Retrospective

2007 has been such an eventful year, I don't even know where to begin.

2007 isn't really the year to talk about work, since I hardly did any. I mean, I haven't held a job in almost a year, which means I have been poor as a pauper, but very fulfilled emotionally. I 'm talking about my stay in Italy, which was so beautiful, I still have sweet dreams about it from time to time. I recall the fresh air in the Tuscan countryside, the BEST seafood pasta I had in Maremma at this beachside restaurant, the daily Italian classes, the amazing friends...Gosh, it still feels so recent.

That said, there have been several downs too, mainly with my body. Not insecurities, but infections (eye and ear), bad headaches, a sprained wrist and a nasty, nasty scald incident. Perhaps that's part and parcel of aging, but I have learnt to appreciate life and health a bit more especially after the scald episode.

Which means for the coming year,
1) I am going to stay fit, by going back into working out.
2) I am cutting back on caffeine. Moderation is the word.
3) I am taking things easy and relaking more. Life's too short.
4) I will be Happy.

Pretty manageable, huh?

Ugg-ly

One of my favourite things in this world must be these super-comfy boots from Ugg Australia.
I got my tall pair in dark brown in Melbourne a few days back, and I am sooo.. in love with it. Now, what makes it really different is that it is lined with Australian sheepskin, which makes it so comfy to wear, like walking on a luxurious, soft carpet, plus they really do keep you warm! In fact, it is okay to skip the socks. The exterior is suede, and nice to the touch.

It's just really a shame that the weather here does not quite permit us to wear boots. But I am so ready to get my second pair in camel. Can't wait.
