Happy Reunion

 Hooray !!!! Hump day,  for some strange reason this is my favorite day of the week. And according to my schedule I should be somewhere locked up in between book shelves trying to burst my brains out. 

If your anything like me, reading does not come easy, but reading makes us different so its necessary.  No, I am not about to rant, I by no means desire to bore you with the details so am just going to go ahead and share the post.

 For the couple of months, I have been feeling like my heart is at the right place. Everything that has somewhat happened has brought me new joy, new acquaintances, new feelings n the likes. However I recently reunited with a long lost girlfriend and boy had I missed her soul.

" The best mirror in the world is an old friend "

The truth in this quote was realized over a cup of coffee, the old tales, jokes and just opening up was just what I needed to make me see me from someone else eyes.

1)Martha, still has got lots of investigative questions.(working on that by the way)

2)She still is a coffee addict :)

3)She has become so philanthropic. (It comes with the age)

 Old flames die hard, I still love this girl to bits. She was a part of me and is still someone I would love to grow old sharing secrets, moments and smiles with. 

Through it all, I learned a great lesson ,
                 
In times of uncertainty , drink coffee  *_*

YESTERDAY !!!

Aaaargh!!! I feel so busy these days!!!   But thanks God I have this page to share some few words with my 70 readers ,  ^_^ lol yes I counted ..... Keep reading . 

I feel like I need a weekend after the weekend , its just ridiculous how soon Monday comes . August is really flying by  for me . Like any other person, am slacking on my new year resolutions 2013 and the year is coming to an end . If there is one thing I like about the end  of the year is, of course, My Birthday and The Holidays plus that Bucketlist :))) .

Yesterday I was determined to have some kind of different fun , and truth be told I did . I visited The Bomb blast memorial park and there was much to please the eyes . The park was established to commemorate the dead and the survivors of the August 7th bombing . I was surprised by how much I liked what I saw , the small park was peaceful . In there was  'Poetry in the park'  An open microphone event for spoken word and music . Listening to this live can only be described in one word , breathtaking .I was so inspired by the words , music and poetry. 

Later , I was at the phoenix players to watch a play . First off , I would recommend play watching to every human soul in the universe , being live ....... one is able to be in it, literally . Its been so long since I last went to the theatre and I felt the need to, plus a  good friend of mine was acting :)) 
I went with my sister , Pawa'n and she watched it with tearful eyes , ok lol maybe the ending . I would conclude and say we both really enjoyed .

The play 

 

The Play is showing at the phoenix players 

Great cast 

The cast 

No spoilers!!! 

All I have to say for now is that I think I have found myself some new hobbies, quite amazing I must add ; one resolution down, a couple more to go. Lesson learnt is there is something worth seeing, something worth doing and someone worth meeting around every corner.

*muchos gracias*

Once upon a song

I have always said to myself  that am well too bred to get furious . But when I began this piece I was so mad I wanted to crash my phone. I have somehow always thought that it would make me feel much better , smh !! Growing up I learnt this saying ' Loud music covers away the darkness ' so I put on my headphones and was ready to be taken away .

 A couple of songs and my thoughts are running in frenzy ..... longing , nostalgia , bliss. I have mixed feelings about all the feelings I'm feeling . My fingers stopped typing these last 10 minutes , there is an internal battle with my mind . Initially when I began writing I meant for this to be a collection of short stories because sometimes I read a book and I think I'm the people in the book . I know its absurd but I believe people are the happiest making art or making love , spending as much time as you would like in the imaginary world of our day dreams . I always find myself thinking there is got to be more than the world I am living .

Yesterday my mother put the most beautiful yet simple words in a text for me . I could not fight back the tears. As a female I am allowed to have some of this emotional changes and tides . Some of my moods maybe cured by chocolate , wine , good music . I find myself trying to escape who I am at times but I have known happiness but also recognize wallow . Truth is we all got bruises caused by our life crisis. My favorite song Collide - Howie Day has one of the most honest statement , ' Even the best fall down sometimes' .

Music can open eyes , change hearts , change the world . Life comes with no guarantees , no time outs , no second chances . For the lessons taught by the trials are the times in our lives that pose as the greatest tests of our character . Take risks . Fail , fail hard . Even the moon has a dark side . At the end of the day there is a song that will lift your spirit , relate to you . You never walk alone . 

Although now most of my days are spent alone , I am not without my best friend , I am the girl with the headphones on , smiling to herself , looking into the world .

May the bad be in your past ..... Listen to more music , watch more sunsets.
