cor cordis


Last night was certainly something, memorable in many ways. We went to see the local fireworks and had trouble reverse parking. Thankfully a stranger on the street offered to help us park the car. A friend suggested we drive near the city to see the midnight fireworks, and so began our very memorable race. 

We power walked from the car along the dark streets, hopped on the bus at 11:45pm, ran out the bus at 11:59pm... Then the fireworks began, everyone was in awe and some people started singing the national anthem. Then we had to wait 30 minutes to get onto the bus and find our cars in the dark. It was, without saying, the most memorable new year. 

I don't have a new years resolution, I never keep my word any way. They say people come into our lives for a reason, season or lifetime. I'm thankful for the people that are a part of my life. We share our happiness and sometimes our sorrows. Whether a person comes into my life for a reason, season or lifetime; I'm grateful for the positive changes in myself.

The word courage is derived from the French word coeur, which is the literal translation for heart. Without fear, we are neither courageous nor brave. I hope that with this new year, everyone will find courage. Find the courage to say what is weighing on your mind, to ask for help, to follow your dreams and the courage to take the first step towards every new beginning.

I've spent my last few days indulging in too much charcoal chicken and an assortment of desserts. So much for going on a diet. I keep saying I'll start jogging, yet my new sneakers just keep collecting dust. I've been pondering what to save up for and a holiday to Antarctica seems rather tempting, I've always dreamt of going there ever since I was a child. I suppose I like to chase after the unconventional. Hope you have a sweet week ahead! Image credit:  impossibleastronaut

I can hear the rain slowly falling upon the roof and the trickle of rainwater down the roof gutter. I felt a burning sensation from the antiseptic explode around my grazed knee. I have learned an important lesson, do not cross the road whilst you are tremendously drowsy. Thankfully there were no cars on the road, I picked up my belongings and limped home. It was just a bad week for me. I've secured myself a job over the holiday and I rather look forward to it. I plan to enter the  Canon Photo5  competition, I just haven't had much inspiration the last few days. I don't anticipate on winning but it certainly seems appealing. The competition seems like a great way to challenge one's perception, to be creative, to take something ordinary and turn it into something extraordinary.  I tend to erupt in sheer contempt when someone taunts me, I've learned to conceal that now. I find myself avoiding certain people and situations because I know I can't hold my

Happiness is a never ending quest for many of us. Some never quite find it whilst some spend their entire lives searching for it. Happiness is intangible, you can't see it nor can you touch it. You can't see all things with plain sight, sometimes you have to look much deeper than that.  The most common mistake that people commit is the presumption that happiness is something which must constantly be pursued. Instead of aimlessly searching, we should create our own happiness. Sometimes you must brave the dark hour of reason before you can appreciate all that is before you.  Friends are the very foundation of my entity. Without foundation, I would not exist. This is me writing to give thanks to those who mean anything at all to me. Some of them won't see this at all, but that's fine by me. Thank you for your counsel, encouragement and simply being there.  P.S I have no idea who those guys are in the picture above, but they sure made this a very memorable pict
