I Like to be a "Teflon"

I am not talking about the cooking utensils , or else I will blog it in my Cooking blog.

I just read about it in a magazine that:

The key to happiness is to have a Teflon soul...whatever comes to you, you either let it slides or you cook with it...

And this sentence strucked me , and I realized we must be a " Teflon" too....
So I decided to share a bit of the Teflon side of my life

When I just started my online store, a few bad competitions scenarios did happen to me. Some people blogged about it, talked about it.. I just didn't want to make it worst by blogging back ( and I am GLAD that I did not, I rather wait and see until it will be cool off) Else I will look like a complaining old grandma. So YES... I let it SLIDE off me....
It can be a mistake, or misunderstanding but I never will make that thing ruin my day .

So with other not so nice things happened to us. Be it a ridiculous jealousy from others, rude comments or handling a cheap gossip , let it SLIDE ....SLIDE.... SLIDE...

And the most of all....I forget and forgive. Life is too short for hatred.

When I moved to a new country, new city, new place, new culture, new home, new people....
I will COOK with what I have on hands.....
You can't make all the things work for you then you make YOURSELF work for it!

When I moved to a country that I didn't speak or understand or write or read the language , I know that I must solved this out....as soon as I could! Blaming others for not speaking your language won't help much, so did complaining. I was in THEIR Country anyway...So I ended up studying in Shanghai .

Same with being married to a man from a different country. I know that I will be in touch a lot with his family. Because his family is a very close one. So I need to learn his language too.

I took morning full time class for Mandarin and afternoon private tutoring for Italian. During my pregnancy . I must took 3 buses and a taxi ride to reach the Italian tutor house. Happened in winter ( freezing damn cold of minus 5!)until my 8th month of pregnancy. I was like a walking snowman by that time with the hat, jacket , gloves and scarf...I just didn't have the carrot nose !
My dh asked me to quit when I reached the 9th months, as the place is about 15-20 km from where we lived. And the road is slippery on winter days. And he said if I fell I might can't stand up by my self because I was as big as a ship! LOL

When I moved to where we are living now we also needed some cultural adjustment. The city is much more quieter and smaller than all the other cities that we've been to. People seems to know each other. That's funny still for us. Because when conversation go.. most of the times it will be like : oh ya, he is my cousin, oh ya I know him, he used to be my boss, oh I live near where your friend lives .......

As for public transports , it is hard to get it here. Hard for me to find school bus for my dd, hard for me to go around. But I COOKED IT! I met a great lady offering to take Indy to school everyday. I got a couples of "boy friends" to bring me around the city when dh is not available( wait....don't start the gossip here.... the boy friends are taxi drivers!!! hahaha.... I got their phone numbers and just need to dial them and they will be in my front door!!)


When the shopping option are limited here, I opted for online shopping and love it and ended up by opening my own online store.

And learning to write and put my feeling and opinions in my blog.

So for those of you who are having a rougher time than normally. You got the option in your hand...
SLIDE it off or COOK it !

I wish I could know what I will be "SLIDING" or "COOKING" next......

So , what is your "TEFLON" moment?

I don't have the intention to showing off my life experiences, but we need to look at others life sometimes and take something out of it to learn . I am still learning everyday, humiliating my self endlessly , fall and stand up again, making mistakes, and I still like to learn about values of life through other people too.
