Happy birthday Vellvin! : And Sisterhood.

 Today is a special day in my family. We are celebrating my li'l Si's 13th birthday. And it made me think Gosh, I remember the day she was born!  Man I am old"  Nah, not really old. :D   I hope I don't look old!  
I remember the day Vellvin was born. I was 5 and  I remember my grandmother was there with us and we went to the hospital to see her. And she was pretty, I don't remember holding her but I know I did. I sorta remember looking at her little fingers and toes.  I remember being so happy to have another little sister.  
              I remember after we had visited Mummy and Vellvin we got ice creams.  Not just ordinary ice creams special ones.  And I remember I saved mine in the freezer.   That's how special that was.
          I remember some months later when Vellvin was about 6 months old, Mummy asked me if I wanted to hold Vellvin and have a cuddle with her. I know I'd held Vellvin before  but I remember this one because Mummy took a photo of me and Vellvin. And I remember feeling so grown up.  I also love that photo of Vellvin and me.
                        I remember on my 13th birthday when Vellvin was 8  how much she enjoyed my birthday it was pirate themed and she was dressed up as a little pirate and I remember I was talking on the phone to someone  who was wishing me happy  birthday  and all my siblings came and told me to get off the phone so we could have cake and Vellvin was grabbing my legs and hugging me.   
                           I'm always surprised to read about sisters who are 5 years apart and they don't do anything together.   Vellvin and I are more than just sisters, we're best mates, we enjoy the same things.  She understands me and I understand her . I'd fight anyone who threatened to harm her.   We're soul sisters.       
                      Whats even better is that there  is not just  Vellvin and I , I have my first little sister Eden.  Shes 16 years old  and  shes gorgeous in many ways. Shes sweet  and has a very large sweet tooth. :D                                            All of us three girls, are sisters but we're bound to each other with more than just common blood. We're soul sisters.   And you know whats cool about us being a threesome?  Most movies of sisters have three sister.  :)    I look and Vellvin, Eden also love our   3 little sisters  very much.  I think how much fun there having now and how much more fun they're going to have when they're older.      Vellvin, I love you babe! Happy 13th Birthday!         

  If you have a sister tell her you love her do some things with her.  Because we don't know what tomorrow may bring we only have today.

Eternally Refreshing.

Isn't this awesome and cool? I thought it was. :D

 How often do we rely on material things to help us through life, to enjoy life?   In today's society we are told if we had this , this and this, and always did this. We'll be happy, we'll be refreshed.    And you know that's wrong.  Without Jesus we'd have nothing. We'd be nothing. We wouldn't BE at all.   I know Jesus is my Saviour, I know when things seem dark and I feel like I can't do this. That He will help me through.   He loves me and He loves you too.      Jesus Christ, is all that matters in life.  He is our living water. Don't forget that.

True Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder? If Only It Always Was.

Whats the first thing you saw when you saw the above picture?      For me it was the magazine in the little girls lap.  Second that the girl was staring at herself in the mirror as if she was disappointed with what she saw and third that  she looks about 11-13 years of age. So young.

   How many magazines out there are left right in front of little children to see and think   "Gosh, that's how I should look when I'm older!"
They are left with the impression that they will look exactly like this or that. And you know what for me that's one of the worst things a little kid can think.  Each child, each person young or old is beautiful. Is unique is beautiful.                                         And looking at this picture makes me want to take that little girl in my arms and tell her that shes gorgeous, shes beautiful and that I want to her to always try to be herself and not think off what the media or critical, hurtful; people say to her. She is beautiful, but she doesn't see that. She sees that her lips aren't so, her eyes aren't such and such and that her face is shaped wrong etcetra, etcetra and the list goes on and what is she left feeling? That she beautiful? That she is  lovely? No! She is left feeling disappointed, self conscious and ugly.  
           In our modern society the above reaction to comparing oneself to a picture from a magazine is all to common.   Children are being taught and told to wear and do things at much younger ages. Girls ( and boys to )  wearing clothing that make them look like teenagers and they behave exactly as they think teenagers should.  What age am I talking about? Oh, if we're being generous I'd like to say eight but lets say the instruction starts when they are 5.  Horrible I know. 
                             When I was 8 I only cared about finishing my school as soon as possible so as to play outside on the trampoline or ride my bike or play Pirates or Indians. Or read a book.      Yet, how may kids do those things now days? Not many lots spend their lives in front of a screen. A screen which projects them with false senses to many things not just their looks, how to act in certain situations. Which lets face it on most screen things movies/TV shows/ computer games etc  gives a wrong take or view on most things.  
                                           In short I want (and wish) the magazines in shops were children are going to be where behind the counter away from their innocent eyes.  Which is how it should be, such things which are mostly filled with evil or unloving thoughts about people should be behind the counter with the cigarettes.             Children are only children for so long and then they spend the rest of their lives as adults. I'm going to do my best to try to make the world more child friendly. How about you?

I really want to give that poor little girl a hug, snatch that magazine away from her and tell her she beautiful . That poor little kid. :(

Auditions and joy.

 First off I want to say thank you to all the comments I got on my last post: THANK YOU!!!!!

I will be auditioning for the musical "Bad Girls" its a story of a women's prison, and well all the "Bad Girls" who are in it.  Here's a link from Wikipedia on it.  I have to find a song to sing and choose which parts to audition for and try to understand the characters a bit better.  A dear friend who has been involved in this kind of stuff before has offered to give me a training session on Skype. :D  I am very excited and even if I don't get a part its a good experience and its also fun!          I know theres going to be a lot of competition, its a musical about "Bad Girls" so I 'm betting there will be TONS of other girls auditioning, you know what I don't care.   I'm just gonna do my best and enjoy the adventure and just see where it goes. It may end after the audition or it could go on longer.   Either way, I'm going to be happy and enjoy it.     

A poster of said musical

Could all you charming people please pray for me that it all goes well?   Thank you I love you all, and I really mean that. When I say I love you it means I DO love you.


 Look for a post on My Deb. Ball very soon.  :D

Post # 200

So, this is my 200th post .   And these are a couple of things I'm mulling over  and working on currently.
THINGS I'M WORKING ON
Whether to audition for a part in a local musical or not. I've never done anything like this before and I think it would at the least be a good learning experience.

Finish vamping up my resume soon, like tonight.

Keep up with my fitness program. I'm beginning to see even more results.

Order a new book I want .

Work on some blog post ideas.


I'm trying to figure out a lot of stuff in my life and am finding it a bit challenging.

STUFF I'M THINKIN' 'BOUT.

Why don't I get more comments on my blog?  I'm not really complaining , but I'm curious . I personally find nearly always something to comment about on all the blogs I follow, and I just can't work out why I don't get many. Are people bored with my blog? What do they like to read about here? Should I just stop blogging for a while?   Do people not like my blog?     Just wondering.

Why do some people have to go through sooooo much difficult hard to understand stuff and other people nothing like that at all?

I'm thinking up a couple of new story lines .





Anyhoo  that's pretty much it .   Stuff   I'm thinking and working on and trying to understand.
Maybe tonight I'll watch something I love and drink something sweet and comfortable and just relax and forget them all.  Sounds lovely no?

Did I mention along with Wolverine i also love this guy?  I <3 you Dastan!!!!!

"Skyscraper"

I sooooo love this song!  "Skyscraper"  for me is a song about even when you feel broken , worn or just plain awful to stand tall ,be you and be proud of being you and what you have overcome. 
                                   In the past year Demi Lovato has overcome quite a few issues which have been challenging her for most of her life. She decided to do something about it and with help has become a much happier and more confident person.  For me she is inspirational, if a celebrity , who has millions of people watching their each move can accept and overcome their problems, and then tell those millions what they are , surely I one person can accept my problems and overcome them? No matter how small they are or seem to be. 

This song is one of 18 songs I have made a playlist of and put on my Mp4 player.   I called the playlist  the  "Happy playlist" and its a collection of songs which I find inspirational , and encouraging.  For me to listen to when I feel down.   And this one is like in the top 5 of that playlist that get played all the time. In fact its number 1. 

What do you think? Do you like this song? Do you have a song that you listen to to encourage you?

TEN Things that irratate and annoy me

 1.People telling me what I should be doing and how to do it.

2.Background music on blogs, as I often try to go on blogger at night when little kids are in bed and the music spooks me out and make me jump out of my skin.  As its unexpected.

 3. When I'm listening to music and some one turns it down.

4. High pitched whistling.  It just grates against my nerves.

5. People messing up a room I've just tidied .

6. Crummy lyrics in songs. Like if its baout icecream its just like 'I love my icecream its so great , gonna eat it tonight on a date . With the girl of my life. Nanananana! Ohhhhhhh Yeah!"   Awful!!!!!!! And I just made that up.   

7.   Picture books that are supoosed to be read to little kids to teach them basic things which shouldn't be a book, like how to go to the toilet. Gosh! How dumb are some people! Its ina little room and when you need to go you go! Simple!!!  Kids aren't dumb!

8.Peopel wearing mismatched clothes, or clothes that just make them look frumpy. I just want to grab them and give them a free make over .  That would be nice wouldn't it?

9. When I wake up and Julia Gillard is Prime Minister. Gosh! Can't wait till shes kicked out in the next election. What a happy day that will be! :D    

10. People who dislike chips. I love chips! Must be my British heritage. But, who couldn't like these?

Musician's and songs I like. Part Four : Avril Lavaigne

Avril Lavaigne, you either think her musics awesome or you think it is the worst sound on the planet.  I am one of those people who belong in the former category . I consider her music awesome!  Also her vocals are very unique I think.

Out of all her songs my  two  favourites  would have to be   "When You're Gone "    and "Keep Holding On."

The first one, "When you're gone" is sad , and sweet.   It speaks about how much  this one person is missed soooo much by Avril . And how She never realised how much she loved him till he was gone.
Here it is:  "When You're Gone."

 The second one "Keep Holding On"   is about never giving up and holding on to dreams and always trying.  My favourite line out of it is  "What ever  is meant to be , will work out perfectly." Beautiful no?     Here is the music video for "Keep Holding On"

So, Do you like Avril Lavaigne?   Do you like either of the above songs?  Which is your favourite(s)  song (s) of hers?

I'm back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Musician's and songs I like. Part Three : Demi Lovato

 I'd have to say that Demi Lovato is my favorite singer/songwriter/ musician . I love her songs. I love the depth of meaning the have and I like the happy light hearted ones she has.   I admire the struggles she has gone through and the strength she has had to get help and come out a better person.   I love the way she dresses .   Okay, so I like her a lot.      And I will continue to love and support her music and journey.      My favorite of her songs would  have to be her new one  "Skyscraper."

There is such a powerful message for me in this song. And it can vary each time I listen to it.   It has for me many hidden meanings , many deep heart warming meanings for me in life.     What did you think? Do you like Demi? Which is your favorite song of hers?  Tell me!

Musician's and songs I like. Part Two : " Miracles Happen"

Five years ago I watched "Princess Diaries" now aside from loving  the movie (which I totally do) I also fell in love with the music on it. This song in particular.   "Miracles Happen "  is  a very encouraging song.  I encourages us , to try again and that when things look bleakest to remember Miracles DO Happen.    It is sung by Myra  , who has I think outstanding vocal praformance.

Optical Illusions. Part One: Jesus.

#1.   Truly this artist was gifted!!!! To be able to draw a landscape and portrait in the same picture. Very clever. Don't you think?

#

 





#2.This optical illusion is very cool. Concentrate your eyesight on it , stare at it for about 20 seconds and then glance at the wall.   * Isn't that marvelous!!!!

#3.   This one is very beautiful I think.  In fact in this post it is my favorite.  Jesus has a soft face and looks at me lovingly, and I look and I see even more. Literally.                                           

 * #2. You should see Jesus' face.


Which is your favorite?

TTFN

Musician's and songs I like. Part One : Taylor Swift ,

 I have never met anyone who hates Taylor Swift.  I personally find her songs very inspiring and moving, lyricly and instrumentally.  However I don't beleive you could get a group of 5 people in the same room and get them to agree on which of Taylor Swift's songs is the best.   I personally can't actually choose!    i like 'Enchanted' ,'Love Story' 'Haunted ' , 'Today was a fairy Tale' and this one 'You Belong With Me.'

You Belong With Me is very special to me as its the first Taylor Swift I remember hearing and I like the vibe and meaning of the song. Simple yet, powerful in both words, music and visualality.     Taylor Swift is ver talanted and unique in every aspect of her career.    


Here is the official music video.      

 What do you think? Do you like Taylot Swift? Which song inspires you? Do you have a favourite?  What do you like most about her music?  


 P.s.  Plus, isn't her blonde hair gorgeous!
