Tweet Surprise!

I was surprised to find that one of my blog posts was featured on an online paper called The Life Daily through a tweet. I hardly check my mentions with links as I always think the sender has sent spam and usually they are not worth my time. This particular tweet was interesting in the way it was worded that curiosity got the best of me and I clicked on the link.
I could hardly contain myself when I found out the post was actually there! It is so gratifying and amazing to think someone out there reads and considers your work good enough to feature it on their paper. I had to tell all my friends of course; the excitement we’ve shared over this is insane. I think some of them are a little more excited than I?
I know I don’t sound confident in this because I am NOT. When I started that particular blog, it was due to the support I got from my friends and I think of it as a hobby-something I love to do to to make myself busy and keeping it going is a little hard especially when you have few followers. I guess now it isn’t about followers…hmmm?
This made my day and probably this month. I never expected this even in my wildest dreams. It is such a wonderful surprise and an honor, I thank the people over there for featuring it.

Lunch with friends.

So me and my friends officially celebrated the new year by having lunch. We have this do whereby we go to different restaurants, hangouts etc and have lunch. As I said before; it is a great way to connect and spend a few hours in each others’ company by catching up, gossiping and people watching.
We went somewhere where there was an endless parade of fashionable teens, show offs and certain people who should know better. The food was good and so was the environment. I think the proprietors thought we were going to spend all our money on their services cause we spent a good few hours there ordering this and that.
Here’s a few pictures of me, my friends and all that we had to eat. Nothing beats good food with great company.

The One That Got Away.

I am a huge fan of Katy Perry, her last album ‘Teenage Dream’ was one of my favourite albums from her. I feel like she wrote most of the songs off that album with me in mind and probably her too cause she showed  a lot of passion and love for what she does on this album. She is a fabulous songwriter.

Last year was such a successful year for her and it saddens me cause she ended it on a bad note- she split with her husband Russell Brand. I sometimes wonder why celebrities bother to get married when they are going to divorce each other in a few months. Better to live in sin than regret a year or months of of your life making a mockery out of the sanctity of marriage and the vows that come with. There is really nothing wrong with having a long engagement, is there?!

To get back to the point, I love her song, ‘The One that got away’ at the moment. We all have that one person who you think was/is right for you, the one you would have done anything for just to be together…. It is one of those songs you listen to and end up taking an unwanted walk down memory lane sifting through memories you thought were long forgotten.

The video…can’t get enough of it, I always watch it in entirety when it comes on telly. I hope you like it as much as I do. xoxo

New Year... New Beginnings?

It is a new year and apparently supposed to be a new beginning for everyone of us, a chance to get it right. Do y’all believe that?
I’ve realised that with the onset of a new year, me and my soul sister with a lot of conviction believe; it is going to be “our” year- that everything will come together as we think and wish it to be but that never happens. If anything, some of it goes horribly wrong with no ways of sorting it out.
I don’t know if it is being pessimistic this time round cause I have no expectations whatsoever. Apart of me feels that it is all going to be the same with the exception of growing a year older and gaining the wisdom that comes with age. I am yet to draft some of my resolutions; at the moment, I hardly know what it is I would like to concentrate on aside from my relationship with God. I feel so disconnected and veering off the straight and narrow at a fast yet unknown pace. I need to find the religious, spiritual side of me before it is totally lost. Who are we without the discipline of religion and God?
However pessimistic I might come off in this post, I wish y’all a fantastic 2012 filled with love, good health and lots of happiness. And may God make some of your wishes, desires and dreams come true. Amen.
The "Happy Song" from the smurfs movie is playing in my head as I type this so...
Here is the video for y'all to enjoy.
