Day Twenty One! - 30 Day Challenge

How you hope your future will be like

The not too distant future I hope to be working, doing something I enjoy/am interested in, living on my own in a lovely high rise apartment building on the 12th floor or so in Whitby or Ajax or Pickering. Probably still not knowing how to drive and hence not having a car lol.

In the distant future I see myself living in my solar powered house, with wonderful sustainable and environmentally sound elements like bamboo flooring, the use of recycled glass, rain collectors, and things of that sort. I will be married, can't see children right now...who knows, they may just be in their rooms lol. I will be driving and I will own a car. A cute one, like a Mini Coop or a Beetle lol.

In the super distant future, I see myself on a porch swing, rocking back and forth with my husband. Still looking good for my age, healthy, watching my grandchildren (so I guess the children were in their rooms lol), having a cute puppy, a fluffly one, we would have had a chocolate or black lab already, still enjoying my property.

That's what I see, what about you? Where do you see yourself in the future?

Day Twenty! - 30 Day Challenge

Your fears

*inhales deeply....sigh*
Do I have to? Okay, so one fear is being alone (forever). I feel like I have so much love inside of me that I can't keep. I must share it. To be alone (forever) would be devastating. I've been told by somebody that it's impossible for me to be alone. I hope that's true, but with that I also want to say I hope that I'm not unhappy and not alone......because I think I would choose being alone instead of being unhappy.


What do you fear? Do let me know

Day Eighteen! - 30 Day Challenge

A problem that you've had

This problem thankful has not be acting up as much as before, so I'm really grateful for that. I have had an issue with my right wrist. Apparently fluid from my joint collected outside of the joint and added some pressure to my wrist, making it a tad bit uncomfortable but not unbearable to move it. There was a visible depression in my wrist. My doctor, specialist guy, suggested having surgery to remove the fluid, but I opted not to. I would have had a tiny scar, barely noticable, but I still decided not to. As I said earlier, it hasn't been acting up in a while so no worries there.

Want to share a problem you've been having?

Day Seventeen! - 30 Day Challenge

Something you're proud of

This is a tough question to answer. What am I proud of?? After much contemplation and accessing my emotion I think I am going to say that I am proud of my friend Ashni Ramsammy. I know Ashni is a someone not something, but I couldn't think of a thing.

Ashni has been such an inspiration to me in the past few months. This young lady has grown and is continuing to grow and blossom into a fine young lady who is driven, self motivated, decisive, approachable and professional. Ashni knows what she wants in life and she is making strides to get it! Nothing is going to get in her way. If something attempts to she will find a way through it, over it, under it or around it. I am proud of her because of the growth I have seen in her. When I met she was a wonderful young lady but still a fragile flower bud. But throughout the course of our friendship I have watched her grow (and I think I'm allowed to say help her grow as well) into who she is today. Another reason why I am so proud of her is that she has now become such a strong person of character that she can be a rock when I need her. The energy and synergy between the two of us is amazing!

All in all - I am proud of my friend for having a dream and working to make it her reality!


What's something (or someone) you're proud of??

Day Sixteen! - 30 Day Challenge

Something you always think "what if" about


If you know me well enough you should know the answer to this...what if I pursued my dream of being a performer on stage.

If you know me and not even well enough, but if you've seen me on stage you can tell that I love it! I love being on stage whether it be performing or hosting, I was born to be on stage! Sadly the culture back home is not one that heavily promotes The Arts as a livelihood and hence my dreams of being a performer, being an artist, were not supported as much as being an environmentalist. I've never considered myself the best dancer out there. Truth be told in my ballet classes I always thought of myself as the worst of the best. The best because I made it so far, but still in comparison to the other lovely ladies I danced with, I always thought I was the worst. The thing I know I have is stage presence and energy. Many persons have told me that I'm a natural born performer and when on stage it's hard to take your eyes off me. Oh well.

This summer I met someone who is living my dream. He works as a dancer. Gets paid and pays his bill from dancing...and I'm not talking go go dancer, I'm talking legit performer. Meeting him has given me hope that I can persue some sort of my dream of being on stage. I think I'm going to looking to being a part of a musical or something. I'm not the best singer out there, I don't think I'm the worst (I'm not tone deaf), but maybe I can give it a shot and see what will happen. Who knows, my what if may become an I did.


What is a "what if" that's been on your mind for some time?

Relationships

Disclaimer: I am no expert...heck I don't even have legit experience lol. I'm just talking (well typing what's on my mind). If anything doesn't seem to flow, I apologize. I'm a bit of a scatter brain at times.

I came across this website Facts About Boys and found some of the things I looked at a bit interesting. My good friend Ashni posted on her blog (Struggles of the Strong) asking why do guys start getting into a girl and then plap just stop calling and the Facts gave some good indicators to know when a guy has rejected you (I find rejected such a harsh word, but that may be because it happened to me lol). I found it quite humourous actually, that the first indicator of you've been rejected is "he stops calling you/returning or replying to your messages." Okay. Wow. Ouch. Slap in the face much? Yea, it is. I don't get why people aren't open and honest. What if I'm a bit slow and suffer from Delayed Reaction Syndrome and hence pick up on these things a bit later than other people?!? Why can't you just say hey I've got what I wanted, I'm out. Or conversely, I'm just not that into you anymore.

Sometimes I think it's easy for me to say that because I'm a lot tougher (at least in my mind) than a lot of other girls who can't handle the harsh, point blank truth. I don't really like people watering down things or buttering it up. Sometimes the cold hard truth is best. So maybe there's some guy out there who's reading this shaking his head saying these women don't know what they want. It's not that we don't know what we want, it's just that we're all different lol. How does a guy know which woman can handle to point blank truth, and which one can't? Sigh. I guess you pay attention and see how tough they are. But that entails actually paying full attention to them, getting to know them, and that still might lead to pity for getting so far along and then ploop, dropping them. Relationships are complicated. And some people are snakes.


Well that's all the blabbering I'll be doing today. What are your thoughts on my randomness (if it makes any sense at all :S I need to work on that for real). How do you decipher who to be frank with and who needs to have tricks and pointers thrown at them?

Day Fourteen! - 30 Day Challenge

What you wore today


Well, I didn't have to go to work today so for the majority of the day, once I got out of bed I just has on a wrap, tied around my neck and secured with a belt. Later on in the day I had to shoot a video so I wore an army green fitted cargo pants, grey V neck shirt, denim waistcoat (dressed with some badges). I was going for a kinda military look.
