C.I.S. stands for..

Completed Initiatives Summarized. Boo yea.

Initiative#14:

Failed attempt to tell a stranger how cool he was at the airport. It was a massive fail. Like..Massive. Fail. And he was doing this! HOW COOL IS THAT? * bangs head on wall..

Initiative#15:

Wrote a really long email to a friend who has been blasting nasty rumors about another friend. I try to stand up for my friends as much as I can but I usually don’t partcipate in interfriend arguments.

Even just taking notice of them is not my thing because usually failed friendships are a result of complex misunderstandings and mishaps. Who am I to take sides and analyze who’s really at fault?

Nevertheless, I got a really nasty email back that grieved me to no end. Sigh. I might have lost her friendship but I stood up for someone I believed in. And that thought is belief-sustainable enough.

Initiative#16:

Leading in Blues Dance. I went for an introductory blues dance class by possibly the best Blues Dance instructors in the world and impulsively, instead of being the follower on the social floor, I decided to be the ‘leader’ instead.

Man..that was ffreaking empowering. I love being in charge; how and why did I ever doubt my leading abilities?

My two very hot instructors, Joe and Nelle. * Swoons….*

Initiative#17:

Finished one book on my booklist!

(and I went out and got another book. in addition to the other 7 on my list. errr, i think this initiative backfired..)

Initiative#18:

Went rockclimbing with my first Malaysian visitor! And attempted a 5.10a climb. I didn’t succeed in completing it but hey, just attempting it was a huge confidence booster

Initiative#19:

Meeting three very awesome bloggers in my field ( as in the field of fun, self development, and awesomeness ) and learning more swing dance aerials.

That’s two fears! I was pretty proud of myself that day.

I also think I need to dedicate a whole post to Colin, Andi, and Ash (she’s got some hot salsa moves this one). And try leading Colin in a blues dance/salsa. Wonder if he’s up for it…

Initiative#20:

Stepped on the scale. Urgh. Urgh. The numbers weren’t exactly pleasing nor were they particularly horror-inducing, thank god. I think I took like 20minutes just to make myself step on it; I’ve a long history of low self esteem corelated to my weight and dancing ability.

I think my next initiative would be actually posting my weight on this blog. Erm…ewww. Why would I want to do that??

Initiative Challenge = Boo yea. Hold me accountable folks.
