Hi!   We're taking a lifestyle turn on the blog today. It turns out hair is kind of a huge deal for me. I'm not into jewellery and I'm not a make-up enthusiast either. So hair works for me. This is a short and sweet post. It's just pictures of Cynthia of SimplyCyn a.k.a addicted2etsy .  I've been googling hair-inspirations and I'm working  my way up to the part where my hair looks this fabulous. I stalked her a bit   and was able to pick a few of her recent pictures. I was going to post some of my recent pictures that had some similarities to hers, but then my selfies looked like poop next her fancy high resolution pictures. Thankfully I have a photoshoot coming soon (yay!), so  I can upgrade from my poop pictures. Hope y'all are having a great summer? Life is moving pretty fast for me and I'm beginning to feel old. Ehm no ranting today. So till next time! Do something worthwhile in the meantime :) Fopsy     Source Source

I think there's a real term for that. Oh yeah, it's called writer's block . I've tried to write. I've tried a lot of times in the last few months. But the words aren't coming together as I'd like them to. I've gone back to read my recent blogposts and I haven't "felt" them. I've tried non-writing related creativity too, I've done dance, art (painting, collage-making and drawing), self-made recipes. All of them have just been okay. Just okay. Nothing mind blowing or pat-on-the-shoulder worthy. And as if to confirm what I already knew, I got my first B on a term paper, (actually two term papers) this semester. I was so certain that my papers had been marked by overly strict TAs, so I requested reviews with the profs and ended up being too disappointed to ask for re-marks. So here I am declaring brain death on myself. In the meantime, I'm in music therapy and hoping for this brain's resurrection in the very near future. Her

You know how it works, every time I find something good, I like to share! Enjoy!

Lord I'm split in two Part of me loves the world And the other loves You So what do I do I wanna be saved But I got to stay cool too And no I'm not a fool I know eventually I'm gonna have to choose And really I don't wanna lose My ticket into heaven And a chance to be used by You And if it's God that I'm after I can't serve two masters And before something happens I got to turn it all around Because I know I can't just have my cake and eat it too Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do you And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing But see it doesn't work like that you'd gotta to be white or black Oh ooohh Lord I've realized when it comes to sin You just don't compromise It's a matter of death and life Be weak and do wrong Or be strong and do right And I don't wanna keep going to church Singing a

So the other day, I was searching for an image on google when I came across a picture of a blind man and his bride. He is well known and I've seen some of his works, so I immediately recognized him. The 'people watcher' in me, who makes up stories about people's lives and wonders how closely related to reality the stories are, immediately imagined what dating and being married would be like for him. This whole thing happened towards the end of last year and I started a blogpost about it but never got to finishing it. But yesterday on the bus, I saw another blind man I know. I didn't know this guy personally, but he used to live close to my old house. I was never able to stop myself from staring whenever I saw him. I guess it's because I expected him to do things with difficulty and maybe even ask for my help with crossing that uber busy road? Sometimes, I'd wait at a distance to see if he crossed successfully or if he would need help.  But all he ever did w

Hello people! This is an awesome video! Just let it play and do whatever you need to do. Watch and be blessed! It's really good, I promise. And if you really don't have the time, you can book mark it for later while you read the notes I took of it...but watch it :(. It doesn't look fancy or anything, but it's good. Psalm 32:8 New Living Translation (NLT) 8 The Lord says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life.     I will advise you and watch over you. Proverbs 18:22 New Living Translation (NLT) 22 The man who finds a wife finds a treasure,     and he receives favor from the Lord. Proverbs 19:14 New Living Translation (NLT) 14 Fathers can give their sons an inheritance of houses and wealth,     but only the Lord can give an understanding wife. God instituted marriage Genesis 2:18 New Living Translation (NLT) 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper who is just right f

Crying feels like the right thing to do It just does. I'm not sure if they would be tears of joy or the sad kind For a thing that once was or for one that will never be But all the same I want to cry Then I think of tomorrow and how my eyes would be red and puffy. And how nosy Nora will pry till I'm forced to lie again. I want to cry long slow tears. The slow free kind that cat-roll down one's cheeks because they are not coerced by events that have occurred but by mere thoughts. 'Mere' makes it sound meager, but it's not. There isn't much worse than uncertainty I tell you (well there's the lack of options) But uncertainty is a pig. A big fat pig rolling around in one's mind. Rolling around doing it's haphazard dance because of what could either have been a satisfying meal or one that it knows will constipate it. But then until the dance ceases, you'll be left to wonder. And even when I know crying won't solve anything,
