music of the moment: nil

hmm the last post is STILL 100th. i have an idea its either blogger's counter has a prob or juz tat they can't count further than the 100th post..haha

anw read this article in ivillage which i found really encouraging.. here's an excerpt on it:

"I guess what I have learned, even if I don't always remember to embrace it at all the right moments, is that you really have to articulate in your mind what DOES make you special, and what you DO have to offer yourself and others, and then try to remind yourself of what a super cool person you are when you are feeling slighted by someone else, as you did at the wedding, and as I did at the party. Just because someone is prettier, or thinner, or has better legs, or better hair, or a better job...that doesn't make them better, or happier, or loved more, nor does someone else's situation make yours any less. True, they may be thinner, but you are still the same super cool person that you were before they walked into your life. "

i really really like this paragraph, cuz its juz wat i need...... i often get jealousy pangs, but mostly with things other than physical issues.. more of character issues.. like oh X is so creative, Y has super time management skills, Z is a really great problem solver, A is so sensitive to her friends' needs, B knows just what to do at the right time, C seems to know everything, D is always surrounded by friends, E is so capable etc etc.. all of which i'm not..

but well after reading tat paragraph i'm really encouraged.. to find out and keep reminding myself about the things that i have to offer, that make me special. :D but.. like wat?? eh. oh well nvm i'm sure i'll find out someday. :)

anw i hope that this paragraph (for the full article, click here ) helped you all as much as it helped me, or even more.

cheers peeps! love yourself :)
