So after many and i stress on the MANY attempts to log on to this account, i was finally successful. So here we are in 2012. Welcome and I'm late with the new year greetings. Shall i once again begin blogging? The question remains open and we shall see. So im just checking in and yes i am alive and doing well.
I"m into Photography
Im into photography now, this is my response to M Night killing by favest cartoon "Avatar the last air bender" ....more to come
Its that time again
Yes time is flying by, we are now in the middle of August. Good news , remember my exams? hmmmm did i blog about it? Anyways I passed!! I was entirely shocked, since i only put in 2 weeks of studying. I'm thankful to the almighty. Now on to Financial Accounting and Q.M....I swear im going to at least put in a month studying :)
Hooray!
Me not You
Me not you
I am in charge of my own happiness.
I will make my own destiny.
I will fail at times but failure makes success sweeter.
I will never stop caring for me.
I will succeed.
I will
That’s it right there I will
Not maybe I will
Not I think I will
Just plain and simple
I will
My will
My strength
My life
My journey
Movie Time!
Remember at one time in my life i lived at the movies? Every weekend i would be there in CC8 , popcorn in hand , drink at my side feverishly awaiting the start of some adventure. Then for some reason every time i entered Trinicity mall i felt sick to my stomach, maybe it was my mindset, maybe it was all the carbon dioxide floating around there, maybe it was just me being a wimpy bitch, whatever the case I stopped going. Now I'm back in the Cinema seat but not at CC8, I've upgraded to Movietowne....Its much more expensive...like twice the price of everything, is it worth it however? I would say so . The seats are much more comfortable, the ambiance is great and best of all people have manners. No loud talking , no shouting at the screen, no throwing popcorn just normal people taking in a show.
Anyways back to the Movie Kung Fu Panda 2 ..I have yet to see part one :/ but part 2 was extremely funny. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Jack Black is really -the man-, the way he conveys expression in his voice is so unique and hilarious. I wouldn't mind seeing it a second time.
The best joke : The soot Sayer chewing on the Peacocks coat LOL!!!
Go see it and forget your problems even if its for 1.5 hours , you will feel refreshed at the end.
I'm living on the sun
Seriously this weekend was such a scorcher that i went temporarily insane. I started spinning furiously on my chair hoping to generate some type of whirlwind, it didn't work--I was just left dizzy and sweaty. So i upped and floored it to the mall, but to no avail ...seems like the mall was stuffy hott as well so grabbing some ice cream I left and realized that driving around in the car with the AC on high was the best option to keep kool.
And as usual the rain fell this morning. Monday! after no clouds in the sky all weekend :( , I'm hoping that the long weekend ahead would hold at least one day of rain so i can sleep in and maybe even get to sit outside in it for awhile.
Here's hoping that the week ahead is filled with loads of great stuff :)
Tumblr
I've added a feed widget for my tumblr blog i've just opened, feel free to visit, and amuse yourself. I still have to figure out if i wanna be here or there :/, I love it here plus i've already clocked in 18K visits since I opened this baby up, it'll be hard to just walk away from that. So for now, a little here , a little there.
I'm Back!
Wow been so long right. Life is busy now ....school, work plus balancing everything else.
Tristan started pre-school Monday past, wasn't he just born? Time really does just fly by, he's growing up so quickly and everyone is one step closer to becoming ashes. Scary thought i know.
I went NYC...fuck yes! It was awesome, not how i imagined it to be, personally I prefer London.
Have lots of stories to write, lots of stories to tell for now I'm just checking in ( i say that alot and then poof I'm gone for another couple months lol) But honestly my brain needs to get those gears moving again, and writing may help.
BTW i suck at school, nothing sticks...I suck at studying also ...I'm scared for exams ...I don't want to fail but failure is an inevitable part of life....
I came off Facebook ...why cause I'm too addicted, I'm always up in there playing Zuma trying to beat someones score gosh i wasted too much time there, I'll go back maybe in a couple months. In the mean time i Tweet so follow me Duran_Icewolf ...if you dare of course...and don't mind pretty mundane tweets..lol
So many things to touch on...so little time...I'll be back before the day is up ...I hope
Better Late than Never
Our Xmas tree home
Lovely Wreaths in the living room
Santa and his reindeer plus balls
3 wisecracking snowmen
Merry Christmas!!!Here are some brief pics of my Xmas decos. Not much to say about it lol, I think Christmas came and went in a blur of red and green. I didn't enjoy it as much as i usually do because of the rush of things. This year i promise to be better prepared so in the days before i wont be running around like a crazee man on crack looking for presents instead i'll kick back and relax.

Why do people ...
Why do people discourage rather than encourage? Whats so hard in saying "well good for you, I'm sure once you put your mind to it , you'll be able to do it" instead of "yuh sure you want to do that? But you need to have math in order to accomplish anything, it might be difficult, yuh sure you have the money to do that?"
Let me rewind....I've decided to pursue a diploma in Business Management , I've already made all the necessary arrangements to sign up for this course in Nov. one of the requirements is a job letter stating your duties and the length of time you have been employed with said company. I'm entering through the "mature route" . I do not have a pass in Math, and i don't think i ever will since Math is such a difficult subject for me, I know the basics of course but i could never see myself needing to build a bridge anytime soon for me to want to know the rest of the concepts.
All this was of course discussed with the personnel at the school who advised me that English is given priority in this course rather than Math ( English i am good at :D) so blah blah blah long story short. My co worker insist that in order for me to be anywhere remotely successful in this course i NEED to have a pass in Math. Well i say to her "boooo" Usually words like hers would make me pack up and not do the course, but that's the old me, the new me says bitch imma show you , imma show all of you that i can be successful in whatever I've put my mind to.
So here's wishing me good luck!
Funnn
I just drank 1.5 liters of "Blue Waters" water, dancing this song and pretending to be slizzard-ed.....
Muse
"And when tears are shed from the eyes of the moon, the earth will shed its skin and we will all be no more....."
So out of the blue, I'm staring at my facebook page and these words come dancing into my head. It can only mean one thing...My muse is back!!
I've been complaining alot lately that i have no motivation to start or finish anything creative, i feel as if something is missing -the force that usually pushed me forward- the same force that would randomly put thoughts in my head, words not of my own. Words that need to scribble down ASAP before they disappear. I feel as if its back , now let the fun begin :)
Weekend Heat
Although parts of the country got a serious dosage of rain, the little nook I'm in got blistering sun...just thinking about it makes me sweat a little. Both Saturday and Sunday were so extremely hot that i hardly did anything but laze around in the hammock hoping that the odd wind would pass and cool me down. In other words this weekend was uneventful....wait...*headslap* I saw my ex ....yup after 2 odd years of being broken up , our paths crossed while i was shopping with my sister.
Awkward is one way to describe it ...i did not speak to her, my sister however blabbed on and on ...I was just standing there , pretending to be looking at shampoo ( of all things) , she left, then i got the sharpest jab in my ribs and a scolding for not saying hello...I watched her walk away , something odd happened then and there ...I felt deep within me something stirring ...i don't know what it was, but it left me feeling guilty and "bad"....I quickly pushed it aside with a Kit Kat bar ....TGFC ( thank god for chocolate)
Ughhhh
Seriously people make me feel like crap sometimes, like I'm nothing, lower than nothing, like i should be guilty for just breathing....why do i always let someones words or attitude get to me like that? Ughhhhh self confidence is the word and lacking it is my game....(does that even make sense?)
Take for instance the witch, once i showed up to work on casual Fridays with an American Eagle polo...she looked at me and said in the most surprised tone " is that American Eagle? " to which i replied yes and then she further asked " like real American Eagle?" ....I of course said yes and she just rolled her eyes and walked away....it left me feeling as if i wasn't worthy enough to be wearing that polo...I mean WTF!!! Was i too low on her society pyramid to be wearing it? **sigh**
I have many other examples but i rather not relive them at this point. All i wanna do i curl up in a corner and cry. Boo on the world...
Meat Dress
I Love me some GAGA, but this meat dress ---it doesn't shock me ---but it sort of disgusts me...i mean wearing meat...raw, unprocessed meat...how was it smelling? I can hardly stand the smell at the butcher's shop so i imagine they had to have used some sort of curing process on this dress. Her statement however i love, we need to stand up for something or else we won't even be worth the meat on our bones and will be treated as such..booyah!...I still don't like the dress *queasy*
Critical Thinking
Recently i came across a book in work that's supposed to help you be a critical thinker in 25 days, well not a complete transformation but it implants the basic foundation to change your thinking. So far it really interesting and challenges me to question my mind. At the end of it I'm supposed to come out more confident and a better conversationalist....I have no idea whether it will work out or not but what the hey, I'm giving it a try. The first lesson is to show more empathy towards your fellow human being...I'll let you know how that turns out k.
Time, Time Time
Time is flying, spinning out of control..its scary...one minute it was July and suddenly its September....either I've gotten so lazy that time just decided to leave me on the way side or no one is noticing that it has in fact sped up.
While i ponder this "time warp" the good news -CHRISTMAS is closer , its 102 days till the jolly day, but the season starts for me in October. Xmas to me is a season rather than a day, so this year i intend to enjoy each day of the season, as you may have guessed its my most favest time of year, so intend to savor each moment, because of this time warp , it'll be gone in two shakes of a rabbit tail.
