Things I love : Swings!!!!!

2012-01-27T16:03:00.000+11:00

One of the things I love the most is swinging. :] I've always loved them and I think I always will, my Mummy still goes on them. :D

                   There is no right words to describe the feeling you get when swinging. Excited and Joyful don't quite cut it. Its both those and more, its a Thrilling Adventure, and (most importantly) a Journey in Poetry and Song.
                      Because very time I go on a swing I feel like singing, songs I've heard , songs that just pop into my head while swinging or I begin having poetry float about my head. Especially this old poem by Robert Louis Stevenson       "The Swing"

   How do you like to go up in a swing,
                                      Up in the air so blue?
                                       Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing
                                      Ever a child can do!

                                     Up in the air and over the wall,
                                     Till I can see so wide,
                                     River and trees and cattle and all
                                         Over the countryside--

                                Till I look down on the garden green,
                                  Down on the roof so brown--
                                Up in the air I go flying again,
                                Up in the air and down!

Hello all! Yes, I know its been awhile since I wrote some blog post besides A Damsels Day Book. But, I have been using this time to re think about: Why I blog. What do I really want to blog about. And trying to think how much time I actually need on the computer each day. Computers are awesome right? And Google.... Well, Google is my friend. But, I know personally that if I spend to much time in front of a screen I don't do any creative stuff or read much of any good books. And it doesn't do a thing for me. I'm looking to find more balance in my life so I'm going to be seriously trying to find it. I'll be back once I've finished working out my list of stuff I actually want to blog about. *blows kisses* Bless you all!

Happy birthday Vellvin! : And Sisterhood.

2011-11-25T21:52:00.000+11:00

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.

2011-11-17T14:41:00.000+11:00

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.

2011-11-15T15:07:00.000+11:00

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.

2011-11-07T15:16:00.000+11:00

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.

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

2011-10-31T19:20:00.000+11:00

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"

2011-10-29T15:19:00.013+11:00

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

2011-10-26T15:22:00.000+11:00

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

2011-10-15T14:49:00.001+11:00

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?

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

2011-10-07T06:51:00.016+11:00

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"

2011-09-28T07:41:00.001+10:00

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.

2011-09-23T07:42:00.001+10:00

#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?

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

2011-09-21T07:07:00.001+10:00

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!

"Hold on to my Cross"

2011-09-16T23:10:00.001+10:00

In this day and age there are so many things we are told are important: money, jobs, power and that they will bring us happiness. And if we are sad or discontent we must search for something else to have or get. We see the effects of people who follow this creed, this way of life.
People who have money , positions of power and the ability to help others using all these blessing for their own selfish gain and always wanting more never being content.
Always searching , and trying everything to fill the hole in their hearts but, they find nothing. For these things are temporary THINGS they cannot bring us full contentment.
And when we are blessed to have numerous blessings that can help others we MUST be thinking "I have so much! What can I give/do/etc. to make help someone's life get better? To give them a sense of worth." But, then we are told that 'Every one must stand on their own feet.' ' Everyone has to do it themselves' 'Why should you give them help?What have they done for you' 'Why would you want to do that' 'What will people say.'
And all these negatives comments fill us with unsureness in our future and in what we should be doing with all these blessings of ours, material and immaterial.
And the truth is we must often just follow our gut instinct, trust our feelings , listen to our heart and most importantly , to hold on to the Cross. "Cause in the end that's all that matters. For without the sacrifice that Jesus made for us we would have : Nothing.

Hold on to the Cross. At times its gonna be tough, our hands may slip, our hearts may falter and we may question and even doubt. But, Jesus remains the same. "Hold on to my Cross" He says " I'll help you carry your burdens, trials and troubles. I love you."

Natural Health : You know you want it.

2011-08-29T16:55:00.000+10:00

Recently my dearest Mummy, asked me to read "The Young Lady's guide To Natural Health" by Mrs. Graham" and to give my opinion of it.
Its a short instructional book with fabulous , practical advice.

There are five chapters within this e-book.
they are

1. A Healthy Mind
2.Nature's Doctors
3. Diet
4. Caring For your Body
and
5.Your Changing Body.

The first part is on the mind, Mrs. Graham says that "If we allow negative thoughts and feelings to take over, they will undo all our physical work. They are so powerful that they can toxify the body as much as anything in our physical world." Mrs. Graham says that when ever possible we should be doing away with music , TV etc. And read good wholesome books, relaxing music and watch things that are morally uplifting. I could see this as something very important and use full as I know from experience that a variety of things are much more fun for me than the same thing(s) over and over again.

Mrs. Graham gives excellent advice on how to make a good start to your day, she says " Before rushing off to all the day's activities, take a few minutes to quiet yourself and pray, meditate and see in your mind a perfect day. Now do what you can to make your day look like the one you 'saw' in your mind! Ask yourself 'What can I do today to make my life truly wonderful?' " I'm not so sure about this as I like my day to be a surprise present , full of wonder and mystery. but, again they are good points to know of.

Mrs. Graham recommends on ending the day in a peaceful and relaxing manner. She suggests on keeping a journal on everything good we did that day and to also write down "Five things you are grateful for." Mrs. Graham says that 'After saying your prayers put on relaxing music, scriptures, or one of those subliminal , 'mind training' Cd's available and say to yourself 'No matter what happens I am always safe' This puts you in a peaceful state of mind that will stay with you all night while you sleep" I can understand this as I know if I go to bed upset, sad or cross I won't sleep peacefully and will (probably ) wake up feeling worse.

Mrs. Graham says that fresh air is most important as it "purifies our blood and gives life to our bodies." Mrs. Graham says that we should take several deep breaths first thing in the morning and last thing at night . She also advices us to allow fresh air to flow through our house and to allow air to flow through our bedrooms as this provides air to sleep well.   Hence, why I hate being in a crowded stuffy room   it is soooooo not invigorating for me.

Mrs. Graham tells us that without the sun life would be impossible. It creates Vitamin D and makes us feel good. It does indeed, on a sunny day everything seems bright and cheerful . But, on a cloudy day I don't feel so joyous.

Also , Exercise. We must get some exercise everyday as lymph (a clear fluid whose vessels are purified by the heart) cannot move without the help of muscles . And that is why it is vital to we exercise for half an hour each day, to move our lymph. I know for a fact that when I exercise I sleep better, think better and just have a sense of general well being.

On diet Mrs. Graham says that a Japanese proverb says "stop when you are eighty percent full." Overeating food because its tasty is bad and must be stopped. Mrs. Graham says 'chewing food slowly and enjoying each bite instead of rushing through a meal helps food be better absorbed into the body." And we should eat as much green stuff as possible. Because greens are excellent blood purifiers and have tons of nutrients in them. She also tells us what food to avoid and what we should substitute instead. This was excellent advice. I love greens , and indeed all food in general so this shall be remembered by me most faithfully.

Mrs. Graham also recommends not eating after a certain time in the evening to aid digestion. And to drink Water! Water! Water! (thankfully) I love water. Mrs. Graham says that certain fabrics prevent the skin from breathing and build up static electricity which makes us feel nervous. Yes, I would rather sleep well than have indigestion. not , that I've ever had it.   And certain fabrics do can make me feel unsettled.

Mrs. Graham gives practical advice on hair care, tooth care and skincare and provides us with a few recipes to try. Also given are practical eye care tips, which are easy to use and highly beneficial . Mrs. Graham also talks on a girls changing body and how to assist in caring for it.    These ideas where most interesting. I wasn't I fan of the tooth cleaning tips though as I find anything different in my mouth invasive.

All in all this is a great book for young girls and indeed women of any age. Mothers and daughters could read it together or a daughter could just read it by herself ( like I did :D ) and feel as if Mrs. Graham herself was instructing her and then share the jewels she has gleaned from its pages with her mother.

This book is the most practical advice on Natural Health that I have heard of and it is all in one place.

I recommend it to any girl striving to care for her body in the most healthy and practical way. In fact to ANYONE regardless of whether they asked about it or not.

An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut . The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest’s breath and then sees an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.
He says, ‘Sir, have you been drinking?’
‘Just water,’ says the priest.
The trooper says, ‘Then why do I smell wine?’
The priest looks at the bottle and says, ‘Good Lord! He’s done it again!’

Being of Irish descent I love Irish blessings. Here are some of my favourites which I give to you darling readers of my blog.

May :
you have:
A world of wishes at your command.
God and his angels close to hand.
Friends and family their love impart,
and Irish blessings in your heart!

May :
your doctor never earn a dollar out of you,
May your heart never give out,
May the ten toes of your feet steer you clear of misfortune.
And before you're much older,
May you hear much better blessings than this.

May:
flowers always line your path
And sunshine light your day
May songbirds serenade you
Every step along the way
May a rainbow run beside you
In a sky that’s always blue
And may happiness fill your heart
Each day your whole life through

May :
your thoughts be as glad as the shamrocks
May your heart be as light as a song
May each day bring you bright, happy hours
That stay with you all the year long

May:
the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
And rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

May:
your neighbors respect you,
Trouble neglect you,
The angels protect you,
And heaven accept you.

Look you even saw a leprechaun.

Magic sticks and canes.

2011-07-12T15:41:00.001+10:00

I felt like posting something kind of amusing. And thanks to Saxon came up with this idea. Below I shall tell a little about the cane or stick, who it belongs to , what its used for and give it a rating from 1-10.

1.Nanny McPhees stick
Nanny McPhee uses her stick to inflict punishments on the children under her care to teach them her "lessons."

Resulting in hilarious incidents. It has a really cool shape and your grandfather could never mistake it for his walking stick. Rating: 7 out of 10

2.Gandalf's staff.

One cannot list all that Gandalf does with his staff. He says he uses it as a walking stick and lamp of sorts . We know better. It looks like an old tree root . Rating 5 out of 10

3.Willy Wonka's cane.
Willy Wonka really just has his cane is not for looks and to tap things it has a whistle built into it and who knows what else! . Its very striking looking and is sure to make you smile or gasp in surprise when you see it. Rating 10 out of 10.

4.Mary Poppins umbrella.

Mary Poppins umbrella is wonderful to say the least. It has a live parrot for its handle and can pull you up in the air and make you fly. providing you with the ultimate get away car. Its a classic black umbrella what more can we say? Rating 8 out of 10

5.Saruman's staff.
Saruman's staff , like himself, looks and is used for evil.
We personally don't like it and would not recommend it ,
or Saruman to anyone.
Rating: 0

6.Yoda's wookiee stick.
Isn't it sweet? It is homey and natural looking. Yoda uses it as a walking stick, but, when he fights he seems to have no need of it at all!
Rating 7 out of 10

7.Beckett's walking stick.
Lord Cutler Beckett's cane is used for show and to scare people. On the tip of it he has a brand in the shape of a "p". We would say don't get this cane as you will clunk and scratch floors terribly.
Rating 6 out of 10

8.Bilbo's walking stick.

Bilbo's walking stick is used to assist him in hiking over mountains. A useful feature for any would be adventurer. One thing though it it Hobbit size. Rating 9 out of 10

Miracles, they happen.

2011-07-09T21:57:00.000+10:00

In this day and age we are given the view that we can do things on our own.
That we don't need anyone else, that through ourselves we can achieve everything.

But, that's not true we all need someone to rely on, someone to hold and help us in times of trial, someone who understands what we're going through.
Now the obvious person to have is Jesus but Jesus works through others so by having someone , our mum , best friend spouse even.

We allow God to work in our life. We sometimes find ourselves in situations where we feel like its the end of the world and there is nothing left for us.
Its at times like this that we need to remember that miracles DO happen.

Miracles. I suppose some people view them as old fashioned , 0ld wives tales, things of the past. That's not so. They have been blinded by the world, the greed, corruption.
Something that spoils their view of love and joy. Which is what miracles are.

Something wonderful, that is the result of love . Love which results in joy and thanksgiving.

Please pray for a miracle for Emily , who is suffering from leukemia with no response to chemotherapy .
Please pray that a miracle happens for her. Here is a little music video about miracles happening . One of my all time favourites.

Please pray for Emily. Go to her blog and tell her your praying for her.

Its today.

2011-07-06T17:29:00.000+10:00

Yep. This morning at 9:55 AM I said hello to 18. I was a little sad to say goodbye to 17, we've been such good friends and done so much together: Went on my first pilgrimage, my first ball, seen many new movies together, and racked my brains thinking about many things. But, hey! I do that all the time! What will 18 be like? Fun? I hope so. I was thinking last night how 10 years ago I dreamed of being 18 and all I hoped it would bring. And I started thinking what will it bring? Will it be all I've dreamed of? What's it going to be like to be considered and adult? And actually BE one?!?!? Yeah, I feel like Rapunzel. So in honour of my 18th birthday here is a little song for ya to listen to while thinking about me!

TTFN

Guess What!!!!!

2011-07-01T13:16:00.000+10:00

I'm going to

.
a

ball!!!!
Yep. Thats whats happening this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it and will tell you all about it loves when I return! Until then ,
Farewell!

Well, its finally come. In ten days I will.....

2011-06-26T20:54:00.000+10:00

..........................................................................
Turn 18 *gulp*.    Yep, that big number .
The age when the world considers you an adult, even if you yourself don't quiet think you are? Yep, that one.
The age when you can vote?
Yep, that one.
the age when you can do things like: smoke , drink, and do numerous other not to good things legally?
Yep, that one.
The age where if your arrested you are treated , well , not like a kid anymore?
Yep that one.

And I am soooooo excited and well, nervous.    Because what does being 18 mean? I hope that the year i have being 18 will be one of the best in my life.

And now, ranting , moaning and sorting out the bit of a muddle in my head.

I remember thinking that when I turned 18 everything would be perfect. You know, I would be "grown up" and Prince Charming would just drop into my lap.

But HEY!!!!!!! It doesn't work like that. You and Prince Charming have to search for each other.
You might be lucky and meet him early in life. He could be that nice guy you meet at a friends . Or maybe you just meet him without hardly trying to find him.

I've realised that even though girls I know who are even younger then me have just found their prince Charming , that no matter how i wish it was me it won't be.

I'm single. And while some days I may tell myself that "yeah, God will send me prince Charming some day".
It doesn't always mean tomorrow.

And that at this stage in my life I have to learn how to : Hope, love and Trust . Trust that I'll be guided in what I'm supposed to do with my life, and who I'm meant to spend my life with.

And I believe that by trusting even a little everything will be okay.

Hey! I'm (nearly) 18 years old, young , single and most wonderful of all ....... I've got my whole life ahead of me to live.

And right now even though I feel like I'm hiding behind a haystack waiting, I hope , dream and wish that someday it'll be more like this:

A Happily ever After, with MY prince.

Questions and answers ( my favourite game)

2011-06-22T10:13:00.000+10:00

Alrighty the questions and the answers
From Monica:
Did you know anyone on blogger when you first started? Um, apart from my mum. There was one other person , Elise. Who I knew from years back. We've never actually met.But we know some of the same people and have talked on Skype.

From Claretta:
What is your least /most favourite thing about being a big sister? My favourite thing would be when my littlest brothers and sisters rush up and give me a hug or won't let me go but want me to stay with them.
My least favourite would be when I start something and am then called to come help with them. Because chances are I probably won't be able to come back to it for a while. If at all.
What do you want to be when you "grow up"? Currently , I don't really know. I have so many interests and loves that finding out what I want to be is a bit of a challenge. But , I'm keeping my eyes peeled for Prince Charming.
From Imogene:
What first got you blogging? Well, I had been reading this great blog, which I loved. And my Mum had one and I thought "Hey, I'm going to try blogging" and here I am 2 years later and still loving it.
Have you made many friends through blogging? Yes, many. And you're one of them!
What don't you like about the blogging community ( if anything)? I hate when someone posts something they believe in strongly about and someone leaves a nasty comment. I believe it to be very cruel.
Having experienced it on my blog. And seen it on others.
My opinion is you should only comment if you have something positive and good to say, because that is one way of spreading sunshine.
From My Mummy :
I am wondering what are your favourite type of posts to write ? Mummy, i like to write about people that inspire me and things I love . And do you have a direction for the coming year ,or are you happy with where you are at the moment? Mummy, I just want to blog.
Also do you write more when people comment more? I think so.

And there you have it! Hope you enjoyed my answers to your questions I enjoyed answering them!TTFN

A Song I Want To Share With You.

2011-05-20T07:00:00.002+10:00

I've been listening to this song ever since I was little and I love it.

Its message always rings true, "enjoy the simple every day things of today. They will be treasures tomorrow." And "they are the most important." That's what it says to me.

Sometimes it says other things like "look for the beauty around you."

It words and message are always constant they never change.

This song also always makes me think of My Mummy .
She loves simple things so if I where to choose a song to describe her this would be in the top 3.
I also really like Amy Grant .
Enjoy!!!!!

On Temples.......

2011-05-05T17:19:00.000+10:00

Today I was reading one of my favourite blogs and the author, Christa had linked too and shared parts of an interesting article on teenager girls, modesty and such.
It was very interesting as I've said. And it got me thinking about how important it is to dress as a Temple of The Holy Spirit.

A Temple doesn't have just a floor a roof and walls with big gaps and an open door. No. It is beautiful and mysterious, graceful and sacred. A Temple.

I want to be prized as a woman of God, not a Fun House.
I want to be loved for me , not my body. I want to be a Temple.

I hope you will too.

Favorite Heroines #1 Anne Shirley prt2

2011-04-15T17:05:00.000+10:00

After trying to remember all this movie I decided to just copy Wikipedia's review. We don't have it on DvD so I couldn't even rewatch it! Boohoohoo. Maybe I can get it from ...... somewhere . Anyway here at long last is part two.

The film resumes the story of Anne Shirley, who at 16 had chosen to study for her college degree by correspondence in order to remain at Green Gables to help an aging Marilla, who has eyesight problems, look after the house and farm.

Anne now holds a Teacher's Licence after completing the two-year post-secondary course at Charlottetown's Queens Academy in only one year.

Gotta love that hair

Anne begins to teach at Avonlea School and has dreams of becoming a writer, but her story “Averil’s Atonement” is rejected by a magazine. Leaving the post office one day, Anne runs into Gilbert Blythe, who tells her that her best friend Diana is engaged to Fred Wright. Anne is initially bewildered by Diana’s decision, calling it impulsive. Meanwhile, in the last two years, Marilla’s eyesight has greatly improved. Having regained her independence, Marilla encourages Anne to resume her old ambition of attending college.

At the clambake celebrating Fred and Diana’s engagement, Anne and Gilbert wander off to a bridge, where Gilbert proposes. Anne rejects his offer, convinced that their marriage would be unhappy and unsuccessful. She runs off.

At Diana’s wedding, Anne sees Gilbert with a young woman named Christine Stuart. Gilbert tells Anne that he and Christine are just friends, then offers to wait for her if there is any hope of them getting together. Anne rejects him again, and Gilbert suspects that there is someone else, despite Anne's assertion there is no person she cares about more than him.

Anne returns to Green Gables and decides to look into the job her former teacher Miss Muriel Stacey offered her. Eventually, Anne decides to take this job as an English teacher at Kingsport Ladies’ College in the hope that it will inspire her and give her something to write about.

Every inch a lady/teacher/author

Initially, Anne finds her new job to be difficult. A member of the local community - and member of the powerful Pringle family - had also tried for Anne’s post and was rejected, causing resentment. However, Anne gradually earns the respect of her students, their families and her colleagues, including the severe Katherine Brooke and the Pringle family. Her dream of being published is also finally achieved after she writes a series of short stories based on Avonlea inspired by a suggestion from Gilbert.

While teaching at the Ladies' College, Anne grows close to one student, Emmeline Harris, and is welcomed by Emmeline's entire family, including her widowed father who also proposes marriage.

I love this part on the movie

Anne declines his proposal and returns to Green Gables, where she learns that Gilbert is ill with Scarlet Fever Anne finally realizes her true feelings for Gilbert, and goes to visit him. After Gilbert regains his health, he proposes once more, and Anne accepts him with a kiss, declaring, "I don't want sunbursts or marble halls, I just want you."

So there you go (finally part 2) Part three will be here soon. Trust me.

Music I Like

2011-04-14T11:22:00.000+10:00

I love music. I have yet to meet somone who doesn't.
Here below are a few of my all time favourite Newsboys songs.
The first one is of the band currently. The lead singer is Michael Tait who used to be in the band DC Talk .
In the older ones Peter Furler   was lead singer but he left the other year and his solo album is set to come out in June this year.
I think Michael Tait is easier to understand sing thean peter Furler. I always had trouble understanding him.
So, Yeah here are the videos for your enjoyment.

A Joke

2011-04-13T06:53:00.004+10:00

I was told this joke years ago. I could never remember all of it , a great pity as I found it very funny. Anyway I found it on Laura's blog and decided to repost it on my blog. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Two sisters, one blonde and one brunette, inherit the family ranch.
Unfortunately, after just a few years, they are in financial trouble..

In order to keep the bank from
repossessing the ranch, they need to purchase a bull so that they can breed their own stock.

Upon leaving, the brunette tells her sister, 'When I get there, if I decide to buy the bull, I'll contact you to drive out after me and haul it home.'

The brunette arrives at the man's ranch, inspects the bull, and decides she wants to buy it.

The man tells her that he will sell it for $599, no less.

After paying him, she drives to the nearest town to send her sister a telegram to tell her the news.

She walks into the telegraph office, and says, 'I want to send a telegram to my sister telling her that I've bought a bull for our ranch.

I need her to hitch the trailer to our pickup truck and drive out here so we can haul it home.'

The telegraph operator explains that he'll be glad to help her, then adds, it will cost 99 cents a word.

Well, after paying for the bull, the brunette realizes that she'll only be able to send her sister one word.

After a few minutes of thinking, she nods and says, 'I want you to send her the word 'comfortable.'

The operator shakes his head. 'How is she ever going to know that you want her to hitch the trailer to your pickup truck and drive out here to haul that bull back to your ranch if you send her just the word 'comfortable?'

The brunette explains, 'My sister's blonde. The word is big.

She'll read it very slowly...
'com-for-da-bul.'

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

2011-04-12T14:35:00.000+10:00

Who hasn't at least heard about this movie? The very title brings to mind many things, of Chocolate and lollies, little men, an eccentric maybe crazy factory owner .And poor boy who lives in a rickety tumble down sort of cottage with his mother , father and both sets of grandparents. They don't have much but they do have love and that is at the heart of this movie. Those who have real love, a love that binds and those who have a love of things that destroys their hearts and minds and those in their lives.

Here is the Wikipedia review of the 2005 movie:

All in the Factory looking in wonder

Charlie Bucket is a kind loving child from Scotland growing up in a very poor family. He lives with his mother, his father (who works in a toothpaste factory), and his four bedridden grandparents in the same town as the famous chocolate factory. The company's owner, Willy Wonka has long closed access to his factory due to problems concerning industrial espionage that ultimately led him to fire all his employees, among them Charlie's Grandpa Jo. One day, Wonka informs the world of a contest, in which five Golden Tickets have been placed in five random Wonka bars worldwide, and the winners will be given a full tour of the factory as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate, while one ticket holder will be given a special prize at the end of the tour.

Wonka's sales subsequently skyrocket, with people from different parts of the world searching for the tickets. Eventually the first four tickets are found by Augustus Gloop a greedy gluttonous eater from Germany; Veruca Salt, a spoiled rotten brat from England; Violet Beauregard, a rude competitive gum chewer, gymnast, and karate champion from Georgia; and Mike Teevee, an arrogant hot-headed television, computer, and video game addict from Colorado. Charlie tries twice to find a ticket, but both bars come empty. After overhearing that the final ticket was found in Russia, Charlie finds a ten-dollar bill, and purchases a Wonka Bar at the local candy store. At the exact moment it is revealed that the Russian ticket was forged, Charlie discovers the real fifth ticket inside the wrapper. Although two other customers offer to buy it from him, Charlie runs home to tell his family and decides to bring Grandpa Joe to accompany him on the factory tour.

An Oompa- Loompa

Charlie and the other ticket holders are greeted by Wonka outside the factory who then leads the group into the facility. During the tour, each of the bad children disobey Wonka's orders after being tempted by something related to their individual character flaws, and suffer various consequences: Augustus is sucked up a chocolate extraction pipe after falling into a chocolate river from which he was drinking, Violet is turned into an oversized blueberry after chewing unstable three-course-meal gum, Veruca and her father are pushed into a garbage chute by worker squirrels after Veruca tried to take one as a pet, and Mike is shrunk with a teleporter that he uses on himself. Wonka's employees, the Oompa loompa's, sing a song of morality after each elimination. The children later leave the factory with an exaggerated characteristic or deformity related to their demise: Augustus covered in chocolate, Violet blue-coloured and flexible, Veruca and her father covered in garbage, and Mike overstretched.

Charlie with his ticket

Wonka then invites Charlie to come live and work in the factory with him, and reveals that the purpose of the Golden Tickets and the tour was to make the "least rotten" child the heir of the factory itself so he can have someone carry on his legacy when he dies. The only condition, however, is that Charlie must leave his family behind, because Wonka believes family is a hindrance to a chocolatier's creative freedom, a philosophy Wonka developed due to his dentist father, Dr. Wilbur Wonka, denying his son candy because of the potential risk to his teeth. After secretly sampling some candy, Wonka was instantly hooked. When his father found out, and said he would not allow his son to become a chocolatier, Wonka ran away to follow his dreams.

Charlie in the Factory

As his family is the most important thing in his life, Charlie refuses Wonka's offer. Charlie and his family are living contently a while later, but Wonka is emotionally depressed; he returns to seek advice, and Charlie helps him re-unite with his estranged father. Charlie ultimately inherits the factory, while Wonka has patched up with his family.

Here is the Wikipedia review of the 1971 film.

Charlie Bucket is a poor boy living with his widowed mother and four bed-ridden grandparents in a tiny house. Charlie supplements the meager family income by delivering newspapers after school. One day, the family, along with the rest of the world, learns that the candy maker Willy Wonka has hidden five Golden Tickets amongst his Wonka Bars. The finders of these special tickets will be given a full tour of his tightly-guarded candy factory, as well as a lifetime supply of chocolate. Charlie wants to take part in the search, but cannot afford to buy vast quantities of chocolate like other participants. Four of the tickets are found by: Augustus Gloop, a gluttonous German boy; Veruca Salt, a spoiled English girl; Violet Beauregard, a gum-chomping American girl; and Mike Teevee, a television-obsessed American boy. As they find their tickets, a sinister-looking man is observed whispering in their ears, to which they listen attentively despite their preoccupations with their particular obsessions. Charlie's hopes are dashed when news breaks that the final ticket had been found by a millionaire.
Charlie with his ticket
The next day, as the Golden Ticket craze dies down, Charlie finds a silver coin in a gutter and uses it to buy a Wonka Bar. Simultaneously, word spreads that the ticket found by the millionaire was forged. When Charlie opens the bar, he finds the real golden ticket, and races home to tell his family, but is stopped along the way by the same man who had been seen whispering to the other four winners. The man introduces himself as Arthur Slugworth, a rival confectioner who offers to pay Charlie for a sample of Wonka's latest creation, the Everlasting Gobbstopper
Charlie in the Factory
Grandpa Joe manages to get out of bed to serve as Charlie's tour chaperone. The next day, Wonka greets the children and their guardians at the factory gates and leads them inside, requiring each to sign a contract before the tour can begin. Inside is a psychedelic wonderland full of chocolate rivers, giant edible mushrooms, lickable wallpaper and other ingenious inventions and candies, as well as Wonka's workers, the small, orange-skinned, green-haired Oompa Loompas. As the tour progresses, each of the first four children misbehave against Wonka's warnings, resulting in serious consequences. Augustus is sucked through a chocolate extraction pipe system and sent to the Fudge Room after trying to drink from a chocolate river. Violet transforms into a giant blueberry after trying an experimental piece of Three-Course-Dinner Gum. Veruca is rejected as a "bad egg" and sent plummeting down a garbage chute in the Chocolate Golden Egg Sorting Room. Mike is shrunken to only a few inches in height after being transmitted by "Wonkavision," a broadcasting technology that can send objects through television instead of pictures. The Oompa-Loompas sing a song after each mishap, describing that particular child's poor behavior.
Charlie also succumbs to temptation along with Grandpa Joe, as they stay behind in the Bubble Room and sample Fizzy Lifting Drinks. They begin floating skyward and are nearly sucked into a ceiling-mounted exhaust fan. To avoid this grisly fate, they burp repeatedly until they return to the ground. Wonka initially seems unaware of this incident.
When Charlie becomes the last remaining child on the tour, Wonka politely dismisses him and Grandpa Joe and disappears into his office, without awarding Charlie his lifetime supply of chocolate. Grandpa Joe and Charlie enter the office, where Wonka tells them that Charlie does not get the prize because he broke the rules. Puzzled, Grandpa Joe denies seeing any rules. Wonka angrily reveals the forfeiture clause of the contract Charlie signed. Charlie's part in the theft of the Fizzy Lifting Drinks means that he violated the contract, and therefore he receives nothing. Wonka dismisses them. Grandpa Joe vows to give Slugworth the gobstopper, but Charlie places the gobstopper on Wonka's desk.
An Oompa - Loompa
Wonka recants and begs for his guests' forgiveness. He reveals that Slugworth is actually an employee named Wilkinson, whose offer to buy the gobstopper was a morality test for the Golden Ticket winners, and Charlie was the only one who passed.
The trio enter the "Wonkavator", a multi-directional glass elevator, and fly out of the factory in it. As they soar over the village, Wonka tells Charlie that his actual prize is the factory itself, as the Golden Ticket search was created to help Wonka search for an honest and worthy child to be the heir to his chocolate empire. Charlie and his family will reside in the factory and take over its operation when Wonka retires.

As I have shown you there are two versions. Which do you prefer? I love the new one . Yes, Johnny Depp is Willy Wonka but that has nothing to do with it I assure you. Some people find that Willy Wonka in this version looks like Michael Jackson . Interesting don't you think? The 1971 one always scared me as a small child even as an older child I didn't really like it. There were just parts that always scared me. That's why I love the new one . The new one is very well done and its also very funny but so is the 1971 one in a way. Anyway that's my rant on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. And if you haven't actually read the reviews that's fine they are very long.
I know, I didn't actually read through either of them. :D

Anyone else looking forward to it? Its gonna be soooooo insanely good!!!! I <3 the Pirates of the Caribbean movies,and the fact I own the movie guides and have a poster has nothing to do with it!
Not to mention there looks like there are going to be some seriously good lines to quote .

Audrey and Anne

2011-03-29T15:11:00.000+11:00

I have heard many people say that Anne Hathaway is a lot like Audrey Hepburn. Anne's acting style has been compared to Audrey and many have said she bears an uncanny resemblance to Audrey.

While browsing pictures of these two world acclaimed actresses I came across the one below.
Sometime last year Anne Hathaway had a photo shoot of sorts for some magazine and she was dressed as Audrey Hepburn. Now would you agree that there is a resemblance? Or would you say there isn't?

Today is Harry Handcuff Houdini's the great magician and escape artist's 137th birthday. I love reading about him and if I had lived back when he was alive I would have loved to be his apprentice. anyone else love Houdini?
Here is link to the Wikipedia article on him. Ironically the last remaining member of his troupe of assistants Dorothy Young died the other day.

His wife Willamina Beatrice Houdini Known as "Bess" was also his stage assistant . They had no children which is very sad I think. Houdini was Jewish Bess was Catholic. Interesting huh?

2011-03-09T09:18:00.000+11:00

A fun tag do join in dear people. I'm imploring you to. No not really just consider doing it. For my sake.

1. If you blog anonymously, are you happy doing this? If you aren't anonymous do you wish you started out anonymously, so that you could be anonymous now? I don't. I love my name and couldn't even consider blogging under a fake one. I also just don't think there is really any harm in going by your real name , you just gotta be careful you don't give to much info out on the Internet.

2. Describe an incident that shows your inner stubborn side:
I suppose when I was told when I was little to do something one way but purposely did it another . I don't remember an actual incident , just an idea of one.
3. What do you see when you really look at yourself in the mirror?
A girl who tries to do what is right .Has doubts,fears and dreams. But believes everything will turn out right and everything happens for a reason.

4. What is your favorite summer cold drink?
Lemonade!
5. When you take time for yourself, what do you do?
Read a book, chat to a family member, blog, facebook, email, sing, be me.
6. Is there something you still want to accomplish in your life?
Lots! I want to travel see places, go visit my pen-pal friend Autumn in the USA, learn to play guitar really well, learn a 2nd language, have my family's and m,y prayers answered that we sell our house and relocate back interstate, hopefully soon. Write lots of books and stories and...... Yes I have a lot of stuff I want to do.
7. When you attended school, were you the class clown, the overachiever, the shy person, or always ditching? I've never attended school in my life, I have been homeschooled all my life!

8. If you close your eyes and want to visualize a very poignant moment in your life, what would you see?
um..... "a very poignant moment of my life?" I'm not sure. I think it would depend on the day .

9. Is it easy for you to share your true self in your blog, or are you more comfortable writing posts about other people and events? I wouldn't say I'm super awesome at sharing my true self on blogger. I sometimes find it a little hard but i believe in being honest so I always try to share my true self. so I would say I post in a well balanced way.

10. If you had the choice to sit down and read a book, or talk on the phone, which would you choose and why? Read a book !!!!!!!

T. L. M. C. Day 26: A childhood memory. Day 27: A physical feature you love.

2011-02-27T12:35:00.002+11:00

Day 26 : A childhood memory

Okay I am a child. At least until July. Um,............... thinking......... thinking.........Got one!

Alright I was 6 we lived kinda near the beach. It was just a short drive away . I think, I was only small. Anyway . We went to the like the harbour to see....... Can you guess? Whales!!!!!!! I remember driving in the car watching them through the windows. And watching them move around and their tales poking through the water.

Not my photo : I think they were kinda like this.

I was very excited to see real whales. I think i had seen "Free Willy" or whatever its called its about whales anyway. I can remember many other things but this is a special memory for me.

Not my photo : I remember their tales like this

I don't remember every part of it in great detail. I only remember being in the car and seeing the whales.
Day 27: A physical feature you love.

This will probably sound weird to you but my favourite physical feature would be eyes. Yeah, I guess that sounds weird. But eyes tell soooooo much about a person. you can see what they are feeling inside and kind of see what they're like. Does any one else love eyes?

Not my photo. But look at it!

Not my photo: Brilliant Green . Awesome!

2011-02-25T12:41:00.001+11:00

This is one of my favourite cakes. My Mummy has made this all my life. It is SCRUMPTIOUS!!!!!

Quick Easy Chocolate Fudge Cake~

1 packet of chocolate cake mix
1 packet of chocolate instant pudding mix
1 packet of chocolate drops
2 eggs
1 3/4 cups of milk

Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wooden spoon

Bake at 180 degrees until cake leaves the side of the pan

Serve on it's own or with cream and strawberries.
We usually double this recipe and use a mixture of white and milk chocolate drops.
It makes two or three cakes. But, who really cares so long as its a chocolate right?

Alrighty this is easier then yesterdays was! I have many hobbies. I sing, draw, write stories and do many other things. But, I think the one I use the most often and easily is, my ability to make people laugh.
Yes "Weird" your saying. But I do. I'll often say something that makes my Mummy laugh or do something she thinks is funny. Sometimes I'm just being me and do or say something seriously that Mummy thinks is funny. I also do the same with my siblings .
I'll try to make my family laugh when they're feeling down some of them are so hard to get to laugh it can become a chore if I don't try properly.
I love to laugh and I love to make other people laugh.
If everyone would make an effort to laugh each day I'm sure the world would be a better place and we would all be happier.

Well, I'm talented at many things. I enjoy and love doing sooooooo many things. But, I think the one my family would agree is my best is cooking.
I've been helping my Mummy cooks since I could walk. I remember making bread with her when I was tiny.
When I was about 8 i started cooking without Mummy's help.
Now at 17 I can honestly say I can cook . I often prepare dinner with My sisters and will make snacks for all of us and desserts.
Sometimes I've made a horrifying mistake , like, to much salt or flipped out a cake to soon and it fell apart.
But, I see these mistakes as good they teach me not to do it again.

Day 16 : A song that makes you laugh.
Um, this is hard. I don't know if i actually have one that makes me laugh. I find things amusing but they have to be hysterical to make me laugh or silly. Hmmmmmm? What song?
I think it would have to be " Ebay" by weird Al Yankovic. One I first heard it I thought it made me laugh, now because my siblings play it all the time it doesn't.

Day 17: An art piece.
Okay , so why are you looking at me like that/ This is my favorite art piece.
The Lady of Shallot by John William Waterhouse. There is so much going on this picture!
It tells you so much and conveys oodles of meaning to me. Its so GORGEOUS!!!!!

Day 18: A time when you felt passionate and alive.
Um, That is a weird question. Hardly a day goes by when I am not feeling alive. With the changing seasons and new things happening all the time how could you not feel alive? So, To answer the question I feel alive right now. As for passionate... well, I get passionate about things and people I love and care for .

C. S. Lewis! He wrote such wonderful books. books , that speak to my heart. Books that teach me many things. i am currently reading "The Screwtape letters" for school. They are most interesting.

Henceforth I won't be blogging unless the computer loves me. Which hopefully will be soon as I am sooooooo behind in TLMC! I shall return! Hopefully in the next few days.

T. L. M. C. Day 8 : A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.

2011-02-08T15:24:00.000+11:00

Day 8: A thank you letter to someone who has changed your life.
Hmmmmmm, there are so many people in ones life who change it. I know if my Mum hadn't taught me to read I wouldn't be the same person, I know if I couldn't cook I wouldn't be the same person. But, my Mum taught me all these and more and for that I am grateful and thankful.

But, who else has changed my life? I think Father Felix, our assistant parish priest from Nigeria would be one of the people who has changed my life and also my outlook on life. Yes, I think I'll go with Fr. Felix.

Dear Father Felix,
I just want to say thank you for everything you've done for me. You've taught me many things without realising it. You've taught me to not look on the bad side of things but to have hope that everything is for a purpose God's purpose and if I start to feel like there is so much unfairness in my life I should remember what you say , " God is not fair. God is generous."

You've taught me to live by JOY . Living first for Jesus , then for others , and then for myself. And doing it JOYfully. You've shown me that Trust, Faith and Hope in Jesus should be my number one priority. You 've shown me that even though you can be a stranger in a strange land, and the culture changes, people are still people. They still need to be loved , respected and honoured.

Fr. Felix, I know when you left Nigeria for Tasmania you said you were scared and nervous. But, through it all you had faith and you showed me that as it says on The Princess Diaries movies that

" Courage is not the absence of fear. but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear." You also smile all the time and in that way show others your happy no matter what, and I'm working on that.

Father Felix I thank God that you changed my life.
And I thank God for sending you to Tasmania.

Thank you

Okay, this will be hard!

You didn't say material or immaterial things so I will do two groups .

                                               Material.
Number One :   My family, I love them all so much and life would be empty without them all.
Number Two : Music! Life would be boring and dull without Music.
Number Three : Writing implements. You know pencils, pens all those things.
Number Four : Paper ! That means paper of all types, books, notepads, coloured paper , scrapbook paper etc.
Number Five : A good nights sleep.

Immaterial.
#1.Peace.
#2. Hope.
#3. Joy.
#4. God's love and that also means my relationship with God.
#5. Awe.   At God's wonderful world He gave us , my family , everything !
