A day at Gold Reef City - 4D Experiance

Here in South Africa, We have a Theme Park. It's called Gold Reef City, It was an old mine which they recreated as an attraction and theme park. We had a great time there. If people came to South Africa I would definitely recommend they go they come to Gold Reef. The photo attached was taken in the 4D Cinema; it opened Yesterday, and we had the privilege to check it out. It is a short clip that could give you a good scare because of awesome realistic special effects. The chair moving, wind really blowing and so on, it’s an experience of a lifetime. Better than the Cyberspace 3d!

Your love for me everlasting and true

Last night happened the strangest thing
For the very first time you didn’t even know where to begin
I saw it in your eyes
A glance of perfect shy

You looked at me smiling
I can see now that your blood pressure is rising
Is there something you want to tell me?
Something that I might want to hear?

You keep quiet for a while
You keep staring into my eyes
As you move closer towards me
I feel you taking my hand

You went upon you knees
Asking me that question and then saying please
I was shocked, it was definitely unexpected
But how could I say no with your love so strongly reflected

From that moment I knew
That you were going to make me happy
You took me in you arms
Both of us were crying and being overjoyed
Celebrating our love until the morning light

Written today

(inspired by one of my best friends)

Your morning Sun

Wake up this very day
Just this once, live it in a different way
Open your eyes
Take deep breaths to clear your mind
Walk up to the window while you unwind
Look up into the beautiful open skies

Stand there if only for a moment
Do you hear the birds sing?
Do you see the trees dance?
The sun shines for you daily with a new glance
Its light shines upon your skin
A new day and blessing it does bring

Smile this morning whilst you feel it
Look up to the sky and breathe it
See it changing your mornings making it differently
Now you can move into your day peacefully

Written today
(inspired by one of my best friends...)

Let go...

Sometimes I feel depressed like I could jump the nearest cliff.
I have found a song that helps me feel that it’s ok to have a good cry now and then.

Frou Frou – Let go (Garden State)
Drink up baby down.
Mmm, are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind,
'Cuz it's all going off without you.
'Scuze me, too busy,
You're writing your tragedy.
These mishaps, your bubble wrap, when,
You've no idea what you're like...

(So let go) So let go
Mmm, jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah,
let go Just get in Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.

It gains the more it gives,
And then it rises with the fall.
So hand me that remote.
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless, pleasure,
We've no time for later now, you,
Can't await, your own arrival you've,
Twenty seconds to comply.

(So let go) So let go
Jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah let go Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here.
It's alright,'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
So let go Mmm, jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah let go Just get in Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
In the breakdown....
'Cuz there's beauty in the breakdown.
The breakdown.... So amazing here....
'Cuz there's beauty in the breakdown

This is also the lyrics to a song that plays in my favourite movie “Garden State”

Sort Summary about the movie:
Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his
mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

This movie can be an eye opener to many people, facing their past demons and learning to be free to express our feelings. We all have skeletons in the closet that we need to face, and Andrew did it well in Garden State.

Just to cheer me up


Today I was very sad; I had memories of a dear friend of mine that died December 2005. A friend was kind enough to comfort me with unrelenting cheerfulness when my heart was a mess and pretty much torn.

I thank him for being there for me. He is kind and special. I only pray that God will bless him with a female friend that would take care of him like he takes care of his friends.

The picture above; made me think of him...

Shane on the run!


We bought Shane a baby walker Wednesday, he enjoys it allot! He figured it out almost instantly... except that he goes backwards instead of forward! When I putt on the breaks he goes nuts, because he wants to move. Funny when he sees something he really wants, he goes forward very quickly! Sneaky baby! lol

He is still one cute little guy, you gotta love him!

Scared to Love You

I would like to share a poem I found on a site. I'd like to share it with you.

Scared to Love You
by: Megan McMichael

I wanted to love you,
But I was just too scared.
Haunted by the past,
That always seemed to reappear.

I tried my best to run and hide,
But I just couldn't get you off my mind.
Should I give love a second chance?
Or am I just wasting my time?

You promised you were different,
But so did the rest.
Then you took my hand and looked into my eyes,
And I knew you had already passed the test.

So I took a chance,
And fell deeply in love.
Maybe this is what I've been looking for,
That special kind of love from above.

God can this be true?
But everything is happening so fast.
But something is telling me,
That I've found true love at last.


Have you ever felt like this, that you were afriad to fall inlove because you get hurt all the time? I hope you find the one true love that was meant to be...

The importance of friendship

Today and everyday I realize how important it is to have friends, they have a way of cheering you up in your moments when you are most down. Sometimes when I feel like screaming from frustration, I just take a deep breath and then I go online to find my friends, they are always there to comfort me in ways they know how. Even though they aren’t physically here, their spirit fills my room with peace and joy.

For all of my friends out there... Thanks for always being there for me ;)

My son is growing up so fast!

This morning, my son; Shane, started to stand up against his camper cot, he is much stronger than I realized! He already has allot of self-confidence when it comes to sitting and rolling (since he does not want to crawl yet...)

He also speaks allot of baby language, I would like to know what he says... lol!

I taught him to say "Come" and he says it but mixes it with allot of other words.

I love him very much, and I understand how mothers feel seeing their children grow up, going out of primary school and high school! He is growing too fast!!! He is my pride and joy!

Shane is only 10 months old; he is turning 1 on the 25th of July. Soon he'll be walking and running, I will truly miss having him around as a baby when he is all grown up and have his on family...

You don't love me anymore

Monday i discovered a song that was really mind blowing, it is funny and still so sad.

I would like to share it with you...

"You Don't Love Me Anymore"

We've been together for so very long
But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
Seems you don't want me around
The passion is gone and the flame's died down

I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
You used to think I was nice
Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

Oh, why did you disconnect the breaks in my car?
That kind of thing is hard to ignore
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

I knew that we were having problems when
You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
You're still the light of my life
Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
You poison my coffee just a little each day
I still remember the way that you laughed
When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
Doing in my underwear drawer?
Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
You set my house on fire
You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
You drilled a hole in my head
Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
You never acted this way beforeHoney,
something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore


Do your self a favour and try to get this song online and just have a listen. its very cool.

My life could have been different!!

Have you ever wondered how your life could have been if you never done certain things in your life? Your destiny would have been different.

I wish that sometimes, just to have that one power to maybe turn back time, what would my life been all about? Who would I have met, where would I have stayed?

I always have these things inside my head thinking I could be someone else, living a wealthy and more successful life...

If only I have known!!!
