To the 'Boys'

Here's to all the boys in the world...

WAKE UP!

Some of you don't know a good thing when you have it.

I know that it might seems that I am generalising BEEG time, but I'm not, this is to the 'boys' in the world, the ones who can't call themselves men, because they still need a lot of growing up to do.

So here it is...

You say that girls are difficult to understand, but you are more so!

We play games?

What about when you tell us with your lips that you care, and turn around and use those same lips to kiss someone else! (figuratively speaking)

We are all human, yes, we make mistakes, but sometimes it just seems as if you have NOOO concept of how a girl thinks or feels.

So here are some 'secrets'.

Girls are fragile. We may act all tough and seem that we can take on the world, but the truth is we can't. I'm not saying that we are weak, but just that we aren't as tough as we appear. So treat us with care.

We can't take indecisiveness. Either you want to be with us or you don't. There is no -"Wait for me", or "I don't know what I want right now", because most of the time, we know for sure and for certain that we wanna be with you, and it breaks our hearts to think you don't feel the same. Especially when you act like you wanna be with us when we may be alone together.

We are princesses (even when we don't see it ourselves), and deserve to be treated as such. But we also give you the benefit of the doubt if you don't. We don't want gifts, flowers or soppy love letters, those things are nice, but its what's behind them that really matters. The thought that a guy would make a fool of himself, just to show a girl he cares, that's what makes it special.

The girl who is by your side, doesn't wanna just be by your side, she wants to be part of your life, and wants you to be part of hers.

She is waiting for you to make the first move.

She wants to open up her heart to you.

She is hoping that you'll change.

But she's also scared that you'll hurt her.

The more she lets you in, the more it hurts when you leave...


Is it really that difficult to understand us? Or do you pretend that you don't because you don't wanna really see?

Be a man.

That is all.

Cosmic love

A song I first heard on "So you think you can dance" my new favourite song :D


A falling star fell from your heart and landed in my eyes
I screamed aloud, as it tore through them, and now it's left me blind

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

And in the dark, I can hear your heartbeat
I tried to find the sound
But then it stopped, and I was in the darkness,
So darkness I became

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

I took the stars from our eyes, and then I made a map
And knew that somehow I could find my way back
Then I heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too
So I stayed in the darkness with you

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

The stars, the moon, they have all been blown out
You left me in the dark
No dawn, no day, I'm always in this twilight
In the shadow of your heart

Searching

For many days, she searched for it

But yet she could not find,

That thing that she longed for most.

But what?

It slipped her mind.

She searched for it among the trees,

She listened for its song.

She thought she heard a whisper,

But like the breeze

It was gone.

She searched for it in the sand

And in the oceans roar.

But all she found were pebbles,

The sea mist,

No more.

She searched for it in lovers' arms,

But lovers hearts grew cold.

Would she find what she was searching for

Before she became

Too old?

At last she came upon a place,

Broken and undone.

Where the searchers seek and find

What is longed for

In the Son.

Just some thoughts...

Well now, my resolve to post something more often seems to have failed yet again (sigh).

Life seems to be just rolling faster faster, the faster it is the faster it gets :) Its nearly the end of June, and nearing the time to head on a plane to the beautifully romantic city of ROME!!! AHHH... Excitement! Nerves! Absolute suspense! But before then, real life and duty calls, yet I just cannot think of work at all, and find my mind drifting more often than not to images of tomorrow and what may come...

One more week of school and my darling little monsters, then 3 weeks of freedom and Italy with my best friend and sister Cait :) eep...Gonna miss the monsters though, but in no time it will  be back to work as usual so won't really be thinking about that.

My monsters aren't the only ones I'm gonna miss when I'm away... I'll be leaving some special people behind, one in particular I would loooooove to take with me to that most romantic city ;) hehehe. But hey, what's that about absence making the heart grow fonder??? Let's hope :)

Will hopefully post something from Italy while I'm there... CAN'T WAIT :) can you tell?

Weddings!

Well, here it goes. A little look into my life, and well, trying to capture the special and the seemingly mundane moments along the way!

Friday was the wedding of my cousin, whom we thought would always be ' the bachelor'. We were wrong thankfully, as a strong, beautiful Afrikaans lass made him reconsider his bachelor ideas.

Wow!

 The wedding took place in the gorgeous setting of 'Red Ivory Lodge', which inspired some great photo's (if I do say). I was not sure what to expect, and well, we were given the unexpected.

A black and white wedding dress, an open air chapel overlooking Hartjies, a koi pond in the middle of the dance floor and a wedding cake that turned our tongues bright red!

Here are some of my favourite snapshots for the day:

Congrats to Cayle and Marlise! May you have many happy years together that are as special as you are :)

Another Day, Another Dream...

Firstly, I am a dreamer at heart, it spills into my waking life and keeps life interesting for myself and those around me.

In dreams you can be all who you want to be. No restrictions, no limits. It's not easy to live real life like that though. We are told what we can and cannot do. What's appropriate for someone of our age, size, gender... I want to know when life became so limiting.

When you ask most people, they probably wouldn't say they were living, they'd say they were surviving. Doing what needs to be done, in order to get where they assume they need to be.What's the point then? We don't call this 'survive' we call it life, so we should be living not just surviving.

How can we switch though, from survival mode to living mode? I for one don't have the answer, but I can't help but think that it has something to the aspect of leaving the limitations behind, being the person you want to be, even if those around you don't appreciate it. Easier said than done though I guess, but if we can do it in our dreams, why not try in real life?

Most days I feel tied down to obligations, expectations, limitation from others, but seriously when I let go, and     say to myself that all that doesn't really matter, that I was meant to live and not just survive, I become a different person, lighter, more carefree, more alive.

The things in this Life will eventually pass away, and one day when I get to the Throne of God and He asks me what I've done with my life, I don't want to say: "Well, I survived", I want to be able to say, "I lived".
