holidays

hey there ma peeps it's Dulani here again, sorry for the prolonged periods of silence.....is it me or does it seem like I've been apologizing a lot lately?...or well, it's the holidays so I'm sure you people can understand my dilemma....too melodramatic?

Well it's not like my holidays have been all that glamorous or anything but you learn to make do and so far I'm having the time of my like! It's not that I've been too ever-so-magnanimous-spa during my vacation or what not (not that I'm saying spas are awesome or anything...I mean how much fun can you have with a stranger touching you??? Calm down all the spa enthusiast out there this is simple my opinion)

I've been mostly at home so far but I'm sure you all agree as I've come to realize there truly is no place like home.....

Preferances...

What is it that makes us like things? I mean each of us individually have our own preference. But what is it that makes us like the things w like?

Me personally, I’m the kind of person who falls hard. In other words if I like something, I love it. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in to anything freaky, it’s kind of boring even.

I love reading, watching movies, music, dancing, writing…(off the top of my head) But how do we like the things we like? Is it encoded in our DNA or does it develop along with our personalities?

Basically I have no idea really….but while I may not know exactly how I love the things I love, I do know whether I love something or not (confused???) Well allow me to enlighten you; it’s the rush you get when you do something you love.

For example; I read and I do know that reading might not seem like an-ever-so=extravagant-activity, it’s something I like. And so here I am grinning like an idiot with an elevated heart beat and butterflies doing the tango in my stomach…all because I found a darn good book. (Did I mention that I go out of my way when I like stuff?)

Not to sound sappy or anything but I do believe that our preferences our something beyond our control. And for each of us to be able to enjoy something that we were meant to love_ well that makes us incredibly lucky.

 These  little details our what makes up our lives and these are what twenty years from now we think about when we look back on a life lived…

An Angel Among Us

Okay one thing that I have to mention or my existence in this planet will be obsolete....(too dramatic???) is Teddy Bear Buttons.Shes our dog, but calling her a dog could be considered a capital offense in my family.....she's more like the princess of the family (and nope that is not ridiculous at all!!!)Anyway let me get this cleared up before anything else, she is by far the most perfect thing on the face of this earth....and fair warning I shall keep on mentioning her from time to time because like I said she really is the love of my life....now now people don't judge, besides if you would have met her you would know what I am talking about....

five years ago I met someone who would end up changing my entire life....I was in the seventh grade preparing for an exam at school when my sister and I got a message that there was a puppy who had wondered in to the school and of course people would tell us about it since we were kind of reputed out to be die hard animal lovers.So the only logical step was for us to forget all about the test and locate the infamous pup...obviously.Though she may have not looked like the divine angelic fur ball she is today (what with her having no fur and all that) in fact if I was going to describe the state she was in I would like to use my mum's words and say that she was basically a "mess". But we still managed to, by sacrificing our ability to obtain a good grade for the geography paper, convince our mum that it was time we extended our family and adopt a pup.....

Looking back now I have never been more grateful that my mother had said yes that day.And all the trouble me and my sister went through to bring her into our home has been worth it because as I sit here doing ...whatever it is that people do at 11 o'clock at night (basically homework) who sits right by me all night long??? My very own little domesticated angel....

STUDYING

Is it me or have any of you realized that the closer we get to the exams the more fun life is??? I'm not saying that studying is fun. Heck no, its just that when exams are around the corner I suddenly get an urge to play cricket or maybe even read a book. don't read huh? 

But for people out there who do read  you'll know what I mean . I mean don't you smell a good book a mile a away? and don't you just have  to read it??? Even if its not just reading like when you are studying as little time as you do study, don't you hear all these awesome songs that make you wanna breakout in to a dance? Or is it just me???? 

 Common who out there honestly wants to study??? ( for those of you who genuinely raised their hands_ respect man...) but as you might have already guessed I'm not one of them;So basically what I'm saying is exam time is awesome for me because while some kids may cramp the primitive urge and keep on studying I'll just go read that awesome book or break out dancing.....

I mean I would rather do anything else than study, anything else at all...probably,

Basically my theory for this is that we all know after the exams it's the holidays the best time in the year so maybe just maybe our brains haven't exactly figured out when the exams end and when the party really begins...so instead its a jumble of study stress n holiday excitement...n fr people like me its just a jumble of excitement :-P

But of course when the marks finally do come out ....that's a whole different story ;)
