Mi amor ...

Mi amor,
I wish for time ...
Time to speak to you ...
Speak my thoughts of you...
You, got me ...


Got me hanging on ...
Hanging on to something tht i don't know if it's worth hanging on







I thought I know you ...


You may know them forever ...
You may know them for a second ago ...
BUt all that time you thought you know them
Some things are just buried beneath, down under that you cannot find ways to get to its unknown territory.
How bizarre...
A cent given.
A penniless returned.
Nevertheless, did i doubt them ...
Not even close ...
Some things are best left unsaid ...
Some things are best left untouched ...
For some, they'll find their way to unguard their insecurities
And for some, God help them.

The Equator ...


I just got back from Entebbe in Uganda - The Pearl Of Africa ... my favourite destination AFRICA.
Doesn't matter where ... but i have a 'thing' for africa.
Probably, I was a black girl in my previous life ... came back in this life as a 'coloured' person.
God knows what's on my next life ... maybe 'white'?!

Anyways ....

I was there at the EQUATOR in UGANDA, standing between the equal distant of both North and South Pole, which is 9640 kilometres (6025miles).

1267 metres above sea level (3800 feet) and 0 degrees longitude.

DID YOU KNOW?

1. The average temperature is 22 degrees Celsius ( 72 degrees Fahrenheit).
2. Boiling water measures less than 100 degrees Celsius.
3. Your weight is 3% less at the Equator line.
4. You are revolving 2409 miles around the globe at a speed of 1040.6 per hour about the earth's axis.
5. THIS IS A PHENOMENON! read on ...
21st March and 23rd September are equatorial equinoxies.
The sun rises and sets directly above the equator line. At this point of time, whoever are there by the equator ... you are shadowless! Cool huh! Hv to bid a flt to this very place to witness this act of God's miracle.
6. At this point, at the equator, water drops straight down ... REALLy! I witness this one, payment for this physics viewing for solo USH5,000 n in a group USH 10,000.
USH-Uganda Shilings ... US$1 = USH 3,600. Why not?! since i'm there already!
7. This is how It works....
It's the force of the magnetic fields that's down under us that does the job ...
If you are standing on the south side of the equator, water flows anti-clockwise down.
Now, fill up your sink with water, let it stay still then drain it ... you'll witness that the flow of water goes down twirling in anti-clockwise, that's if you are in the south of the equator ... whereas on the North it goes clock-wise.

Hmmm... quite an educational trip ...

The best part... i got pictures but not in my camera! ... dumb, huh! I was lazy to bring it coz the battery went flat and too lazy to charge it! Issh! the beauty of Africa was magnificent ...
I will rise early just to view the sunrise .. it's Subahanallah! Can't describe it! Will do tht trip again ... I promise to make a comeback to get my gorilla, craved beautifully out of a wood ... not sure wat wood that is?! But it's gorgeous! fell in love with it the moment i lay my eyes on it ...
Especially its ass!

If you looking for the right one ...

I met a stranger when I was home the last time,
He's not from my homeland, but somewhere very far ...

We sat for a coffee
Chatting away ... well, he was doing the talking and boasting his life away.
Interesting .... and *YAWN!

Talking about his life, family
Where he grew up, what he does
And how empty his friends life is without him, especially when there's a party going on
Of coz, HE claims he's a party starter
WHATEVER!

I couldn't wait for his drink to finish
I can feel my legs are ready to sprint off
Just waiting for the trigger on the gun shot to be pressed ...
And the loud shout of ready, get set and 'GO!'

The starting line of a race makes my heart beats in a million beats ...
Making me feel exhausted downright even before the start of it ... Ishh!
I remember those days ...
But still, my mind craves the finishing line before I begin my stride.

Of all the conversation he went on with.
One caught my attention.
"If you are looking for the right one, you will never find it!"
And I asked, how is tht?
Even if he or she was a physco, you would still want to think that they are the right one?!
Obviously, tht question was dodged away ...

It made me think, though ...
It made sense in a way.

I think, it takes two hands to clap.
I think it takes two person to want and need what they want from each other.
I think if both has the same intention and the same goal, then working together as a team and keeping the relationship going is an effort of two person who wants the same things in life.

And, What I meant in this is not having the same stuff or sharing the same colour or eating from the same bowl.
But, wanting want they want for themselves and for each other ...
That they are willing to compromise things together and work out a plan if both has different opinion in matters.
Even if there was a glitch, none of the party will call it quits but looking at it as a challenge to overcome individual difference and work it out.
And THAT! is one of the mix in building a form of a foundation to keep the building firm and strong.
(If you are an architect, you will know what i'm talking about)
That they both can assess one other by understanding each other as an individual and not as a whole.
Knowing their weakness and their strength, not to provoke or use it against them.
And able to share thoughts and talk things through without throwing things into one anothers' face ...
And above all, leaving the past in the past and working on the present for a better being for the future.

I think I'm talking about my ancestor ....
Hmmm ... sounds more like them than the current living being.
And where can I find these people ...
Do I see any hands in the air ...
Not here, I suppose.

fLYAWay Friends ...


Dubai ...
Is a place no other than just a transit.
For some, they get comfortable quickly and settle down for good.
And, for many of us, is just a place to make quick bucks and leave for better.
I was there ...
Thinking, that i did my time and it was time to go.
Not because I want to but I was making sacrifice for other, that I thought was worth making
Nay, I was wrong.
I said my goodbyes to my good friends ...
Friends, that I'll cherish for life
They had been there, thru thick and thin
And still are.
Now, I see my very own friend, leaving ...
Leaving for good ...
Leaving for a better future ...
I see her sacrifice, worth sacrificing for ... I suppose.
I wish her all the best, in her new career and in her new life to the next level.
I thought, when I leave, things will be different.
Friends that I lived with and grew with, times in dubai
will eventually go on their separate ways ...
Coz, of the distance and the lifestyle.
I was wrong.
We kept in touch time to time.
Meet up in between cities
Make time for stopover to catch up with gossip.
And, picked up from where we left off.
These are friends, whom will be there thru time.
Though, how far you go or wherever you end up...
Hi and hello never seems tough, to drop it off.
Catch up with you, my dear friend.
On my next layover.

Home again ...

I was home two days ago...
Met a few good friends and did a few errands, as usual...
Squeeze a little time for a stanger too.

I did not make an attempt to go see my aunt or any family members'
Or to inform anyone other than my close ones that I was home.
I stayed in the hotel, the view that I had, was magnificent ... mermerising too...

The stillness of the night, fills the empty soul with peace.
The quietness, with loneliness ...
Home feels like, no longer a home.
I love home, that's where i lay my foot ...
The air, that I breathe in ...

But, it's no home to me, not anymore ...
I only feel pain when I am there ...
I only think of hurt when I am there ...

So much has happened...
All that, in the past ...
And I still feel it ...
Why? Maybe I am still holding on ...
In my thoughts, and carry it in my heart.

I want to look away from familiar places
And familiar faces ...
Faces that pinned darts in my head ...
And buried hurtful words in my heart ...

Sigh ...
Bad thoughts ... bad thoughts.
Please go away...
Coz, i want to be home again.
Home with my friends ...
And my love ones ...

Promise of Our Little Pinky fingers

Promise Of Our Little Pinky fingers
Should I uphold to it
Or, Should I just ignore it?
What about the promises you've made to me
Where did all that go to?
How did you uphold all of those you've said?
You said you trust me that i'll keep up to it.
Now, you trust me...
That's funny!
Coz, you never did!
Promises are meant to be broken
Only, those unworthy of your trust.
I can
And, I will, uphold to this promises we've made.
And when everything else has subsided
And pass us by just like any other day
Remember...
The promise of Our Little pinky fingers.

A woman Like me

Do you think
You could fall for a woman like me
'Cause I find it hard to trust
I need too much
And I really don't believe in love, no no
Do you think
That I could be the girl of your dreams
Sometimes I don't let things go
Get emotional
And sometimes I'm just out of control


You need to stop for a minute
Before you get too, deep up in it(Too deep)
'Cause everything ain't what it seems
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me(Woman like me)
You need to think about it
Before you get hooked on the venom
And can't live without it(No no)
Can't believe everything you see
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me


Do you think
That I could be the one that you seek
'Cause baby I'm one step ahead
You're two steps behind
But baby I don't mind
Do you think
That I can make you real happy baby
Just don't get me wrong
My loving is so strong
But I ain't tryna lead you on


You need to stop for a minute(No no)
Before you get too, deep up in it(No no)
'Cause everything ain't what it seems(Seems)
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me(Woman like me)
You need to think about it
Before you get hooked on the venom
And can't live without it(Without it)
Can't believe everything you see
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me
Woman like me
Woman like me
Woman like me
Oh


You need to stop for a minute(Stop for a minute)
Before you get too, deep up in it(Before you get too deep up in it)
'Cause everything ain't what it seems
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me
You need to think about it(Think about it, baby)
Before you get hooked on the venom
And can't live without it(No, no)
Can't believe everything you see
It's hard loving a woman
A woman like me
Woman like me
Woman like me
Woman like me
