10 Random Truths I Believe In

1. Random acts of kindness - Be kind, especially to people who deserve it. It does not take a lot to do good or help others. Sometimes even a smile or a word of thanks could mean a lot to the harried waitress who's had a long day with thankless, demanding customers.

2. The power of the high heels - For all the discomfort that usually outweighs the comfort, there's no denying that a pair of heels can actually boost one's confidence, moxie and sex appeal. It's the only thing now that is not prejudiced against my weight. I can still wear the same pair I bought six years ago when I was 10-15 pounds lighter than I am now, and actually look slimmer.

3. A good book is the best travel companion - During long commutes or long flights, there's no better way to kill time ( or worth one's while) than to read a good book.

4. The value of thrift - It's in the little things. No leftovers after each meal. Giving away instead of throwing the old sheets. Not keeping the tap running while brushing.

5. Respect and kindness towards the elderly - Someday when we grow old like them, we will be more than thankful when someone gives up his bus seat for us, or patiently repeats himself when we dont get it the first time.

6. A good massage - Nothing works better in taking away stress, and calming both the mind and soul. It's affordable royal pampering.

7. Counting the little blessings - Because it's the perfect way to realize how the little lows in life don't amount to the million other highs.

8. The little black dress - It's timeless, safe and forever stylish. You can never go wrong with it.

9. Constant laughter in one's life - Clichéd as it may sound, life is truly too short to spend it in anger, unhappiness, and all other negative thoughts.

10. Sh*t always happens when you're in a hurry - And there's no better way to deal with it than to just deal with it.
