Betting & Riding    Someone once told me "the best things in life are for free", my mind & heart couldn't help but flash an image of a crocodile birkin before my eyes instantly. As much as I'd like to think that the best things in life are for free, sadly, that just isn't reasonable. However, it is reasonable to say that happiness doesn't have a price tag. That is a theory, & I'll tell you how practice proved it: 1) Betting on Bubbles I love blowing bubbles in the air. More so though, I love betting on them. Which bubble lives longest, & which one travels farthest. And although this sport may appeal to those with plenty of time to spare, I must say that it is also a great stress-release technique. So, instead of engaging in battles of the mind over which strategy to adopt for 'X' project, what barriers of entry do you foresee for 'Y' company, or whether or not the steering committee would approve of your initiatives, .. instead of all that you get to focus on one thing, just one: Will my bubble live long enough to cross the street? I took this to test the other day, & surprisingly, the sport had fans & cheers who -I'm sure- wished they had bubble wands of their own to blow circles of happiness in the air & send them off to circulate & spread cheers. Bubbles make me smile, and at times laugh, even when I'm alone. Cost: AED. 12.00 2) Mont Sur Le Cheval Sans Selle Riding bareback is my newly developed infatuation. I love it! I love it! I love it! -- Something about it feels so natural, & as marginally impractical as this may sound, it feels soooo Godiva-cross-movie-glam like Haha.. okay, maybe not exactly, but that's how it looked in my mind lol. Mind you, the "I love to ride bareback" was not by any means the first feeling I got as I attempted to balance myself on the spine surface below me.. at the beginning, it felt like a slippery pad of gel, I didn't know how to secure myself on a walk, let alone a trot or even a canter! After several minutes of near-nervous-breakdown experiences I realized that fear will only make me more tense, & tight.. So I thought to myself "If the boy wants me off, off I'll be.. with or without a saddle! What's the worst that could happen? fall? I've tried it before =D " I swallowed the bullet & pretended I was this invincible Übermensch, ..& before I knew it, I was trotting & cantering sur le cheval sans selle for an hour and a half.It was the highlight of my day. Cost: AED. 0.00 So, yes, perhaps it's true that my bubble wand & my pony's sweaty skin didn't bring my crocodile birkin any nearer, but, I'm happy. I was able to experience a rare kind of happiness invisible to the senses of many. The happiness kind of happiness only found in the small, little pleasures of life.
