Never smile at a crocodile

"Inspired" by BeeStink

Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile
You may very well be well bred
Lots of etiquette in your head
But there's always some special case, time or place
To forget etiquette
For instance:
Never smile at a crocodile
No, you can't get friendly with a crocodile
Don't be taken in by his welcome grin
He's imagining how well you'd fit within his skin
Never smile at a crocodile
Never dip your hat and stop to talk awhile
Never run, walk away, say good-night, not good-day
Clear the aisle but never smile at Mister Crocodile

Human

I just realized that i am a normal human being.
I am just like everyone else.
I hope you know that and remember that.

Love Etc.

When I was younger, I thought I knew all about love. I talked about it, read about it and watched it... Or more like versions of it.

Now older and slighty wiser, I know that love isn't all about good times and happy endings.

Love is about acceptance of the other persons shortcomings and loving them despite of it.

Love is about trust and forgiveness and learning from past mistakes and moving along together instead of moving apart.

Love is about growing together emotional and spiritually.

Love is about putting the other persons needs before your needs and giving them the best you can possibly give.

Love is embracing and sharing each others differences instead of fighting over it.

Love is taking care of the other person and looking out for them.

Love is about walking together on the same journey eventhough you may take different paths to get to the destination.

Love is discovering the magic in the simple.

As each day passes, I learn something new about love and I hope that I will continue to learn and to experience this wonderful, crazy, little, big thing called love.

Sorrow looks back,

Worry looks around,

But faith looks up!

Live simply,

love generously,

care deeply,

speak kindly

and trust in our Creator who loves us.

Walking Back

I walked back in time again today.
I strolled through friendster and hotmail
and browsed through old memories.

And it made me cringe. It made me wonder...
Evaluate... Tear up a little...
Hurt some... And of course remember.

I remember the girl I was.
I remember the friend I was.
The one who smiled more and worried less.
The one that had so many friends.
The carefree adventurer.

So just for that few moments,
I walked back and tried to remember...
and later once I was done, I tried my best to leave the past where it belonged.

But sometimes against my will, the past comes back to haunt me and yet there are other times when these memories come flooding back to me to act as a soothing balm over old wounds that never healed right.

I think these walks to the past are needed every now and then to remind me of a great many things; the fragility of life, the intricacies of relationships, the hopefulness of youth, the joys in the simple things, the small victories and joys overlooked and forgotten and the happiness and blessings one has recieved over the years.

I am thankful for these occasional walks back that I take every now and then... and its great to know and realise that I am looking ahead and walking forwards towards the hopeful unknown, with a select few happy memories as my companion on this journey.

Arghhh...

ARGHHHH!!!

I hate cockroaches!

They should all just die!!!

I hate the end of the weekends as well.

I wish there were more days in a weekend.

Spreading Magic

I have...
So many things I want to write about.
So many projects I want to begin.
So many things I want to clear, clean and arrange.
So many ideas floating around in my mind.
So many books to read.
So many DVDs to watch.
So many places to see.
So many arrangements to make.
So many moments to capture.

I feel excited.
I haven't felt this way in awhile.
I think it's the Christmas Spirit spreading its magic *grin grin*

He is near

Have confidence in God's mercy,

for when you think He is a long way

from you, He is often quite near.
