051010:eat pray love = no work!


it is tuesday. i thought it would be my ordinary tuesday, work-lunch-work-exercise-watch tv-bum. but, after lunch, rubberband asked me if i could accompany him to a blind date tonite. as a sister, thought to give him a little support, so yea, i followed him to pick up his blind date whom lives 2 streets away & headed out to gurney for a movie - Eat Pray Love


Italy, the EAT part:
i guess majority of the women are on diet on daily basis, concious on what we eat, fat-free, low-fat & etc. one of the best part in this movie was to tell us to enjoy food and be satisfed with, esp in Italy (the pasta, spaghetti, pizza, gelatos!! dont worry about jeans getting tighter, go get a bigger size jeans instead! life is to enjoy, not to stuff yourself & not enjoying!


India, the PRAY part:
i guess at certain point of life, we would tend to search for guidance somewhere to reach God.

Once there was a man who pray for very very hard, he prays
"Dear God, please please please let me win a lottery."

He continues his prayers everyday, and one day he heard a voice after his prayer, God answered his prayers, "Dear son, please please please buy yourself a lottery."

The quote may sound funny, but i guess the senario may happen to many of us too ;)


Bali, the LOVE part:
love is all around. but meeting the right love on the right timing could play an important role to change one's life too.

in the movie, early part of their lives were happily married at first, but ended up divorcing their partners due to the circumstances of losing the "self-balance". as many of us, when in love (to career, family, lovers, materials), we tend to be blinded by love & lost ourselves. the movie ends with both divorcee met at the later stage of their live & appreaciate self & each other more.

as quoted from the movie by ketut : "ruin is the road to transformation. sometimes, imbalance of self is part of balance too!"

conclusion, the movie is very interesting & i feel good after watching the movie becos under the 3 catagory, it doesnt include Work! haha... and like the italian says, sometimes we should just dolce far niente...sweetness of doing nothing!
