As I remember her...

My earliest memories of Lola as a kid was being dropped off with the other cousins to be baby sat during the holidays. Lola A and Tita Katu would cook breakfast for us and we would watch TV in their tiny little room...looking back we wonder how it used to house all of us so comfortably...

I remember Lola always giving us lollies and maccas burgers back when they used to be served in styrofoam packaging and for some reason carnation milk would always be served to us with Milo...

I remember Lola always smiling...from back then till now, even when she didn't recognise us. She was always happy to see us, to be around us, to take care of us. A lady whos faith for God and love for her family never waivered and was so contagious.

She survived almost all of her kids, two world wars and countless other riff raffs.

I hope those that knew her don't mourn in pain...if anything, we should learn from her that we should just smile, be happy that God blessed us with her presence and that she was able to be with us for 105 years! Smiling is the key to a long and happy life and I believe she was a great advocate of that.

Rest In Peace Lola...we will love and remember you always!

stop the angry juice...

yeah i thought i was fine...



yeah i thought I was in control of myself...



but the more in control i thought i was, the more I wasn't...



how stupid for me to end up in this situation...



ahh my body can't handle this abuse anymore...



saw some cool things today though...



and learnt some neato stuff...



but i through it all away...



damn i hate being drunk...

It rains heavy ... but at least our farmers will be happy!

For the last month, i've been living my life a week at a time ...



Correction ... i've been wishing my life away a week at a time ...



Why?



Because it all seemed too hard? Because I felt out of control?



Possibly...



Don't worry...i'm not here to whinge about whats happened and whos fault it was.



This is more a declaration...a change of times, or even more fitting, a change of perspective. I don't know why i'm writting this down or why I am telling anyone this. The only person who will truly understand the fruits born from efforts made is myself.



I guess this is more of a public diary. Hopefully a testimony/sign of hope for those that have been through the hard times, whatever they have been ... that things can get better if you permit it too. That in reality, things aren't always as bad as they seem ...



My path to happiness may or may not be the right one. It may work for me and may not work for others and vice versa, but I assure you that happiness and success is a state of mind which can be adjusted and manipulated to suit your reality.



Don't worry. I'm not on any mind altering drugs or have joined a cult. I'm just on a mission to ensure I take care of business and get back on my feet.



I'm going to put together some thought provoking sayings that you can all hopefully use to adjust your perspective so that you too may find the right path to happiness and success...




1a) Take care of number one ... 1b) You are number one
2) With every negative, there exists a positive ... Ying and Yang
3) Look after the family ... the life cycle always wins
4) Make the effort to catch up with friends
5) I don't know is not an answer ...



Thats all for now. I don't know how long this will last but I'm down for a change. Change for what? I don't know, but it's time to pull my head out of my ass and starting going for it!



Alright ... i'm outtie guys! Take care of yourselves!
