should not by any means be mostly about gifts, I believe it's a way to show your love to others and to thank them just a bit for a whole year of love received. I have learnt that spending a little, or maybe making something or at least meditating for sanity, so when hubby comes home we ( OK, I ) don't drive him insane :)
or even taking a bit of my day to pray for someone has been rewarding in my life.
So, lets do something for someone, and at times why not something for ourselves too. Come to think of it, it definitely would be nice outside of Christmas too -I love to see people's faces glow up when you surprise them.
It really is so true, " You can't love another, until you've loved yourself". So since I've put up the tree this year and sorted the gift list in good time, I decided - I deserved some pampering! So I went for a Foot & Hand Spa. I honestly needed one, it's been months since India :)
Oh, and I do think they make great gifts too! - my special someone, hopefully you like.
Last Thursday I felt as excited as when I received my first pay check . I remember staring at my account on the computer screen until it logged off, called my mum and chatted away hysterically about that pay check and then couldn't sleep at night from all the self inflicted delirium. This time though, it was because Luis got paid !! This meant I was getting some juice too :). People, all I'm gonna say it that,
Luis has the biggest heart.
I never forget our times though, I met him at varsity - we started from nothing much money-wise,
but we studied hard
( well Luis partied hard too he never really needed to study much - he always found exams exhilarating!). I remember many things - shopping for budget food, carrying plastics of groceries back home, carrying home boxes of second hand books to read, walking everywhere
but we always had treats,
ours used to be take-away fish and chips that came in neatly cut newspaper,
" 2 dollar chips please," we used to say to the Chinese lady in Dunedin
but we were always so content
I find myself thanking God constiously now, I thank God for everything everyday.
We go through different phases in our life, but it's important to stick to your gut; to hear those tiny voices, the good and the bad and to be honest with yourself, to know what's important for you, to have depth in all corners of your thought system and to have an open-mind. It has found me continents away from everything I knew, but I'm content - it's a life I couldn't live without and a life I wouldn't change.
So Pray, pray everyday and listen.
" They may be ever seeing but never perceiving, and ever hearing but never understanding; otherwise they might turn and be forgiven!" Mark 4:12 ( The Parable of the Sower)
On a different note, this is me spending money before the pay check came in! <tsk tsk Marsha>
( I got the green light though, and it's for a good cause people )
One thing I've really wanted to share for sometime now is how I've grown to learn the importance of believing in something (aside from the importance of me, myself & I)- some people find it in religion, some find it in meditation and others by believing in a higher presence among others. As for me, I believe my whole life has been a testimony of how God has shaped it - God is definitely the centre of my life. The following song was played during my wedding. As I look back at my 7.5 year relationship with Luis, now my husband of 2 years, all I can say is - "In his time, he makes all things beautiful in his time"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=voOmWjAVqv8&feature=related
