"an act of compassion and kindness" :)

Yesterday it was pouring....we had the worst rain in a while,it had been an unusually dry,wet season this year.I was crossing the street in the middle of the city with my umbrella when I noticed that there were these three girls staring at me....smiling and giggling away.Was there something on my shirt,on my face? lol...no, they wanted my umbrella....haha...although I didn't immediately pick that up :P I was busy coz I had M's computer to work on but I just stopped and looked at these three girls shivering in the rain...I felt so mushy inside...I smiled and asked if they would like to cross the street under my umbrella...they were delighted and so I took 2 of them first and made my way back across the street and left them under the shelter of one of the buildings then slowly made my way back....to pick up the other girl who felt a litte left out :( hehe....as I was crossing back I realized that there were other people who were waiting out the rain too on the otherside...watching me,as I took the time out to help these three girls out cross the street :) I was only too happy and they were too! They kept thanking me......I just smiled at them with a BIG "you're welcome" smile :D This is one of those picture perfect moments in my life!! I have many moments that touch my life and build my life....they are don't happen very often.I will always treasure this one:)

"when the rain begins to fall,you are the sunshine in my life"

I am back at it....back at blog,blog,blog..lol.....instead of taking all my problems sitting down, I am facing the things I fear most...."face your fears,live your dreams" yeah it's a sports logo or something.....but I think I am actually progressing instead of regressing into a sorrowful state...thanks to my beautiful and wonderful new friend,her words always give me comfort and keep my spirits high :) thanks S.....I will ask if I can put her name up later....I may not be in contact with her often....but just enough to keep me going and to be positive and look to the future, when we will be neighbors ;) @S: "I will borrow your sugar okay?" It's as sure as the hope that I have that things will be better....I have more work scheduled for Monday....I need to rest more coz...I'm more active these days.The weeds in my garden are overgrown...but it's nothing I can't fix....weedkiller on hand :P the weeds look much better than the carrots..lol pics later :)

"You'll learn something everyday...if you're not careful."

most times we learn by making mistakes...by doing things the wrong way until someone shows us the right way....I learned so much yesterday....about myself and about others. Whatever we learn, we need to apply in our lives....and always stay positive. Whatever decisions we make, we need to stick to them.I would consider myself a person with principles,but lately I had lost all sense of them!:(....I know that my principles are beneficial for me! As hard as they are to follow, I do follow them with the view of something better. I have been avoiding the heartache involved in making the tough calls...deciding the BIG decisions in my life. I know that this is my weakness but I keep trying to work at it. I hope that I can realize the joy that is received from "sticking to my guns" to my principles no matter how hard or inconvenient they are! I am happy that I have the support of my friends and my family and that there are people who understand my principles and even more who accept them :) Today I may have lost 2 friends just because I was trying to apply myself to my standards...but I gained a good friend who truly understands me and knows what I am going through....who appreciates the spiritual person inside me..that is all I ever wanted! :)

Home Sweet Home! :)

I am finally home.....I miss the sunshine though, on my way here I was on a bus and they played "free Willy,the movie...then as the movie was about to end, the girl behind me said "free Willy 2" sure enough,the second movie was "free Willy 2" we laughed ourselves silly :P I thought they were locals but she said she is from Suva....we got off but I didn't get her name....I will run into her soon enough,Suva is a small place :) I got a call from my contractor, he told me that I have been "cordially invited" to a cocktail party :D by this chic I met, she was giving me looks ;) hehe.....funny, thing is, I don't think they invited the guy I did the job for, I mean I only saw her once....something Kathy suggested really got me thinking....but nah, no one is secretly interested in me....even if they were I'm not worth it :P I went to see my best friend K at the office, she was working late so I got her some lunch which just made so happy!(so happy she said she loved me as a friend :P) I also FINALLY met her bf....H who didn't seem as pleased to meet me :( Anyway we had a good time talking....I am happy to be back home,where the internet is fast and convenient...and I can stay up late chatting to my friends :P

"I've got one foot in yesterday and one foot in tomorrow,which explains why I'm legless today"

I have such a joyful attitude...I have accomplished so much and I know I will accomplish much more :) I am happy that my dad is leaving for work in Liberia...yes, I know, what a thing to be happy about, Oh, if you only everyone knew what it is like to be me :P I am happy because, he is first of all..opposed to my preaching work...and he never likes mom going out(like that's ever stopped her..hehe). I will miss him though, no question about that....but I would not be too sad or upset, because I know he should be back next year. I wish him well, I know he wanted to do this last service for the Force before he retires, so I have no objections to his aspirations and I respect the fact that he has provided for me all these years...he is not that bad a dad when I come to think of it...he is a good man :) I don't harbor resentment or hate him for his bad and sometimes, totally blunt and tactless advice..lol :) I am happy for him because I know this is something he wants to do....and it's for my family and his dad back home on my island. I will be going to the airport this week then to the sunny West :D I will be out of touch with the world for a while...so not much on this blog...but I will pre-post my other blog...because it is more important! "My life may be falling to pieces but,amazingly,the pieces seem to be falling in the right place" :) LN will laugh at that one....he knows I make my own quotes...hehe. I will leave my carrots for a while but, they seem to be doing well on their own...if only kids were the same :P I hope to see those lovely twins again sometime and call my two best friends... I miss her heaps, I have to work my a** off if I am going to see my sister later this year, and I have been so busy.....but yeah,this is relaxing for me.........just BLOGGING :) blog..blog,blog blog...errr...blog blog...blog :) have a blogoed dag :P

"Total strangers need love too,and I'm stranger than most"

My carrots are flourishing! :) It has been a beautiful week for me....I love the western side of my island, the tourists are nice :P I would live there if I had a home there.The environment is natural, the hotels are>>WOW!!!<<<> :P I feel more confident these days, I know that my life will be good, as long as I keep everything in their place- my family, my friends, my job,my first love, my second love, my spiritual health, my physical health. Oh yeah, and my mental health is okay too :P (Not necessarily in the listed order)I have another job in the Western side of the main island...gonna I love working there...just not too keen on the travelling..it takes about 4hours to get there...I could fly there in less than an hour but it costs so much. I will just take the scenic route :) I love seeing the mountains and the valleys...I also have a strange fascination with twins :P I think it's freaky and kinda cool that someone actually shares your DNA...interesting....a little weird, but still interesting :P I missed my new best friend while I was away...and Kathy too :) I had the best time chatting to her the other day :) I will try to give them a call sometime. I have been busy with work and with all these little changes in my schedule and my life. I just want everything to be good :) I didn't have much time to work on my Espanol and my Nederlands but I will soon, Anyway, another thing that I'm happy about is the growth of my carrots :) Just as I promised here are the pics :D >>>>>>>>>>>>>

A special attachment :)

Me and Uncle Ronnie :P
Work is done but I don't want to go home :( I will leave tomorrow but I know I'll be back :) I visited uncle Ronnie in Nadi (v)......it's a beautiful town.HOTEL Central.....everywhere you turn there are tourists and hotels....there is a certain buzz in the air! People are so friendly here...it's no wonder tourists love Fiji :) I had so much fun at the airport playing with the automated water dispensers(taps to the ordinary people :P) I miss my home coz the internet is faster and more reliable there...I miss my family but I love this place...I could actually see myself setting up shop here and living here :)

a new environment

I sent a message to my new best friend,letting her know that I was leaving....I had a good time traveling on the tourist bus....J and I were on our way to the airport,she was leaving to Samoa to watch the SPG and see her bf. I am now in Lautoka...miles away from the comfort of my home....working...and having a great time sight seeing in a place that is mostly new to me :) I miss K and her friend E, who is going to Canada for her brother's wedding...maybe she will meet Kathy? who knows....I enjoyed watching Fiji beat Samoa winning the Gold medal in Rugby! GO FIJI! and those Tahitian VB players....I have to finish a few more installations and then go back home.....I love my job :) I miss my carrots though, I will get back to see them this afternoon or tomorrow....I got paid and I wanna hit the town and see what's selling in sugar city!...cherio:)
