Commitment Issues     an addiction to jasmine green tea in the afternoons <3    macaroons & tarts <3  Outfit du jour  My very own first pair of spurs, before the makeover  after the makeover ;p  Finallyyyyy got my SRS gloves, which are bulkier than what I'm used to, but I love them nonetheless!  Opening up the saddle box <3  SRS gorgeous 110cm whip <3  ta-daaaaaaaaaaa  jumping girth, bridles, & breastplates <3  ..in both black & tan  Oiling my brand new saddle <3 <3 <3  handy saddle hanger..  I.B. getting curious with the new 'object' -- he's SO cute! sooooo cute! before we put the saddle on, he would lean forward & remove the saddle hanger from the hook, ..& everytime I'd put it back on he would play with me by removing it & waiting for me to hang it again. Do I love him for that? YES! GOD YES! My heart experiences a near-outburst feeling every single time I talk about him, or squeeeeeze his neck with my hugs <3  Ouch ;(  his meds ;*(  Pour le artri  For the blood, an iron/power liquid + multi vitamins  electrolytes with vitamin C + clay for the tendons "I've never met anyone with a will so strong like yours, ..I didn't think that kind of wanting something existed - no, not this much"Although I probably shouldn't admit it, but it pleases me -so much- to hear my trainer say that. Day in-day out I learn more things about myself as an equestrian that I didn't know before. In my books, the subject of my liking -be it an object, or a subject- casts a sense of commitment that makes me do the things I do, willingly and wholeheartedly. I never perceived commitments as Optional, it's simple: If you like it, if you really like it, do it the best way you can, & learn along the way. I do the things I do, and the way I do them because I genuinely enjoy doing so, & never questioned nor attempted to estimate the how much do I want those things, that is not important; what's important is the way you feel in the process. I find SO much pleasure in attending to my horses, showering them, brushing their coat, braiding the mane & even more: shopping for them -and even though I probably shouldn't confess this to myself much too less the world out there, but the truth is: I enjoyyyyy doing these things to I.B. more than any other pony. He's just very special to me that way, & I think much like the grooms at the stable; my trainer knows it too: That was the perfect example of a delightful commitment, but what about the things we don't like? Oh don't fret, I've had my share of unpleasant commitments too, but sticking by your ethical contract pays off in the end. Pursuing my higher education and keeping a demanding job at the same time is an example. I cannot begin to list the number of times I found myself in a stinky little pot of stress that drove me mad with frustration, the thought of dropping out was always the easier way out, but that too was simply not.an.option. Instead, the commitment-mindset was activated involuntarily, perhaps because I knew how it would please daddy, or perhaps it's a higher level of self-actualization that I was after -I don't really know- all I know is: This is what I want. This is what I'll get. Period. Being awarded the Shk. Rashid Award was swell, but I'm done. I have no will for more academic accomplishments; right now, I have a beautiful life to live, real life, & I intend to make it every bit colorful =D The colorful aspect rubbed off on my shopping - had we been in a cooler part of the world, I would've said "it's summer! Yay!" but, ..even though it's near-burning-hell hot here, it's really summer, & bright colors feel more appropriate <3 So, my friend & I spent the day shopping & searching for the perrrrrrrrfect pair of purple superrrrrr skinnies. On our first round, I found a pair of indigo Antik skinnies! GORGEOUS if you ask, after trying them on in the dressing room, there was no way I'd take them off for anything {had I been broke? I would've pulled off a Winona lol} I walked out of the dressing room & went straight to the cashiers asking them to de-magnet those jeans because I was NOT going to part with them, I just simply loved them waaaaaay too much to carry them around.. & much to my pleasure, the salespeople were uber cute & helpful that way <3 ..and Ohhhhhhh my Goddddd! just two hours after that: SPOTTED! A perrrrfect shade of purple - skinnies - 1 piece left - size 27 - WHAT ARE THE CHANCES? I found myself leaning forth on the table at Forever-21 huggggging a pair of purple skinnies and stoooooormed into the fitting room to try them on, PERFECT FIT! I was so excited hugging my friend {it was her idea to check Forever-21 in the first place} & of course, I was NOT going to take that pair off. I walked out of the fitting room after explaining 60 times to the fitting-room lady why I walked in with 5 articles of clothing, and now i'm walking out with 4 -- I couldn't care less about anything at that very moment, I had just found the perfect pair, in the perfect shade of purple I've been craving for the past 4 months.. I bagged my AED.136 bargain and left. That purchase made me feel slightly better about the lack of riding last week, both I.B. and I were not able to train due to foot/leg injuries {yes, both of us, ..the same time, cute or what?} -- my trainer put the two of us off of training, & on Friday the two of us went supplement-shopping for I.B. & Sultan and packed a bunch of things that ought to compensate I.B. for all the extra hard work he's been doing.. and in the meantime, I.B. gets lots of lovie dovie hugs, & I get lots of reflexology massages {good for the foot} & shopping {good for the heart} -- don't you agree? ;p Labels: Fashion, La Dolce Vita, Life Events, Photo speech, Pony Tales $20 in my moola box | link | email this post |
