<br />
A bit late...but if I'm gonna start blogging again I should gracefully transition into 2012 with first giving my bows and applauses to _2011_<br />
<br />
<br />
I love asking people to sum up their emotions of how the past year has been for them, overall. A year is another snapshot of our lives, some people described their picture to be very bright, with life changing events... giving birth to a child, pursing a passion, finding a soulmate; while others had some dark shadows, heartaches, and loss... searching for the light at the end of the tunnel. Yet for most, it's best described as a roller coaster, hitting all types of extremes.<br />
<br />
If I had my year painted in a picture....<br />
it would be of me climbing through a thick brick wall, hitting few thorns, scrapping my knee more than once but eventually finding my ladder, moving up and ultimately finding myself :) If that could all be depicted in a single picture, it would be mine.<br />
<br />
2011 has been a year of growth, yet another blessing in my life. Looking back, I would not change a single piece of my puzzle.... For every moment, every feeling has been authentic.... Though more than ever, I was ready to let it go :)) <br />
How would you paint your picture?<br />
<br />
<br />
Sweet Memories of 2011<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yes, I have been slacking once again, getting caught in the midst of my daily routine, and forgetting to devout little time for my blogging exposee.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Yet, thankfully, blogging is the only thing I've put on hold. Regardless of my dreadful schedule, I still manage to find time to meet with friends, go out, read books, watch movies, and laugh. :)</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Bonjour Tristesse" by Francoise Sagan.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I've always been a fan of French films, novels, and romance. Sadness has a certain beauty that happiness just cannot portray. This theme is repeated in most French art...whether it's music, film, or paintings. I boldly admit, I'm compelled to find pleasure in such sufferings. I believe a person is most inspired and brilliant when in sadness or depression, the best works of art are driven by some sort of tragedy... This forces us, the audience, to be more compassionate and relate to others' pain.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Most of you probably heard of the French iconic writer, Francoise Segan... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This past week, I did one of the most notorious mistakes...watched the movie instead of reading the book. Thanks to <u>vkontakte.ru</u> I watched this 1995 French film in the comfort of my bed, with my laptop, and without having to read the subtitles (was translated to Russian). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The movie was fantastic, leaving you with that emptiness and need to reevaluate people's true character....exactly what I wanted. This is not the typical sobbing, tear-dropping sadness, but the kind that bluntly switches optimism to realism. Life doesn't have a "happy ending," it just simply goes on...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Since I was sure I'd like the book even more than the movie, I spent my Sunday reading it...I was right, indeed. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I'm sure all of you have an access to google and can easily read the synopsis yourself... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I will though leave you with my favorite quote...</span><br />
<br />

He explained that they were arbitrary and sterile. From anyone else such views would have shocked me, but I knew that in his case they did not exclude either tenderness or devotion; feelings which came all the more easily to him since he was determined that they should be transient. This conception of rapid, violent and passing love affairs appealed to my imagination. I was not at the age when fidelity is attractive. I knew very little about love.” </em></span><br />

Unfortunately, style and appearance, isn't a priority for majority of Americans. Looking inappropriately grungy, messy, and ungroomed, is generally accepted. Don't mistake me for being superficial, I'm genuinely not...though, carelessness to look presentable is one of my pet-peeves.... I'll still be nice to you :)</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

However, "less is more" has been taken out of context and is comprehended as "roll out of bed and throw anything on..." It is possible to be comfortable, put-together, and fashionable all at once. Leave your baggy sweats and gym shoes...for the gym, there are other alternatives.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I don't mean to be a preacher, but the best way to deal with tribulations and obstacles, is lightheartedness and joyful sense of humor...regardless of your situation and circumstances. </span><br />

<br />
As am I getting older (and wiser) I'm starting to fall in love with the sound of my own voice in a moderate tone and <b>hearing</b> a response. Therefore, I now prefer to go out to places where I'm not obligated to shout or get too close for comfort in order to understand what one's verbalizing.... oh and when I don't have to text my girl friends (who are near me), "it's time to go."<br />
<br />
Couple weekends ago, I had very close friends visiting from NYC...to take them out I was on hunt for a place with a loungy atmosphere, not too loud, nice ambiance, and a Chicago feel. <br />
<br />
I successfully chose <i>Terrace at the Trump. </i><br />
<i><br />
</i><br />
Located on the 16th floor of the Trump Hotel and Tower, facing the best view of the city.<br />
Surprisingly, I've never been there before and my only expectation was to catch a great view. Fortunately, it was all of the above...very classy, cozy, wasn't too loud, and the crowd was decent.<br />
<br />
As far as food, I've dined at <i>Sixteen</i> before and wasn't impressed. We ordered oysters and maki rolls that aren't worth mentioning. I'd advise to gormandize elsewhere before, this is a perfect after spot.<br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to get there in time for the firework show... the night was spent with laughing, catching up, engaging in great conversations, and enjoying one of the last summer nights in this beautiful city. <br />
<br />
<br />
Since Chicago doesn't believe in transitioning seasons, this upcoming weekend will probably be the last time we can enjoy outdoors without being blown away. <i>Terrace at the Trump</i> is a great venue to take advantage of it ))<br />

</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">To those with a poor eye sight and contact wearers, this one is for you. Put your carrots and fish oil down, here is something that actually works.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vision has never been one of my forte senses. In fact, it's my worst... without contacts I could easily consider it to be useless. It's to the point where I cannot see my own reflection or detect someone who's only an arms length away from me. Everything is a complete blur. Thankfully, with contacts I get to visually experience the world without having to wear glasses all the time.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, there isn't anyone who misuses and abuses them as much as I do. I sleep with them on every night and only take them off when I'm ready to rip apart my eye socket. Ironically, I work at an optical... with an eye doctor... and studying to be an optometrist. (bow my head in shame)</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Long story short, I recently had an eye exam and was expecting the same verdict as the times before...corneal ulcer, scaring, and undoubtedly, decline in vision.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">YET, to my shock, surprise, and God sent miracle, my vision for the first time...since ever, has improved ( -8.00 to -6.50), I thought I was falsely examined 'til I actually wore my new Rx and noticed a big difference in clarity.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Despite of my use and abuse, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Acuvue Oasys Hydroclear Lenses, </span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">deflated my cornea which essentially is the reason why my vision got better, since these contacts allow more oxygen than any other brand in the market. (then again, it could be the ginger ;)). </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So dear fellow bats, contact your doctor and switch to Oasys...if it has worked for me (with all my wrong doings), I can assure it'll work for any set of eyes.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">P.S. I'm lucky to work with the best doctors (O.D.) in the city, contact me if you'd like to get examined at one of the two locations I work at :)</span><br />

Yet, thanks to my recent trend of blogging, I now have a chance to expose my newest revelation with the rest of you, dear readers.</span><br />
<div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In one simple and highly underrated ingredient, I have found the formula to the healthier and more beautiful YOU. The Asians have been taking advantage of this incredible rhizome for centuries, using it as traditional medicine and as an essential flavor to almost all of their recipes. Now it's time for the rest of us to come aboard. </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ginger</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With my constant change of temperature, lack of sleep, hectic schedule, and fasting...this powerful root ginger has been keeping me on my feet when my immune system typically would be at its worst. I add fresh slices of ginger in my green tea and drink it at least twice a day. If you are trying to lose weight, its best to mix it with garlic vinegar and water, consume it right before each meal. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's no secret that I religiously adore, admire, and look up to Oprah Winfrey. She is the most influential female figure of our time and I'll go as far as saying she is the modern Mother Theresa. I, along with the rest of the world (maybe the rest of the women in the world, to be more precise) was devastated with the announce of the last season. Tears were rolling throughout the final shows and I'm still in disbelief that I will never make it to Harper Studios and be part of the audience.... witnessing her obnoxious excitement, shouts of winning a car or going to Australia... </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Approximately 3 years ago, </span><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">O</span></b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> introduced Eckhart Tolle's "A New Earth" to her book club. Not only that, she provided an international online class with the author, tracing each chapter in depth and a promise to change people's perspective on life. I was hyped up, bought the book....yet never logged on, read few pages, and was bored out my mind... so I l allowed it to collect dust for the next 3 years...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">3 years later, as I'm preparing myself for a 13 hour flight and a passive vacation, I bring along couple books that I never got around to... "A New Earth" being one of them. In time where I'm battling with myself and my mind was full of unanswered questions, I knew it was best for me to dive into a book rather than over think and over analyze for the next 13 hours. Since Prince Charming himself wasn't sitting next to me, I opened the book and gave it one more try.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">"Awakening to your Life's Purpose"</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This isn't the type of a book that you get lost into, it isn't fiction and I wouldn't categorize it as "self help" neither. It is literally an awakening, an enlightenment, and a light bulb flashing brightly in your head....yet only if you are emotionally ready for it. </span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Consciousness is letting go of your ego, being completely at a present state, and most importantly understanding and forgiving others. It's the toughest state of mind to be in and yet the most rewarding and the most authentic. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found myself reading certain paragraphs over and over again with a smirk on my face and slight giggles. Tolle forced me to face my ego and wake up from a false dream. I couldn't have started reading this at a better time. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
</span> <br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">However, </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I am a walking paradox and can't always practice what I preach. The more I glance back, the more I freeze and put things into a right perspective.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I will be referring to it quite often, for it's principals have really left an impression. </span></span><br />

Liberal Arts to Medicine, going from romantic interpretations to strict formulas, laws, observations, data, reactions, etc. I missed expressing my opinion and leaving the door open for a variety of perceptions. </span></span></div><div style="font: 12.0px Helvetica; margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; min-height: 14.0px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br />
