Time to start back blogging!

Wow!

I didn't realize that it was so long since I posted something on my blog. 


I was away for six weeks and then ended up extending my stay to involve a 
trip home for my brother's wedding. So now I am back in my apartment 
and I have time to blog now... well soon I will have lot's of time. So I'm back baby!!

Okay time to sleep so I'll see you guys soon!

I'm bad at this blogging!

I know it's been a while since my last blog post but I've been busy and taking a little break from my online stuff. I spent a wonderful weekend doing things my husband and I love including going to the Zoo. So now I am working on a video with the pictures as well as doing a little scrapbooking. I am also trying to complete as many TESOL assignments as I can because I am going to be very, very busy from this afternoon so I might not get time to do much blogging until next week. 


A friend of mine - Tricia - asked me to do a blog posting on marriages and causes of divorces. Trish, I am sorry I haven't gotten around to this as yet. I'll try. I promise. I will have to do research first seeing that I don't really have experience in that field. 


Well have a great week guys. I plan to shop and take lots of photos :-)

Jay Sean - Down ft. Lil Wayne

I know this song has been around a while but I have it saved on my playlist and I like it... it puts you in an upbeat and nice mood. 





Listen to it.. .it will make you want to sing and bust a move if you can (unfortunately I can't!) 

Nike Football Write the Future

In keeping with the FIFA World Cup 2010 Football fever take a look at this Nike "Write the Future" Ad.... wow .. just ... wow!

Digital Cameras 2010

Oh I am so confused! I need to get a new camera and I am not sure which camera is the best one on the market - there are so many. I am looking for a digital camera with around a 12x zoom or more, 10 mega pixels or more, takes great photos (okay so that's up to me as well) but I want one that get's good scenery photos as well as people shots. I love Panasonic Lumix cameras but this morning I saw an ad on television for the Olympus Pen something camera and OMG it looks great but it can cost around 599US ... more than my budget covers.... and it might be just a little too bulky.. I'm not sure. 


Oh well.. if any of you out there have any recommendations - I'm open to suggestions!!! Please? 


Oh and Victoria Secret SEMI ANNUAL SALE starts tomorrow! Woo Hoo!

Have a great week.

Sucky Mood

So today was eventful, well on television at least - the first two 2010 FIFA World Cup matches - both ending with the sides drawing 1-1 and 0-0 so not soo exciting but I'm happy for the teams nonetheless. Then why am I in a sucky mood? I think I am feeling a little closed in today. Usually I am fine! I do my assignments, I watch television, I check my email a million times, answer questions on webanswers, check my google adsense earnings every ten minutes and I even changed the template on my blog today. So it's not like I don't have stuff to keep me occupied... but I think today I was just restless. I should have spent the day in the mall... sightseeing :-) I think I'll do that next week.. instead of just hanging out in the hotel room all day. I know I have my assignments (which I am regretting now) but I think I need to just get out for a little bit. Tomorrow I am going out with a friend and my hubby too so that's good. 

Have a great weekend and hope you guys enjoy all the football action!

Outsmart a Woman??

I got this in an email - don't know the source but wanted to share this 'JOKE' to put a smile on your face for today. Enjoy!

Outsmart a woman????......Are you kidding.....?

A man calls home to his wife and says, "Honey, I have been asked to fly to Canada with my boss and several of his friends for fishing. We'll be gone for a long weekend. This is a good opportunity for me to get that promotion I've been wanting so could you please pack enough clothes for a 3 day weekend.  

And also would you get out my rod and tackle box from the attic? We're leaving at 4:30 PM from the office and I will swing by the house to pick my things up..

'Oh! And please pack my new navy blue silk pyjamas.'

The wife thinks this sounds a bit odd, but, being the good wife, she does exactly what her husband asked.

Following the long weekend, he came home a little tired, but, otherwise, looking good. The wife welcomes him home and asks if he caught many fish?  He says, 'Yes! Lots of Walleyes, some Bass, and a few Pike.

He said, 'But why didn't you pack my new blue silk pyjamas like I asked you to do?'

You'll love the answer..

The wife replies, "I did. They're in your tackle box." 

 Never, Never, Never try to outsmart a woman!!! 

Inspirational People

Do you meet any inspirational people in your lives? A friend of mine is presently living thousands of miles away from home (just like I am) but she's lucky to meet so many different people in her life that I think are very uplifting and inspirational. You know the ones that have life experience, are older than we are and have so much to teach you. I am envious that she is able to meet such people but I also think it has a lot to do with her attitude towards life. I wonder if some of us meet people like that on a regular basis but might not realize that we are coming into contact with people who definitely can make an impression on our lives, just because of our attitude towards the world.

I think that my friend is able to embrace the life experiences that are presently coming her way because she is simply open to them. Being open minded and embracing of what life passes your way - she's able to learn from others, make certain changes in her life and is now living her life in a way that is totally satisfying, fun loving and is in a way food for her soul. I do hope that she continues to see the good in life and is able to learn life lessons that you won't find on youtube or facebook but from real live people who've lived it. 


I meet young people on a regular basis and that's great but I would not mind meeting people who can have such an impact on me that I too can have a better outlook on life, learn more and absorb the good vibes. When I was in University I considered one of my lecturers to be sort of like a mentor to me - and I learnt a lot from her. Growing up I always had my uncle to teach me the simple and important lessons in life and for that I am eternally grateful. I do hope that where ever my journey continues in life that I too can also meet people who will have such an impact. 


I know we can sometimes get busy and caught up in our daily lives but I do hope that some, if not all of you out there, take the time to listen to your elders, you know - the same old people that you might not bother to make time for because common .... what can an oldie tell me that would make a difference - PLENTY! 


On webanswers I've seen questions where people want to know why old people are so annoying or why their grandparents are this and that and it's sad to know that people out there don't appreciate what others have gone through, what they can teach you and the stories that can go untold! 


This was just a thought that ran through my mind since this morning when I received an email from my friend telling me about someone who in my mind had a positive and great impact on her, just from him telling her about his life experiences, the importance of family and his ability to make a life altering decision that is mind blowing! Thanks for the email my friend :-) Keep 'em coming. 


Well good night to you all. Hope you had a wonderful weekend and good luck this week - make it a nice one and if you happen to encounter an older and wise person - take the opportunity to sit and talk with them .. you might be surprised what you can learn from just one conversation. 


Nightie night. 
Luv Lee
