Well!! Two and half years later and look who decides to
start blogging again. So stunned that I remembered my password. For now I am
going to use my blog as a diary, just typing up whatever until I get the hang
of it again. I would love to find one specific thing to write about each week. Something
that interests me and many others. Like exercising maybe? I just need to get a
hold of my eating habits I suppose. And I probably need to get myself to put
some blood, sweat and tears into things that matter to me, doesn’t matter how
small. Especially reading and writing. I think even just opening Blogger again
was a good start. So proud! It is definitely <b>a</b> <b>new start</b> <span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">:)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic";">I realized that this is my last blog post for Media Studies 3 for the year and felt a sense of relief…but then I asked myself…will I ever blog again? The answer is not yet clear to me but I probably will. Not as often as we had to though.</span></div>

Thought the time will never come but we worked hard, made good friends and made even better memories. What an awesome year this was, will never forget all the moans and groans and extension requests, or the jokes and stories and the ‘getting out of work’ schemes. Hahaha lovit! What a privilege it was experiencing my final year of study with a group like you. </span></div>

<span class="googqs-tidbitgoogqs-tidbit-1googqs-tidbit-hilite"><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun;">“<b>Of all the forms of courage, the ability to laugh is the most profoundly therapeutic.</b> Yes</span></span><span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun;">, things can go wrong in life. Yes, there are issues and problems to solve. But we have a choice. We can choose to become pessimistic and not see the value in what we experience, or we can choose to laugh as an admission to the fact we are not perfect and life can get the best of us at times. What a relief to know that no matter how bad things may look, a smile or a rift of laughter can begin to make the circumstances feel better.” – Dr. Gordon Livingston</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun;">Definitely!! I live on laughter and positive vibes (with good music playing in the background of course), as this makes everything seem so much easier and worth your while…and more fun. So laugh your ass off whenever and wherever you can. Most importantly, learn to laugh at yourself as well!!</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-82960523877092825852011-10-30T09:12:00.001-07:002011-10-30T09:12:15.057-07:00My Hidden Emotions – Sarina Adams<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">“No matter your past, change is the essence of life. In order to move forward in life we need to learn to live in the present.” – Dr. Gordon Livingston</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This is based on the fact that our childhood experiences mould us to who we are today. Letting go of some experiences (bad) are difficult. We connect many memories to the things we do in our daily lives because we are shaped by our childhood and thus repeat what we have learned as a child, or avoid what we have experienced. Certain things have certain meanings to different people because of past experiences; they connect the meaning and feeling to that particular situation. I think this can happen consciously and subconsciously.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">We must change our mindset in order to let go of negative past experiences. Even change in behaviour and attitude as well as choices can better our feelings and perceptions towards certain things, as this will help to get over things that bother you…but we must create the willingness and power to do so, because it comes from within.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span lang="EN-ZA"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">When walking in the road and you fall into a hole, sometimes you struggle to get out. Next time you walk down that road and you see that same hole, cross the road and go walk on the other side.</span></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Yeah, and if it’s not happening quickly, it definitely feels like it. Accidentally falling pregnant, that happens quickly right?? :-O haha! I remember when I was in my car accident, that happened super fast, and 2-3 hours later I was booked into the hospital. Now, I am trying to get rich, and that is a good thing ne?...but noooo it’s taking forever. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Seriously, good things are worth enjoying the ride for, which is what makes it so exciting. I know we get impatient, but how you get there is what makes it worth your while to then enjoy. Embrace the bad things and don’t take it to your heart, because there might just be something special coming out of it. So don’t be sad or upset when something bad happens, it’s normally just to make space for the GOOD that is coming your way.</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-88773485879478445512011-10-14T03:46:00.001-07:002011-10-14T03:46:43.516-07:00Bryce Lawrence – Not so much!<div class="MsoNormal" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; line-height: 150%; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: Arial;">Except for the fact that we all believe in a higher being, whether it is God or not, I still think you yourself are the bold and mighty force that will come to your own aid. God is the guide that leads you to those choices, even your friends and family, but at the end you are the master of your own choices. You pick yourself up or throw yourself back down, you DO or you </span><stockticker><span style="font-family: Arial;">DON</span></stockticker><span style="font-family: Arial;">’T. You will decide on your own courage and bravery and in the end create and mould your own destiny, as well as challenge yourself to be a better you. The God and the forces within you will come to your aid.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">What is it about love that drives us crazy?? The feeling of being wanted and adored or the feeling knowing you have someone to share everything with? Maybe it is that feeling we get when that person touches or kisses you or tells you that they love you…you now that warm fuzzy feeling.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I think most of the time it is the excitement of wanting and experiencing love that draws us towards it in the first place, a junky for the chase of that cute guy or girl, getting his/her attention…the rest just follows as normal as if it is protocol, and then they live happily every after!!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Everybody (or actually most people) isn’t always that lucky, sometimes you must get hurt before you can find the right ‘one’. Just be careful not to make a game out of it.</span></div>

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 16pt;">My new found glory and happiness lies in the lyrics and musical talent of these three guys. Most people are familiar with the song “Pumped Up Kicks”, but for me literally all their songs put me at ease and smack a great big mother f-ing smile on my face. I can’t help to shout along and dance like a crazy person when I listen to their music. If you listen with only one ear there will be sounds, beeps and bleeps, chimes and words you will fail to hear. I bought the CD yesterday, and haven’t stopped listening to it since. I can’t choose my favourite song, but it is probably “Helena Beat”. Further take a listen to “Call It What You Want”, “Waste” (Very inspirational song), “I would do anything for you”, and “Don’t Stop”. Guaranteed awesomeness!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 16pt;">Everything seems to be coming together, but just not quite yet. A few more tiny steps to go then I’ll get there. The place I want to be, the place I’ve been working very hard towards for the last few years. It’s still a vision, but I can see the silhouette becoming much clearer everyday. It is creeping closer and closer, as if it has a hidden agenda, and before you know it SUCCESS bites you on your ass, grabs you by the life and follows you everywhere you go. Great things are written in the books of those who want it, I want it. I don’t trend with the others, cause then I’m a follower. I just sit and laugh at those who do.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I am very embarrassed to say that I have never ever in my
life read one of The Cat in the Hat books. I went to Google it, since I have no
idea what it is about or how many books there are. I do believe I recognize the
actual drawing of the cat and do recall the name “Dr. Seuss”.</span>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I was into Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, The Lion
King, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Toy Story and Bambi
books. Never have I laid eyes on this Cat in the Hat you speak of, but yeah I
have heard of it.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;">I will make it my life mission this week to go take out
at least one Cat in the Hat book and actually read it. It looks amusing, when I
got to the actual web-site of Dr. Seuss they had this funky beat playing in the
background and games you can play. (I
played one hehe). Apparently I have a gap in my education until I read these
books.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 150%;"> </span></div>

"The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve.
Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An
important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative
thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change.
Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay
where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your
friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase
you will eventually decrease you.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; line-height: 200%;">Consider this: Never receive counsel
from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of
contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are
always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life.
You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with
the wrong person. Don't follow anyone who is not going anywhere. With some
people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you
stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who
fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will
learn how to howl, but if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar
to great heights. </span></div>

but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses."
The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you
closely associate - for the good and the bad. Note: Be not mistaken. This is
applicable to family as well as friends". -Colin Powell.</span></div>

Even when you are super full and waiting for you jeans’ button to pop off and your belly to drop to the ground, you always have left over space for dessert. I do that, my friends do that, and my family too. I suppose there are many more of you who also after stuffing your face and begging for mercy, you still grab that chocolate cake, ice cream or brownie when all the food is gone. </span><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I just did that now. Telling my family that I can’t eat one more bite or I’m tickets and they will have to take me to the hospital. The next thing I knew there was Ferrero Rocher and other chocolates in front of my green, ready to blow up face. Then, there I was with a chocolate ball eating it with ease </span><stockticker><span style="font-family: Arial;">AND</span></stockticker><span style="font-family: Arial;"> enjoying it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">So, this is my theory.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You have your stomach, and when you eat food (not pudding) it fills up your tummy and you feel full…BUT!! You have this little empty pocket or bag hanging right next to your stomach made especially for dessert or sweets, and when the right time comes, the pudding goes there. Thus you will always have more than enough room for your dessert never mind how much you had to eat. </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-hansi-font-family: Arial; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"></span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-16185771374613638442011-09-11T06:32:00.001-07:002011-09-11T06:32:48.712-07:00Bucket list – 100 things to do before you die?<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; mso-fareast-font-family: SimSun;">I don’t have 100 things what I want to do before I die, but I do have a few things I want to do that will mean the world to me.

</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Gautami;">I really badly dislike a landline telephone. Whenever it rings I just yell…MAAAAAMMA!! PAAAAAPPA!! TELEFOON LUI!!...and then I ignore it.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Gautami;">I don’t like getting up to answer it and I definitely don’t like spending to much time on it, because I was obviously busy with something before you phoned. You also can’t see who is phoning and maybe it is someone you don’t want to talk to. Sometimes I tell my parents if it is for me they should tell the person I am not home, but they never do because they say they aren’t going to lie for me hahaha.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 14pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Gautami;">Why do you think I have a cellphone, if you are looking for me you can contact me via i-cell-u-lar a thank a you!!

I will do anything I possibly can in my future to live out this dream. It is the most important thing to me after my family and my very close friends.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">If you hadn’t guessed it by now, my huge, gigantic, enormous, great big fat dream is to work with animals. Yes!!! If you know me you probably had it right from the start. My passion, not just my dream is to work with and save animals for the rest of my life. To go with that I would like to find the creepy, dirty low life humans who abuse any kind of animal and lock them up for life. I want to poach the poachers and save the rhino’s!!!! I want to free the lions and let the dolphins and sharks ride the waves in peace forever. The dogs and cats that stay with their owners even when mistreated, I want to give them a home.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">My friend and I are planning on buying a farm to house all homeless and abused pets, and to provide them with a sweet loving and caring home. I know there are thousands of homeless and abused animals out there, but luckily there are many people like me out there willing to lend a helping hand. I know I am not alone.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 11pt;">Thus I want to be involved with house pets and wild life. I literally freak out when I go to visit a bird park or an animal sanctuary, and jump up and down like a little girl. I know I will always get that ‘feel good feeling’ for the rest of my life when I live my BIG FAT life-sized dream!! Can’t wait!!!</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-36218865725023223542011-08-26T03:00:00.001-07:002011-08-26T03:00:38.903-07:00Don’t complain about a problem, fix it.<span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14pt;">People tend to complain a lot, everyday in fact. I know because I am one of them. How nice it is to complain about something, because it makes you feel better and gives you a reason not to do or go forward with whatever it is…but is only makes you feel better for a very short while. Then you start stressing about it again and start to complain from scratch.</span> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14pt;">One thing we love doing except complaining, is to not fix the problem or thing we complain about. We just complain and do fokololo about it. We just sit and wait for it to go away or wait for some poor old good hearted human being to fix it for us. I think that is just wrong and shows us how lazy we actually are (hehe ai).</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: "Century Gothic"; font-size: 14pt;">So next time you open that mouth of yours to complain about something, ask yourself: Have I tried to do something about it? If not shut it and fix it. Then you won’t have any reason to complain and waste you breathe.</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-74966919225662317672011-08-26T02:58:00.001-07:002011-08-26T02:58:10.415-07:00Conventional is a good fallback position isn’t it?<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Definitely! What better to do when you are out of your comfort zone to fall back onto what is accepted by society? To get back into that space where you basically blend in and you don’t feel like you are an outsider is great!! To have a routine and to know what is going on is awesome.</span> <div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">But is it really??</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You’re not weird, everybody else is just normal. You’re not weird, everybody else just don’t have the imagination you have. You’re not weird, they are ordinary. What if standing out like a sore tit isn’t so bad after all. Sure you will be feeling the pressure, but in the end YOU will be EXTRAordinary and YOU will be the one everybody is talking about. YOU will be looked up to, because YOU had the courage to be different, to not just fall back and blend in, but to stand up and say what is on your mind. Even when people giggle and point, you kept on going.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">You stood out, where the rest were at the back to scared to show their face. People don’t like change and they don’t like things that are different. So if you are different, people are most likely going to push you away and look at you with funny faces. There are only so many ‘different’ people out there. The ‘different’ people become the masterminds and the leaders, the decision makers and the go-getters, the people who fight and don’t ever back down. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">It is not bad being a conventionalist, to have a routine or to stick to with what you know. Just try to take a chance every once in a while. To be different.</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-69404569119338028282011-08-18T06:37:00.000-07:002011-08-18T06:37:25.236-07:00Death by dreaming.<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Do you believe that your dreams mean something much more than only that it is a dream? Some people say when you dream of someone getting married, someone in reality will die…or the other way around.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Well, either way, if you believe or not, what do you make of this dream I had Saturday night? When I woke up Sunday morning I felt rattled and shocked and very disgusted and confused – basically I was an emotional time bomb.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">I’ll try to keep this as short as possible…(But it is quite long, so read it if you dare)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">It stated where my mom, my dad and I were at an airport trying to check in under secret/false names. The airport employees bought it but told me I have to leave my dog behind. Before I could start fussing and make a scene they took Skollie from my arms and away somewhere, somewhere I didn’t know.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Then… (Completely different from the airport scenario)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The next thing I knew I was moving to a strange place with my friend Mariska. The town almost looked like </span><place><city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Tokyo</span></city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">, </span><country-region><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">India</span></country-region></place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;"> or </span><city><place><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Bangkok</span></place></city><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">. Maybe a mix, you know, where everything is built so close to each other and everything looks dirty and untidy.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">We went to a photo shop, I don’t know why, and found ourselves in the presence of a few strange men carrying a strange bottle with weird dark milky looking liquid in. We waited patiently at the counter for the men to finish with their business. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">but…</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">The one man handed us shot glasses with a cocky smirk on his face that made me feel very uncomfortable. Mariska whispered in my ear that I must be polite with these men because they are very dangerous. She told me that they are murderers and rapists who torture their victims before killing them. She also told me that they kill animals for fun and that apparently they take photos of all their crimes and develop them there in that very shop.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">My eyes followed the counter to where the men were standing looking through lots of pictures. That is when I saw it, all the photos of the tortured and raped dead girls and women. On their faces I could see the pain. Their naked body covered in deep cuts so that there is almost no skin left. The men were laughing and drinking their shots.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Mariska and I pretended to engage into a conversation, hoping these men would leave. The one guy looked at men, and out of stress and fear I asked: “What are you drinking?”. He just laughed and on his cracked lips I could see, the liquid in the bottle, it was blood, it was blood from all their victims. They were drinking it, making them feel powerful and in control. That is when I realized…they have my dog, they have Skollie. (I think this is where the airport scenario fits in.)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">When they left I spoke to the guy that helped them, seeing on his face that he was so frightened of them that he was shitting in his pants. I begged and pleaded for him to help me and tell me what to do, because they have my dog and they are going to kill him.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Finally he told me that they normally go on a three week killing spree and disappears again for three weeks. He said that it just started again and that the only reason he is alive is because he develops their photos and shuts up. He gets to live because he is a coward. He told me to go to some pharmacy and that there is a lady that will give me what I want.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Suddenly I was at this pharmacy looking place that was actually also a photo shop, but there was a man following me. I knew he was part of the rest of the killing gang, but I just smiled and walked along. Then a woman from behind the counter called me and told the man she wants to see me alone, she wants to see me about womanly things. I followed her behind the counter and up the escalator. I waited in the door by the escalator as she went into the next room. She came back with two envelopes. Both of them had my name and surname written on them. I opened it, it was photos, and lots of it. They were more photos of the killing gang and their victims. I rushed to get them out, because I knew there would be photos of Skollie in there. There was!! Lots!! He was alive, but wouldn’t be for much longer. As I looked through the photos I came across a photo of eight rottweiler puppies. In the next photo they were all rapped in bloody towels, dead. The very last photo was of a man dragging a half alive girl with a bloody mouth and a broken jaw somewhere. She had a vague look in her eye, as if she had already given up.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Next we were at a woman’s birthday party. I remember her turning 27 but she looked about 40. I never got to see her face and I can’t remember her name. Again, those men showed up looking for their next target. I just started to sing “Happy Birthday” out loud out of panic, hoping they would leave. They shouted at me demanding more wine. I took a bottle with the intention of whacking him over his head, but couldn’t. As I poured him his glass of wine, not knowing it would be his last, the police stormed in arresting all of these men. The head of police came to me thanking me and told me if it wasn’t for me they would never have found the killers. He instructed me to go with him immediately to the men’s flat/hideout.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">As we arrived there the ambulance was busy carrying their last, but luckily alive victim, out on a stretcher, on her way to the hospital. She was cut up, raped and bloody, just like in the photos, but the difference was…she was breathing and will live to remember it for the rest of her life. As I turned to face the front door of the flat I saw Skollie! He came running to me like a happy little puppy, but jumped on me and gripped me tight around my neck and shoulders, pushing his face into my neck and making these little moaning sounds. He was shaking, I knew he was terrified. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Luckily I got my dog back.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt;">Anyway…that was a mouthful. I still have a lot to say about dreams, but I will keep that for next time. Just tell me…what should I make of this dream??</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-871278211558954236.post-49649126462594695582011-08-18T06:35:00.001-07:002011-08-18T06:35:36.899-07:00You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time.<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">Jy </span></b><state><place><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">kan</span></b></place></state><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> nie jou brood aan altwee kante gebotter he nie!</span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">My girlfriends and I normally use this saying when one of us likes two guys and wants both. I’m normally the one that say: “Jy </span><state><place><span style="font-family: Arial;">kan</span></place></state><span style="font-family: Arial;"> nie jou brood aan altwee kante gebotter he nie.” This is the same as saying: “You can’t chase two rabbits at the same time.” You can’t have everything.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">You can’t always manipulate things the way you want to, and sometimes everything can’t always go the way you want them to, it just can’t. Some things in life you can’t control, you just have to go with it…you know, go with the flow and take it one step at a time.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The same with tasks or assignments, you can only tackle one thing at a time. I know we all want to kill “twee vlieë met een klap”, but that just makes a mess. It is not like you can cut yourself into two halves and say: “YOU, left me, go get that rabbit!! And YOU, right me, go get the other rabbit.”</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">If you can manipulate and change things like you want to, great, good for you, do it. If you can’t, leave it and deal with it.</span></div>A New Starthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04311299771239736460noreply@blogger.com1
