Olympics Withdrawal Cure




You just can't get enough of it.  You want it to just be there all the time and make it completely part of your system now. It's just so awesomely wonderful feeling, watching it and following it for two weeks straight you just stopped caring for every thing else you used to like doing just before the Olympics fever started.

Its the magic.  Its the unity of different nations.  Its the commitment to health, to physical fitness.  Its the self-discipline and adherence to rules.  Its the finding out of what one can prove when the best is given.

But now the Olympics is over.  

And now you don't know how to reconnect to the you-before-Olympics.  Worst, there's that feeling of refusing to reconnect.  You wish to stay still in that fifteen days of Olympics magic. 

You try to tune-in to tv shows you were fond of before, but you feel empty.  You try to get back to the work you've been busy with, two weeks  ago, but still there's emptiness.  Nothing seems to entertain you but Olympics-related stuff. It just suddenly becomes a bit difficult to be happier!

What you gonna freaking do with it???

I came up with my own cures that just might work for you too.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
THINGS TO DO TO CURE YOUR OLYMPICS WITHDRAWAL ISSUE


1.  Stop watching the re-runs.

 Its only gonna increase missing the Olympics.  Your subconscious will fight back, convincing you  that what you're watching isn't happening anymore.  Try to tune into regular games instead.


2.  Follow your favorite athletes on Twitter.

 Its gonna make you feel connected with them even if you don't get to watch them anymore in   the Olympics.  You get to know their insights better---which, as they move on, you get to move on as well.  With them.

But be forewarned: they are not and cannot be as chatty in the Twitterverse as normal peeps are!  Of course we don't want them to spend their precious time tweeting, would we!


3.  Bookmark those sports sites that can regularly update you and even let you watch it as it happens.

Check this out: (then get back to my site!)

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/   - news update, international

4.  Do something relevant to it.

     Work out is the best. Pick up those gears  and start shaping up again.  Trash the junk foods and start living healthy again.  This will make you feel united in spirit with the athletes of the Olympics.


5.  Get back to whatever you love to do before.  But this time, give it your heart and soul.

     Our favorite athletes train with their heart and soul.  Its what they love and they want to excel on it.  They work hard to excel on it.  If you do the same in your chosen field, no matter how different it is from the sports you love to watch, in spirit, you are living the same path they are in.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Getting into the Olympics fever was indeed a high.  The beauty, the suspense, the ecstasy watching  your team getting the gold, the breathlessness of seeing your favorite athletes get the silver or bronze instead, after seeing them play like they deserve the gold---EVERYTHING.

To sum it all, maybe the best cure would be:


 JUST LIVE THE SPIRIT OF THE OLYMPICS WITHIN YOU.


Until the next one. ",)

SEWA Application in Sharjah - Bachelor Tenants

Just this August, 2023, we moved to Muwailah Commercial, the New Muwailah. Coming from Old Muwailah with monthly rental tenancy, the application for SEWA for an annual tenancy is new for us. The office of our new place required us to process SEWA on our own. That means connection for water, electricity, and gas are all our part. From the office instructions, everything seemed to be very easy. And so I thought. Until I started the legwork! One thing was common from all the departments I was asked to go to: all their answers to my questions varied from person to person! They differ in their responses! Just when the officer you are talking to tells you that you only need this and that paper to present to the next department, you’d be surprised that the next department will ask something else instead! So. Tons of patience, so I thought. But for all of you who landed on my page and are really in need of some guidance, well, here’s your lucky day! Am not gonna let you experience what I...

Take Away My Freedom

TAKE AWAY MY FREEDOM (by Lea Maria) Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to turn my back on You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to hurt and be indifferent. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom not to love as You have loved me. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to live just for myself. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to be deaf and blind to the needy. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to waste the time that is meant for You. Take away my freedom, O Lord, the freedom to ignore You when I know I heard Your call. I don't need these freedom, I don't want these freedom. Take away instead my life if my existence will be filled by these. For I only want to serve You and love You and glorify You. All the days of my life, O Lord, I belong to You.

I Almost Left the Catholic Church

The Holy Spirit stopped me.  Since last year, time after time, I read news about our highest shepherd doing things that are against my core belief, things that I felt are being twisted, being made sound complicated to understand yet only to lead to wrong things.  Such is blessing relationships in sin...how can a sin be blessed, I asked myself. It is just wrong and I will not accept this. Needless to say, I am scandalized. I had to contemplate. This month, God led me to Armenia.  I saw the Armenians preserved their faith, and Christian practices in the Church. I have witnessed how sacred they still keep the traditions. I wanted to become part of that. I had to contemplate more. I asked the Lord to help me make the right decision that night when I came home from Armenia. In my heart, I will start looking for the church here in my community, the Orthodox Christian church. Sabbath day came. I attended my Sunday Mass. I thanked God for having brought me to Armenia and learned...
