love machine

Happy Love Day, Y'all! I hope you all have beautiful surprises from beginning to end but don't let the loving stop there. I hope you all experience what it feels like to love and be loved. Words from the Boo this morning :

"I love you, I love this journey we are on simply because it is you I am travelling with. I love how you challenge me and how easily I am able to be myself with you. I love you always."

Now how am I supposed to keep from being in love with a love machine like that. He spews these lyrics every so often too! I tell you love turns the everyday man into a poet! ha!

It is

Some have prepared for it
Others have struggled with it
A few are dealing with it
Yet still many are oblivious to it
I have chosen to embrace it
Full on with no regrets to it
If I am going to live it
Then I purposefully will love it
This is my lifetime isn't it...
I will live every bit of it

I know a couple who struggled for 8 years to have a baby and I also know of another who got pregnant 3 months into their marriage without much planning at all. Now I know that each of these parents are very excited about their baby and they show them off proudly to family and friends. I have been wondering if the level of love for each is different though. After all the first couple had to struggle for 8 years. I can imagine the stress, the uncertainty and possible ridicule whether obvious or not, that they had to endure.

Does that mean the second couple love their baby any less? They might have had to process the implication of having a child right after getting married and the implication of that on their newly established home. Would that put a strain on their marriage and as such on their relationship with their child?

I guess in essence, I am trying to figure out if the amount of love, care and attention given to each child is affected by the circumstances or the environment of the parent prior to their birth. Just wondering :)

Zodiac Schmoziac

Who cares about horoscope? Seriously, I had no idea people were that into their horoscopes and the bearing of that on their lives. I didn't even know what zodiac sign I was until maybe Junior high or senior high. After I found out it did not change my perspective on life or what path my life was going to take. How does this have any bearing on my existence or what what I do with my life?

If you have no idea what I am talking about, you can check this out. Apparently the Zodiac signs based on the constellations is changing and a thirteenth might be added because the position of the sun is no longer in the same spot it used to be when the signs were made. Hmm.. does that mean that if the earth's axis has shifted and Ghana is in the spot Korea used to be it makes me Korean now? I think it is kind of silly really. Talk about the influence of suggestion. So I am no longer a Libra but a Virgo. Uhm... big deal! (Shake my head).

People are always seeking individuality but I guess deep down we really want that sense of belonging. Why else would anyone get mad because their personality no longer fits into one of 12 categories created. Oops sorry I guess you can not be Miss World now because you're no longer a Virgo? Be careful out there today people. The world is in an identity crises!

We're In

Another year has begun and people are making new year's resolutions and beating themselves over the head for failing on last year's. I stopped making resolutions in 2009... I think. I am not sure if that is exactly a bad idea. For some, it gives the inspiration to accomplish goals and aim higher but for me, I have simply chosen to live in the moment. I simply want to thank God for allowing me to make it into another year. He must trust me with His time so I am going to try to live in the moment and enjoy it. That in itself is a resolution I suppose.

I am working on adding a fashion segment to this blog. If that is possible, I will let you know. I hope everyone is having a great year so far. Happy New Year! God Bless! God speed! Be resolute in your resolution :)

Walking side by side

These past few years have had their fair share of bliss
There have been moments of pain in this dark abyss
Unspoken words in times of fear
You've been my comfort through it, dear
Today the fourth year begins
Maybe we might yet make our twins
I know how much that scares you
That's no cause for you to be blue ;p
Wherever life takes us
We'll be ready in this mess,
This three strand cord
Him, you and I with one accord

Happy anniversary to my Honey Boo!

Love Culture

I feel your love
I'm experiencing the thrill
I am caught up in this
The heaviness of this wave
That's tossing me and bending me
Beneath its warm and powerful curl
I'm loving this
This ride of a lifetime
Don't know when or how
It does not matter to me
I am fully aware that you are in this
All I can do is stare
Allow it to take over my mind, body, soul
Hmm, the way you love me
This has become my way of life

Annyong!

So for the past month I have been a little busy. It's not so much been with work or life per se. I have been busy watching soaps. I don't mean the kind that go on for a lifetime. Just simple lovely drama that is relatable and gives me pure joy! I think one of the reasons why I got hooked on these dramas was the same reason why I got hooked on Twilight. It made me remember how I felt when I started dating and all the joys and thrills, the fears and insecurities I experienced.

My current obsession with Kdramas (Korean drama) started after I was blog surfing one day and came across a review of one such drama and the rest is pretty much history. I was sold hook, line and sinker. If you're looking for something refreshing other than the everyday "sexified" drama we see on our TVs, then you are welcome to the wonderful world of K Drama. You can thank me later ;p

Night Sky

We lifted off into the dark night
Past the jet black clouds onto another dark lit stage
Stars hang up in the background to give it some character
This metal bird was way up in the sky
And I felt so small suddenly
I stared deep into the darkness as if willing Him to appear
There in the horizon, behind thick dark clouds
Peeped beautiful silvery ones
What a wonder to behold in this blanket of darkness
Very soon we make our downward descent
From these lofty heights one fluffy dark cloud at a time
City lights begin to permeate this comforting gloom
How thankful I am to be in awe of Your wonders :)

Keep it hot!

Just a few days ago, a friend of mine was lamenting about keeping it hot between her and her man and balancing all that with work and kids. It was more like a complaint about monotony of being in a monogamous relationship. It kind of made me sad for a minute but I guess to a certain extent it can be a little tedious for luck of trying to keep the romance alive. She said "We dated for five years and have been married the rest". I have my personal opinions but I wonder what other people think? What has kept people going? What are some of the resources out there? Over the past few months, these websites( love actually and the intimate couple ) have been great resources for me.

Sometimes, some of the suggestions from these helpful tools may seem pretty trivial and even silly but I figure with the amount of effort I put in at work, if I try to put that much into my marriage, I can't go wrong at all :) I hope everyone is having a great week! Blessings!
