The faith timeframe

What defining moment makes you say 'ok, enough is enough' or has you believe that faith and hope is dwindling and starting to resemble a level of unrealistic expectation? As natural optimists (I like to believe that naturally we are optimists and that in life certain things turn us into pessimists - and not the other way round) I think that we honestly continue to have faith in anything, any person or any situation until such time that something or someone  else distracts us from this into realising that we needn't limit ourselves to only one faith, hope or dream, we can have many, and that if one dream isn't realised - then we can dust ourselves off and pursue another. For so many people in so many situations it is at least a healthy alternative to just never knowing when enough is enough and trying and failing each time with a repeated scenario. I only had to witness this a few times with people I know, to see that we are all the same in this. It's hard to surrender to an outcome we weren't hoping to surrender to, yet the sooner we did, the sooner we'd adapt and the sooner we'd find comfort and happiness even in what you have or will come to have. It also doesn't have to be the end of the world if we don't always get what we want out of life, because humans by nature are ambitious and by having this inbred characteristic - always desire things beyond our means. Well, not necessarily 'beyond' our means. But something that definitely requires work and effort to attain. I guess, the point is when you know you've exhausted your work and effort, sometimes you need to realise that that particular 'need' or 'want' is something that you're going to have to surrender to as being a different outcome that you had originally hoped.

Sex and the City

I have recently taken up the series of SATC in a personal quest to see what all the fuss was about. Well, it's not all Fendi and Dolce after all.... in fact the amazing clothes and labels are there just to show upper east side living, and plus, a well thought out story about the cynicism of a group of best girlfriends when it comes to life, relationships, and sex wouldnt be as entertaining were it filmed in an 'average living' state where where life is very ordinary, let's say. But the story behind the bling bags and high stiletto's has me blushing, laughing, nodding my head a hellova lot (not to mention relating.... to almost every single episode) So, needless to say, I am completely in love with SATC. Carrie, who is a columnist asks the same questions I have run through my very mind in question for so long. It's a great show, I take back the stereotype stigma of the type of person who thrives and lives by it... although I'm pretty sure there are many reasons 'other girls' enjoy it vs my reasons. But it's all good. Chick show to the max, but with the witty intellect to keep me eager at unfolding the next episode each time with regards to relationships and life and the conclusions they come up with. Perhaps... somehow... I might be enlightened :) So far, I have come to know that....... I'm not alone in my ways and ideas when it comes to these topics. Perhaps I should mail copies of the series to the few that think I'm 'different' ....... just saying.

Change it up!

Ok, so this summer's about changing your look.... Stop being boring.. When you look better, you feel better. Do you feel amazing right now? No, change your look, your vibe and essentially (hopefully) you will start to feel better. Easiest way to change your look is with a new haricut or different style sunnies. I am mildly obsessed with  sunglasses at the moment and think that it is an accessory you should be able to change up depending the mood you're in. This summer's mood - vintage. Chic. Whatever. Out with the old, in with the new. If sunnies isnt enough, change your hair colour, lose weight and maybe even pass yourself off as someone else. Hahahaha. Kidding. I don't really give a shit, I just wanted to post cool pics of awesome sunglasses..... :/

3 days...

Thank God it's almost holiday... or the labour law.... or, erm... the birth of Jesus? Ah screw it... whomever is deserving of the gratitude - here it is.. I feel that I am slowly starting to lose patience sooner than usual, my communicative skills are diminishing and the lack of chocolate in my life is making my brain fuzzy and very, very confused. In fact, this endorphin releasing substance is probably what kept me off the 'bitch fence' ... so yeah, what with the diet, detox and fitness vibe, i have started climbing that fence due to a serious lack of 'sweetness' in my system. It happens. But like I said... thank the pope (forgot about him) that holiday is just about here.. Time to switch off to the sounds of 5fm.. and tune into the sounds of my cd's. Time to get out of bed whenever the hell I feel like it and not grab my phone aimlessly when it starts blaring Adrian lux's 'teenage crime' to wake me up. (In the event that I have actually had a decent night's sleep) Yeah - funny how certain given's become luxuries for the uneasy mind. I will go where I like, when I like and not have to worry about who knows where I am... I will not do anything I don't feel like... this is my holiday after all.......... And very soon I will jump in a car and set off on a holiday where I will have an ambivalent feeling of being away for 5 days. But I am so unbelievably certain that I need it. I promise to come back resembling my usual former self.. (non bitch fence) It's time for a change.. maybe a break from here will inspire that... that and lindt chocolate. Just saying..
