If you have any questions about our flight today, please don't hesitate to leave a flash of light. Please Note: NO excess baggage Allowed; Pain, Hurt, Anger, Grudge, Unforgiveness, Confusion.

LIFE: I never imagined I would grow so much in just one year, I never imagined that I would find myself in more than half of the situations I found myself in. Overall it’s been a very successful year, I might not have bagged all I thought I would, but I can pat myself on my back and say I’m proud of myself.  So I’m older and wiser-Thank you God, I’ve decided to simplify Thank you- (you know yourself :-)) and live life.

I live on certain principles. In every situation I faced this year, I was rescued by either one or more of them, so I choose to share my very simple but powerful words with you, so as you move into the New Year and face new things these words are with you.

·     Life is about choices: Make the RIGHT CHOICE today.

·    The Will of God cannot place you where the Grace of God cannot keep you.

·    God CANNOT give you more than you can bear (you are created to survive any battle you find yourself in)- aaah My favorite, danm any circumstance!

·    The Lord will provide ALL my needs- so no need to worry even though the bank account maybe half / totally empty, help is on the way.

·    Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself (I must say this one is hard- sometimes I just can’t help but worry)

·    I was NOT born to suffer (if it's not worth it, then don't do it)

·    Comfort is the name of my game. (it's not about being spoilt, it's about loving myself)

·    We only live once (take the risk, you never know)

·    Everything happens for a reason; hence all things work together for good- even if the outcome isn’t want you want- I Live by this

FAMILY: Does anyone come from a normal one? I doubt that- we are all crazy and we love each other and that’s all that matters- my parents have been together for nearly 30 freaking years! And my dad still cooks for her- Jeeze! They annoy me to my bone marrow!

WORK: So I served this year, 1 more month to go, the only corper retained effective Jan 1- even though my service year isn’t over, with a proposed fat ass pay cheque (Woo Hoo! Where my Christian Louboutin and jimmy Choo’s @ LOL!)- that’s my Light shinning,  contrary to what people may think, if you are light you will always shine even if you don’t mean to.

RELATIONSHIP/FRIENDSHIP/LOVE: * Exhaling. My year old relationship has taught me more than I could have ever learnt in 6 ½ years. Yes I faced the biggest demons ever, demons that I didn’t know existed, demons that break you down and you ask yourself, what the hell am I doing here? After all I was better off all by myself before he came along. I thought I had seen it all until  I had to learn the  greatest lesson of love and true friendship, I was amazed to say the least, amazed at the strength I found in myself  for my friend even though the situation crucially affected my own heart. And I’m glad I could be there for him.  I guess now I can understand a little how God must feel- Being there for us even though our current state is hurting him. 

Well it’s a new year, Renewal of my Love for God, a renewal of love and friendship, new pay cheque (Woo Hoo!), So my good people dust of your shoulder and have a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S 2009!

On behalf of  My Life Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for flying with us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice year!

So it's Christmas day.......My excitement died 2 weeks back, got my sexy hair done, my sister is around- I didn't know I had missed her so much, Had a fun night out with the girls last week in some of the so called "IT" places- The view from the Penthouse is beautiful. The running around I had to put up with until yesterday drove me nuts! Driving in so much traffic!!! And I couldn't seem to understand why everybody seemed to be in a hurry, so many careless accidents. Now I'm hibernating, enjoying my solitude in the confinments of my bedroom.

And so I spend today watching "Why did I get Married" 

Have a merry Christmas, And don't forget Jesus is the reason for the season......:-)

How do you Lose it?

Everybody meet "Chewy"!  Isn't she the most adorable baby?

So, I went to visit my favourite aunt which I do at least once a week, and as I walked in she calls me by pet name. Now this is a name I got over twentySomething years ago. I began to wonder to myself if I would ever lose that name……it’s a bit embarrassing having to walk into a living room full of people you know and those you don’t know and you’re being addressed by your pet name, a pet name that sounds like someone blowing a whistle, I think it’s a bit degrading (maybe not the right word) no offence, But I know for sure it's just wrong, especially if you walked in looking like a young madam.  I love my aunt to death no doubt, but she can drop the name now, I mean….I’m old enough to have my own child, and God knows NOBODY is giving my child any silly pet names! 

I've heard people being called all sorts of names from "bambam" to "kuku" (sounds like a chicken) to  "kaka" to "1manriotsquad" (that was my younger brother's name- he was quite destructive).

And it's not just pet names. What about nicknames? how many do you have and how many do you answer to? And what is the essence of a nick name, and how does one lose such? Talking about nick names I've also heard ridiculous names like "jegzy" which I think sounds like BooBs. 

Anyways, I get home to my family friend’s house (after the visit to my aunt) and as I open the door there she was with her big bright beautiful eyes staring at me and her aunt (best mate) yells at her CHEWY! I laugh and shake my head thinking to myself she’s stuck with this name for life……but I think Chewy (she chews anything in sight) sounds kinda cool, I call her Chewy Chocolate…….sounds sweet.

So I went for the experience and I can say it was quite an experience. The blessings from God literally came down. I’m sitting at home now and my forehead feels like it’s going to up and leave my head at any moment…..which would be rather rude of it. I hate being ill, it rarely happens to me, but my body always seems to know when I’ve crossed the line and takes control of itself before I abuse her to stupor. I hope I feel better really soon, My Christmas is definitely going to be a memorable one, thanks to all my loved ones they rock!................Hmmmm, I wonder what I’m getting for Christmas.

PS: No. 2 is sooo a Lie...

Dear Diary.......

I was Tagged by Buttercup to tell two truths and a lie, and you're suppose to figure out the truths and the lie, Well here it goes,  Can't think of anything right now , so i am out rightly stealing one of your lines B.

1. I have had 1 Puppy Love, 1 Ex, 1 Fling and 1 Man. 

2. I had a crush on a girl once.

3. I 've been embarrassed once when the silt in my skirt tore all the way up my ........

That done, it's been a pretty busy month, my Christmas carols reaching a hundred and thirty! Can't wait to see my sister in exactly 18 days, It's been a year since I last saw her, and I've missed her terribly. I honestly need a break, a change of environment and some shop therapy and that's how I intend to start the new year, no doubt about that.

Work is going to be hectic for me for the next two weeks......*exhaling* I can't wait for that to pass. 

Life is full of unexpectancies, I know for sure if I was told I would go through certain things this year, I would have said you're kidding me right? but I guess most of those things we least expect happen for a reason (I am a strong believer of all things working together for good) and that reason is to make us who we are suppose to be. After all :

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED  -  To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

But on a brighter note, I can say I've grown this year in sooooo many ways, and I'm thankful to the people in my life that help me grow into the better person that I am now. I've always loved reading and writing as a child, I had secret diaries and journals but I abandoned them a long time ago when life took its course......I took a bold step and rekindled my love for writing here on blogspot.....and I can say I am happy about it, but it's typing which is a lot different,  I noticed these days due to modern technology one hardly ever handles a pen to actually write more than 1 or 2 lines (sad init?).........In fact I am going to buy a writing book- the ones they used to teach us in kindergarten.

Listening to " Northen Skies- Dido"  I'm in the right mood for work to day........looking forward to the EXPERIENCE on Friday, this is the 3rd time I will be attending, and I tell you it's worth every second of it, You should be there too.
