Heavenly weekend

I learnt that Auntie's situation is somewhat controlled with the tenant and there's been some kind of equilibrium reached. His bullying found its limits with the solidarity of women friends as well. I'm forever grateful and admire the courage and strength of auntie.

Friday evening: unbelievable Karaoke session - with so much gusto, variety and talent. It was so satisfying.

Saturday evening: unbelievable Jazz ballet performance at the parc. The music, choreography and the surrounding scenary all were just amazing. The fountain changed the color once in a while and it was just the perfect summer night performance, sexy, romantic, humourous and original. The mango, strawberry, pineable hot pepper ice cream was just wonderful. But I realize I miss Adam and two other friends who moved away. I wonder if that's why the area of my heart chakra hurts.

Sunday: went for amazing brunch and went for a walk on Mt St. Bruno. We got to meet a turtle size of a mid-size frying pan. It was a surprise. Apprently it is a good omen. I also found a 4 leaved clover - I started to think I was losing touch.

So far, this has been an excellent weekend.

Sequal to Super Auntie

The tenant from hell was planning to make a few bucks by building some pic-nic sites (mostly for drinking and fighting rather) with another shady charactor. Wednesday with Policemen insisting all neibours to watch the sites were taken down.

Stories from Korea are sometimes more unreal than dramas on TV. I guess I should be grateful that the war did not happen in Korea at least.

Do I have the power to make something happen or am I just an observer and a coward? I feel like a fake sometimes. But where is the court?

Super Auntie

As the violent neibour of my aunt in Korea has been acting up lately, I had a couple of sleepless nights. He is such a bully he instills fear in all the people in the neibourhood and even the officials stand by and let him get away with breaking laws and threatening the people in the neibourhood.

I think Auntie is fed up with everyones, complete cowardice behavior and hiding behind their fears, so she wrote the request to the minister's website. So all of the misbehavior of everyone is in public domain without naming names. I feel so amazed at her courage and of course, their response was immediate. Officials called and visited all day. I do fear for her safety but then again the bully does what he feels like doing anyways and it won't help to let him get away forever bullying.

I pray that Archangel Michael protects her with iron armours and other angels 24/7.

I'm blessed to have friends who are so fun to be with and have generous, loving sprits. I found out again at the Birthday parties of my 2 sisters.

Encouraged

I have been encouraged lately. One of the reason was that I got a call from this technology place asking for a phone interview. It looks like they want the 2nd interview but that needs to be confirmed next week. Interview fairy -the one who trained me for hours - did a wonderful job. Also when I share even about my insecurities and even "failures" people seem to light up.

One woman yesterday told me that "Never underestimate you or your words", with teary eyes. Someone else said one of my quality was "cheerful personality". I felt lighter.

I found out HSP Dahn yoga has the reputation for being "Landmark for the body". I am not surprised. I feel rejuvenated these days. So, I'm expecting wonderful miracles to come my way.

Reflections and messages

I have been discouraged lately. It felt like I was kicked in the stomach a couple of times. I went to do my first theory course for driving and It wasn't bad. I got a call from JC and met him at a park. As I mentioned that I have a phone interview he started to prepare me in almost millitaristic fashion. I started to feel better as he got on with the logical explanation of what qualities I have and how they are valuable.

So, I'm ready for the interview and I felt relieved. In the evening I was thinking about the MC foundation project. I really did not have any handle on how I could go about finding the billionaire or the mega fundraiser. I felt suppressed. Then I remembered the presentation of John Hatch about getting 2.2 M people to give $1 a day. Then I felt lit up. It also made sense to me to get a project where an average person could participate and enroll others to make a huge difference. So I felt so much relief and thought I could stand for being part of that project.

I know that I can own and enroll others in that conversation.
So I feel light.

I had spoken with Ileana and Aunt - seems to feel much lighter today. What a lucky person I am.

Dream and injury

During the conference about a week ago, I had this dream that someone brought a puppy to me. I was concerned that this was going to be very distracting running around and barking. But when the puppy was put on the floor, it just spread its 4 legs and would not move. I felt bad for it and picked it up but was very weak.

On my way home by bus from Ottawa, I stood up to retrieve something from the over-head compartment and I heard this loud click around one of my knees and I was forced to sit down. I was in shock and was not sure if my left knee would support my weight. I managed to get out and massaged my knee and was able to walk home with my back pack but it just wasn't feeling right.

I went to HSP center to do some long overdue excercise and Crystal gave healing on my knee. After about an hour I could feel that it's about 60% back to how it was before. I could not move my foot left and right without feeling eerie discomfort but now I could. I still have problem bending all the way.

But the information from the injury is like - someone just knocked my knee - like one of the gangsters to collect the money owed.

I spoke with aunt in Korea. She tells me that students are not allowed to give salute to Korean flag anymore. It felt like being knocked off my knee as well. She's having trouble with the carpenter again. She doesn't need things but she says she needs me. I'm mentally preparing for that eventuality.

But it was so nice to come home to loving friends and mom.

There seems to be a definite water change happening - my originating circle and the future conversation.

Results conference

I was at the Results conference for the last week. It was fabulous in many ways and exhausting. There was a point I could not handle one more word coming out of somebody's mouth. It is work to listen to people.

I like the fact that there will be emphasis and funding for expansion. I like the new Model for fundraising - although it sounds tad manipulative. But Oklahoma group went from 12-15K to 50k and they are experimenting with Seattle, Denver and Houston.

I would very much like to be in that experiment.

Jim Kim was fabulous speaker and so was Barbara - the executive director. It is amazing to see so many staff.

North Korea and Enron guy

The major news items yesterday evening and today are the North Korea's missile testing and Ken Lay (Former Enron CEO) dying of heart attack.

The current South Korean government that's been acting pretty much like a pump that sucked the wealth out of South Korea to pour it down Kim's pocket is now losing ground everywhere. The physical attack for the potential opposition leader was a last cry, which of course, acted against its interest.

So Kim will, within a year, lose the abundant supply of wealth and I guess he wanted more from US, since it has more money. This is such a young, bratty spoiled behavior and South Korean leaders made it much worse by giving it what it asked for and more in the last few years.

Ken - I always wondered how he was able to keep the smile, smurk, arrogant confidence even with hand-cuffs on - like who are these monkeys who don't recognize his importance. I guess he finally realized he will go to jail, no matter whose shoulders he's been rubbing with in the past. So died at 64 years old. Reminds me of Tolstoy's "What men live by". Men don't know what they need.

More home improvement

Since I moved in to this appartment 5 years ago, I had a long bed sheet hanging on this bottom window. I finally took that down and covered it with papers with leaves motif. It looks so much nicer. I feel complete. I still want to paint and put in that last light fixture but I don't know when I will.

This paper has that Korean paper sliding door look and I feel cozy and it looks clean.

Yesterday, I ran into this couple who in my book has the most perfect relationship. The husband saw me first and almost did not recognize me. He said I looked great. The wife and I talked about the "foundation project. Then I was shoe shopping (got cute green shoes) and had some Italian Ice cream with a good friend. The weather was just so perfect. Happiness can be so simple.

Victory - health front

HSP yoga is paying off. I lost 3 lbs. Just from doing the intestine exercise. I did not expect it. Along with a sense of cleansing myself I feel more confident because I now have tools to make myself better anywhere, and I don't need to depend on pills or some other mysterious mixture.

Someone is tempting me to go to Korea or Dubai. I'm intrigued and wonder about it.

I also heard the rumour that Gates are planning to invest in Micro Finance.

My psychic told me that I'm looking for 3 in one deal - money, career and relationship. It's suppose to come together in the cookie cutter way - in very clear shape and size.

Two dreams:
Kind of a warning: The guy will behave with me exactly as he has been doing with his other girlfriends.

I'm in NY and looking for old friend. She seems to be alone with the child - her husband seems absent.
