A dot

I was the center of attention inside the house. My housemates are teasing me because I have a zit! Well, it's just normal for me to have a zit every now and then (especially if it's about time for my monthly period), but this one is different. I have a zit in between my eyebrows. I actually find it cute though.

My zit looks like a Bindi(from Sanskrit bindu, meaning "a drop, small particle, dot") is a forehead) from afar.



I am not really too conscious about my face. But I remember an instance when I got a zit in my chin. It was there at the wrong time I guess, because I was to attend a reunion that day.

It was an Alumni Homecoming from my High School. I saw one of the faculty members from my Elementary School. I was surprised to know that we came from the same High School so I approached her. I introduced myself. She said she couldn't remember me and then I told her I was never really her student. And, then she said "Oh, yeah, I remember now. I recognized the mole on your chin!". I nodded and I just smiled.

I Commit to Change

A man who dares to waste one hour of life has not discovered the value of life.
Charles Darwin


Playing with your kids, hearing their stories, spending time talking with a dear friend, walking in the park, jogging, playing badminton, strolling, visiting a library or a bookstore to get a good book, chatting with a love one or an old friend, talking over the phone with my children, eating out. These are just some of the things that I do with my time and I valued them most.

What others may view as a waste of time could be the reasons for others to live a happy life.

I am supporting the I Commit to Change Movement in Facebook. And, I am committing my self to change the way I use my time. For the past weeks, I have noticed that I have not been using my time well and I know I have got to change. I am committing myself to value every second that I have been privileged to have.
