9 April 08:A dates cake we bought from a cute vendor at the Warrandyte market when I was with my aunts in Melbourne.

I felt ecstatic. Longer than a moment but shorter than infinity. The unbounded freedom I felt as the soft evening sun kissed my face. The air; it was mildly cool. As cool as this ecstatic state of being. Adrenalin urging my body to move faster. I pushed, faster and faster. Forward and forward. My heart was racing. My legs ached from those impacts. My faced flushed. Parts of my body warmed up. I was heading to the peak of the hill, almost. I can taste the air; fresh, clean and crisp. Yet, my breathless lungs were bursting. Gasping for another breathe of air, I stopped. My chest heaved and heaved and heaved. It felt good. A surge of momentous feeling overcame me. I took in as much air as my lungs could take. My beating heart was happy. I smirked.
I shouldn’t. It was a terribly naughty thing to do. My muscles were not properly stretch, ankles not subjected to a rotation or two. But I went and did it anyway.
I ran. Then I ran somemore.
What else could I be doing?

I’m in the process of mending my body. The last ten years of unhealthly lifestyle including the careless consumption of alcohol and food, irregular eating hours, binge snacking, sporadic exercises and whatever crap I’ve subjected my body to had done some damages. I don’t really want to be admitted to hospital again because I cannot breathe. I’m tired of the eczema problem that has never really gone away since I was a child. I hate the feeling of bloated like I’m permanently 5 months pregnant. Some time next week, I’ll put myself through a three-week holistic detox programme to rid my body of the unhealthy. Heck, I’ve even started myself on multivitamins, organic food, rice milk and lots of herbal tea. Peppermint tea. They are beautiful. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to give up loving the smell of coffee first thing in the morning, but I’ve stopped taking any for a week now. Maybe one day when I’m wussy enough, I’ll try decafs.

Hrm… I was wondering where you were yesterday… lol
And reading your Blog… what were you REALLY doing? 0.o lol
You naaasty
Hey, what does rice milk taste like? I’m a soy milk drinker, don’t think i’ll be swapping, but am curious…
Apparently, rice milk substitutes well for all other milks. I’ve used soy milk in coffee & chai before. Again, it overwhelms the taste of my drink and I don’t like that. Having said that, I’ve yet to try the rice milk with my morning chai. Will let you know tomorrow
Its been more than a month since I banned coffee during weekdays - only indulging during weekends. I used to get through a large mug of starbucks before lunch. Green tea now acts as a healthier replacement - I can drink green tea all day long…..
Ooh I tell you what IS good for the mornings, instead of Coffee! Ginsen, it doesn’t taste very nice but is bearable, and it is only a little bit to swallow, it’s healthy and great for the mind and to give you energy! Personally I’m still a big coffee drinker, but I do like herbal tea too, Cherry and fruit teas. Also, hot water is good to drink, I know it sounds silly but it is healthy and comforting.
@jaded: The chai with rice milk is okay but not fantastic. But again, I think I prefer rice milk to soy milk now…
@ Lisa. Ooh I never heard of that! Today I had Coffee, I feel so rough and so tired this morning, only had bout 3 and a half hours sleep! I am going back to bed in a couple of hours. hehe
